For the establishment of the basis of treatment and study in the patients of facial bone fracture, we performed a clinico-statistical study about 28 papers and 9564 cases reported as facial bone fractures in the journal of Korean association of oral and maxillofacial surgeons, the journal of the Korean academy of maxillofacial plastic and reconstructive surgery, and related journals. The results were as follows: 1. The ratio of men to women was 4.50:1. 2. The age frequency was highest in the third decade(37.6%), and fourth(21.5%), second(15.5%), fifth(10.3%) decade in orders. 3. The most common location of facial bone fractures was the mandible(62.7%), and zygoma complex (22.6%), nasal bone(15.0%), and maxilla(13.0%) were next in order of frequency. 4. The major etiologic factors were traffic accident(37.9% ), fisticuffs(26.4%), and falldown and slip down(23.4%). 5. The frequent fracture site of mandible is symphysis(39.3%), angle(24,4% ), and condyle(22.5%). The ratio of left to right was 1.31:1. Open reduction(69.1%) was the more frequently using method of treatment in mandibular fracture than colsed reduction (28.6%). 6. The sites of zygoinatic fractures were zygoma complex(48.0%), zygornatic arch(35.7%), and combined(16.3%). The left to right ratio was 1.37:1. 7. The most frequent maxillary fracture was Le Fort I (31.4% ), and Le Fort II (27.1%), unilateral(14.3%), Le Fort III (7.6%) were next in order of frequency.

Giant lymph node hyperplasia (Castleman's disease) is a rare disease, which represents a peculiar form of lymph node hyperplasia. Generally, it has been considered as benign and localized disease but recently, revealed malignant transformation in some cases of multicentric form. It usually occurs on the mediastinum and occasionally neck, lung, axilla, mesentery, broad ligament, retroperitoneum or soft tissue of extremities. Histopathologically, it is divided into hyaline vascular or plasma cell type and the former is characterized with prominent vascular proliferation and hyalinization in the central portion and tight concentric layering of lymphocytes at the periphery of the follicles (mantle zone) and the latter is characterized by a diffuse plasma cell proliferation in the interfollicular area. From the point of view of clinical presentation, it has been divided into solitary form, which presents as a localized mass located most commonly in the mediastinum, and multicentric form, which occurs multiple location and has systemic manifestation and transformation into malignancy. Herein we report a case of Giant lymph node hyperplasia occurring in the left spermatic cord in a 58-year old male with brief review of literatures.
