1.Low-grade Immature Teratoma of the Ovary with Gliomatosis Peritonei: A case report.
Korean Journal of Pathology 1994;28(3):322-324
Immature teratoma accounts for less than I percent of all ovarian teratomas and occurs commonly in young individuals, the peak incidence being in the second decade. It contains a variable mixture of mature and immature tissues in which neuroectodermal elements almost always predominate. Gliomatosis peritonei, miliary implants of mature glial tissues on the peritoneum or omentum, is an infrequently reported complication of mature or immature ovarian teratomas. We describe the first case in Korea of a 12-year-old girl with an immature teratoma and numerous glial peritoneal implants.

2.A Case of Heterophyid Trematode Infection with Intestinal Obstruction.
Korean Journal of Pathology 1994;28(1):65-67
This report describes a case of ileal obstruction in a 31-year-old male with acute abdominal pain. A plain film of the abdomen showed segmental obstruction of small intestine. The patient underwent laparoscopic resection of the segment. Microscopic examination demonstrated foci of ulceration, submucosal edema, transmural inflammation, mural and neural hyperplasia and noncaseating granulomas, mimicking Crohn's disease. However, there were microabscesses predominantly composed of eosinophils. Furthermore, a section of an adult heterophyid trematode was identified in the crypt. Heterophydiasis usually causes diffuse enteritis. Therefore, this case with intestinal obstruction seems to be a rare manifestation of intestinal heterophydiasis.

5.A Case of Acute Lung Injury Caused by Inhalation of Industrial Acetic Acid.

Industrial exposure to toxic agent may produce a wide variety of respiratory damage. Acetic acid is a colorless liquid with a pungent vingar-like odor. It is a rare case that acute lung injury is caused by inhalation of acetic acid. Acetic acid is miscible with water, and may directly produce damage to mucosa of respiratory tract due to its irritant quality. The outcome of the reaction is dependent on the intensity and duration of exposure and varies from death or pulmonary edema in acute phase to resolution or bronchiolitis obliterans or bronchiectasis. We experienced a rose of acute lung injury due to accidental inhalation of acetic acid. The patient was a 31-year-old male who had developed progressive chest discomfort, chilling sense, and mild dyspnea after accidental inhalation of acetic acid. He had severe hypoxemia and chest radiograph showed diane bilateral alveolar edema. He responded to conservative treatment with oxygen inhalation and was discharged with improved condition on the 7th hospital day.

6.A Comparative Study on the Interlaboratory Triglyceride Determination.

Quality control survey was done on the plasma triglyceride determination of six laboratories and following results were obtained. 1) Coefficients of variation were less than 5% in 3 laboratories and over 10% in one laboratory. 2) High interlaboratory variation was inferred from the mean values ranging from 104.0~136. 4mg% (sample A) with enzyme method and 44.7~65.3 (Sample B) with acetylaceton method. 3) Establishment of normal plasma triglyceride level in Koreans and supervised quality control by the authority seemed to be urgent.

Chromomycosis is a chronic localized infection of the cutaneous and subcutaneous tissues and characterized by verrucoid, ulcerated and crusted lesions with sclerotic margins. It histologically show confluent granulomatous nodules containing large giant cells of the foreign body type. The organisms are differ from other yeastform fungi by the characteristic chestnut-brown color and by the septate division. A case of 51 year old woman with chromomycosis at submental area is presented.

8.Posterior sagittal anorectoplasty, Secondary procedure, Anorectal malformation.

Eleven patients underwent posterior sagittal anorectoplasty(PSARP) as a secondary procedure. Two of them had rectovaginal fistula and another two had rectocutaneous fistula. Six of the rest complained of frequent fecal soiling and the last one had severe anorectal stricture after perineal anoplasty. Five patients had lived with colostomy until the second operations were carried out. The ages at the time of the secondary PSARP were between 7 months and 29 years. Distal colostogram and MRI were taken to evaluate distal colon, position of the rectum and voluntary muscle. All patients had normal sacrum except one who had anorectal stricture. Seven patients, six with fecal incontinence and the other one with rectovaginal fistula had mislocated anorectums. Three patients, two with rectocutaneous fistula, the other one with anorectal stricture, had abdominal approach to obtain enough length of colon for pull-through procedure. With the posterior midsagittal approach, we could manage all the problems, rectovaginal fistulas, rectocutaneous fistulas, strictures and malpositioned rectums, without difficulty. No patients had serious complications except wound infection in one. All patients were satisfied with the results after redo-PSARPs even though normal continence has been achieved in only one patient. Seven patients who had continuous soiling or rectocutaneous fistula, needed no more diapers even though four of them showed fecal staining under stressful condition and the other three showed intermittent fecal leaking less than once a day. The rest three of the patients maintained their continence with support of drugs and/or enemas because of constipation. The PSARP is a popular procedure as a primary operation; however, our results suggested that this procedure also gave us a good opportunity for management of serious complication developed after primary anoplasties.

Journal of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons 1999;26(5):957-960
The dual muscle flap (Latissimus dorsi+ Serratus anterior muscle) based on the thoraco-dorsal vascular system for limb reconstruction has been infrequently reported. We have used this flap as a free flap for limb reconstruction in four patients (3 cases in lower linb, 1 in upper limb). A Latissmusi dorsi muscle or musculocutaneous flap and Serratus anterior muscle flap were used and all cases healed satisfactorily. The indications for this flap are to resurface two separate defects simultaneously or to resurface very large defects. It has the advantage of requiring anastomosis of one vascular pedicle only. This flap is particularly suitable for resurfacing defects wider than their length, in relation to the long axis of the limb.
