Arthroscopic unterior cruciate ligament reconstructions using bone-patelia tendon-bone have been considered the best method by which others are compared. The notchyplasty is one of the important steps of this procedure and it is emphasiz,ed recent]y to prevent retear of the reconstrucled ACL causecl by impingement. However, until now, there is controversy ahout adequate amount of notchyplasty. Also, it is hard to examine the adequacy of notchyp]asty even in the aithroscopic field. The purpose of this paper is to describe the surgical technique of notchyplasty, using the flexible reamer and preliminary result of this procedure. In this study the results of ACL:reconstruction with notchyplasty which is made hy us were analized from January,1994 to December,1995. The results were as follows; 1. The notchyplasty with flexible reamer is the method tbat can be performed adequate amount of removal, and he obtained perfectly smooth notchplasty. 2. The range of motion of the affected knee joint was normal ROM after ppst operation 6 month. 3. In the last follow up, 2 cases were positive in anterior drawer test, 4 cases were positive in Lachmanns tesl., and Case was positive in Pivot shift test. 4. Average Lyshnlm knee scoring scale was 70 points al preoperative and 92 points at the last follow up.

Lipomas of the heart are benign neoplasms and have rarely been described. Due to the fact that they normally cause no symptoms, diagnosis is often purely accidental. Because of the rarity of these tumors, it seems worthwhile to present an example studied at autopsy. It was associated with the sudden death of a 15-year-old boy. The tumor arose from the wall of the left ventricle and occupied the pericardial cavity, measuring 13x7x6 cm in size. The tumor was whitish-yellow, translucent, and soft. Microscopically, the tumor was composed of mature adipose tissue which extended between muscle fibers. This current case, the giant cardiac lipoma is believed to produce disturbances of the conduction system and distrubances of cardiac filling.

Analyses were done on one hudred and twenty caaes of bleeding gastric ulcers diagnosed by emergency endoscopy for the past five years. The reaults are as the following: Much more cases were found in male than female and the most prevalent age group was 6th decade. The body of stomach along the lesser curvature was the most common bleeding site. No age related difference was noted in bleeding sites. Most common type of ulcer was in the round and shallow form. Five of six cases with exposed vessels showed atrophic changes in surrounding mucosa. Among the probable precipitating factors, analgesica, alcohols and certicosteroids were found in such order,

We describe an ovarian mucinous cystadenocarcinoma with a sarcoma-like mural nodule. In the literature, rare cases of ovarian mucinous tumors have been described which contain foci of undifferentiated carcinoma, sarcoma, and sarcoma-like nodules. The distinction between these lesions is important because of poorer prognosis of true sarcoma and anaplastic carcinoma than sarcoma-like mural nodules. This case shows different results of immunohistochemical stain for anaplastic carcinoma.
