Epidermoid cysts can be found anywhere in the body, particularly in areas where embryonic elements fuse together. Most cases have been reported in the ovaries, the testicles, as well as the hand and feet. Epidermoid cysts in mouth are uncommon and account for less than 0.01% of all oral cysts. The treatment of choice is complete surgical excision and prognosis is excellent. The purpose of this article is to describe two cases of an epidermoid cyst in the oral cavity mucosa and a review of the literature.

성문하 협착과 기관 협착이 동반된 경우 이를 치유할 몇가지 방법이 시도되고 있으나 만족할만한 효과를 얻지는 못하고 있다. 저자들은 성문하와 기관협착이 동반된 27세 남자환자에서 기관 및 성문하 협착부 전면을 제거후 쇄골에 흉쇄유돌근(Sternocleidomastoid muscle: SCM)이 붙은채로 쇄골의 절반을 절제하여 수질부위를 제거후 협부점막을 부착하였다. 이렇게 얻어진 Vascularized clavicle을 성문하와 기관의 전면부 재건에 이용하여 좋은 결과를 얻었기에 문헌고찰과 함께 이를 보고하고자 한다.

식도게실은 식도 근육층의 결손 부위로 점막층이 감입됨으로써 발생하는 국한성 낭성 구조물로서 선천성 또는 후천성으로 발생할 수있다. 저자들은 1990넌 4월 17일 식사시 흉골 상부의 불쾌감을 주소로 중앙대학교 부속병원을 내원한 32세 여자 환자에서 식도 조영 촬영상 식도 우후방부, 윤상인두협부 하방 3㎝ 부위에서, 흔히 볼 수 있는 Zenker's diverticulum이 아닌 식도게실을 발견하여 식도게실제거술 및 근절개술 시행으로 특이한 합병증 없이 치유된 1례를 경험하였기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

신경초종은 천천히 자라는 양성종양으로 뇌신경, 말초신경, 또는 자율신경 등 신경초세포(Schwann cells)를 포함한 신경 어디에나 발생할 수 있다. 대부분의 신경초종은 무증상이며, 악성화되는 경우는 드물다. 전체 신경초종 중 약 25%에서 45%가 두경부 영역에서 발생하지만 구강 내 발생하는 경우는 거의 없는 것으로 알려져 있다. 구강 내 신경초종의 대부분은 설부에서 발생하며 그 외 발생하는 부위로 협부점막, 구개, 구강저, 잇몸, 입술 등이 있다. 본 저자들은 최근에 경구개에 발생한 신경초종 1예를 경험하였으며, 이를 관련문헌 고찰과 더불어 보고하는 바이다.

In alveolar deformity of cleft patient, the flap design is very important to make the functional and esthetic outcome. Especially in bilateral cleft alveolus with wide defect, deficiency of covering tissue is a greatest problem. Wound dehiscence may develop oronasal fistula of palatal and labial region and loss of the bone graft. We report 2 cases with bilateral cleft alveolus. In both case, bilateral buccal mucosal flap was used for closure of bilateral cleft alveolus with wide defect. The one was operated with iliac bone graft according to secondary grafting method, the other was closed without bone grafting. The patient was 3 years old. So, secondary alveolar bone graft will be required some years later for the establishment of bony continuity and esthetic advantage. In both cases, we found the entire soft tissue closure without the lack of covering flap. In these case, the closure of alveolus defect was accomplished successfully by the use of bilateral buccal mucosal flap. There was no complication, secondary fistula. The most important thing is the tension-free closure of the bilateral buccal mucosal flap. So, we report these cases with literatures.

Minor salivary gland tumors vary in their primary sites, histopathology and bilogical behavior. Therefore various factors are considered in selecting the treatment modality and predicting the prognosis. The prognosis of milignant tumors of minor salivary glands are worse than that of such lesions of major salivary glands. Authors experienced 26 cases of minor salivary gland tumors(10 benign tumors and 16 malignant tumors) during the past 7 years and analyzed their clinical characteristics. 1) The palate was the most common site of origin of minor salivary gland tumors (38.5%). 2) The most common benign tumor was pleomorphic adenoma and majority of them occur red in the palate(60.0%) and the remaining occured in the nasal cavity or the paranasal sinuses (30.0%), and the lip ( 10.0%). 3) In the case of malignant tumors the most frequent sites were the nasal cavity or the paranasal sinuses (31.3%) with the following histopathologic frequencies: adenoid cystic carcinoma(56.3%), malignant pleomorphic adenoma(12.5%), mucoepidermoid carcinoma(12.5%), polymorphic adenocarcinoma (12.5%), epthelial-myoepithelial carcinoma (6.25%). 4) Minor salivary gland tumors have high probability of malignancy and tumor extension is important to their treatment.
