We present an autopsy case of signet ring cell carcinoma of urinary bladder which underwent widespread metastsis through nearly entire organ. The patient, 45-year old male, suffered from hematuria, dysuria and flank pain for 6 months. Under the diagnosis of the signet ring cell carcinoma by the cystoscopic biopsy, radical cystectomy and ileocutaneous ureteral division were performed. But he died after 11-months after the diagnosis. The autopsy confirmed the widespread metastasis at the lung, kidney, adrenal gland, parathyroid gland, heart, stomach, ileum, spine, rib and meninges. The preveously resected urinary bladder discolosed the well defined fungating mass at the dome and anterio-lateral portion without apparent evidence of the remnant of the urachus. Histologically, the signet ring cells were predominent and focally mucinous pool floating the signet ring cells was noted. We could find several foci of the well differentiated adenocarcinoma and poorly differentiated adenocarcinomas. The above findings may reflect that the origin of carcinoma may be from the multipotential transitional cell epithelium.

Chronic dermatological problems associated with lower limb amputation sites include local maceration, intertrigo, blistering and ulceration, contact dermatitis, tissue atrophy, verrucous hyperplasia, lichenification, callosities, epidermoid cyst formation, and malignant neoplasia. A 60 year-old male was presented with a verrucous oozing eruption of the amputation stump of the left leg. He had been involved in a railroad logging accident 30 years before, resulting in the loss of the left lower limb. He were a below-knee prosthesis (patellar-tendon hearing). We diagnosed him as verrucous hyperplasia by clinical and histological findings and then referred him to the division of rehabilitation for a refitting of his prosthesis, after which his eruption cleared two months later.

OBJECTIVE: Because endometriosis is difficult to diagnose and has a high recurrence rate after treatment, a reliable serum marker of endometriosis is necessary. Therefore, the aim of this study is to measure the serum levels of CA125 and CA19-9 in patients with endometriosis before and after treatment and during recurrence, and to assess the usefulness of these levels in the diagnosis, clinical follow up and prediction of recurrence in endometriosis. METHODS: Eighty-eight patients who visited the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Ewha Mokdong Hospital from January 1994 to December 1998 and were diagnosed as endometriosis by laparoscopy or explo-laparotomy were enrolled as subjects. A retrospective analysis of serum CA125 and CA19-9 levels at 1 month before and 3 to 6 months after initiation of treatment was done. RESULTS: The serum CA125 and CA19-9 levels of endometriosis group(81.0+/-252.5, 36.6+/-53.4 ; mean+/-2SD, U/ml) before treatment was significantly higher than control group(11.6+/-12.8, 9.4+/-8.6)(p<0.05). Overall sensitivity rate for CA125, CA19-9 levels and both was 53.4%, 42.9% and 64.3% respectively. The sensitivity rate for endometriosis, stage 3 and 4(85.4%, 55.0%) was significantly higher than that, stage 1 and 2(p<0.05). The serum CA125 level in endometriosis group showed a significant increment according to stages(p<0.05) while the serum CA19-9 level showed an increasing trend(p=0.055) and both levels decreased significantly after treatment(p<0.05). The serum CA125 level was also higher at recurrence after treatment(p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The serum CA125 and CA19-9 levels are a useful marker for diagnosing severity of disease, monitoring efficacy of treatment and predicting recurrence in endometriosis.

Between April, 1984 and September 1988, 459 patients underwent cardiovascular surgery at the Yeungnam University Hospital. Of these, 355 cases were open heart surgeries and 104 cases were non-open heart surgeries. There were 237 patients of acyanotic congenital cardiac anomalies, 40 patients of cyanotic congenital cardiac anomalies, and 85 patients of acquired heart diseases. The sex ratio of cardiovascular diseases was represented as 1:1.3 in male and female. The age distribution was ranged from 1 day to 65 years old. The common congenital cardiovascular anomalies were ventricular septal defect (38.7%), patent ductus arteriosus (25.5%), atrial septal defect (20.7%), Tetralogy of Fallot (8.3%), and pulmonary stenosis (2.4%) in order of frequency. Among 87 acquired cardiovascular diseases, 81 patients underwent operation for cardiac valvular lesions, 51 patients had mitral valve replacement and 13 patients had aortic valve replacement and 17 patients had double valve replacement. The overall mortality of cardiovascular surgery was 3.3% and mortality of open heart surgery was 3.9%.

To evaluate usefulness of MR in assessment of tumor response to the chemotheraphy, we prospectively studied cases of cervical carcinoma with more then 2.5cm in diameter or stage IIb or more. Three courses of chemotherapy were performed with cisplatin and 5 F-U. MR images were obtained both before and after chemotherapy. Nine of 13 patients were undertaken radical hysterectomy after chemotherapy and MR examination. MR volumetry, stage and depth of stromal invasion were compared before and after chemotherapy. And in 9 patients who underwent radical hysterectomy, comparison of pathologic and MR imaging findings were also done. @ES The results were following. @EN 1) All tumors dectrased in volume (m=80.5%). 2) Five tumors (38.5%) reduced in stage, IB→CIS(1); IIA→CIS(1), IIA→IB(2), IIB→IB(1). 3) Depth of stromal invasion in MRI correlated well with that of histo-pathologic specimen in 7 of the 9 patients. Conclusively MR imaging is useful in assessement of tumor response to chemotherapy.

The characteristics of modern society's trauma is a propensity for multiple and severe trauma, specially, the fatal damage accompanied by facial bone fracture. We observed the malocclusion owing to delayed prompt treatment If the fractured fragments is crushed severely, it is difficult to make them positioned into the normal anatomical states and to fix them tightly. Post-traumatic malocclusion is usually caused by a delay in treatment and inadequate anatomic reduction. Inadequately treated facial bone fractures result in facial disfiguring and functional impairment of mastication and speech.We performed 27 cases of correction of post-traumatic malocclusion between April 1994 and June 1996. We used various operative techniques such as anterior segmental osteotomy, Le Fort osteotomy, maxillary segmental osteotomy and mandibular sagittal split osteotomy. If the malocclusion was due to disarrangement segmental osteotomy. If that malocclusion was attributed to a malpositioned skeletal bone, we take maxillary segmental osteotomy or mandibular sagittal split osteotomy. We acquired the desirable occlusion first followed by a fixation between the mandible and maxillary skeletal bones with the bite block. The aim in the correction of malocclusion was to create a harmony of centric relation and centric occlusion. After operation, intermaxillary fixation with bite block have many advantages in the treatment of malocclusion.

The inverted nipple presents many problems including both cosmetic and functional aspects and impairment in breast feeding. the histopathologic characters of inverted nipple are that inverted nipple has less fibromuscular tissue than normal nipple and has short lactiferous duct and dense fibrous tissue. Many surgical and non-surgical techniques have been designed for correction of the inverted nipple. But most of these techniques have produced unsatisfactory problems. especially undesirable recurrence is most important problem. We experienced 19 inverted nipples in 12 patients between March 1995 and January 1998. We combined modified Teimourian method, purse-string suture and Z-plasty. and had good result for 3weeks to 30months follow up. This method was effective for correction of the inverted nipple with low recurrence rate and simple techniques.
