A case of peripheral neuroblastoma of a 33-year-old male, which was located on the left buttock, is presented. Histologcally, this tumor demonstrated smaliound cell infiltrations which were arranged in a characteristic rosette pattern and the tumor cells were positively stained with neuron specific enolase. We review the clinical, histopathological ultrastructural and immunohisto chemical characteristics of this rare tumor, as well as the differential diagnosis with other small round cell tumors.

Kimura's disease is an uncommon, chronic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology. It is an important category of reactive lymphadenopathy in the oriental population. The most common sites are the subcutis of the head and neck, and parotid gland. It's clinical course is benign nature. The treatment modalities for this disease are steroid therapy, radiation therapy and surgical excision. We experienced a case of soft tissue mass in the left arm. It was slightly tender and relatively movable. We excised the mass, which was turned out to be Kimura's disease on microscopic examination.

PURPOSE: Right lobe donation is technically more difficult and need to define surgical technique and has more risk for surgical complication. Right lobe donation usually matched graft size but safety of donor is major concern. In this paper, we reviewed our experience of donor hepatectomy using right lobe in regarding to safe of our donor operations, retrospectively. METHODS: Retrospective analysis of 42 donor operations for adult LDLT using right lobe was performed. We observed the patient characteristics, the operative findings, peak liver enzymes (AST, ALT, bilirubin) as donor risk and mortality, morbidity. RESULTS: The peak value of liver enzymes in the group of less the 30% of remained liver were significantly higher than the group of more than 30% of remained liver and these values could induced the risk on donor. The postoperative peak value of liver enzymes were increased according to degree of fatty change especially in case of more than 10% fatty change even without significance. We observed the liver regeneration on postoperative 3 months and the regeneration of liver volume on postoperative 3 months was about two times compare to preoperative value and the regenerative activity was more increased in the group of less amount of remained volume. There was no donor mortality and most important complication was biliary complication, in which were biliary injury, bile leakage and biliary stricture. CONCLUSION: Right lobectomy for donor operation requires a meticulous surgical technique to minimize donor morbidity. Right lobectomy can be performed safely with minimal risk in case of careful donor selection that the remained liver volume exceed 30% of the total liver volume and the liver of minimal fatty change.

A rare case of a cavernous hemangioma located within the fourth ventricle was reported in a patient with recurrent symptomatic episodes of bleeding. With the advent of modern microsurgical technology and high-resolution imaging modalities, especially MRI, it has become possible to make a correct preoperative diagnosis and the well delineated lesion can be resected totally with good results.

PURPOSE: This study was performed to find out the natural history of lung cancer in Pusan-Kyungnam area and changing of that in previous report. MATERIALS AND METHOD: We studied retrospectively 508 patients with pathologically proven lung cancer from January 1991 to December 1995. We analysed age and sex distribution, initial symptoms before diagnosis, first method yielding histologic diagnosis, cell types of lung cancer, initial stage of lung cancer, schema of overall patients, survivial of lung cancer patients, and prognostic factors affecting survival of lung cancer patients.. RESULTS: The overall male to female ratio was 4.5: 1 and the age distribution ranged from 20 to 86 years, and the median age of overall patients was 60 years. Histologic classification revealed that the most prevalent type was squamous cell carcinoma (251 cases, 49.4%), followed by adenocarcinoma (141 cases, 27.8%), small cell carcinoma (91 cases, 17.9%), and large cell carcinoma (3 cases, 0.6%). In non-smali cell lung cancer 56.8% were stage IIIb and IV, therefore curative operation was done in 18.7% of all cases, but in small cell lung cancer 65.6% were extended disease. Meidan survival of overall patients was 11.8 months. There was a quite difference in survival among the stages. In non-small cell lung cancer, median survival was 59.7 months, 27.3 months, 18.5 months, 12.7 months, 5.9 months in stage I, II, IIIa, IIIb, IV in each. In small cell lung cancer, median survival of limited disese was 12.2 months and median survival of extended disease was 6.7 months. The stage and the performance status were independent prognostic factors in both small cell and non-small cell lung cancer. CONCLUSION: The prognosis of patients with lung cancer was still grave, but the survival was better than that of a previous report. This may be accorded to increase in early diagnosis and operation and advance in supportive care.

Natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) is the new therapeutic technique. This procedure stands on the cutting edge of minimal invasive surgery that accesses the abdominal cavity through a natural orifice under the endoscopic image. There have been many animal experiments, and clinical trials of NOTES. We performed a transgastric endoscopic cholecystectomy of a pig using conventional endoscopic instruments through a natural orifice and the assistance of a 5mm laparoscopic trocar.

Cholelithiasis, duodenal ulcer, duodenal perforation and tumor invasion may lead to choledochoduodenal fistula (CDF). CDF often has no specific symptoms and may be incidentally detected in an upper gastrointestinal radiographic study or endoscopy; but in some cases, it may be accompanied by recurrent cholangitis and liver abscess. In this paper, a case of recurrent liver abscess caused by CDF is reported. A 62-year-old female was admitted to the authors' hospital because of right upper quadrant pain and fever. The abdominal computed tomography showed a liver abscess in the right lobe. A duodenal fistulous orifice was detected with endoscopy, and a contrast was injected through the duodenal orifice using a catheter under fluoroscopy. The injection of the contrast revealed a fistulous track between the duodenal bulb and the common hepatic duct. In fistulas complicated by recurrent liver abscess, surgery or medical management may be needed. The CDF in this case study was treated via endoscopic clipping.
