Heterotaxy Syndrome*

Primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the lung is rare among extranodal lymphomas. The most common form is low grade B-cell type originated from the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) of the lung and primary peripheral T cell lymphoma of the lung is extremely rare. We recently experienced a case of fine needle aspiration cytology of primary peripheral T cell lymphoma of the lung in a 39-year-old male patient. The cytologic smears revealed some sheets of reactive epithelial cells, epithelioid histiocytes, and numerous polymorphous population of lymphoid cells composed of small and intermediate sized lymphoid cells and mature lymphocytes. Lymphoid cells were slightly larger than normal mature lymphocytes and showed significant irregularity of nuclear membrane. The internal nuclear structure was marked by chromatin clumping, clear parachromatin areas, and inconspicuous nucleoli. Histopathologically, atypical small lymphocytes infiltrated in the interstitium and alveolar sac. By the immunohistochemical study and molecular biologic study of gene rearrangement, the T cell clonality of atypical lymphoid cells was confirmed. Key words: Peripheral T cell lymphoma, Lung, FNAC

From January to December 1984, 191 patients with associated ventricular septal defect(VSD) were studied in the cardiac cathetherization laboratory. Among theses 191 cases, 58 cases(30.4%) of subpulmonic VSD were identified by angiocardiography. Among the 59 cases of subpulmonic VSD, 12 cases(20.6%) were complicated with aortic infficiency(AI). The relative frequency of subpulmonic VSD increased with the increase of age and the frequency of complication of AI with the subpulmonic VSD also increased with the increase of age. The amount of left to right shunt in the patients with subpulmonic VSD and AI was small and Qp/Qs ratio was less than 2.0 in all of the 12 cases. Among the 12 patients 4 cases had a pressure gradient greater than 20 mmHg across the infundibular region of the right ventricle.

We reviewed the clinical and hemodynamic studies in 10 patients with the isolated congenital mitral insufficiency. The patients ranged in age from 6 months to 16 years at the time of diagnosis and the incidence was 0.26% among the total congenital heart disease proven by cardiac catheterization and angiography. In two cases anterior mitral cleft was demonstrated by 2-D echocardiography and/or operation. In two cases left coronary artery was originated from pulmonary artery. Eight cases out of ten presented symptoms indicating varying degrees of left ventricular failure. Apical systolic murmur was heard in all except one, who had only triple rhythm. The electrocardiograms revealed left ventricular hypertrophy in 8 cases and biventricular hypertrophy in 2 cases. Roentgenographically left atrial enlargement was observed in 4 cases. Left arterial and ventricular dimension were increased in 7 cases by echocardiography. In 5 cases of them, pulmonary artery wedge pressure or left atrial pressure was increased. One patient died in congestive heart failure at the age of 10 months and one patient died postoperatively. Other 4 patients have been managed with medication without difficulty.
