Cavernous lymphangioma in mediastinum is a rare congenital malformation of lymphatic system and is caused by lack of adequate drainage from the sequestrated lymphatic vessels to the venous system due to insufficiency or atresia of the efferent lymphatic channels The authors experienced 10 month-old male patient with cavernous lymphangioma in mediastinum documented by chest CT and open biopsy The review of the literature was made briefly.

Castleman's disease is a rare clinicopathological entity characterized by multicentric angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia and sometimes associated with polyneuropathy. We report 4 cases identified with diagnosis of Castleman's disease by lymph node biopsy and peripheral polyneuropathy. They had a hypesthesia of all limbs, gait disturbance, weakness of distal lower limbs and enlargement of lymph nodes. Among them 2 patients were combined with POEMS (polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, increase of M protein, skin change) syndrome. Motor and sensory nerve conduction velocities were below 70% of lower normal limit, the amplitudes of compound muscle action potential (CMAP) and sensory nerve action potential (SNAP) were reduced. Deterioration of nerve conduction study was more severe in lower limb than the upper. More denervation potentials were found in lower limbs than the upper and in distal limbs than the proximal. As disease getting worse, the slower conduction velocity and lower amplitude of CMAP and SNAP were observed.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of therapeutic cold on the recovery process after an incomplete muscle strain injury. METHOD: We made incomplete muscle strain injuries with the predefined extent. Unilateral tibialis anterior (TA) tendons were detached at their distal insertions and stretched beyond the complete rupture points. The incomplete strain injury point was identified on the deformation- tension curve. We strained each TA of 18 rabbits to 20% deformation point and held for 2 seconds. After injury, we applied ice packs for 5 minutes on unilateral TA. Histologic findings were examined at 1, 2 days, 2, 4, 5 weeks. RESULTS: Incomplete strain injuries were occurred at 19.36 4.02% deformation. In the acute phase, cold applied TA showed fewer (15.4+/-4.2) inflammatory cells infiltration than control TA (21.8+/-5.3) at LPF (x40). But, there was no significant difference between cold applied TA and control in the recovery phase. CONCLUSION: It is possible to develop certain amount of incomplete muscle strain injuries. The results of this study suggest that the cold therapy may reduce the inflammatory reaction in the acute phase of muscle strain injury. The findings provide no significant support for the positive or negative effect of cold therapy on incomplete strain injury.

Though leiomyosarcoma usually occurs in the gastrointestinal tract and uterus, it rarely occurs in the wall of large veins and arteries. We present a case of primary leiomyosarcoma arising in the great saphenous vein of the left inner thigh and spreading for some extent along the vein in a 54 year old female. Diagnosis was confirmed by desmin stain and electron microscopy. Postoperative course was fine. This is the first report of this in Korean literature.

Facial hyperhidrosis has a symptom of excessive sweating on the face with or without underlying disease. It can be surgically treated by video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). We encountered three cases of facial hyperhidrosis which we treated by VATS, which was performed by resection of the lower third of stellate ganglion and T2-T3 sympathetic ganglia with chains. Postoperative symptom was improved in all cases. There were no postoperative complications such as Horner's syndrome or postsympathectomy neuralgia.

Subvalvular aortic stenosis developed after patch closure of perimembranous VSD is rarely reported. A 18-month-old, 8 kg child with this complication after VSD closure 8 months ago in other hospital has been treated medically and was admitted to this hospital because of severe cardiomegaly and sign of heart failure. Cardiac catheterization revealed 55 mmHg of pressure gradient between aorta and LV cavity. We report one successful redo case of surgically relieved subvalvular aortic stenosis in a child after patch closure of perimembranous VSD.

Thoracoscopic esophagectomy can be performed in esophageal diseases to reduce the postoperative complications. Recently, We encountered a case of esophageal cancer and successfully treated it by thoracoscopic esophagectomy with gastric pull-up. A 59-year-old male was presented with swallowing difficulty and an esophagogram, esophagoscopy, and chest CT showed an ulcerating tumor on the lower esophagus. The operation was performed in three stages: mobilization of the esophagus by thoracoscopic surgery, construction of a gastric tube through a laparotomy, and cervical anastomosis between the esophagus and the gastric pull-through. Hoarseness developed postoperatively, and the postoperative esophagogram showed leakage at the esophagogastric anastomotic site. The anastomotic leakage was healed following surgical drainage and the patient was discharged in good health. Hoarseness subsided spontaneously two months after surgery.

Actinomycoces is a gram positive, anaerobic, branching and non-acid fast bacterium which is a normal habitant of the skin, oral cavity, tonsil and gastrointestinal tract and its human infection is rare. Pelvic actinomycoses is frequently caused by Actinomycoces israel-ii. It is chronic, progressive, and more suppurative than granulomatous disease, and the symptoms are usually persistent and gradual, therefore the misdiagnosis and improper trea-tment are not uncommon. Actinomycoses is generally classified as cervicofacial, abdominal and thoracic type ac- cording to the site of the primary infection. Many actinomycotic pelvic infections in women used intrauterine device with long du- ration were reported, in contrast, others suggest that actinomycoces developed opportunistic infection irrespective of intrauterine device presence. We have experienced 4 cases of pelvic actinomycoses, one case with IUD(Lippes' loop) in a 47 year old woman, the other case with abdominal wall ctinomycoses in a 34 year old woman, the third case without IUD in a 41 year old woman, the fourth case with IUD(Cu-7) in a 37 year old woman and reported them with a review of literature.
