Giant cell tumor (GCT) of the spine is a rare benign tumor, but can be aggressive and can exhibit a high local recurrence rate. Furthermore, GCT of the upper thoracic spine may pose diagnostic and management difficulties. Here, we report a rare case of GCT of the upper thoracic spine with soft tissue extension to the spinal canal. The patient was managed by decompressive laminectomy and posterolateral fusion followed by an injection of polymethylmethacrylate into the vertebral lesion. The patient recovered clinically and showed radiological improvement after surgical treatment without tumor recurrence at his last follow-up of postoperative 7 years. We present this unusual case of GCT and include a review of the literature.

Angioleiomyoma is a benign soft tissue tumor originating from vascular smooth muscle. We report a case of a 20-year-old student who presented with pain in the right shoulder of 4 years duration. Shoulder movements were pain-free throughout the range of motion except resisted external rotation. Magnetic resonance imaging visualized a well-circumscribed lesion over the infraspinatus tendon. The lesion was surgically removed and sent for histopathological analysis. Morphology and immunohistochemistry results were suggestive of angioleiomyoma. The most common location for such a lesion is the lower limb, with less than 1% being reported in the upper arm, of which an angioleiomyoma of the shoulder is extremely rare.

The incidence of chest wall tumor is rare than those of other portions of the body. The chest wall tumors need special attention about their diagnosis and management than other tumors. From March, 1985 to September, 1994, 33 patients with chest wall tumor underwent surgical treatment, and those were consisted of 28 benign tumors and 5 malignant tumors arising from soft tissue, rib and sternum.Benign tumors were included 11 lipoma, 4 cysticercosis, 2 chondroma and 1 each of fibroma, dermatofibroma, osteochondroma, fibrous dysplasia and hemangioma,and 6 other cases. Malignant chest wall tumors were included 2 metastatic carcinoma,1 each of giant cell tumor, chondrosarcoma and epithelioid sarcoma.Sex ratio of male to female was 1.5:1, and the range of age was 16 to 72 years,and the mean age was about 40 years. Clinical manifestations of chest wall tumor were palpable mass[55% , pain[21% ,tender mass[9% , growing mass[9% and asymptomatic[9% .The all cases were treated surgically, the results were as follows:Local excision 16 cases, wide resection 12 cases, wide resection with chemotherapy 3 cases, each one case of wide resection with radiotherapy and wide resection with chest wall reconstruction.

40세 여자가 앞가슴에 발생한 종양을 주소로 내원하였다. 종양은 흉벽에 생긴 결절성근막염으로 진단되었다. 결절성근막염은 섬유모세포의 증식을 특징으로 하는 드문 양성 연부조직 종양으로, 외과적 절제가 가장 효과적인 치료이다. 외과적 절제 후 저자들은 결절성근막염을 치험하였기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 이를 보고하는 바이다.

1962년, Keck에 의해 족근관 증후군이 발표된 이후로 족근관 증후군은 많이 보고되어지는 신경포착증후군 중 하나다. 족근관 증후군의 원인은 대부분 알려지지 않고 있지만, 양성종양이 그 원인이 될 수 있다. 저자들은 족근관 증후군을 주소로 외래방문한 32세 여자의 신경초종과 39세 남자의 결절종의 수술적 치료를 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Myxomas can be divided into two groups: those derived from the facial skeleton, and those derived from external skeletal soft tissue. Soft tissue myxomas of the head and neck are uncommon, with fewer than 50 cases reported. In any form and location, myxoma of parotid gland is rare. We report a case of myxoma arising from the left superficial lobe of the parotid gland with good long-term follow-up after superficial parotidectomy with tumor excision. A 49-year-old man was referred to our department of plastic and reconstructive surgery with a painless palpable mass that had persisted in the left mandible angle region for 2 years. Excision of the facial mass and superficial parotidectomy with facial nerve preservation were performed. The biopsy result was myxoma. Long-term follow-up for 22 months showed favorable results without evidence of recurrence but with temporary facial nerve weakness right after the surgery. Myxoma should be considered as a differential diagnosis when benign tumor of the parotid gland is being considered.

Focal myositis is a benign inflammatory pseudotumor of a skeletal muscle that clinically mimics a tumor of soft tissue, but the cause of which is obscure. I report here a case of multifocal recurrent nonpainful myositis found in a 68-year-old man who showed a subacute multifocal recurrent nonpainful inflammatory myopathy affecting discrete muscle groups with spontaneous remission and/or some medication.

Myofibroma is a benign tumor composed of fibroblasts and myofibroblasts, occasionally occurring most commonly as a solitary lesion of soft tissue, skin, or bone in children younger than 3 years of age. Solitary lesion of myofibroma is exceedingly rare in adult jaws. This report describes a rare case of myofibroma in the mandible that occurred in a 41-year-old Korean woman.

Neurilemmoma is a benign tumor of the nerve sheath that arises on cranial and spinal nerve roots as well as along the course of peripheral nerves. A case of a neurilemmoma that arose in the left infratemporal fossa of a 29-year-old male was presented. Plain radiographs, enhanced computed tomography scan, and magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a large, well-circumscribed, heterogeneously enhanced mass with extension into the pterygopalatine fossa. Displaced by the large mass, bowing-in of the posterior maxillary antral wall was noted and a provisional diagnosis of a benign soft tissue tumor was made. The mass was completely excised and a diagnosis of neurilemmoma was confirmed.
