Thirty nine cases of multiple primary malignant tumors examined at the Department of Pathology, Keimyung University School of Medicine during the period from November 1974 through March 1986 were analysed clinicopathologically. The findings are as follows: 1) Thirty nine cases had synchronous lesion and six cases metachronous lesion. The second primary malignancy occurred mean 4.7 years after the first malignancy in patients with metachronous lesion. 2) The age at diagnosis of the first malignancy ranged from 26 to 76 years, the average being 51.8 years. The male-female ratio was slightly less than 1:1.2. 3) The most commonly involved site in multicentric origin was gastrointestinal tract (44.4%) with all adenocarcinoma and the second urogenital system (29.6%). In cases of different tissues or organs (11 cases), ovary was the most frequent site (5 cases), followed by cervix (4 cases). 4) Multiple primary malignant tumors of urogenital system were all eight cases and six cases among them (75%) had smoking and drinking habits. 5) The detailed informations about possible environmental, familial and host factors necessary for the investigation of multiple primary tumors were lacking in most cases. Therefore, the history taking with special attention to these factors must be carefully recorded. And also, we suggest that in the high-risk individuals, careful follow-up and thorough search for early cancer detection or prevention should be taken.

Three rare tumors of the oral cavity are presented. Lingual chondromas, approximately twenty to thirty cases appear to have been reported since the lesion was first described by Berry in 1892, which are usually seen on the lateral borders in the anterior two thirds of the tongue, while the ventral surface and the posterior third are rarely involved. Chondromas of the tonsil are of very rare occurrence, which are thought to arise as a result of metaplasia, rather than from embryonic rests, with chronic fibrosing inflammation being the inciting factor. Because of its rarity, the following cases of chondroma of the tongue and tonsil are being added to small list of such case reported in the literature.

Thirty three cases of metastatic ovarian carcinoma were analysed cilincopathologically. The patient's age ranged from 20 to 68 years, the average being 44.3. Most ovarian tumors were bilateral and asymmertically enlarged, firm and occsaionally multicystic. Histologic examination revealed adenocarcinoma in 31 cases, of which Krukenberg tumors in 14; squamous cell carcinoma in 2. The most common primary site was gasrtointestinal(75.8%), followed by genital, breast and gallbaldder. Most Krukenberg tumors were originated from poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma of stomach. The ovarian and primary carcinomas were synchronously diagnosed in 15 cases, while in 3 cases the primary carcinoma was not round until the ovarian tumor had been removed.

We conducted a retrospective analysis of 394 patients with uveitis seen at Kyung Hee University Medical Center from January 1982 to June 1987 to determine the frequency of occurence and to study the clinical characteristiscs of various form of uveitis. The results were as follows; 1. In classification of uveitis by location, 309 patients(78.4%) were anterior uveitis, 41 patients(10.4%) were posterior uveitis, 31 cases(7.9%) occurred as panuveitis. Pars planitis accounted for 13 cases(3.3%). Anterior uveitis was the most common causes of uveitis. 2. In cases of anterior uveitis, 127 cases(32.7%) were idiopathic iridocyclitis, 121 cases(30.7%) were traumatic iridocyclitis. In cases of posterior uveitis, Tuberculous uveitis was seen in 11 cases(2.8%), and Toxoplasmic chorioretinitis occured 10 cases(2.5%). In case of panuveitis, Behcet's disease was observed 10 patients(2.5%), and was the most common cause of panuveitis, pars planitis accounted for 13 cases(13.3%). 3. In aspect of age of uveitis, the peak age was 16~45 yrs.(60.6%). In case of anterior uveitis and pars planitis, peak age group was 16~45 yrs. In case of posterior uveitis and panuveitis, peak age group was 31~60 yrs. 4. In clinical characteristics of uveitis by location, anterior uveitis occurred at mostly younger age than did any uveitis(27.8 yrs.) in average age of diagnosis. In sex ratio, male patient of pars planitis predominated with over 3 times number of female patient. In the average duration of illness from the date of first symptom to date of first recorded quiescence, anterior uveitis was mostly shorter duration than did any uveitis(1.1 Mon.). 5. In the evaluation of laterality, all cases showed binocular equal distribution except pars planitis. 6. The largest number of complication was showed in panuveitis. 7. The most common symptom of uveitis was visual disturbance.

This report describes clinical cases of a palato-gingival groove on a maxillary lateral incisor with associated localized periodontal disease and pulp necrosis. The tooth of the first case was extracted because of severe bone destruction. The palato-gingival groove of the second case was eliminated using a round bur, and the resulting defect was filled with synthetic graft and covered by an absorbable membrane. Both diagnosis and treatment of palato-gingival groove were very difficult and usually extraction of the involved tooth is the treatment of choice, but combined endodontic-periodontic treatment allowed the tooth to be saved.

This is a retrospective review of our experience with endoscopic extraction of 20 cases of foreign body on the upper gastrointestinal tract at sanggye paik hospital from Oct. 1989 to Nov. 1993. Among 20 cases, 3 cases were under 5years of age and 17 cases were over 27years of age. 9 cases (45%) were located in the esophagus, 8 cases (40%) were in the stomach and 3 cases (15%) were in the duodenum. All children (100%) have true foreign body, almost of all adults (82%) have food-related foreign body. Dysphagia with chest pain or vomiting was the most common symptom in the esophageal foreign body. Epigastric pain and vomiting or hematemesis were common symptoms in the stomach or duodenal foreign body, All of the esophageal foreign body (100%) were extracted within 72 hours, most of all (91%) stomach and duodenal foreign body were extracted after 72 hours.
