Plexiform schwannoma is a relatively rare, benign peripheral nerve sheath tumor that can be located either in the deep soft tissues or in the dermis or subcutaneous tissue. This tumor may occur singly or as multiple lesions and may be localized to one anatomic site or diffusely distributed. Plexiform schwannoma should be differentiated with plexiform neurofibroma or other plexiform malignant tumors. We describe a case of a 6-year-old patient with multiple cutaneous plexiform schwannomas who had no other stigmata of neurofibromatosis 1 or family history suggesting a genetic disorder. The histopathological study revealed a tumor composed of multiple intradermal or subcutaneous interlacing and interconnecting fascicles and nodules that vary in size and shape. Characteristic Antoni A type cellular tissue showing frequent nuclear palisading and Verocay bodies were observed within well circumscribed elongated nodules.

The purpose of this paper is to review the colonofiberscopic findings in the 21 patients with tuberculous colitis, diagnosed by colonofiberscopic findings including histopathology and by follow-up observation after anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy. The results are as follows: 1) The male to female ratio was l. 33(R:4) and the average age of the patiets were 34. 9 years in men and women respectively. 2) The chief complaints were abdominal pain in 15 cases(71.4%), diarrhea in 14(66.7%), weight loss in 12(57. 1%), anorexia in 8(38, 1%), and so on. 3) Anemia and an increase in ESR were major abnormalities in hemogram. 4) On the chest X-ray examination, 65% of the cases showed active tuberculous lesions and the barium enema disclosed the changes suggesting tuberculous colitis in 52. 6% of the cases. 5) On colonofiberscopy 8 cases were ulcerative, 6 were hypertropbic and 7 were ulcerohypertrophic. 6) Histopathologic examination of the biopsy material from the colonofiberscopy revealed granulomata with caseation necrosis in 2 cases, granulomata without caseation necrosis in 8 cases, and the findings of chronic inflammation in 11 cases. 7) This study suggests importance of colonoscopic examination including histopathologic study of the biopsy material in the diagnosis of tuberculous colitis. The diagnostic efficieocy would be much improved if bacteriological examinations of the specimen could be developed.

PTC is the single most valuable diagnostic method available to evaluate the size, shape and site of the causesof obstuctive jaundice among various radiological procedures. The authors reviewed and radiologically classifiedthe PTC films of 203 cases of obstructive jaundice from July 1977 to June 1983 at Presbyterian Medical Center,Jeon-ju confirmed clinically, operatively and pathologically. The resuls are as follows; 1. The most common causeof obstructive jaundice was bile duct stoen (64/203:31.53%) and the other causes were bile duct cancer(43/203:21.18%), pancreas cancer(41/203:20.19%), biliary ascariasis &/or clonorchiasis(20/203:9.85%), ampulla andduodenal cancer (7/203:3.45%), fibrotic stenosis of sphincter of Oddi(6/203: 2.96%) etc. in that order. Of theseprimary involvement with cancer was more frequent (91/203:44.33%) than stone. 2. 88.33%(179/203) of patients wasover 40-year-of- age and the sex ratio between male and female was about 2:1. 3. The average maximal diameter ofextrahepatic bile duct just proximal to the site of obstruction or stenosis by stones or by cancers was nearlyequal(2.36cm:2.38cm). 4. Cancers caused complete bile duct obstruction in about 75%(68/91) of cases and also wereassociated with intrahepatic duct dilatation about 92%(84/91) of cases. But in contrast biliary calculi showedgood drainage of contrast medium in 75%(48/64) of cases and 92%(59/64) showed normal diameter of intrahepaticduct. 5. The differential PTC findings between bile duct cancer and pancreas cancer were not so distinct but inbiel duct cancer the obstruction site of the bile duct was more irregular and serrated than pancreas cancer, whilethe latter showed a more downward convexity and a smoother end. Moreover annular filling defect with overhangingedges was seen only in bile duct cancer.
