PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the incidence and the degree of peritumoral edema on MRI in meningioma and to correlate other MR findings with the edema. MATERIALS AND METHODS: MR images of 35 patients with histologically-confirmeal meningioma were retrospectively reviewed. We analyzed the MR findings with special attention to the presence or absence and degree of edema. The edema was graded as absent, mild (extending less than 1 cm from outer margin of mass), moderate (1 to 3cm with mild mass effect), and severe (more than 3cm with marked mass effect). We also evaluated size and margin of the tumor, heterogeneity of mass signal, enhancement pattern and dural enhancement of the masses. In 24 patients with cerebral angiography, cerebral vascularity on angiogram was correlated with MR findings. Statistic correlation analysis was done using SAS ver 6.04. RESULTS: Twenty-five of 35 cases (72%) had edema; mild in 11 cases, moderate in 10 cases, and severe in 4 cases. Heterogeneous signal intensity of mass (<0.001), heterogeneous enhancement of mass (<0.001), mass size (<0.001), location (<0.001), and vascularity on angiography (<0.05) were well correlated with edema, while mass margin (>0.05), dural enhancement (>0.05), and histologic type (>0.05) were not correlated with edema. CONCLUSION: In meningioma, moderate to severe peritumoral edema occurred in 41% (14/35). The edema was correlated with heterogeneous enhancement, size, location, heterogeneous signal intensity and vascularity of the mass on angiography.

In the case of crush injury, the failure rate of replantation of free tissue transfer is high. Recently, the freezing of intact and repaired microarteries has been known to relieve spasm without inducing thrombosis in vivo. Therefore, the author thought that the vascular freezing of crushed vein showing only unrecognized endothelial damage after adequate debridement of a damaged vessel can also relieve spasm without inducing thrombosis and improve the patency rate of microvascular anastomosis. In this study, the process of vascular freezing was investigated in veins with acutely damaged endothelium using ethly chloride in a rat model. Two experiments were performed in 30 Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing about 250 gm. In the first experiment, a new crush model was established on the femoral vein of the rats. The degree of vessel injury was evaluated as crush energy. The proper crush energy was determined only by the endothelial damage without inducing thrombosis(0.037 J). In the second experiment, femoral veins were crushed with the energy of 0.037 J on the left side and then frozen after inflicted crush injury with the same energy on the right side. The gross and pathologic findings and patency rates were observed at postoperative day 2, 10 and 30. Patency in both the crushed and crush-freezing group was 100%. Pathlolgic findings in the crush-freezing group were more severe loss of the intima and most parts of the media, as well as cellular depopulation of the media when compared to the crushed group. Microthrombi adherent to the wall were demonstrated in several crush-freezing specimens, but the crush-freezing group showed relief of crush-induced vasopasm and endothelial regeneration. In conclusion, the freezing of microveins with acute endothelial damage relieves spasm without inducing thrombosis. Therefore, this study presents the posslbility of clinical application of vascular freezing in a case of crush injury requiring microvascualr anastomosis.

Angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy (AILD) is a systemic disease clinically characterized by fever, generalized lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, polyclonal gamma-globulinemia and Cooms' positive hemolytic anemia. The lymph node in AILD reveals a polymorphic feature consisting of a proliferation of small vessels, immunoblasts and plasma cells and acidophilic interstitial material. Progression into immunoblastic sarcoma is reported as high 35% of the patient with AILD. Nathwani et al have observed not only malignant transformation of AILD in sequential tissue examination, but also the coexistence of AILD and immunoblastic lymphoma in the same lymph node or at different sites in the same patient. Multiple clusters or islands of compactly arranged large lymphoid cells constitute the initial histologic evidence of immunoblastic sarcoma. Immunoblastic sarcoma is a large cell lymphoma conceptually related to transformed T-and B-lymphocytes of the extrafollicular compartment of the immune system, which proignosis is poor. We have recently experienced a case of immuno blastic sarcoma arising in angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy in a 24-year-old woman. She had history of multiple enlarged lymph nodes in the inguinal, axilla and supraclavicular areas. Previous lymph node biopsies revealed reactive change. Six month later, right axillary lymph node biopsy reveled AILD with focal clusters of immunoblasts. Subsequent lymph node biopsy at the same site revealed diffuse immunoblasic sarcoma, B-cell type. A case presentation with histologic findings and a brief review of literature were done.

9.Sonographic Findings of Inguinal Herniation of the Ovary.
Journal of the Korean Radiological Society 2003;49(3):211-215
PURPOSE: To describe the sonographic findings of inguinal herniation of the ovary. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty-five girls aged 1-12 (mean, 4.7) months with a groin mass underwent sonographic examination, and in seven of the 45, inguinal herniation of the ovary was detected, and confirmed at surgery. Gray-scale and color Doppler sonographic examinations were performed to evaluate the size, echo pattern, and blood flow of the mass. Sonography of the pelvis and contralateral groin was also performed. RESULTS: In all seven cases, sonography revealed an oval-shaped complex mass 15-25 mm in maximal diameter and composed of heterogeneous hypoechoic portions and one to seven small internal cysts, each 2-9 mm in diameter. Blood flow was observed in all cases, though was subtly decreased in one. In two there was associated herniation of the salpinx, and in two others, incarceration. In four, contralateral inguinal hernia was present. CONCLUSION: Sonographic findings of an oval-shaped heterogeneous hypoechoic mass with internal small cysts, present in the groin, indicate inguinal herniation of the ovary.

CT scans of 23 patients with gallbladder carcinoma were retropectively reviewed to determine the incidence of lymphatic spread and to access the pattern of regional lymph node metastases. The lymphatic spread were noted in 74%(17/23). The involved patterns of regional lymph node metastases were nodes of porta hepatis 65%, portocaval nodes 41%, superior pancreaticoduodenal nodes 47%, posterior pancreaticoduodenal nodes 59%, nodes around the celiac trunk 35%, nodes around the superior mesenteric artery 29% and paraaortic nodes 35%. The findings suggested that the pattern of regional lumph node metastases in gallbladder carcinoma occurred along the normal lymphatic pathway of the gallbladder.
