"Paraffinoma" is a well-recognized complication of paraffin oil injection into various body parts for an aesthetic purpose. After a variable latency phase, paraffinoma can present as a wide range of clinical symptoms. This paper is a case report of surgical excision of the paraffinoma and subsequent reconstruction of the associated skin defect on bilateral preauricular cheeks, manifesting 50 years after a primary injection.

Vascular anomalies are disorders of the endothelium and surrounding cells that can affect the vasculature and involve any anatomical structure. The most common problem associated with vascular anomalies is psychological distress related to disfigurement as well as functional defects, as many lesions affect the head and neck. This article provides an overview of the current clinical features that distinguish the major types of vascular anomalies that affect the head and neck.

Surgical anatomy is an important and fundamental aspect for all surgical procedures. Anatomy provides a surgeon with the basic and in-depth knowledge that is required and mandatory when performing an operation. Although this subject might be tedious and routine, it is compulsory and should not be overlooked or neglected to avoid any possible postoperative complications. An aggressive and hasty operation without anatomic considerations might cause adverse effects that are irreversible even though a surgical anatomy of the nose is quite simple.

The bulging of mandibular angle area, frequently, make some difficulties in social life due to its reckless appearence, especially in oriental nations. So, many authors had reported its causes and surgical techniques for correction since late 19th century with diagnosis of masseter hypertrophy. But in spite of its muscular origin, major surgical techniques, in general, should aim complete bony reduction or osteotomy and supplemental myotomy as in hemimandibular hypertrophy or mandibular elongation. We used ultrasonogram for soft tissue depth estimation and expearenced some complications such as incomplete lingual cortical bony reduction, condylar fracture in mandibular angle reduction via intraoral circumvestibular approach. So we reported our surgical technique for angle reduction with possible complications.

The case series is a descriptive study that follows a group of patients who have a similar diagnosis or who are undergoing the same procedure and is the most prevalent type of research in the field of plastic surgery. Results of case series can generate hypotheses that are useful in designing further studies, including randomized controlled trials or a prospective cohort study. However, no causal inferences should be made from case series regarding the efficacy of the investigated treatment. The authors provide a guide to the design and report on the case series.

의료계에서는 사실 보이지 않게 영역문제로 갈등을 겪고 있으며 치과에서는 특히 메디컬적 성격이 강한 구강악안면외과가 성형외과나 이비인후과와 영역갈등을 겪고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이에 구강악안면외과를 중심으로 타의과와의 영역문제와 대책에 대해서 살펴본다.

중안면부의 골절은 심미적으로나 기능적으로 많은 문제를 야기할 뿐아니라 두개부와 연관되어 뇌손상의 가능성을 가지므로 생명과 직접적인 연관을 갖는다고 할수 있다. 산업사회의 고도의 발달로 인하여 자동차의 보급이 증가하고 그에 따라 교통사고의 절대수가 증가하고 안면부 골절환자가 증가추세에 있다고 볼 수 있다. 때문에 구강악안면외과의사로서 중안면부의 골절에 관심을 기울여야 할 것으로 생각된다. 중안면부 골절 가운데 비골을 포함한 안와 근심벽의 쉽게 일어나며 골절에 포함된 해부학적 구조물들이 복잡하기 때문에 골절후에 기능적 이상이 쉽게 발생될 수 있다. 본 과에서 처치한 중안면 골절 환자중 비골을 포함한 안와 근심벽의 골절환자를 경험한 바 이에 보고하는 바이다.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the amount and interrelationship of hard and soft tissue changes after mandibular setback osteotomy and reduction genioplasty in mandibular prognathism with long anterior facial height. The control group (Group A) consisted of 20 patients who had severe horizontal discrepancy. They experienced Presurgical orthodontic treatment and orthognathic surgery via mandibular setback. The experimental group (Group B) consisted of 20 patients who had severe horizontal and vertical discrepancy. They experienced presurgical orthodontic treatment and orthognathic surgery via mandibular setback and reduction genioplasty. The presurgical and postsurgical lateral cephalograms were evaluated. The computerized statistical analysis was tarried on with EXCEL 97 program. The results were as follows : 1. The correlation of hard and soft tissue horizontal changes in lower 2/3 of lower anterior facial height were high for both groups. The correlation coefficients of hard tissue changes and Ls, Stm, Li changes in Group B were moderately higher than Group A. 2. The correlation of hard and soft tissue vortical changes in Group B were lower than Group A. (except for pointB-Ils, Me-Me') 3. The ratio for soft tissue to Pog in Group B was lower than Group A. The ratios of hard and soft tissue vertical changes were 32% at Ils, 54% at Pog', and 60% at Me'. 4. The ratio of lower anterior facial height to total anterior facial height was reduced for both groups. But ratio of upper 1/3 of lower anterior facial height to total anterior facial height did not changed significantly in Group B. 5. Reduction genioplasty combined with mandibular setback procedure showed no change in upper one third(Sn-Stm) and significant decrease(Stm-Me') in the lower two thirds of the soft-tissue anterior lower facial height
