Sonographic evaluation of the 23 patients with herniated lumbar disc was carried out via anterior approach. The most important sonographic finding of the herniated disc was posterior displacement of the ventral echogenic line. Twenty patients(87%) were coincided in the result of the preoperative sonography and myelography. Of them, 19 patients were well correlated with surgical findings. A 19 of the 20 patients with satisfactory outcome found changes on the postoperative sonogram. In conclusion, disc sonography may be the modality evaluating patients with low back pain and radiculopathy. And also, sonography will become the supplementary study of the patient who has the persistent radiculopathy following discectomy.

The occurrence of a lipoma-like condition associated with trauma would tend to be regarded as a subset of or a separate entity from ordinary lipoma. We report herein a case of traumatic Lpoma occuring on the dorsum of the left hand. The patient was a 46-year-old male, who had struck his left hand against a window about two months previously and noted casually an asymptomatic, firm, dermal lesion at the site of injury. On gross examination, the enucleated nodule was a smooth-surfaced, yellow fatty mass measuring 0.3 × 0.5 × 0.3cm which looked like a kernel of corn. Microscopic examination revealed encapsulated mature fat consistent with lipoma.
