Eosinophilic granuloma of bone is the most common variant of histiocytosis X. Most of the lesions occur in the skull, ribs, spine or long bone and may be single or multiple. The occurrence in a growing epiphysis is extremely rare and only seven cases have been reported in the literature. A 13 year old boy with eosinophilic granuloma occurring in proximal humeral epiphysis was seen at Seoul National University Hospital in Nov. 1984 and was treated with curettage and autogenous bone graft followed by radiotherapy. The patient was followed for 13 months and complete healing was obtained.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this project was to suggest guidelines for management of Low grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesion(LSIL) by evaluating natural course of LSIL of the uterine cervix. MATERIAL & METHODS: Among the women who visited Korea University Kuro Hospital from Jan. 1993 to Oct. 1998, One hundred fifty eight patients who were diagnosed as LSIL with colposcopy directed biopsy were followed up by colposcopy and/or cytology, HPV DNA test every 3 months. RESULT: In I58 patients who were diagnosed as LSIL, colposcopic examination confirmed progression to high grade intraepithelial lesion(HSIL) in 17(10.7%) patients, persistence of LSIL in 87(55%) patients, regression to normal in 54(34.2%) patients during the 3 year follow-up period. In prediction of LSIL subgroup, abnormal Pap test is 39%, 64%, 71% and abnormal HPV test is l6%, 29%, 65% in regression, persistent and progression group respectively. The shortest time of transition from minor lesion(LSIL) to high grade lesion was 12 months (the range, 12-51). CONCLUSION: Of the patients who were diagnosed as LSIL and monitored by colposcopy for 60 months, 34% had disease that regressed, 55% had persistent disease, and 11% had progressive disease. HPV DNA test(p=0.002) is more informative than pap test(p=0.567) in prediction of disease progression.

PURPOSE: In order to assess the incidence and radiologic findings of herniation pit of the femur neck in Korean. IVlaterials and Methods:In 152 macerated femurs of 88 cadavers, and randomly selected 115 hips of 70 patients, the presence of herniation pit was determi ned by using fluoroscopy and radiography. It was then examined by CT for inspection of overlying surface and its opening was confirmed by inserting thin steal wire under the fluoroscopic guidance. RESULTS: Seventeen herniation pits in 15 macerated femurs of 13 cadavers were noted. (14.8%, 13/88). Two of 13 individuals showed bilaterality. All lesions were found only in males. Six herniation pit in 6 femurs of 6 patients (8.6%, 6/70) were also noted. All lesions were on anterosuperior aspect of. femur neck. Plain radiographs of macerated femurs revealed well marginated and thin sclerosis in 15 lesions. Of all 23 lesions, CTshowed cortical breakdown in 3, and overlying cortical thickening in 8. In 15 macerated femurs, roughed area of cortex was found in anterosuperior aspect of femur in all cases, and tiny openings(diameter less than 1 mm) related to cystic lesions were confirmed in 9 lesions. CONCLUSION: The incidence of herniation pits was 14.8% in 88 cadaver, and 8.6% in 70 patients. All were males.
