The Enchondroma is a benign cartilage forming harmartoma arising chiefly from short tubular bones on hands and feet. If on a long tubular bone or flat bone such as femur or ilium, it is most likely to be a true neoplasm such as chondrosarcoma, not a harmartoma. A case of enchondroma was reported. It occurred over right ischium of 19 years old male and was found incidentally by roentgenogram. The lesion was biopsied and diagnos's was confirmed by histologic examination. It was treated by curretage with filling of cavity with bone chips. Post operative-course was uneventful.

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.

A retrospective study was made of the previous medical records of 47 infants with congenital syphilis born from mothers with untreated syphilis at Severance Hospital, Yonsei University College of Medicine during the years 1972 through 1983 The VDRL titer of these infants was higher than 1: 8 with reactive FT.A-ABS test. They were subjectd to hematologic examinations and the results were as follow s, 1. Of 46 infants with congenital syphilis, anemia was observed in thirty-one (68%) Reticulocytosis occurred in seventeen(89%) of nineteen infants with congenital syphilis having the mean value of 6. 0%. 3, Of 4.7 infants with congenital syphilis, leucocytosis was noted in seveenteen 4, Thrombocytopenia was observed in twenty (64%) of thirty-one infants with congenital syphilis.

An giant cell tumor arising from the tendon sheath and other soft tissue of the extremities, hasbeen of clinical and pathologic interst for many years, which is the second most common tumor of the hand, but it is not common in other location. One case of tendon sheath giant cell tumor with regional bone destruction on the pharangeal bone is presented which experienced at Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Korea University recently. At first, the lesion of bone that is confused with Enchondroma in roentgenographically, which is confirned regional bone destruction of tendon sheath giant cell tumor by histologically. The tumor is composed of a vascularized network of spindle shaped or ovoid stromal cell regularly and rather interspersed with multinuclear cell and xanthoma cells. We report a case of giant cell tumor of tendon sheath and review of literature.
