Background; Surgical resection remains the mainstay of treatment for esophageal cancer. Despite recent advances in surgical therapy, i.e. en bloc resection and extended lymphadenectomy, the overall long-term prognosis of patients with esophageal carcinoma has not, however, improved during the last decades. One of the major reasons in its relatively high recurrence rate. Material and Method; A retrospective review of recurrent patte군 of cancer in 42 patients who underwent curative surgery for primary esophageal cancer was performed clinically and histo-phthologically. Result; Nineteen patients had developed recurrece during the 18 to 52 months(mean 34.2 nonths), 8 had local recurrences, 1 had both, and 11 had systemic recurrences. Twelve patients(63%) had developed recurrence within 1 year, 5 patients(26%) between 1 year to 2 patients(11%) after 2 years. The recurrence rate according to growth pattern of tumor or presence of microinvasive findings was not statistically significant, but it increased significantly in clinical tumor stage III than stage IIA, B and in patients with the number of metastatic lymph node over ten. Conclusion; Post-operative recurrences of esophageal cancer appear as a high rate even though curative wide resection was done. Several clinical and histo-pathological factors correlate with the recurrence.

배경 : 고립성 섬유성 흉막 종양(SFTP)은 중피하 중간엽에서 기원한 매우 드문 종양으로, 임상 경과나 적절한 수술적 절제의 범위 및 추적 관찰 결과 등에 대해 알려진 바가 매우 제한적이다. 대상 및 방법: 9년간(1994∼2003) 양성 및 악성 고립성 섬유성 흉막 종양으로 수술적 절제를 받은 환자를 대상으로 후향적 연구를 시행하였다. 결과: 총 22명의 환자(남 14, 여 8)가 포함되었고 평균 연령은 50.2세 (25∼83세)였다. 진단 당시 증상을 나타낸 환자는 13명(59%)이었고 가장 흔한 증상은 호흡 곤란이었다. 개흉술이 14예, 비디오 흉강경을 이용한 수술이 8예에서 행해졌으며, 종괴만을 절제한 경우는 12예, 주변 구조물을 포함한 광범위 절제를 행한 경우는 10예였다 모든 경우에 완전 절제술이 가능하였으며 수술 사망은 없었다. 수술 후 병리학적 진단 결과 양성 종양이 11예, 악성 종양이 11예였다. 추적 관찰 중 국소 재발 2예, 전신 전이가 6예에서 있었으며 재발과 전이는 모두 악성에서만 발생하였다. 결론: 진단 당시 증상이 있는 환자, 광범위 절제술, 재발 등은 모두 악성형에서 유의하게 많았다. 아직까지는 수술적 완전 절제가 가장 적절한 치료로 알려져 있으나, 재발과 전이를 억제하기 위한 수술 전후 전신 치료의 방법에 대해서 더 많은 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

Background The result of illicit polymer injection is chronic inflammation with foreign-body granuloma (FBG) formation. Treatment can be divided into medical and surgical. Some patients develop severe complications with need surgical treatment. This study aims to describe patients who underwent surgical removal of the FBGs and autoimmune/inflammatory syndrome induced by adjuvants (ASIA); additionally, we evaluated the quality of life after surgery. Methods In this retrospective single-center study, the authors examined data of patients who underwent surgical removal of FBG caused by illicit polymer injection for cosmetic purposes and confirmed ASIA from 2015 to 2020 by three different surgical approaches. Descriptive summary statistics were reported on patient demographics, presenting symptoms and clinical examination features, treatment strategies, histopathology reports and quality of life. Results The cohort included 11 female patients with FBGs and ASIA. The most affected anatomical zones were the combination of gluteal region, thighs and legs (40%); and thighs with legs (20%). Main presentation was: skin hyperpigmentation (90.9%), skin induration (63.6%), chronic fatigue (63.6%), and ulcers (36.4%). Surgical modalities consisted of: ultrasonic-assisted liposuction in four patients (36.4%); open en bloc excision and primary closure in four patients (36.4%); and open en bloc excision and microsurgical reconstruction in three patients (27.2%). The postoperative quality of life visual analog scale score was 83.9. Conclusions ASIA treatment represents a challenge for the plastic surgeon. Adequate surgical treatment emphasizing, when possible, the total or near-total resection of the FBG must be performed to improve ASIA evolution.

상완 신경총에 발생하는 신경초종은 드문 질환으로 알려져 있다. 이들 중 악성 신경초종은 Schwan cell 또는 신경초 세포에서 기원한다. 빈도는 낮으나 Von Rechlinghausen's disease와 동반되기도 한다. 환자는 35세 여자로 약 10년 전 폐결핵의 과거력이 있었다. 1년 전부터 경부 종괴의 크기 증가가 있었고, 6개월 전부터 동통이 수반되었다. 종괴의 크기는 $5{\times}7cm$였다. 술 후 방사선 치료를 하였으나 2차례에 걸쳐 재발하여 흉곽 출구의 광범위 구역 절제술을 시행하였다.

저자등은 36세 남자환자에서 재발성 폐 근상피종을 경험하여 보고하는 바이다. 이 종양은 Dardick에 의한 근상피종의 형태학적 분류에 근거하여 볼때, 대ㆍ소 타액선에서 발견된 근상피종들에서 기술된 조직학적 특성과 동일한 종양이었다. 환자는 흉벽 일부를 포함한 완전 절제 수술을 시행 받았다. 종양은 비교적 잘 싸여 있었고, 광학 현미경상 주로 형질세포양 세포와 투명세포로 구성되어 있었고, 고형 성장 양식을 보이고 있었다. 면역세포화학적, 전자현미경적, 그리고 유동 세포 분석법에 의한 검사를 실시하였고, 폐 근상피종에 합당한 소견을 확인할 수 있었다.

Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation is a rare, but well-known disease. It can be managed conservatively in patients without symptoms or require surgical removal when symptomatic. The surgical option of choice is en bloc resection of the affected lesion. We report an experience of life-threatening congenital cystic adenoid malformation in a low-birth-weight (1,590 g) premature neonate who was successfully treated with a lobectomy of the lung.

We have experienced 49 cases of tumors of chest wall at St. Mary`s Hospital from Jan. 1963 to Dec.1974. In four cases of them, the reconstruction of chest wall defects performed. 1] Out of 49 cases of tumors of the chest wall, 27 cases were benign tumors, 14 cases metastatic malignant tumors, and 8 cases primary malignant tumors. 2] Twenty-six cases [50%] of tumors of the chest wall were on the bony cage. Among them benign tumors were 9 cases [35%], metastatic malignant tumors 14 cases [53%], and primary malignant tumors 3 cases [12%]. Of these, 24 cases were located on the ribs and 2 cases on the sternum.3] The malignant tumors of bony chest wall were excised in en bloc resection including involved ribs. The wide defects of bony chest wall were reconstructed by means of displacement of neighboring ribs and mobilized diaphragm, in the two osteogenic sarcomas of rib, and of prosthesis with silastic sheets in one rhabdomyosarcoma and one metastatic adenocarcinoma of lung.

To provide the wide and satisfactory surgical field is essential requirement for en-bloc resection of nasopharyngeal angiofibroma invading central skull base. The new design of the surgical approach to the skull base lesions was developed and described the details of this technique and its usefullness. We compared the usefullness of naso-maxillary approach to that of infratemporal fossa approach in cases of angiofibroma invading skull base. Our experience indicates that the naso-maxillary swing approach is better than lateral approach for the large nasopharyngeal angiofibroma. A new approach. naso-maxillary swing approach. is described.

Traditionally, the main strategy of treatment of the head and neck cancer was en bloc resection including adjacent normal tissues through wide incision. However, the procedures may leave severe functional deficit such as swallowing difficulty, aspiration, and wide neck scar. Therefore, many attempts have been made up to minimize these morbidities. Of them, the minimal invasive approach such as transoral laser microsurgery (TLM) and transoral robot surgery (TORS) have been spolighted as a sensible strategy for organ preservation of the head and neck cancer patients. Results of TLM are equivalent to those obtained by conventional surgery, with considerably less morbidity, less hospital time and better postoperative function. Oncologic results of TLM are equivalent to conventional surgery. TORS are safe, feasible, and promising but oncologic safety is not yet verified. This article covers to current application of TLM and TORS, their advantages and limitations, and future direction.
