Lateral eyebrow mass with primary skull lesion are rare in pediatric population. Although epidermoid cyst and dermoid cyst are the most commonly encountered skull lesions in pediatric population, Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is rarely reported. We report a case of LCH arising from the lateral eyebrow with osteolytic lesion involving the frontal bone. A 5-year-old boy was presented with a hard, fixed mass in his lateral eyebrow. Contrast magnetic resonance imaging revealed inhomogeneous enhancement of the mass with direct invasion of the frontal bone and adjacent dura mater. Under general anesthesia, linear incision at the lateral eyebrow region was made. Intraoperative evaluation revealed hard, fixed and well-defined soft tissue mass. The final extirpated mass was $2.5{\times}2.4cm$ in size, and was accompanied by a $1{\times}1cm$ sized defect on the frontal bone with intact dura mater. The surgical wound was closed primarily by a layer-by-layer fashion. Histologic examination was later performed for definite diagnosis. The histologic examination revealed abnormal proliferation of Langerhans cell with granuloma formation. Radionuclide bone scan and positron emission tomography was taken and revealed free of multi-organ involvement. At 3 months after surgery, natural looking contour at the lateral eyebrow region was observed with no tumor recurrence. Differential diagnosis of the hard and fixed mass at the lateral eyebrow region affecting the primary skull lesion from pediatric population includes epidermoid cyst, dermoid cyst and LCH. Generally, brief physical examination with plain X-ray view can be performed for clinical evaluation, but for a definite diagnosis, contrast MRI may be helpful.

Splenic cysts are uncommon and classified as either primary(true) or secondary(pseudo-) depending on the presence or absence of a true epithelial lining. True cysts (epidermoid cyst) of the spleen are very rare. Three cases of splenic cysts in childhood were treated at the Yeungnam University Hospital in the last eleven years(1989-1999). Two of patients were girls. The ages at diagnosis were 7, 12 and 15 years. Abdominal ultrasonography and computerized tomography were utilized for the diagnosis. Radionuclide scanning was performed in one patient. Surgical resection(one partial splenectomy and two total splenectomies) was performed. The sizes of cysts were 4, 6.5 and gem in maximum demension.

Epidermal cysts in mouth floor are rare. There could be confusions in diagnosis due to location and low incidence. For diagnosis, imaging study and cytology are necessary. The treatment of choice is complete excision intraorally or externally and the recurrence is rare. Some authors prefer sclerotherapy, but the follow up is necessary for malignant change. We report two cases of epidermoid cyst in submental area excised externally with literature review.

Background and Objectives : Based on histological findings, intracordal cysts are divided in two subtypes : retention cysts and epidermoid cysts. They are typically located in the superficial layer of the lamina propria and appeared as opaque ovoid buldging masses underlying the epithelium. They are characterized by unilateral diminished mucosal wave on stroboscopy. In this article, we report some cases of patients with an oval shaped-yellowish flat cyst. Materials and Method : At the clinic of the department of otorhinolaryngology in Gangnam Severance Hospital, with 3 female complained of hoarseness as subjects, using the stroboscopy we checked preoperative and postoperative vocal cord and operative findings. Surgery was performed under general anesthesia by the senior authors. All patients noted subjectively that their performing voice was improved. Results : During surgery, an oval shaped-yellowish flat cystic lesion was distinguished from normal epithelium. On palpation of this area with microforceps and cottons, the yellowish discharge was noted to move out from the opening of the cyst. In one case, the cyst was ruptured but remove the capsule completely. In other cases, sulcus was noted at the oppsite site. Conclusion : Because of the opening, the cyst was not easy to dissect and remove completely. After the debris was move out, fibrosis around the opening and invaginated epithelium extending into the deeper layers to the fold. The cyst was must removed carefully and completely for improvement of voice quality before evolving into a sulcus vocalis.

A radiologic study of 139 dentigerous cysts (128 patients) indicated the followings: 1. There was higher incidence in males (62.99%) than in females (37.01%). The most common age group was 11-20 years and the average age was 23.6 years. 2. The most common clinical symptoms was swelling of the jaws (49 cases, 33.09%), and no symptoms was presented in 26 cases (18.71%). 3. Dentigerous cysts were found to be slightly more common in the maxilla (53.24%) than in the mandible (46.76%) and there was almost no difference in occurance between right and left side. The maxillary supernumerary tooth was the most frequent site of the dentigerous cyst and no dentigerous cyst was found to be related to a deciduous tooth. 4. The most common radiographic findings was root resorption of the adjacent teeth (33.09%), and the central dentigerous cysts were 78 cases (56.12%), the lateral dentigerous cysts were 61 cases (43.88%). 5. The increased radiolucency at the crown portion of the tooth in a cystic cavity was seen in 44 cases (31.65%), and a case of dentigerous cyst was found in a edentulous patient, and 16 cases of multiple dentigerous cysts were found in 5 patients. 6. The ameloblastic changes in 8 cases, the keratinization of the cyst wall in 2 cases, and a case of epidermoid carcinoma were confirmed microscopically.

본 교실에서 1988년 1월부터 2007년 12월까지 시행했던 후두미세수술 4201례중 수술 후 성대낭종으로 확진된 212례를 대상으로 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1) 전체 후두미세수술 4,201례 중 성대낭종이 차지하는 비율은 212례로 5.04%였다. 2) 성대낭종 212례 중 유표피낭종은 56례(26.4%), 저류낭종이 156례(73.6%)를 차지하여 미미하지만 지속적인 저류낭종의 증가 추세를 보이고 있었다. 3) 성별분포는 212례의 성대낭종 중 여성이 135례(63.7%), 남성이 77례(36.3%)로 여성에 호발하였으며 최근에는 남녀 비율의 차이가 감소해가는 추세를 보이고 있었다. 4) 이학적 검사소견으로서 유피낭종은 술 전 이학적 검사상 56례 중 불과 33례(58.9%)에서 낭종을 의심할 수 있었고 저류낭종은 술 전 낭종을 의심할 수 있었던 경우가 156례중 70례로 44.9%에 불과해 성대낭종은 술 전 진단이 용이하지 않았다. 5) 병리조직학적 검사상 유표피낭종 내부에 PAS 음성인 케라틴과 콜레스테롤양(cholesterol-like)물질이 중층 편평상피로 구성된 막에 둘러 싸여 있는 양상을 보였고 저류낭종은 내부에 PAS 양성인 점액분비물을 포함하고 있는 원주 또는 입방세포로 구성된 막으로 이루어져 있었다. 6) 애성 발생과 관련된 유발 요인으로는 성대과용 또는 음성남용과 관련된 경우가 212례 중 80례(37.7%)로 성대과용이 주요한 유발인자로 생각된다. 7) 발병부위는 대부분 막성유리연의 중간부 및 전방부 1/3에서 발생하였고 수술 결과는 저류낭종 150례 중 54례(36.0%)에서만 낭종의 파열 없이 완전제거가 가능하였으며 유표피낭종 54례 중에서는 41례(75.9%)에서 낭종의 파열 없이 완전제거가 가능했던 것으로 나타나 저류낭종이 유표피낭종에 비해 낭종을 파열시키지 않고 완전히 제거하는 것이 더욱 어려움을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 저류낭종의 경우 낭종의 절제가 어려운 경우 수술방법으로 조대술(marsupialization)을 시행하는 것도 의미가 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Granular cell tumor (GCT) is a rare, benign neoplasm of Schwann cell origin. GCT is composed of cells with eosinophilic granular cytoplasm. GCT presents as a solitary painless nodule. Because of their subtle clinical presentation, GCTs are often misdiagnosed. This report of a 47-year-old woman with an auricular GCT serves to highlight that complete excision and histopathological evaluation should be attempted even in apparently benign cases, to ensure complete cure.

여포성 치아낭종은 치아여포와 관련되어 발생하는 낭종으로서, 매몰 혹은 미립치아의 치관부가 완전히 형성된 이후에 치관부와 퇴행성 변화를 일으킨 사기질 상피 사이에 액체가 저류되어 낭종으로 발달된 것을 말한다. 여포성 치아 낭종은 전 치성낭종의 약 20%를 차지하며, 영구치에서 잘 생긴다. 하악골에 주로 발생하며, 특히 매몰치아가 흔한 하악골색 제 3 대구치, 상악골의 견치에서 잘 볼 수가 있다. 안면부 기형이 나타날 때까지는 임상증세가 없는 것이 보통이나 종들이 커지면 안면부 기형과 함께 구개부 융기, 종물부위의 이물감, 암통 및 인접치아의 치근 흡수등을 초래하기도 한다. 드물게는 범람종, 상피암 및 점막상피암등의 합병증을 일으킬 수 있으므로 조기적출을 하는 것이 좋다. 진단방법으로는 X-선 촬영이 중요하며 이때에 치관주변부가 투명하게 나타난다. 저자들은 최근 안면부 기형 및 경구개 융기를 초래한 거대 여포성 치아남종이 있던 15세 남자 환자를 치험하였기에 문헌적 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Background and Objectives : Microsurgical resection of intracordal cysts is technically difficult and challenging because the wall of cysts may be tightly attached to underlying vocal ligament and/or overlying epithelium, and therefore their thin wall will easily rupture during surgical dissection. We aimed to evaluate the voice outcomes of standard microflap subepithelial resection and the recurrence rate depending on the intraoperative rupturing of the cyst. Materials and Methods : Medical records of Samsung Medical Center, Seoul, Korea, were reviewed for sixty-four consecutive patients who received surgical resection of vocal cyst using microflap subepithelial dissection technique between the year 2004 and 2013. Meticulous dissection was performed to completely remove the cyst wall while preserving the mucosa and the lamina propria as much as possible. Voice outcomes and recurrence rates were compared according to the type, size and the intraoperative rupture of cyst. Results : Presence or absence of cyst rupture was clearly described in the operation records of 41 patients. Intraoperative rupture of the cyst occurred in 32 of 41 (78%) patients. The recurrence was detected in 5 of 64 (7.8%) total cases and 4 of 32 (12.5%) cases of ruptured cyst, but not in 9 cases of intact extirpation. Rupture was more common in case of mucous retention cyst compared with epidermoid cyst (p=0.036). Subjective and objective voice parameters were measured at before and 3 months after surgery, which improved regardless of the cyst rupture. Conclusion : Although complete microsurgical extirpation of intracordal cyst while keeping the cyst wall intact is technically difficult, meticulous dissection with maximal preservation of surrounding tissue may warrant the improvement of voice outcomes.
