PURPOSE: We studied to evaluate the effect of percutaneous catheter drainage (PCD) in liver abscess. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed clinical data (presence of fever, WBC count), radiological findings (computed tomography, ultrasonography and abscessogram) and correlated them with treatment period. Percutaneous drainage of liver abscess were performed in 19 patients under fluoroscopy guide during recent three years. RESULTS: Eighteen patients (95%) were cured, and one patient underwent surgery because of peritonitis caused by PCD procedure. Average treatment period was 17 days. CONCLUSION: In the treatment of liver abscess, PCD is thought to be safe and effective.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the frequently of low ahetenuation area in enhanced CT scans of non-Hodgkin lymphoma(NHL) and to find out if there is any pertinent relationship between this and the histopathologic classification. MATERIALS & METHODS: The authors reviewed CT scans in the newly diagnosed 53 patients with NHL. We defined the-low attenuation area as the one with CT attenuation value lower than that of the muscle, surrounding lesion, or other lymph nodes after contrast enhancement. NHL with the low attenuation areas were correlated with the histopathologic findings according to the classification based on the Working Formulation and the frequency of the lesion was evaluated. RESULT: Of the 53 patients, the low attenuation area was found in 13 patients (25%) at CT. The histopathologic classification could be made in 12 patients, among whom one patient was classified as low grade, six as intermediate grade, and five as high-grade. Concerning the specific cell typing, the diffuse large cell type was most common in intermediate-grade NHL seen in five patients and the large cell, immunoblastic type was most common in high-grade NHL seen ih three patients. CONCLUSION: The authors concluded that the low attenution area within lymphoma is not an infrequent finding at CT, and there was no stastistically significant correlation between this finding and the prognostic grading of the Working Formulation.

Eosinophilic granuloma of bone well-documented in the literature. This lytic bone disease most commonly occurs in children, but a fraction of the cases does occurs in adult. When the disease occurs in adults, the bone most often affected include the skull, ribs, mandible, clavicle, pelvis, and long bone of the extremities. We report the case of a 31-year old woman with isolated eosinophilic granuloma of the thoracic spine. She had a 1-month history of progressive back pain that radiated to the right anterior chest. Authors performed resection of vertebral body lesion and soft tissue lesion and anterior fusion from T7 to T9. Immunochemical staining showed a positive S100 protein stain. EM demonstrated characteristic Birbeck granule. Postoperatively, the patient underwent a 5-day course of RT to the T6-T10 spine with 200cGY fractions (total dose 1000cGY). Postoperatively, the patient's back and chest pain had disappeared. There is no evidence of local recurrence or distant metastasis at 18 months follow-up. Though rare, eosinophilic granuloma of the adult spine could be considered in the differential diagnosis of osteolytic lesions.

We experienced three young patients with diffuse lymphoid hyperplasia of the gastric antrum. The peculiar nodularity of the stomach in tliese patients is another cause of etat mammelanne in addition to hypertrophic gastritis and prominence of the areae gastricae. The etiology of the diffuse lymphoid hyperplasia of the gastric antrum is not known. The symptqm is not specific and not related to hitologic and gastroscopic finding but rather to psychological disturbance. We propose longstanding observation for the change of the nodularity.

We report a case of cutaneous calcinosis following extravasation of calcium calcium chloride in a 3-week old neonate, After extravasation of 3% calcium chloride infusion, rapid and marked swelling, erythema, and signs of soft tissue necrosis developed over the extensor surface of both upper extremities. Through the small channels of the destroyed epidermis, tiny white pieces of calcific masses were eliminated spontaneously. Histologically the calcium deposits were found as amorphous masses in the upper dermis and the discharge of calcium deposits also took place by means of transepidermal elimination. The central bone formation and surrounding calcium deposition were present along with dense lymphohistiocytic cell infiltration in the deep dermis. Complications of extravasation of calcium solution during intravenous infusion included localized calcification and, ocasionally necrosis. The incidence of compllcations was about eight percent. This is a case which again emphasises of the danger of using calcium chloride intravenously in the neonate or young infant.

Journal of the Korean Radiological Society 1995;32(3):453-459
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to determine the detection rate of early gastric cancer and to measure the focal gastric wall thickening in computed tomography. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From November 1991 to November 1993, 19 patients (age;33--76 years, male ;female:4;5) with surgically proven early gastric cancer were examined by upper gastrointestinal series and abdominal computed tomography. Twenty lesions in these patients were included in this study. Computed tomography was performed with conventional technique using gastrografinR (17 cases) or water filling (2 cases) method in supine position. Additional scans were obtained either in right down decubitus (15 cases) or supine position (4 cases) with an ingestion of gas forming agent. We determined the detection rate of early gastric cancer at computed tomography and measured the maximum thickness of the lesion. RESULTS: The pathologic types of the early gastric cancer were type lib + IIc in 5 cases, type IIc in 6, type III in 3 and type I, I + IIc, Ila, lib, lib + III and IIc + III in one, respectively. Seventy-five percent (15 cases) of early gastric cancer was detected at upper gastrointestinal series and fifty percent (10 cases) at computed tomography. Computed tomography could detect 100% of elevated carcinomas (3/3) and 41% of depressed carcinomas (7/17). The maximum thickness of the lesion ranged from 7 mm to 11 mm (mean ;8mm). CONCLUSION: In a well-distended stomach, CT could detect focal gastric wall thickening (mostly, less than 1 cm) caused by early gastric cancer in half of the cases.
