Abstract PDF: We present a case of a 44 year-old man with histiocytic sarcoma arising from the rectum. Histiocytic sarcoma is a rare type of malignant lymphoma, comprising less than 0.5% of all non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHLs). In this case, the tumor was a polypoid mass, measuring 2.5 x 2 cm. On microscopic examination, it was composed of many bizarre multinucleated cells and sheets of xanthomatous histiocytes. There were also areas with spindle cells arranged in a storiform pattern. Extensive metastases to regional lymph nodes were found, and combined adjuvant chemotherapy was administered after complete resection.

Abstract PDF: BACKGROUND
Panax ginseng is known to decrease the 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD)-induced testicular toxicity. Thus, we aimed to reveal the differences between Panax ginseng and Panax quinquefolium extract for their effects on TCDD-induced toxicity.
METHODS
Forty rats were divided into four groups; the control group, the TCDD only group, the TCDD plus Panax ginseng group, and the TCDD plus Panax quinquefolium-treated groups. Ginseng extract was given orally to rats from day one to twenty-one. TCDD was intraperitoneally administered to rats at a single dose of 50 microgram/kg on the seventh day. The pathologic changes were then examined. The changes of body weight, cholesterol and GOT in the serum were also examined.
RESULTS
The TCDD toxicity was prominent in the thymus, liver and testis. The thymus showed atrophy and an inverse pattern of lymphocyte density in the cortex and medulla. The liver revealed central necrosis with fatty changes. On electron microscopy, the seminiferous tubules showed destruction of the spermatogonia, clear spaces or vacuolar changes and degeneration in the Sertoli cells or germ cells. The above mentioned TCDD-induced changes were reduced in the rats that were administered with Panax ginseng, whereas Panax quinquefolium did not reduce these changes.
CONCLUSION
The protective effects of Panax ginseng on the TCDD-induced toxicity were more effective than those of Panax quinquefolium.

Usefulness of Galectin-3, Cytokeratin 19, p53, and Ki-67 for the Differential Diagnosis of Thyroid Tumors.: Moon Il Park, Dae Young Kang; Korean J Pathol. 2006;40(2):86-92.

Abstract PDF: BACKGROUND
The expressions of galectin-3, cytokeratin 19, p53, and Ki-67 in papillary carcinoma (PC), follicular carcinoma (FC), follicular adenoma (FA), and nodular hyperplasia (NH) are characteristic for the differential diagnosis between benign and malignant thyroid tumors.
METHODS
The expressions of the four markers were evaluated in PC (n=37), FC (n=12), FA (n=22), and NH (n=23) by immunohistochemical staining.
RESULTS
Statistical analyses revealed that galectin-3 was significantly expressed in the malignant tumor cells of PC and FC, while CK19 was expressed only in PC.
CONCLUSION
These results show that galectin-3 is useful in differential diagnosis between malignant and benign thyroid lesions, especially between FC and FA in the patients over 20 years old, and indicate that CK19 is valuable in differentiating between follicular variant of PC and FC and between PC and papillary area of nodular hyperplasia.

Abstract PDF: BACKGROUND
Although the genetic determinants of most sporadic breast cancers remain unknown, the understanding of the molecular and genetic events that contribute to breast carcinogenesis has been significantly advanced. We investigated the clinicopathologic significance of allelic imbalance or mutation of both p53 and PTEN tumor suppressor genes in sporadic breast carcinomas.
METHODS
Genomic DNA from 62 breast carcinoma cases was extracted from paraffin blocks, and PCR was performed to determine loss of heterozygosity (LOH) for DNA markers around the p53 and PTEN genes and to amplify exons 5, 6, 7, and 8 of p53 and all 9 coding axons of PTEN.
RESULTS
Somatic p53 mutations were detected in 6 (9.7%) of the 62 cases. LOH for DNA markers surrounding p53 was observed in 18 (29.0%) of the 62 cases. LOH for DNA markers surrounding PTEN was detected in 29 (46.8%) of the 62 cases. Only one case (1.6%) showed somatic PTEN mutations. Tumors with LOH on 17p or p53 mutation were large in size and negative for ER, had a high Ki-67 index, and exhibited p53 immunoreactivity (p<0.05). Tumors with LOH on 10q23 were associated with c-erbB-2 positivity (p=0.018).
CONCLUSIONS
Our results indicate that LOH at 17p and/or p53 mutation is significantly associated with the aggressive pathologic parameters of breast cancer.

Abstract PDF: Paratesticular papillary serous tumors have been rarely reported, and they often resemble ovarian serous tumors of borderline malignancy. We experienced a case of papillary serous tumor in the left paratestis of a 39-year-old man. This is the second case reported in the Korean literature. The tumor, which was found incidentally during an operation for a hydrocele, was composed of papillary structures lined by cuboidal to columnar epithelial cells that displayed low cytologic atypia and frequent psammoma bodies.

Abstract PDF: Three patients with primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the uterine cervix are reported and the literature is reviewed. All the three patients in the current study presented with vaginal bleeding. They were found to have diffuse large cleaved cell lymphoma, one of which was multilobated variant with marked sclerosis. Histologically, differential diagnsis from undifferentiated small cell carcinoma, endometrial stromal sarcoma & other sarcomas was difficult and requires special stains including immunobistochemical study. Vaginal pap smears were diagnosed as 'class V; malignant lymphoma' in only one patient. Immunologically, two cases were beta-cell lineage and one case was T-cell lineage. All the patients were treated with chemotherapy only and showed good responses.
