Pagets disease has been well known disease in western countries, but it is extremely rare in orient and no case has been reported in Korea yet. It is a chronic osseous disease affecting middle and late life, characterized by progressive skeletal deformities which consist of excessive resorption and abnormal regeneration. We experienced a case of Paget's disease in a 57-year old man with involvement of pelvis, femur and skull, and confirmed with open biopsy.

The extent of excision and necessity of hepatectomy in type IVa choledochal cyst has not been clarified. We performed left lobectomy of the liver for complete excision of the cyst in a thirty-year-old male patient with type IVa choledochal cyst. Postoperative recovery was untroubled and outcome was satisfactory. Complete excision of the cyst including hepatectomy is an acceptable operative management for patients with type IVa choledochal cyst. This procedure can eliminate the possibility of subsequent cancer arising from remaining cyst.

A case of myxoma of the breast was reported. A 25-year-old woman showed a lump in the left breast which was suddenly enlarged after the delivery of a baby. A tumor measuring 73.53cm was located in the upper outer quadrant of the breast. Fine needle aspiration cytology revealed scattered benign spindle shaped mesenchymal cells with abundant myxoid material. On excision, the tumor was partly solid, partly cystic and multilocular. Each nodule consisted of an abundant mucoid material with a few spindle or stellate mesenchymal cells. Pleomorphism and mitosis were absent. The mesenchymal cells showed immunoreactivities for S-100 protein, smooth muscle actin, and CD34. The myxoid stroma was positively stained with alcian blue and mucicarmine. These findings suggest that constituent cells derive from totipotential primitive mesenchymal cells.
