Skeletal cavernous hemangiomas are rare, benign tumors that may involve the supraorbital rim and orbital roof. However, such involvement is extremely rare. We report a case of skeletal cavernous hemangioma of the frontal bone involving the orbital roof and rim. En bloc excision and reconstruction, using a calvarial bone graft for the orbital roof and rim defect, was performed. It is important not only to perform total excision of skeletal cavernous hemangiomas, but to properly reconstruct the defects after the total excision since several complications can arise from an orbital roof and rim defect.

In 1940, Kasabach and Merritt first described the association of a large vascular tumor and thrombocytopenia and termed this Kasabach-Merritt(KM) syndrome. It is characterized by a rapidly enlarging vascular anomaly and consumptive coagulopathy with thrombocytopenia, prolonged prothrombin time and partial thromboplastin time, hypofibrinogenemia, and the presence of D-dimer and fibrin split product, with or without microangiopathic hemolytic anemia. This is a potentially life-threatening condition with mortality rates from 20 to 30% as a result of severe sepsis, coagulopathy, or invasion of vital organs. Treatment modalities are corticosteroids, interferon alfa-2a or 2b, chemotherapy(vincristine, cyclophosphamide, etc.), aspirin, dipyridamole, com- pression, radiation therapy, embolization of feeding vessels and surgical excision. A standard treatment regimen for KM syndrome has not been established and most reports on definitive management of these complex vascular lesions have been anecdotal, involving small numbers of patients. The authors have successfully treated a patient of KM syndrome with actively bleeding huge hemangioma by surgical excision. They present it with the review of articles.

Germinoma is the most common type of intracranial germ cell tumors (GCTs). Pineal gland and suprasellar region are the most frequent sites of central nervous system (CNS) involvement. Intracranial masses caused by Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) mimics features of CNS GCTs. LCH frequently involve spine and is the most common cause of vertebra plana in children. A 15-year-old boy presented with progressing symptoms of polydipsia, polyuria, general headache, nausea and severe back pain. Brain MRI showed brain tumor with simultaneous involvement of suprasellar region and pineal gland. An excisional biopsy of suprasellar mass was done. The pathologic assessment confirmed the diagnosis of germinoma. Patient's treatment continued accordingly. A spine MRI, done due to persistent backache, showed a vertebra plana. We reevaluated the primary diagnosis suspecting LCH. Germinoma of CNS was confirmed and a biopsy of vertebral lesion resulted in hemangioma. Thus we report a case of CNS germinoma with co-occurrence of vertebra plana. We emphasized the importance of histopathologic diagnosis of pineal/suprasellar masses and primary investigation of other CNS regions including spine for possible metastasis or comorbidities.

혈관종은 내피세포로부터 기원한 양성종양의 일종으로, 수부에서는 드물게 발생하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 62세 여자환자로 우측 2수지 요골측의 통증을 주소로 내원하였으며, 시행한 자기공명영상에서 수지신경을 압박하는 것으로 보이는 혈관종이 의심되었다. 수술을 시행하여 요골측 수지신경 및 수지혈관을 압박하고 있는 혈관종을 확인하였으며, 수지신경 및 혈관을 가능한 보존하기 위하여 미세수술을 통해 혈관종을 제거하였다. 공간점유성 병변에 의한 압박성 신경병증은 드문 일로, 정확한 진단에 어려움이 있으나, 본 증례와 같이 자기공명영상을 통한 술 전 평가와 및 미세수술을 이용한 병변 제거 및 신경 보존을 통하여 신경병성 통증을 성공적으로 호전시킬 수 있을 것으로 생각한다.

Cavernous lymphangioma is a benign tumor of lymphatic origin encountering most frequently in young children, and composed of softly fluctuated monolocular or multilocular cystic masses which developed from embryonic outpouching of the venous system. The prevailing site of this tumor Is at the anterolateral neck region particularly posterior triangle, and occasionally axillary, mesentery and spleen etc. Recently, we have experienced one case of left axillary cavernous lymphangioma, which surgically removed successfully and confirmed histopathologically. We want to report one case of left axillary large cavernous lymphangioma with a brief review of the relevant literatures.

Several physiological skin changes such as vernix caseosa, cutis marmorata, physiologic desquamation, and sebaceous hyperplasia have been described in the neonatal period. There are also clinical characteristics of skin peculiar to neonate and infancy. Skin disorders observed during neonatal and infancy period can be divided into transient skin lesions, birth marks, and other diseases. Transient skin lesions include milia, sebaceous gland hyperplasia, erythema neonatorum, transient neonatal pustular melanosis, and acne neonatorum. Nevocellular nevus, mongolian spot, vascular malformation, hemangioma, epidermal nevus, and sebaceous nevus belong to birth marks. There are several common skin diseases such as miliaria, diaper dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, and cutaneous candidiasis.

Cavernous angiomas of the cranial nerves are rarely reported. We report a case of a 33-year-old man affected by a cavernous angioma originated in the oculomotor nerve with it's palsy. Preoperative radiological findings are difficult to differentiate it from meningioma or neurinoma. Postopertive pathological report discloses it as cavernous angioma. We discuss radiological, pathological features and management of this vascular lesion of the cranial nerve.

Video thoracoscopic surgery is a new modality that gains acceptance rapidly from thoracic surgeons. We have experienced two left lower lobectomies, one left upper lobectomy & one right upper lobectomy with using video thoracoscopy for the four patients with lung parenchymal disease from July 1992 to February 1993. The post-operative courses were uneventful. The final pathologic diagnosis were sclerosing hemangioma, adenocarcinoma, bronchiectasis, leiomyoma & the post-operative courses were short. These patients needed less analgesics because postoperative pain was reduced markedly, and hospitalization was shortened due to rapid recovery. We would like to prefer video thoracoscopic lobectomy to the lobectomy through standard thoracotomy in uncomplicated patients with simple pulmonary parenchymal diseases.
