We retrospectively analyzed the clinical and radiologic findings of broncho-pulmonary dysplasia.
We retrospectively studied the chest radiographs of 10 infants, who were clinically diagnosed as bronchopulmonary dysplasia from January, 1994 to December, 1995.
The underlying disease of the cases that has BPD were, there were hyaline membrane disease in 4 cases, repeating apnea in 4 cases, septicemia, peneumonia in 2 cases.
The most common radiological findings were coarse nodular & streaky densities in perihilar region(7/10),emphysematous overdistention(6/10), and other findings such as bubbly pattern (3/10), lace-like pattern with strands of density(2/10) appeared.
Premature and infants with thigh oxygen and intermittent positive pressure ventilation therapy, the chronic persistent pulmonary abnormality in chest X-ray films highly suggests the possibility of bronchopulmonar dysplasia.

Chest X-ray showed expansile bony hypertrophy on left 5th rib and bone setting of the computed tomography scan of chest revealed 4.2×2.5 cm sized, elongated bony expansion with geographic radiolucent lesion in the medullary cavity and cortical thinning. Technetium-99m bone scintigraphy showed diffusely increased radioactivity along the left 5th rib. We present this case to discuss about a possible differential diagnosis in this type of lesion.
, Sung-Ae Jung, Ki-Nam Shim, Jung-Hwa Chung, Seok-Hyung Kang, Do-Kyeung Song, Seung-Jung Jun, Hye-In Kim Until recently, colorectal polyps were classified predominantly as hyperplastic or adenomatous. While adenomatous polyps are well-characterized precursor lesions of adenocarcinomas, hyperplastic polyps have been considered as benign lesion. However, some hyperplastic polyps with serrated morphology of the crypts have been recognized to have distinctive features and these polyps were termed 'serrated adenomas'. Recent data show that sessile serrated adenomas (SSA) might be the precursors of serrated colonic cancers, underlining the necessity of identifying them. SSA is approximately 3% of all polyps, commonly appears as flat or sessile and yellowish due to mucus production. In the pathogenesis of SSA, progression to high grade dysplasia or early invasive carcinoma may be associated with serrated neoplasia pathway different from adenoma-carcinoma sequence. We report a case with a colon polyp diagnosed as sessile serrated adenoma with high grade dysplasia after endoscopic submucosal dissection.
