기관지내 연골종은 드문 양성 종양으로 폐 절제술 또는 내시경적 절제술로 치료가 가능하므로 다른 질환과의 감별이 중요할 것으로 생각된다. 본 종례는 2년간의 호흡곤란으로 치료를 받았으나 호전되지 않아 굴곡성 기관지 내시경, 흉부 전산화 촬영 후 기관지내 결핵 및 악성 종양 의심하에 기관지 절제술 및 단단 문합술을 시행 받고 기관지내 연골종으로 최종 진단 받은 환자로 현재 특별한 문제없이 외래 추적 관찰중이다.

방골성 지방종은 골막 주위의 지방 조직에서 발생하는 매우 드문 형태의 지방종으로 대퇴골, 요골, 경골 및 비골 등에서 호발하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 치료는 골 부착부를 포함한 지방 종괴를 절제하고 과골증을 동반시 골막의 제거를 원칙으로 한다. 저자들은 대퇴골 간부 내측에서 발병한 드문 방골성 지방종 1예에 대해서 문헌고찰과 함께 이를 보고하고자 한다.

목적: MRI가 지방종과 고분화 지방 육종을 구분할 수 있는가를 알아보고, 지방종과 고분화 지방 육종이 생기는 위치, 깊이, 크기, 환자의 성별 및 연령 등과 상관관계가 있는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 본원에서 수술한 107명의 지방 종괴 환자 중, MRI를 재검토 할 수 있었던 47명의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. MRI의 판독 결과와 수술 후 병리학적 소견을 비교하여, MRI의 감수성, 특이성, 진단율, 양성 예상치 및 음성 예상치를 계산하였으며, 종양의 위치, 깊이, 크기, 조영 증강의 유무, 환자의 나이 및 성별 등과 종양의 악성 혹은 양성 여부와의 상관관계를 비교 분석 하였다. 결과: MRI 판독 결과 28례에서 지방종으로 진단되었고, 19례에서 고분화 지방 육종의 진단 기준에 합당하거나 가능성이 있는 소견을 나타내었다. MRI에서 지방종으로 판단한 28례 중 병리 조직 판독 소견과 비교하여, 실제 지방종은 26례였으며 나머지 2례는 지방종 변종인 혈관지방종이었다. 고분화 지방 육종으로 판단한 19례 중 실제 고분화 지방 육종은 6례였으며, 나머지 13례는 지방종 변종 10례와 지방종 3례로 나타났다. 지방종 변종의 종류로는 섬유 지방종, 혈관지방종, 방추상세포 지방종, 지방아세포종과 혈관근지방종 등이 있었다. MRI 의 고분화 지방 육종에 대한 감수성은 100%, 특이성은 68%, 진단율은 72%, 양성 예상치는 31%, 음성 예상치는 100%였으며, 지방종은 각각 90%, 89%, 89%, 93%, 84%였다. 양성지방 종양 군과 고등급 지방 육종 군을 구별 할 수 있는 변수들의 상관관계 분석에서, 조영 증강 유무 와 종양의 크기가 통계적으로 유의하였다(p<0.05). 결론: MRI는 고분화 지방육종의 진단에 감수성이 강하고, 지방종의 진단에 특이성이 강한 것으로 나타났으며, 비특이적 소견을 보일 때는 지방종 변종을 염두에 두어야 할 것으로 사료된다. 지방 종괴의 크기가 10 cm 가 넘고, MRI에서 조영증강이 되는 부분이 있으면 고분화 지방 육종을 의심하여야 하고, MRI 소견이 비 특이적일 때는 지방종 변종을 생각하여야한다.

Ossified lipoma or osteolipoma are rarely reported. It is defined as a histologic variant of lipoma that has undergone osseous metaplasia. Osteolipoma presents with a dominant osseous component within a lipoma. We report a case of a histologically confirmed osteolipoma on the nuchal ligament independent of bone. The patient was a 51-year-old female who presented with a 5-year history of a painless, progressively enlarging mass on the posterior neck. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed a circumscribed mass compatible with fat between the C2 and C6 spinous processes with a large calcified irregular component. The mass with dual components was totally removed under general anesthesia and no recurrence was observed after 6 months of follow-up. We also reviewed the clinicopathologic features of previously reported osteolipomas in the literature and suggest that although osteolipoma is a rare variant of lipoma, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis when a lipoma of the posterior neck mixed with a bony component is encountered.

Objective: Liposarcoma (LPS) is the most common soft tissue sarcoma and accounts for approximately 20% of all mesenchymal malignancies, often occurring in deep soft tissue of retroperitoneal space. Accurate preoperative diagnosis is therefore necessary. We explored whether computed tomography (CT) could be used to differentiate between the various types of retroperitoneal liposarcoma (RPLS). Method: Forty-seven cases of RPLS, diagnosed surgically and histologically, were analyzed retrospectively. CT features were correlated with postoperative pathological appearance. Results: The study radiologist identified 29, 11, 2, 2 and 3 RPLS as atypical lipomatous tumor/well-differentiated liposarcoma (ALT/WDL), dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDL), myxoid/round cell liposarcoma (ML/RCL), pleomorphic liposarcoma (PL) and mixed-type liposarcoma. Analysis of CT scans revealed the following typical findings of the different subtypes of RPLS: ALT/WDL was mainly visible as a well-delineated fatty hypodense tumor with uniform density and integrity margin; DDL was marked by the combination of focal nodular density and hypervascularity. ML/RCL, PL and mixed liposarcoma showed malignant biological behaviour and CT findings need further studies. Conclusions: CT scanning can reveal important details including internal components, margins and surrounding tissues. Based on CT findings, tumor type can be roughly evaluated and biopsy location and therapeutic scheme guided.

Purpose: Benign symmetrical lipomatosis(Madelung's disease) is a disease of uncertain etiology that manifests as massive lipomatous deposits in specific area of the body. It is usually located on the neck, shoulder, proximal regions of the extremities and the abdomen. Madelung's disease is found many in middle-aged, Mediterranean man. Imaging using either computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging is often recommended. Dietary restriction provides no relief of disease. Abstinence with alcohol may delay further progression but does not regression tumor mass. The objective of this study is to prove effectiveness of liposuction for treatment of benign lipomatosis. Methods: We conducted liposuction as a treatment for benign lipomatosis. After general anesthesia, We conducted power assisted liposuction and amount of suctioned volume was about 2500 cc. After surgery, we did compressive dressing and then followed by pressure garment. Results: Six months after surgery, patient was examined for follow up at outpatient department. Recurred lipoma was not observated. Patient was satisfied with result.Conclusion: The only effective therapy for Madelung's disease is surgical removal but recurrence could be occurring. Also multiple surgical scars will be visible. We report a patient with multiple large lipomatosis successfully treated with liposuction.

Purpose: Lipofibromatous Hamartoma(LFH) of nerve is a tumor - like lipomatous process principally involving the young persons. This is rare disease characterized by a soft slowly growing mass surrounding and infiltrating major nerves and their branches of the palm and digits. LFH of nerve usually affects the median nerve, with the most common sites of presentation being the distal forearm and hand in the wrist or palm. It may cause symptoms of compression neuropathy and is associated with macrodactyly. Recently, MRI plays a major role in confirming the diagnosis of LFH. Therefore, we present two cases of LFH in the hand with MRI features and surgical management. Methods: One is 6 - years - old female who presented with macrodactyly involving both the soft tissue and bony parts of the second, third and forth digits of her right hand. The other one is 16 - years - old man who presented involving the soft tissue of the second and third digits of his right hand, with pain and numbness, along with motor and sensory deficits in the median nerve distribution. To evaluation about LFH, we enforced preoperative MRI and physical examination. After confirming the diagnosis of LFH, we proposed decompression of all compromised peripheral nerve to help alleviate pain and paresthesia to reduce the likelihood of permanent motor and sensory sequelae. Results: A characteristic feature on MRI is the appearance of serpentiform nerve fascicle surrounded by fibro - fatty tissue within the expended nerve sheet. Distribution of fat between fascicles is asymmetric. Two cases were treated by limited debulking of the redundant tumor tissue and excision of epineurial fatty tissue. These cases were performed with relief of symptom. Conclusion: MRI not only confirms the diagnosis, it also provides a detailed assessment of nerve involvement preoperatively. Especially, on coronal images, the nerve has a spagetti - like appearance that is pathognomonic of LFH. Recommendations for early treatment include decompression of the carpal tunnel, debulking of the fibro - fatty sheath, microsurgical dissection of the neural elements and excision of involve nerve with or without grafting.
