Non-odontogenic tumors can be classified as malignant or benign. Most oral tumors in children are benign. In the Belfast series only 7.5 percent of soft tissue tumors were malignant and Bhaskar(l963) found only 9 percent of 293 oral tumors of all kinds to be malignant. Benign tumors may be classified as epithelial and mesenchymal. The most common tumor of surface epithelium is the squamous papilloma. These are easily recognized clinically as cauliflower-like lesions. Fibrous lesions are very common in children's mouths. Many of these are not true neoplasms but are related to fibrous hyperplasia. Another common oral tumor in children is angiomatous tumors. Hemangioma occurred more frequently than lymphangioma. Cystic hygroma, a cystic subtype of lymphangioma, is a developmental tumor of lymphatic origin. It is a considered to be a relatively rare lesion. About 50 percent of cystic hygroma are present at birth, and most of the remaining 50 percent appear in the early years of life during the period of active lymphatic growth. The preferred treatment for these lesions, except for hemangioma, is complete surgical excision. With proper surgical techniques, recurrence is not expected.

A 10-year-old female patient presented with a rapidly growing nodular mass lesion on her right frontal area. On skull radiography and computed tomography (CT) imaging, this mass had a well-demarcated punch-out lesion with a transdiploic, exophytic soft tissue mass nodule on the frontal scalp. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging revealed the presence of a $1.5{\times}1.2{\times}1$ cm sized calvarial lesion. This lesion was hypointense on T1 and heterogenous hyperintense on T2 weighted MR images, and exhibited heterogeneous enhancement of the soft tissue filling the punch-out lesion after intravenous administration of gadolinium. En block removal of the tumor with resection of the rim of the normal bone was performed. The pathological diagnosis was intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH). After surgery, no recurrence was found for 8 months. IPEH is a rare and benign reactive lesion usually found in thrombosed subcutaneous blood vessels. Involvement of skull bone is rare. In this article, we present a case of IPEH involving the calvarium, in a 10-year-old woman.

The aim of surgery for all parotid masses is directed toward total removal of the tumor with adequate safe margins of adjacent normal tissue and preservation of the facial nerve whenever possible. Reconstructive procedures following parotidectomy for benign or low grade malignant lesions are most commonly necessary if soft tissue deficits appear at the angle of the mandible below the earlobe as a major cosmetic deformity. This is a report of Z4 cases with a diagnosis of parotid tumor who were treated using various surgical procedures at Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Hanyang University Hospital over the period of 4 years from January, 1983 to December, 1986. Among 24 cases, 11 cases were reconstructed by Sternocleidomastoid muscle flap at the same time that extirpative surgery is outlined. The advantage of Sternocleidomastoid muscle flap is the coverage of the facial nerve, so adhesion between the facial nerve and skin was prevented. Absorption and loss of bulk was not found such as dermofat graft. It was a simple method. Neither donor site defect nor sternocleidomastoid muscle deformity was developed. Sternocleidomastoid muscle flap have been found satisfactory in maintaining filled-out soft tissue hollows with good result cosmetically and functionally.

Tongue tumors of pediatric patients are the most common soft tissue tumor of pediatric oral and maxillofacial tumors. There are many kind of pediatric tongue lesions such as hemangioma, lymphangioma, papilloma, and cyst. Most of these lesions are benign, but malignant tumors of tongue may be occurred. Therefore, malignancy should be ruled out. Sometimes, tongue lesions are present with dyspnea, dysphagia, dysarthria, bleeding, or cosmetic problem. We experienced a case of chronic inflammatory mass on posterior 1/3 of the tongue in 4 month old female patient. Swallowing difficulty and respiratory distress symptom occurred because of tongue mass effect. The tongue mass was confirmed as granulation tissue by microscopic examination. After excision of tongue mass, she had no problem with swallowing and breathing.

저등급의 섬유점액성 육종은 매우 드문 연부 종양이다. 젊은 성인에서 발생하는 경향이 있으며, 국소 재발이나 원격 전이가 가능하다. 이들 종양 대부분은 하지 연부 조직에 발생하는 것으로 알려졌다. 조직학적으로 방추상 세포와 점액성 기질과 섬유성 기질이 혼재된 양상으로 관찰되는 것이 특징이며, 면역 조직학적 검사상 다른 양성 종양이나 악성 연부 조직과의 감별에 도움이 된다. 견갑부의 저등급의 섬유점액성 육종을 경험하였기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Glomus tumors are uncommon soft tissue tumors which usually found in a subungual lesion of hand, producing pain. This uncommon tumors have been reported in other locations, including nasal cavity, stomach, mediastinum, heart, lung, and vagina etc. Especially, it was a very rare case found in an extradigital lesion of foot. Glomus tumors should not be ruled out for an extradigital mass lesion of foot and also any other locations. Although glomus tumors are generally considered a benign lesion, it should be considered that glomus tumors have also reported as a malignant type tumor, even the diagnosis based on histologic features not clinical one.

Glomus tumors are benign tumors that account for 1% to 5% of all soft tissue tumors of the hand and are characterized by a triad of sensitivity to cold, localized tenderness and severe paroxysmal pain. Paroxysmal pain is a symptom common not only in glomus tumors but also in CRPS, and the hand is one of the commonly affected sites in patients with both glomus tumors and CRPS. Therefore, it is not easy to clinically diagnose glomus tumors superimposed on already affected region of CRPS patients. We report a case of glomus tumor concomitantly originating with CRPS at the hand.

Osseous metaplasia is defined as the formation of lamellar bone inside soft tissue structures where bone normally does not exist. It results from the transformation of non-osseous connective tissue into mature bone. This condition is rare in the oral and maxillofacial region. We report a case of osseous metaplasia of the maxilla, a rare benign tumor in an uncommon region. A 60-year-old male patient visited our clinic complaining of foreign body sensation and asymptomatic swelling on the right palatal side. However, he did not experience pain and reported no local trauma that he could remember. Intra-oral examination revealed an exophytic lesion on the right palatal portion. On computed tomography, there was a round hard-tissue mass approximately 2 cm in diameter on the right palate area. The mass was biopsied and diagnosed as an osseous metaplasia. We review the clinical, radiographic, and histologic features and common causes of osseous metaplasia and report a rare case of osseous metaplasia of the palate.

사구종은 피부와 피하 인접부위에 위치하는 피부의 온도를 조절하는 사구체에서 발생하는 혈관종의 일종으로 대개 조갑하 부위에서 발생하는 양성 종양이다. 수지 이외의 부위에서 발생하는 경우가 상대적으로 흔하나 말초 신경에서 생기는 경우는 비교적 드문 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 교실에서는 일반적으로 호발하는 부위가 아닌 상완신경총에서 발생한 사구종 1예를 경험하였기에 이에 대해 보고하고자 한다.

유상피 육종은 젊은 남자 또는 청소년에 호발하는 매우 드문 고등급의 연부조직 육종이며, 수부, 전완부, 하퇴부, 족부에 호발한다. 대부분의 경우 육종은 천천히 자라고, 진피층이나 심부의 연부조직에서 발생하며 원위사지부의 심부 연부조직에 주로 발생한다. 유상피 육종은 국소 재발이나 림프절 전이를 잘하며, 양성 또는 악성의 성질을 가지고 있어 진단에 어려움이 있다. 치료로는 광범위 절제술, 방사선 치료 및 화학요법 등이 시행되어 진다. 저자들은 드문 연부조직 육종인 유상피 육종의 례를 경험하고 이를 보고하는 바이다.
