The extent of excision and necessity of hepatectomy in type IVa choledochal cyst has not been clarified. We performed left lobectomy of the liver for complete excision of the cyst in a thirty-year-old male patient with type IVa choledochal cyst. Postoperative recovery was untroubled and outcome was satisfactory. Complete excision of the cyst including hepatectomy is an acceptable operative management for patients with type IVa choledochal cyst. This procedure can eliminate the possibility of subsequent cancer arising from remaining cyst.

The posterior cruciate ligament in the stoutest ligamentous structure in the knee joint. Kennedy and Hawkins have confirmed its strenght to be about 2 times that of the anterior cruciate ligament or tibial collateral ligament. This would appear to offer the support that this ligament has a vital role to play in knee stabilization. But, in the past, non-surgical management was frequently elected either because of the belief that most kness with posterior cruciate insufficiency are asymptomatic or because it is difficult to access surgically. Recently, Hughston and Trickey reported good results after surgical repair of the rupture of the posterior cruciate ligament. And current trend is to repair it surgically. So, we analyzed the 36 cases of acute posterior cruciate ligament injuries, who were admitted and treated surgically in Severance Hospital between Jan. 1981 to Dec. 1985, and obtained the following results. 1. Single rupture of the posterior cruciate ligament largely results in good outcome. 2. When the rupture site is in the substane, we can obtain relatively good results with the augmentation using the medial head of the gastrocnemius. 3. When combined with medial or lateral compartment injuries, the chance of later instability and reconstruction is high.

Hibernoma is a rare subcutaneous neoplasm resembling the brown fat of the hibernating animal. It is usually found in the interscapular, cervical or axillary regions. We report a case of this rare tumor which developed on the occeipital scalp of a 42-year-old woman.

Partial trisomy 10q syndrome is a rare chromosome anomaly characterized by severe mental and growth retardation, craniofacial dysmorphia with prominent forehead, fine arched eyebrows, deep set small eyes and micrognathia, In addition, other physical manifestations have been reported as skeletal anomaly, congenital heart disease, inguinal hernia, and so on. We report a case of partial trisomy 10q syndrorne with certain stigmata which confirmed by chromosome analysis.

A 43-year-old male patient showed well defined, irregular, dark eythematous, thick plaque and tumor with ulceration on the right chest, right axilla, pubis and scrotum, Histopathological findings rervealed atypical lymphocytes showing epidermotrophism and heavy infiltrations in the deep dermis and subcutaneous tissue. The infiltrative cells were positively stained with leukocyte common antigen and T-cell UCHL-1 antigen, but not with L26 antigen. This clinicohisto-pathological features were consstent with dermblade type of mycosis fungoides. The authors report clinicopathological findings of the case with its thrapeutic responses to systemic chemotherapy and radiation treatment.

Doppler echocardiography was performed to evaluate the tricuspid regurgitation in 786 infants and children with heart disease. 3 Doppler methods were used. : The duration of systolic turbulence of tricuspid regurgitation in thr right atrium was evaluated by continuous wave Doppler method, the distance of systolic turbulence within right atrium from the tricuspid plane, by pulsed Doppler method and the retrograde systolic hepatic vein regurgitation, by color Doppler method. The following results were obtained. 1) Incidence of pan systolic tricuspid regurgitation in each disease were as follows. 68% of ECD, 66% of Ebstein's anomaly, 54% of pulmonary atresia, 50% of arrhythmia, 45% of ASD, 38% of TAPVR, 15% of VSD, 26% of TOF, 12% of PDA, 13% of normal children. 2) In about 90% of children with tricuspid regurgitation, hepatic vein regurgitation was detected by color Doppler echocardiography.

Objective To investigate human papilloma virus(HPV) infection in normal endometrium, atypi-cal hyperplasia of endometrium and endometrial carcinoma. Methods By the nucleic acid hybridization,we detected 28 pairs of endometrial carcinomas, 21 pairs of atypical hyperplasia of endometrium. Normal endometrium from 16 pa-tients with uterine myomas were as control. Results HPV16/18 DNA was detected in 25 endometrial carcinoma and 2 atypical hyperplasia of endometrium and 1 normal endometrium. Conclusions Endometrial carcinoma HPV16/18 DNA were significantly higher than those infected with atypical endometrial hyperplasia and normal endometrium. Note the occurrence of endometrial cancer,the development may be associated with HPV infection.
