Lipomas are the most common benign mesenchymal tumors composed of mature adipocytes. They are usually slow-growing, soft and asymptomatic masses. Angiolipomas are rare benign soft tissue tumors that are distinguished from common lipomas by a marked degree of vascularization. The diagnosis and prognosis of angiolipomas are based entirely on the findings of histological evaluations. Angiolipoma, showing characteristics of both lipoma and hemangioma, usually develop in the trunk and extremities, and rarely arise in the head and neck region. Angiolipoma of the cheek is very rare. This report presents the clinical and histopathological features of infiltrating angiolipoma excised from the cheek.

Differential diagnosis of the malignant lesion and the benign lesion is critically important for the precise treatment. A clinician should diagnose in a comprehensive manner considering clinical, radiological, and histopathological perspectives. The lesion in the oral cavity in this study was clinically and radiologically malignant. However, the lesion was histopathologically benign. Surgical intervention was not performed except biopsy. The lesion improved after about one month of supportive medication after the biopsy. The importance of decision making process was emphasized in this report.

Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) in the mandible region is a rare malignant neoplasm. We encountered the case of a patient who had been diagnosed with deep benign fibrous histiocytoma (DBFH) prior to surgery, but the final biopsy revealed the presence of tumor tissues in the resected margin, which indicated a UPS. Therefore, radiotherapy was conducted post-operatively, but the tumor recurred approximately 3 years later and a second surgery was performed. The difference between the initial and final diagnoses was considered to be due to the characteristics of the tumor, as it involved both benign and malignant components. DBFH and UPS can occur in young women. DBFH can transform to a malignancy and UPS may also appear as a benign tumor during early biopsy. Hence, attention should be paid to diagnosis and treatment methods, and ongoing close observation is required.

Cervicofacial subcutaneous emphysema is defined as the abnormal introduction of air into the subcutaneous tissues of the head and neck. It is mainly iatrogenic and traumatic in origin. Our two case reports are also due to the same cause, but the features of the trauma and the site of the dental treatment are different from the existing reports. A 29-year-old man visited our hospital with facial swelling and pain after experiencing facial trauma in a soccer game. Another 55-year-old woman visited with similar symptoms after replacement of her maxillary anterior fixed prosthesis. In the two cases presented, subcutaneous emphysema was gradually treated with no complications during antibiotic prophylaxis and supportive care. In this paper, we report two cases of traumatic and iatrogenic subcutaneous emphysema and their diagnoses, etiologies, complications, and treatments based on a literature review.

악안면외과 교정술은 악골, 안면 혹은 구강에 어떤 기형증에 있을때 이를 외과적 처치에 의하여 개선하거나 치료하는 것을 말한다. 악안면, 구강영역에 발생하는 기형증은 여러가지가 있으나 대체로 비대칭성안모, 악골의 전돌증이나 후퇴증, 개교증, 토순, 구강파열 및 선천성안모발육부전증등 여러 가지가 있다. 본인은 지난 83년 2월부터 5월 초순까지 스위스 쥬리히 치대 악안면외과 교실을 방문하여 이곳 교수들과 접하고 의견을 나누었으며, 강연도 듣고, 하여 주기도 하였다. 또한 이곳 병원에서 외과적안모교정술 등 여러 가지 새로운 시술방법등을 견학하면서 새로운 시술방법을 연구한 바 있다. 지면과 시간이 허락되는 범위안에서 앞으로 수회에 나누어서 악안면외과 교정술에 대하여 구체적으로 소개하고저 한다.

사회가 복잡다단 하여짐에 따라 스트레스의 증가는 각종 정신신체질환의 발현빈도를 증가시켜 악구강 영역에서도 악관절 동통을 포함한 광범위한 악안면 동통을 유발하고 있다. 악안면 동통 환자의 치료시에는 수술과 같은 비가역적(관혈적) 치료방법을 선택하기에 앞서 환자에 손상이 적고 경제적 부담도 적은 가역적(보존적)치료 방법을 우선 선택하여야겠다. 이에 본 악안면 동통 진료실에 방법 및 그 증례에 대해 소개하고자 한다.
