Granulomatous mycosis fungoides is an extremely rare and unusual histologic variant of mycosis fungoides. This form is clinically characterized by spontaneous resolution of ulcerated nodular lesions into poikiloderma. Histologically, a strong granulomatous component can obscure the underlying cutaneous lymphoma, which is frequently mistaken for non-neoplastic dermatitides or cutaneous sarcoidosis. We report a case of granulomatous mycosis fungoides occurring on the left cheek of 34-year-old man confirmed histologically with an aid of immunohistochemistry and clinical course (immediate response to PROMACE-CYTOBAM chemotherapy), with emphasis on differential diagnosis, along with a review of literature. This is the first documented report in the Korean literature.

Truncus arteriosus is a rare congenital heart disease which is diagnosed in from 1 to 2 percent of congenital cardiac birth. Whithout surgical intervention, survival beyond infancy is unusual. Unoperated patients who survive to adult life have associated pulmonary stenosis or have developed pulmonary arteriolar disease. We report a case of truncus arteriosus in a 17-year-old man with a review of literature.

Nerve sheath myxoma or neurothekeoma, a rare cutaneous neoplasm probably originating from the nerve sheath, is classified into three groups as classical, cellular, and mixed types based on cellularity, mucin content and growth patterns. Only two cases of nerve sheath myxoma have been reported in the Korean literatures. We report a case of nerve sheath myxoma occurring on the scalp of a 29 year-old woman. It was identified as the mixed type by histopathological, immunohistochemical and electronmicroscopic findings.

Acrometastasis is rare and accounts for 0.1% of all metastasis. Renal cell carcinoma accounts for only 10% of this infrequent site. It is usually the late manifestation of a disseminated tumor, but may also be the primary manifestation of an occult cancer. Clinically, it may mimic benign tumors or nonneoplastic osteoarthritic conditions, thus resulting in misdiagnosis and improper treatment. We reported a case of acrometastasis in a renal cell carcinoma in a 76-year-old man who had been diagnosed with a progressed renal cell carcinoma with metastasis of the lung and brain.

BACKGROUND: Pediatric cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) often results in increased capillary permeability and accumulation of excess total body water, which can lead to multiple organ dysfunctions. Recently, modified ultrafiltration (MUF) has been used during pediatric cardiac surgery to limit various deleterious effects of CPB. We investigated the effects of MUF on lung compliance and gas exchange in pediatric open heart operations. METHODS: Fifteen pediatric open heart surgery patients were evaluated. Lung compliance (dynamic compliance), arterial oxygen tension (PaO2), arterial to end-tidal carbon dioxide tension difference (Pa-ETCO2), systolic blood pressure (SBP), heart rate, and hematocrit (Hct) were measured. Measurements were made after induction of anesthesia, after CPB, after MUF and after sternal closure. RESULTS: Lung compliance, PaO2, SBP and Hct increased significantly after MUF compared to after CPB. After sternal closure, lung compliance decreased significantly from the value following MUF. PaO2, SBP, Hct decreased significantly after CPB compared to the values obtained after induction of anesthesia. Pa-ETCO2 and heart rate did not change significantly. CONCLUSIONS: Modified ultrafiltration increases lung compliance, PaO2, SBP and Hct. MUF is an excellent option for improving cardiopulmonary function immediately following pediatric cardiopulmonary bypass.

Ewing's sarcoma is a neoplasm of the undifferenciated small round cells, which generally affects the bone and deep soft tissues of children and adolescents. We present a case of gastric Ewing's sarcoma; a 35-year-old female who had no symptoms. While she was at a routine medical checkup, a protruding mass in her gastric antrum was incidentally found on esophagogastroduodenoscopy. Endoscopic ultrasonogram showed a submucosal mass on the same lesion and a laparosopic wedge resection was done. Pathologic gross findings showed a granular grape appearance tissue and histoloigc examination revealed a small round cell tumor with CD 99 immunoexpression positive. In general, a combined modality therapy for Ewing's sarcoma such as surgical resection with chemotherapy, is accepted as an effective method. However, this patient had no adjuvant chemotherapy after surgery and she has no recurrence for eleven months.

Actinic keratoses (AK) are premalignant lesions, which can develop into invasive squamous cell carcinoma(SSC). Therapies for AK include cryotherapy, curettage, topical 5-fluorouracil, laser therapy and so forth. All therapies currently prescribed can be painful and may result in scarring and changes in skin pigmentation. A potential new treatment modality for AK is the imiquimod (Aldara(R)), which can be applied by patients themselves. We reported a case of AK which was very extensive on the scalp of the old man, who was treated with topical imiquimod.
