A case of Burkitt lymphoma diagnosed through fine needle aspiration cytology is described, A 66-year-old man presented with lymphadenopathy on the right cervical neck and axillary area. An ultrasonogram and CT scan for the cervical neck showed a multiple variable sized lymphadenopathy with pericapsular invasion and necrotic foci, Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of the cervical lymph nodes revealed very cellular and necrotic smears consisting of diffusely scattered intermediate monotonous round cells, tingible body macrophages and many mitotic figures. Histological features of the excised lymph nodes showed the classic morphological features of Burkitt lymphoma. Recognition of the characteristic cytological features can suggest the possibility of Burkitt lymphoma.

Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is an easy convenient non-invasive method in the diagnosis of superficial palpable masses. The cytologic findings by FNAC of reactive and neoplastic lesions in various organs including breast, lymph node, thyroid, salivary gland, etc., have been described, but, those of soft tissue lesions including proliferative fasciitis are relatively rare to find. We recently experienced a case of FNAC of proliferative fasciitis in the left back of a 72-year-old male. The FNAC smears were scant in cellularity and contained large cells with abundant basophilic cytoplasm, one to two nuclei lying at the periphery, and prominent nucleoli that resemble ganglion cells.

연구배경: 폐암은 진단 당시에 완치할 수 있는 확률이 적어 예후가 불량한 종양으로 알려져 있어, 폐암 진행을 예측할 수 있는 암 표지자(tumor marker)의 발굴이 필요한 실정이다. 그러나 폐암에서 아직까지 특이적인 항원이 없고 현재까지 알려진 많은 종양관련 항원들의 민감도가 떨어지기 때문에 보편화되지 못하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 원발성 폐암 환자에서 혈장 G-CSF를 측정하고 암의 진행 및 예후와 관련이 있는지 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 원발성 폐암으로 진단된 100명 환자와 건강 검진에서 이상 소견이 없는 127명 정상인을 대상으로 하였다. 결과: 정상인에서 혈장 G-CSF 농도는 12.2±3.6 pg/mL (mean±SD), 폐암환자에서는 46.0±38.0 pg/mL였다(p<0.001). 비소세포폐암에서 G-CSF 농도는 유의하게 소세포폐암보다 높았으며(p<0.05), 비소세포 폐암중 대세포 폐암이 가장 높았고, 편평세포암, 선암, 세기관지폐포암 순이었다. G-CSF 농도는 국소형보다는 진행형 비소세포폐암에서 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 또한 타 장기로의 전이가 있을 때 유의하게 증가하였으며(p<0.05), 다발성 전이에서는 뇌, 부신, 골 전이 순으로 혈청 G-CSF 농도가 증가하는 경향이었다. 결론: 혈장 G-CSF 농도는 폐암이 진행한 경우, 특히 타 장기로의 전이가 있을 때 유의하게 증가하였다. 그러므로 진행형 폐암의 추적관찰에 이용할 수 있으리라 사료된다. Background: Biomarkers for cancer have several potential clinical uses, including the following: early cancer detection, monitoring for recurrence prognostication, and risk stratification. However, no biomarker has been shown to have adequate sensitivity and specificity. Many investigators have tried to validate biomarkers for the early detection and recurrence of lung cancer. To evaluate plasma G-CSF as such a biomarker, protein levels were measured and were found to correlate with the clinicopathological features of primary lung tumors. Methods: Between December 2006 and May 2008, 100 patients with histologically-validated primary lung cancer were enrolled into this study. To serve as controls, 127 healthy volunteers were enrolled into this study. Plasma G-CSF levels were measured in lung cancer patients using the sandwich ELISA system (R & D inc.) prior to treatment. Results: The mean plasma G-CSF levels were 12.2±0.3 pg/mL and 46.0±3.8 pg/mL (mean±SE) in the normal and in the cancer groups, respectively. In addition, plasma G-CSF levels were higher in patients with early lung cancer than in healthy volunteers (p<.001). Plasma G-CSF levels were higher in patients who were under 65 years old or smokers. Within the cancer group, plasma G-CSF levels were higher in patients with non small cell lung cancer than in patients with small cell lung cancer (p<.05). Overall, plasma G-CSF levels were shown to increase dependent upon the type of lung cancer diagnsosed. In the order from highest to lowest, the levels of plasma G-CSF tended to decrease in the following order: large cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and bronchioloalveolar carcinoma. Plasma G-CSF levels tended to be higher in patients with advanced TNM stage than in localized TNM stage (I, II<III, IV). Increased levels were also seen in patients with distant metastasis in the order of bone, adrenal gland involvement. Conclusion: Plasma G-CSF level were significantly increased in patients with lung cancer, and in especially advanced TNM stage. These results suggest that plasma G-CSF can be used to support the diagnostic process of lung cancer staging and as an indicator of metastasis.

Ganglioneuromas are a fully differentiated tumor that contains no immature elements. The majority of sanglioneuromas are diagnosed in patients older than 10 years and are most often located in the posterior mediastinum, followed by the retroperitoneum. The location of these tumors in the parapharyngeal region is extremely uncommon and there are only a few reports on the cytologic appearance of the tumor. We report a case of ganglioneuroma presenting in a parapharyngeal location in a 4 year-old boy, diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology. The smears revealed scattered large oval to polygonal cells with voluminous, granular cytoplasms. The nuclei were one to two in number and had a prominent nucleolus. Clusters of benign spindle-shaped cells were also present.

Salivary duct carcinoma is an uncommon aggressive malignant epithelial neoplasm with similarity to intraductal carcinoma of the breast. This neoplasm occurs most often in the parotid gland of middle-aged and older males. About 7% of reported tumors occured in the submandibular gland. The report of salivary duct carcinoma with calcification is rare. We report a case of salivary duct carcinoma with calcification in the submandibular gland. The patient was a 73-year-old male with a mass of the right submandibular gland for 1 year. On the fine needle aspiration cytology, the aspirate showed scant cellularity, small clusters of tumor cells, and scattered small calcifications. Nuclei of the tumor cells showed mild pleomorphism and round to oval in shape, and cytoplasm was abundant and finely granular. Nucleoli were indistinct and necrosis was not noted. There were no cribriform or papillary arrangements of tumor cells. Cytologlc findings of salivary duct carcinoma are variable depending on histologic findings, and calcifications could be an additional cytologic findings.

연구배경: LKB1 (STK11)유전자는 Peutz-Jeghers syndrome에서 생식세포 돌연변이가 있으면 소화기와 폐를 포함한 타 장기의 암 발생 위험도가 증가한다고 알려져 있으며, 또한 종양 억제 기능이 있다고도 알려지고 있다. 하지만 현재까지 폐암에서 LKB1 유전자의 생물학적 기능이 명확하게 밝혀져 있지 않아, 저자들은 폐암조직에서 LKB1 단백질 발현소실과 임상양상 및 조직병리와의 연관관계를 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 1998년 3월부터 2006년 3월까지 본원에 내원하여 원발성 폐암으로 진단받고 근치적 절제술을 시행 받은 77명의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 파라핀에 포매된 조직을 택하여 면역조직화학염색법으로 LKB1 단백질 발현을 확인하였고, 정상 기관지 상피세포 세포질에서의 단백질 발현과 비슷한 정도의 발색을 갖는 종양세포가 전체 종양에서 30% 이상인 경우를 양성으로 판정하였다. 결과: LKB1 발현 양성은 40% (31/77)였고, 남성, 흡연, 편평상피암인 경우에 LKB1 발현 음성률이 통계적으로 유의하게 높았다. 종양위치가 중앙부위일수록 LKB1 발현 음성률이 증가하는 경향이 있으며, 종양 위치가 말초 부위인 경우 흡연력이 있는 군에서 LKB1 발현 음성률이 통계적으로 유의하게 높았다. TNM 병기가 진행할수록 LKB1 발현 음성률이 증가하는 경향이 있었으며, T2 병기 이상, N 병기가 진행할수록 LKB1 발현 음성률이 높아지는 경향이 있었으나, 통계적 유의성은 보이지 않았다. 결론: 원발성 폐암환자에서 LKB1 발현소실은 성별, 흡연력, 조직병리 형태와 의미있는 상관관계를 보였으나, 예후인자로서의 의의는 찾지 못했다. 하지만 환자의 숫자가 적어 추후의 연구가 이루어져야 할 것으로 사료된다. Background: LKB1(STK11) is a serine/threonine kinase that functions as a tumor growth suppressor. The functions of LKB1 in lung cancer are not completely understood. This study evaluated the relationship between LKB1 protein expression and the clinicopathological features in lung cancer tissues. Methods: The expression of LKB1 was studied in paraffin-embedded tumor blocks, which were obtained from 77 patients who had undergone surgery at Wonkwang University Hospital. The expression of the LKB1 protein was considered positive if the staining intensity in the tumor tissue adjacent to the normal airway epithelium was>30%. Results: The LKB1 expression was positive in 31 (40%) of samples. Loss of LKB1 expression was significantly associated with being male, smoking history, and squamous cell carcinoma. In the peripheral sites, the loss of LKB1 expression was strongly associated with a smoking history. A loss of LKB1 expression was more frequently associated with progression according to TNM staging, particularly more than T2, N progression. Conclusion: There was a significant relationship between the loss of the LKB1 protein and gender, smoking history, and histological type in primary lung cancer. Although LKB1 expression was not found to be a significant prognostic factor, further studies with a larger cohort of patient`s lung cancer tissue samples will be needed to confirm this.

연구배경: 다양한 고형암에서 HO-1의 높은 발현이 알려져 있고, 그것의 항산화와 항세포고사의 역할로 인해 빠른 암종의 성장에 중요한 역할이 있음이 보고되고 있다. 대표적인 활성산소종 생성 항암제인 Cisplatin은 현재까지 폐암치료에 가장 광범위하게 사용되고 있으나, 여러 내성발생이 임상치료의 주요문제로 대두되고 있다. 저자들은 A549 폐암세포주에서 HO-1의 발현이 증가되었고 HO-1 활성억제제나 siRNA 방법을 통해 생존율의 의미 있는 감소와 세포고사가 유도됨을 보고한 바 있다. 이 연구의 목적은 A549 폐암세포주에 cisplatin 처리시 HO-1의 발현의 증가유무와 기전을 규명하고 실제 HO-1의 억제가 cisplatin에 의한 항암제 감수성을 증가시키는지를 알아보는데 있다. 방법: 비소세포폐암세포주인 A549, NCI-H23, NCI-H157, NCI-H460을 이용하였다. 세포독성은 MTT 방법으로 구하였고, HO-1, Nrf2, MAPK의 발현은 Western blotting으로 확인하였다. 또한 MAPK억제제들을 전처치한 후 cisplatin에 의해 유도된 Nrf2와 HO-1의 발현에 미치는 영향을 역시 Western blotting으로 관찰하였다. A549세포에 활성억제제인 ZnPP나 HO-1 small interfering RNA (siRNA)을 주입하여 cisplatin과의 병합요법시 생존율의 배가효과 유무를 MTT 방법으로 확인하였고, 이러한 효과가 ROS 형성과 HO-1의 발현변화와 관련되는지를 알아보기 위해 carboxy-H2DCFDA 방법과 Western blotting을 통해 각각 확인하였다. 결과: Cisplatin 처리시 다른 세포주에 비해 A549세포가 의의 있게 내성을 보였다. 10μM의 농도에서 시간 의존적으로 HO-1, Nrf2, MAPK의 발현이 증가하였고, MAPK 억제제들을 전 처치하였을 때 cisplatin에 의해 유도된 HO-1과 Nrf2의 발현이 억제됨을 확인하였다. HO-1의 활성억제제인 ZnPP와 HO-1 siRNA를 통해 HO-1 mRNA를 직접 억제하는 방법으로 cisplatin과 병합치료시 단독치료에 비해 의의 있는 생존율의 감소를 보였다. 이러한 효과는 활성산소종의 생성 증가와 HO-1의 발현억제에 의한 결과임을 확인하였다. 결론: Cisplatin 처리시 HO-1의 발현은 MAPK-Nrf2-HO-1의 경로를 통해 증가하였고, 부분적으로 치료에 대한 내성과 관련이 있었으며, ZnPP 등의 활성억제제나 siRNA를 통한 knock-down 방법으로 HO-1을 표적으로 억제하는 치료방법을 통해 cisplatin의 항암제 감수성을 증가시켰다. Background: Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is known to modulates the cellular functions, including cell proliferation and apoptosis. It is known that a high level of HO-1 expression is found in many tumors, and HO-1 plays an important role in rapid tumor growth on account of its antioxidant and antiapoptotic effects. Cisplatin is a widely used anti-cancer agent for the treatment of lung cancer. However, the development of resistance to cisplatin is a major obstacle to its use in clinical treatment. We previously demonstrated that inhibiting HO-1 expression through the transcriptional activation of Nrf2 induces apoptosis in A549 cells. The aim of this study was to determine of the inhibiting HO-1 enhance the chemosensitivity of A549 cells to cisplatin. Materials and Methods: The human lung cancer cell line, A549, was treated cisplatin, and the cell viability was measured by a MTT assay. The change in HO-1, Nrf2, and MAPK expression after the cisplatin treatment was examined by Western blotting. HO-1 inhibition was suppressed by ZnPP, which is a specific pharmacologic inhibitor of HO activity, and small interfering RNA (siRNA). Flow cytometry analysis and Western blot were performed in to determine the level of apoptosis. The level of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) generation was monitored fluoimetrically using 2`,7`-dichlorofluorescein diacetate. Results: The A549 cells showed more resistance to the cisplatin treatment than the other cell lines examined, whereas cisplatin increased the expression of HO-1 and Nrf2, as well as the phosphorylation of MAPK in a time-dependent fashion. Inhibitors of the MAPK pathway blocked the induction of HO-1 and Nrf2 by the cisplatin treatment in A549 cells. In addition, the cisplatin-treated A549 cells transfected with dither the HO-1 small interfering RNA (siRNA) or ZnPP, specific HO-1 inhibitor, showed in a more significantly decrease in viability than the cisplatin-only-treated group. The combination treatment of ZnPP and cisplatin caused in a marked increase in the ROS generation and a decrease in the HO-1 expression. Conclusion: Cisplatin increases the expression of HO-1, probably through the MAPK-Nrf2 pathway, and the inhibition of HO-1 enhances the chemosensitivity of A549 cells to cisplatin.

Most intussusceptions occur in children and no etiologic factor can be determined in most cases. In contrast, adult intussusception is rare and many cases in adults are generally related to neoplasm such as lymphoma, carcinoid tumor, malignant tumor, sarcoma, benign tumor and congenital abnormalities. Intussusception in adults that’s due to primary malignant lymphoma of the terminal ileum is a rare clinical condition. We describe here two cases of ileocolonic-type intussusception that were due to primary malignant lymphoma of the terminal ileum. The clinical, radiographic and pathologic finding are described along with a brief review of the literature.
