A case of mucous gland adenoma arising from the main bronchus of the middle lobe of the right lung is reported, with review of related literatures. The patient, a 12 year-old Korean male, was admitted to Pusan National University Hospital with complaints of progressive coughing and dyspnea. Roentgenographic studies revealed a well defined mass involving the right middle lobe of the lung. With the impression of benign tumor, right middle lobectomy was performed. The gross specimen revealed a polypoid mass involving the main bronchus, measuring 4.5x 3.7 x 2.5cm. The cut surface of the mass revealed yellow-gray myxoid tissue. Histologically, the mass consisted of glandular structures filled with mucus, which proved to be acid one on histochemical study. The glandular lining was made up of a single layer of berign mucous cells, many of them being flattened.

The cryopathic hemolytic anemia is an autoimmune hemolytic anemia induced by cold antibody. Authors report a case of cryopathic hemolytic anemia confirmed by immunohematologic examination. A 22-year-old man was admitted at Kyung Hee Medical Center in March, 1994, with a past history of Kleinerfelter's syndrome and complained jaundice as well as dizziness. Direct antiglobulin test using polyvalent and anti-C3d monovalent antisera was positive, but was negative against anti-IgG, anti-IgA, and anti-IgM monovalent antisera. Cold agglutinin titer was as high as 1:1024 at 4 degrees C and anti-I specificity was confirmed by using cord bloods. The patient was not improved despite transfusion of washed red cells and administration of prednisolone, and on 16th day of hospitalization he manifested sudden episode of headache and loss of conscioussness, soon followed by death.

Image-guided localized, water-suppressed in vivo 1H MR spectroscopic studies were performed on the brain tumors in 3 patients. In all 3 patients, in vivo 1H MR spectra in brain neoplastic tissues revealed that the signal intensities of N-acetylaspartate (NAA) choline (Cho) resonances were decreased and increased, respectively, comparing with healthy normal tissue. A distinct lactate signal was identified in all three patients. A ratio that the observed metabolite alterations from localized, water-suppressed in vivo 1H MR spectroscopy can be useful as an index of brain tumors, and that the technique is clinically to highlight as one promising modalities in brain tumors for more accurate diagnosis.

Primary germ cell tumor of the testis is rare, which occupies 1 to 2% of all reported malignant male neoplasms. Combined primary germ cell tumor of the testis composed of embryonal carcinoma and seminoma is more rare tumor. The authors experienced a case of 50-year old male who presented with painless enlargement of right testicle. He has had radical orchiectomy and diagnosed by pathologically as combined germ cell tumor of testis. The testicle is measuring 180 gm in weight and 9×6×5 cm in dimension, and almostly replaced by tumor mass. Grossly the tumor is rubbery solid smooth tumor mass, with variegated cut surface with geographically outlined diffuse necrotic area. Histologically the tumor is composed of two components of tumor, which are solid growth pattern of large round to polyhedral cells with clear or granular cytoplasm and distinct cell border, and anastomosing glandular and papillary arrangement of anaplastic epithelial cells. The former corresponds to seminoma, and the latter to embryonal carcinoma. Each tumor lobule is separated by abundant fibrous stroma.

We have recently experienced a clinically atypical case of malignant histiocytosis involving the spleen, ileum and bone marrow, in a 25-year-old Korean male. He was admitted to our hospital because of multiple purpuric lesions of skin which had been appearing since 2 years ago. Physical and laboratory examinations revealed marked splenomegaly with pancytopenia. With clinical impression of hypersplenism, splenectomy was performed. During the operation, the surgeons found a dark red mucosal lesion in the ileum incidentally, to resect the segment. Microscopic findings of the spleen and the ileal lesion showed extensive proliferation of atypical histiocytes, many of them phagocytosing numerous erythrocytes. Bone marrow biopsy was done for follow-up study, which showed increased cellularity with infiltration of atypical histiocytes.

Granulomatous mycosis fungoides is an extremely rare and unusual histologic variant of mycosis fungoides. This form is clinically characterized by spontaneous resolution of ulcerated nodular lesions into poikiloderma. Histologically, a strong granulomatous component can obscure the underlying cutaneous lymphoma, which is frequently mistaken for non-neoplastic dermatitides or cutaneous sarcoidosis. We report a case of granulomatous mycosis fungoides occurring on the left cheek of 34-year-old man confirmed histologically with an aid of immunohistochemistry and clinical course (immediate response to PROMACE-CYTOBAM chemotherapy), with emphasis on differential diagnosis, along with a review of literature. This is the first documented report in the Korean literature.

Verrucous carcinoma is a highly differentiated variant of squamous cell carcinoma and is very rare in the uterine cervix. It infiltrates locally but practically never metastasizes. Authors present a case of verrucous carcinoma arising in the uterine cervix of a 48 year-old Korean female and review literatures about the verrucous carcinoma reported.
