Authors found a case with a slight trauma in which two eye lashes penetrated into the anterior chamber. This 25 years old male patient came to our clinic 2 weeks after trauma on right eye and eyelid, complaining of photophobia, foreign body sensation and ocular pain which were persisted for two weeks. On slit-lamp examination, two eye-lashes on iris surface were found in the anterior chamber of his right eye and a dot like corneal superficial opacity was also found on 6 o'clock meridian near the limbus, but that is questionable whether it is penetrating wound or not. No other foreign body was noticed in the same chamber. The eye lashes were removed surgically and the one of them was carried out by iridectomy. The literatures were briefly reviewed for the mechanism of the penetration of the cilia was very mterestmg.

Twenty two cases of extraarticular skeletal tuberculosis which showed unusual radiological features arereported and classifed into several categories with discussion on the differential diagnosis. Radiologicalpatterns of skeletal tuberculosis is so variable that with any kind of skeletal changes the possibility of theskeletal tuberculosis should not be excluded because of lack of its classical patterns.

Congenital agenesis of the right lobe of liver is a rare anomaly and only 33 cases have been reported. CT showed absence of the right lobe of liver and compensatory hypertrophy of the other lobe. We report the CT findings of a new case of this anomaly with a review of the literatures.

A study on branching patterns of middle hepatic artery was performed in 109 patients with A-P and oblique view hepatic angiogram, which refered to size and location of quadrate lobe in CT and SMA portography We could analyze the branching patterns of middle hepatic artery (MHA) in 100 among the 109 patients. MHA arising as a first branch of left hepatic artery was the most common pattern (50%), and MHA arising from proper hepatic artery separately one from left hepatic artery was the next common pattern (35%). MHA originating from left gastric artery, or from anterior or posterior of the right hepatic artery was seen. MHA WAS not found as an accessory or replaced artery except as replaced common hepatic artery.

Malignant lymphoma of the bone is a rare, but involves the shaft or metaphysis of the bone, producing destruction, frequently pelvis, spine, skull and femur. Most of the patients are over thirty years old and equal sex distribution. The authors experienced one case of lymphoma involving the left ilium.

The fibrous dysplasia, divided into 3 categories of the monostotic, polyostotic and extraskeletal forms, is a relatively rare disease which was first reported by Well in 1922 and shows a characteristic findings replacing the medullary cavity of noe or more bones by the pathologically proliferating fibrous connective tissues. In a consequence, the structural integrity of the diseased bone becomes weakened and suffers frequent episodes of pathologic fracture and deformities of the bone, which are most common around the hip. Various operative methods and instruments have been tried to manage the pathologic fracture around the hip recently. The authors report a satisfactory resnlt of total hip replacement for the pathologic fracture in a patient of the fibrous dysplasia involving the proximal half of the right femur.

Proliferating cell nuclear ntigen (FCNA) iis a nuclear protein that is syntheaimd in late Gl and S phases of cell cycle and is correlated with the cell proliferative stale. The recent study demonstrated that FCNA functions in 13NA replication. The present study evaluated proliferetive iindices (PI) for the assessment of tumor proliferation and for investigating prognostic significancx, in cervical tumors. lmmunohiatoehemical PCNA staining was perfurmed in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded cervical tissues via the avidin-biotin-complex immunoperoxidase methad. Mean PI was 36.03+/-5.14% in normaI controls, as compared to 66.19+/-11.36% in cerviml intraepithelial neoplasia. and 63.19+/-10.94% in invasive cervical cancer. Our results showed no significant correlation between Pll and histological type. Among invasive cervical cancer (24 cases), PI waa 64.43+/-10.94% in squamoua cell carcinoma and 59.00+/-4.10% in adenocarcinoma. There was no eipiifiant relationship between Fl and clinical etage, and between PI and lesion size. This study auggeste that Pl may not serve as a new prognostie factor in cervical tumors.
