Melorheostosis is a rare entity while causes pain and stiffness in a limb and has an unknown etiology. It is characterized by roentgenographic appearance of melting wax dripping down one side of a candle along the major axis of long bone. The present case represents a melorheostosis of the left tibia accompanied by synovial chondromatosis in the left knee. Good result was obtained by arthrotomy of the left knee and removal of the bony masses in the joint.

There are many procedures for treatment of injuries of acromioclavicular separation but there are still con- roversies concerning the best management of these injuries. With this in mind, we treated surgically 22 cases of acromioclavicular separation of which 3 cases were old type 2 and 19 cases were type 3 in the department of orthopaedic surgery, Eul Ji General Hospital from March 1977 to darch 1982. The results were as follows: l. Of 22 cases, 21 cases (95.5%) were male with peak incidence in the 3rd and 5th decades (90.9%). 2. The most common causes of the injuries were traffic accidents (63.6%) and followed by falling from height (22.7%). 3. The diagnosis in type 2 and type 3 injuries is based on the clavicular displacement and instability at the acromioclavicular joint. 4. Operative treatment consists of Weaver and Dunn method (54.5%), modified Phemister method (18.2%), Neviaser method (13.0%), Stewart method (9.1%) and modified Henry method (4.5%). 5. The operative procedure in old type 2 and typc 3 injuries is good treatment of acromioclavicular separation.

PURPOSE: To assess the MR findings of Tolosa-Hunt syndrome and to evaluat differential point of cavernous sinus lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Eleven cases of Tolosa-Hunt syndrome were evaluated by MRI with specific regard to the shape of cavernous sinus, signal intensity, and pattern of enhancement. Other associated findings were also anlaysed. RESULTS: Two patients had normal MR features of the cavernous sinus. When compared with the contralateral normal cavernous sinus, the involved cavernous sinus was enlarged in six of the nine patients. The outer dural margin was convex and bulged laterally in 6 cases, flat in 2 cases, and concave in 1 case. Of the nine patients, five had iso-signal intensity and four had low signal intensity relative to gray matter on short TR/short TE. Three had isosignal intensity and 6 were not detectale on long TR/short and long TE pulse sequence. Contrast enhancement was seen in 8 cases ;7 cases showed homogeneous enhancement, 1 case heterogeneous enhancement. CONCLUSION: In the appropriate clinical setting of painful ophthalmoplegia, MR findings of cavernous sinus abnormality that consist of iso to low signal intensity on short TR/short TE images and isointense or undetectale mass on long TR/short TE or long TR/Iong TE images may suggest the dignosis of Tolosa-Hunt syndrome.

BACKGROUND: New stent implantation during intracoronary brachytherapy is discouraged due to the high risk of late thrombosis. However, new stent implantation is inevitable in some cases due to the inadequate ballooning or major dissections. Long-term follow-up results of newly implanted stents during brachytherapy are not well-known. We performed this study to evaluate the long-term clinical outcomes of newly implanted stents during intracoronary brachytherapy. METHODS: In the Seoul national university Post-Angioplasty RhEnium irradiation (SPARE) trial, patients were treated with conventional catheter-based technique and then randomized to either beta- radiation (RG) or control group (CG). Radiation was performed with 188 -rhenium-filled conventional balloon catheter system. From 1999 to 2001, new stent implantation was performed in 58 and 56 patients in RG and CG, respectively. Clinical and angiographic follow up data were analyzed. RESULTS: In RG, short-term angiographic restenosis rate was lower than CG (28.6% vs 53%, p=0.03). In RG, late thrombosis was found in 3 patients. However, there was no late thrombosis in CG. Two year major cardiac event rates were not different between the 2 groups (RG: 25.9% vs CG: 28.3%). Independent predictors for major cardiac event in RG were major dissections (>or=type C) after stent implantation (beta=70, p=0.01) and longer administration of dual antiplatelets (aspirin+clopidogrel/ ticlopidine, >6 months, beta=0.07, p=0.04). CONCLUSION: Stenting during intracoronary brachytherapy seems to be ineffective in reducing long-term event rates. When new stent implantation is inevitable during brachytherapy, extreme attention is required not to make a dissection and long-term dual antiplatelet treatment should be followed after stent implantation.

Oncogenic osteomalacia is a rare clinicopathological condition. The syndrome is characterized by hypophosphataemic osteomalacia with hyperphosphaturia, low plasma 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D and normal plasma calcaemia and parathyroid hormone, associated with a tumor, generally of mesenchymal origin. Complete excision of the tumour results in cure of the whole syndrome. Recently we experienced 56-year-old woman with oncogenic osteomalacia caused by a chondromyxoid fibroma of the left foot. We report this case with the review of literatures.

PURPOSE: To determine the patterns of evaluation and treatment in the patient with early breast cancer treated with conservative surgery and radiotherapy and to improve the radiotherapy techiniques, nationwide survey was performed. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A web-based database system for Korean Patterns of Care Study (PCS) for 6 common cancers was developed. Two hundreds sixty-one randomly selected records of eligible patients treated between 1998~999 from 15 hospitals were reviewed. RESULTS: The patients ages ranged from 24 to 85 years(median 45 years). Infiltrating ductal carcinoma was most common histologic type (88.9%) followed by medullary carcinoma (4.2%) and infiltrating lobular carcinoma (1.5%). Pathologic T stage by AJCC was T1 in 59.7% of the casses, T2 in 29.5% of the cases, Tis in 8.8% of the cases. Axillary lymph node dissection was performed in 91.2% of the cases and 69.7% were node negative. AJCC stage was 0 in 8.8% of the cases, stage I in 44.9% of the cases, stage IIa in 33.3% of the cases, and stage IIb in 8.4% of the cases. Estrogen and progesteron receptors were evaluated in 71.6%, and 70.9% of the patients, respectively. Surgical methods of breast-conserving surgery was excision/lumpectomy in 37.2%, wide excision in 11.5%, quadrantectomy in 23% and partial mastectomy in 27.5% of the cases. A pathologically confirmed negative margin was obtained in 90.8% of the cases. Pathological margin was involved with tumor in 10 patients and margin was close (less than 2 mm) in 10 patients. All the patients except one recieved more than 90% of the planned radiotherapy dose. Radiotherapy volume was breast only in 88% of the cases, breast+supraclavicular fossa (SCL) in 5% of the cases, and breast+SCL+posterior axillary boost in 4.2% of the cases. Only one patient received isolated internal mammary lymph node irradiation. Used radiation beam was Co-60 in 8 cases, 4 MV X-ray in 115 cases, 6 MV X-ray in 125 cases, and 10 MV X-ray in 11 cases. The radiation dose to the whole breast was 45~9.4 Gy (median 50.4) and boost dose was 8~20 Gy (median 10 Gy). The total radiation dose delivered was 50.4~70.4 Gy (median 60.4 Gy). CONCLUSION: There was no major deviation from current standard in the patterns of evaluation and treatment for the patients with early breast cancer treated with breast conservation method. Some varieties were identified in boost irradiation dose. Separate analysis for the datails of radiotherapy planning will be followed and the outcome of treatment is needed to evaluate the process.
