Although epidural fibrosis after laminectomy is considered to be the cause of pain in a number of patients, the exact relationship of postoperative scar tissue and symptoms remains controversial. However it is generally accepted that epidural fibrosis after surgical decompression of neural tissue has to be avoided. To diminish the likelihooa that such a scar will form, fat grafts have been used to create an interpositional membrane. Compression of a nerve after the use of a fat graft is rare; postoperative cauda equina syndrome, resulting from compression by a grafted fat. We report the case of a patient who had this complication.

A Histologic finding of the Cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita( CMTC) is non-specific, but dilated capillaries and increased number of vessels are often observed. Capillary hemangioma, mostly represented by strawberry nevus, may show various clinical manifestations. We report a case of Cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita, which may be an unusual clinical presentation of capillary hemangioma.

Authors experienced a 59-year-old male patient with the lymphoma of the small iritestine which involved the adjoining mesenteric lymph nodes, the parietaI pleura, and the skin. The skin lesions, simulating necrotizing angiitis, were deep purple colored, asymptomatic, tense, hemorrhagic bullae with soft consistency on the both thighs and left infraorbital area. He had extranodal type, and diffuse, poorly differentiated lymphocytic lymphoma by the Rappaport classification, and stage IV by the Ann Arbor staging classification. After about 50 days of clinical manifestations, he was died mainly due to massive intestinal bleeding.

46 knees with injured meniscus diagnosed by the use of history and physical examination as well as by arthrography were meniscectomized from January in 1974 to June in 1978. Statistical analysis of data obtained from the histories, physical examinations and arthrographic studies of 46 knees with a mean follow up 6 months after meniscectomy revealed as follows. 1. Lateral meniscus injuries were higher incidence than medial meniscus. 2. In the posterior horn of the medial meniscus and in the middle third of the lateral meniscus on the injured location were more frequently encountered. 3. To compare the results of twe methods of diagnosis were obtained with 67% accuracy by the use of history and physical examination and with 85% accuracy by arthrography 4. We should be able to diagnosis with 91% armed with a history and physical examination and an arthrogram. 5. As being the excellent results after meniscectomy were classified with 78%.

The minor fissure is an important anatomical landmark in the localization of the pulmonary diseases. For the evaluation of the normal feature of the minor fissure, we analyzed the high-resolution computed tomography (CT) scans in 51 normal patients. The purposes of this study are to evaluate the normal appearance of the minor fissure on high-resolution CT scans and to compare it with that on the coventional CT and chest radiographs. We analysed the morphologic feature of the minor fissure on the high-resolution CT scans in 51 normal patients, and compared it with that on the conventional CT scans. On the high-resolution CT scans, we particularly paid attention to the completeness and types according to Berkmen classification. And finally, we compared the types determined by the high-resolution CT scans with those by the plain radiographs. In most patients (n=47), the minor fissure was seen as a hyperattenuating line or hand on the high-resolution CT scans. In contrast, it was mostly seen as a lucent zone on the conventional CT scans (n=44). Of 47 patients having a hyperattenuating line or band on the high resolution CT scans, the minor fissure was considered to be complete in 17 patients (36%), and incomplete in 30 patients (64%), who had defect at medial portion of the minor fissure. The most common type of the minor fissure seen on the high-resolution CT scans was type I variety (n=23), followed by type IIa (n=10) and type II (n=8). We could not determine the type in six patients. The type determined by the high resolution CT scans was highly well correlated with that determined by the plain radiographs (p<0.05). In conclusion, the minor fissure was seen on CT studies as variable appearances and high-resolution CT scans were superior to the conventional CT scans in the evaluation of the minor fissure. The type of the minor fissure determined by the high-resolution CT scans were well correlated with those seen on the radiographs.

Epithelioid cell histiocytoma (ECH), also known as epithelioid fibrous histiocytoma, is a rare variant of dermatofibroma, which can mimic melanocytic, vascular, epithelial, or other histiocytic lesions. Although the histogenesis of this condition remains unclear, a recent investigation suggested the possibility that ECH was an angioformative fibrous histiocytoma. There have been no reports of ECH in the Korean literature. Herein, we report a case of ECH in 45-year old man.
