Herein, polyorchidism possessing of more than the usual number of testicles, which was found in two patients, is reported. Both patients had three testes, and one presented with painful swelling of the right scrotum caused by torsion of the testis and the other revealed a non-palpable testis in the right hemiscrotum. Both patients were managed surgically with orchiopexy and an orchiectomy, respectively, followed by the insertion of an artificial testis.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the CT findings of focal organizing pneumonia and to correlate them with pathologic findings to help differentiating from lung cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We evaluated radiologic and pathologic findings of five patients with solitary pulmonary nodule which were confirmed as focal organizing pneumonia pathologically. RESULTS: On CT scan, focal organizing pneumonia had irregular margin contacting the pleura in all five cases. The shape of the nodules were spherical to wedge or elliptical and the size from 3.5cm to 5.5cm (average 4.2cm) in largest diameter. On postcontrast CT scan, all nodules showed enhancement and four cases showed central low density components. Two nodules contained air within the nodule. In four cases, pleural changes such as effusion and/or focal thickening were noted. No lymphadenopathy was found in all cases. Pathologically, the enhancing portion on CT showed findings of organizing pneumonia such as granulation tissue with fibroblast proliferation in alveolar space and interstitial thickening. The central low density areas on CT were due to ischemic necrosis, abscess and exudate, transudate and infiltration of foamy histiocyte. CONCLUSION: The possibility of focal organizing pneumonia should be considered when peripherally located solitary pulmonary nodule had enhancing component with no combined lymphadenopathy on CT scan.

Peripheral blood stem cells(PBSC) were collected for autologous transplantation for the first time in Korea wish Fenwal CS-3000 Plus blood cell separator. Twenty-nine procedures were performed for 7 patients without any incidents. GM-CSF(400ug) was administered daily for 5 days before PBSC collection and the collections were performed 3-6 successive days. A total of 3.5-11.4 x 109 mononuclear cells(MNCs) were collected from 7,000mL blood processed per procedure. The number of MNCs collected was mainly dependent on the concentration of MNCs in patient's blood(r = 0.68, p<0.01). We concluded that the PBSC trans plantation program could be set up without difficulty in Korea since the Fenwal CS-3000 Plus blood cell separator is already available in many institutions and the procedure used in this study is easy to follow.

9.A Case of Cogan-Reese Syndrome.
Journal of the Korean Ophthalmological Society 1991;32(1):116-121
Cogan-Reese syndrome is a disease characterized by glaucoma in an eye with peripheral anterior synechia, multiple pigmented iris nodules, and ectopic Descemet's membranes. Cogan-Reese syndrome is a variant of iridocorneal endothelial syndrome and shares common properties whcih are corneal endothelial degeneration, iris atrophy and secondary glaucoma, with progressive iris atrophy and Chandler's syndrome. We have experienced a 43-year-old female patient complaining of visual dimness in the left eye. On examination, we found characteristics of Cogan-Reese syndrome which were corneal endothelial pleomorphism and cell loss, corneal edema, iris atrophy and multiple pigmented nodules on the surface of the iris, peripheral anterior synechia, and increased intraocular pressure in the left eye. We report a case of Cogan-Reese syndrome which has not been reported in Korea.

We report a case of non-cirrhotic portal hypertension in a 73 year-old woman, who had 19-year history of idiopathic myelofibrosis. There were esophageal varix, splenomegaly, and ascites. The biopsied liver showed irregular sinusoidal/ perisinusoidal fibrosis and occasional central-to-central fibrous connection. In areas with extensive fibrosis, coarse collagen fibers filled the sinusoidal spaces and compressed hepatocytes. However, nodular regeneration was absent. Double immunohistochemical stain for smooth muscle actin and proliferation cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) revealed diffusely activated stellate cells, some of which showed nuclear PCNA staining. There was also extramedullary hematopoiesis with bizarre megakaryocytes. The portal vein and its branches were patent. Idiopathic myelofibrosis is a rare cause of non-cirrhotic portal hypertension: the portal hypertension was considered to be the result of sinusoidal/perisinusoidal fibrosis in this case.
