Elastofibroma is a very rare lesion and one of the most unusual pathologic condition which a surgeon or pathologist can encounter. The elastofibroma is a completely benign lesion that is characteristically localized in the subscapular lesion. The lesion is characterized by abundant benign fibrous tissue and sparse accumulation of elastic fibers. It may occur in the old age and was not found in the adolescence or infant. Most of the elastofibroma involve unilaterally and bilateral involvement is less common. A case of bilateral elastofibroma located in the subscapular region that was treated with marginal excision is reported.

A parosteal lipoma is a benign tumor containing mature adipose tissue and is intimately related to the adjacent periosteum. We experienced a very rare case of parosteal lipoma arising from the shaft of femur. A 46 years old lady visited the hospital with complaining of slowly growing mass in her thigh for 7 month. Initially, it was difficult to differentiate from osteochondroma, parosteal osteosarcoma or liposarcoma. Based on the assessment of plain radiogram and magnetic resonance imaging, it was suspected the parosteal lipoma or osteosarcoma. Marginal excision was performed, and it was confirmed to parosteal lipoma histologically. We present the case with review of literatures.

Background: Keloids are benign fibro-proliferative lesion, related to excessive inflammatory reactions in certain anatomical areas, including the auricles. Their specific etiology remains unclear; nonetheless they exhibit tumor-like characteristics of significant recurrence and cause emotional distress, even with various treatment strategies. We applied intermittent magnetic pressure therapy on ear keloids in combination with surgical excision, and present its effectiveness herein. Methods: Ear keloid patients were treated with surgical excision followed by magnetic pressure therapy. The keloid tissues underwent excision and keloid marginal flaps were utilized for wound closure. Intermittent magnetic pressure therapy was applied 2 weeks after the surgical procedure. The pressure therapy consisted of a 3-hour application and 2-hour resting protocol (9 hr/day), and lasted for 6 months. The results were analyzed 6 months after the therapeutic procedures, using the scar assessment scale. Results: Twenty-two ear keloids from 20 patients were finally reviewed. Among the keloids that completed the therapeutic course, 20 ear keloids out of 22 in total (90.9%) were successfully eradicated. Two patients (2 keloids) exhibited slight under-correction. Postoperative complications such as wound dehiscence or surgical site infection were not noted. The scar assessment scale demonstrated a significant improvement in each index. The intermittent pressure therapy led to patient compliance, and avoided pressure-related pain and discomfort. Conclusion: Excision followed by intermittent pressure application using a magnet successfully reduced the burden of fibro-proliferative keloids, and had good patient compliance. The role of intermittent pressure application and resting should be studied with regard to keloid tissue remodeling.

Primary malignant lymphoma of the parotid gland is extremely rare entity and seldom described in the literature. Extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of mucosa associated lymphoid tissue(MALT lymphoma) is a relatively indolent disease and tents to remain localized for prolonged period of time. MALT lymphoma can be diagnosed after immunohistopathological study. Clinically, most MALT lymphomas are localized at the time of diagnosis and may be curable with local therapy alone, either surgery or radiotherapy. We present a case of MALT lymphoma in both parotid glands of patient who detected a left infraauricular huge mass as a first symptom and underwent surgical excision and immediate reconstruction using sternocleidomastoid myocutaneous flap.

Purpose: Heterotopic calcification is the abnormal deposition of calcium salts in tissues other than bone and enamel, and it occurs in the form of dystrophic calcification or metastatic calcification. This deposition can occur under many conditions, but in some rare cases, it may develop in burns and nonhealed scars. It is difficult to treat the combination of heterotopic calcification and ulceration in scar tissues by using conservative therapy and to determine the margin of excision in such cases. Our study proposes the use of intraoperative C-arm-guided mapping of lesions with heterotopic calcification, and adequate excision of ulcers in chronic scars where heterotopic calcification is also observed. Methods: This study included 2 patients and was conducted from January 2010 to July 2010. The first patient was a 63-year-old woman who presented with atypical calcium deposits and chronic ulceration in the lower one-third region of the right leg. The second patient was a 38-year-old man who presented with a nonhealing ulcer that had developed on the right leg 3 months earlier he had a history of 40% scalding burns on the entire body. Surgery is the most reliable method for treating heterotopic calcification therefore, both patients were treated using intraoperative C-arm-guided marginal mapping of heterotopic calcification, followed by release of contracture, and eventually split-thickness skin grafting. Results: Plain radiographs of the leg showed spotty radiopaque areas in the hard part of the scar well superficial to the underlying bones. Histopathological analysis revealed multiple foci of calcified deposits, increased fibrosis, and inflammation in the scar tissue. Surgery-related complications were not observed. Conclusion: C-arm guided excision of calcified scars and the release of contracture can cure nonhealing ulcers and may therefore prevent recalcification.

부산대학교 병원 정형외과학 교실에서는 24례의 신경초종 환자를 치험하였고 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 신경초종은 성인에 대개 단일성으로 발생하며 주로 상지의 굴곡면에서 촉진가능한 무통성 종괴를 주소로 내원하게 되며 자기공명영상을 이용하면 거의 확진 가능하고 수술상에서도 신경에서 흔히 편심성으로 위치하며 병소 변연부 절제술로 적출이 용이하였으며 합병증으로 감각이상과 표재성 감염이 드물게 발생했지만 일시적이었고, 악성화하거나 재발한 경우는 없었다. 따라서 자기공명영상은 병소의 부위와 범위파악에 유용하며 병소 변연부 절제술은 재발없이 신경초종을 치유할 수 있는 방법으로 권장될 수 있다.

기괴성 방골성 골연골성 증식증은 수부와 족부의 단관골의 표면에 발생하는 양성 종양이다. 치료는 일반적으로 변연부 절제술을 시행하지만 절제 후 국소적인 재발을 잘한다. 국내에서는 족부에 발생한 기괴성 방골성 골연골성 증식증에 대한 보고가 극히 드물다. 저자들은 44세 여자 환자에서 우측 제3족지의 근위지골에 발생한 기괴성 방골성 골연골성 증식증을 경험하고 이를 보고하고자 한다.

기무라씨병은 종괴를 형성하는 원인 불명의 흔치 않는 만성 염증성 질환으로서 동양인에서 자주 이환되며 특히 젊은 남자에서 호발된다. 호발 장소는 주로 두경부이며, 일차적으로 피하 조직과 진피에 발생된다. 비교적 양호한 경과를 보이며, 그 치료 방법으로는 수술적 절제술, 스테로이드 투여법 및 방사선 조사 등이 있다. 저자들은 우측 상완부에 발생한 무통성의 비교적 유동성이 있는 연부 조직 종양 1례에 대한 변연부 절제술을 시행하여 병리조직학적으로 기무라씨병으로 확진하였으며, 수술 후 15개월 추시 상 재발 소견은 없었다.

목적: 천골에 발생하는 드문 질환인 거대 세포종의 치료 방법에 따른 특성과 예후에 대하여 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1990년부터 2012년까지 천골의 거대 세포종으로 진단받고 본원에서 치료받은 7명의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 결과: 평균 연령은 23.6세였고, 남자가 2예, 여자가 5예였으며 평균 추시 기간은 52.3개월(15-73개월)이었다. 5명의 환자에서 병소내 절제술을, 1명의 환자에서 변연 절제술을 시행하였으며 수술적 치료를 시행하지 않은 1명은 방사선 치료만 시행하였다. 방사선 치료만을 시행한 환자와 변연 절제술을 시행한 환자는 국소 재발 없이 추시 중이다. 그 외 병소내 절제를 시행한 5명 중 1예는 한 번의 수술로, 다른 두 예는 두 차례 수술 후 재발 없이 추시 관찰 중이다. 나머지 두 예는 추가 치료에도 병변의 진행을 보였다. 결론: 천골 거대 세포종 환자의 치료법으로써 병소내 절제는 신경학적 손상을 최소화하면서 종양을 치료할 수 있는 방법 중 하나가 될 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 수술적 치료가 어려운 경우 방사선 치료가 대안으로 사용될 수 있다고 생각된다.

Primary cutaneous marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (PCMZL) is an uncommon type of malignant lymphoma that mainly occurs in the trunk and upper extremity, with less frequent incidence observed on the head. Herein, we report the early diagnosis and treatment of a rare case of facial PCMZL in an Asian patient. A 51-year-old man presented with masses on the forehead and nose tip, which he had incidentally discovered 2 months previously. The masses appeared as a papule on the forehead and a patch on the nose. There were no signs of infection or bleeding, and the patient reported no other symptoms. After complete surgical excision, PCMZL was diagnosed based on the permanent biopsy. The histopathological findings revealed lymphoid aggregations with multifocal granulomas. Further treatment and follow-up were conducted at the hematology and oncology department. Despite its rarity in Asian populations, cutaneous lymphoma should be included in the differential diagnosis of facial masses. Early diagnosis and treatment based on a physical examination, imaging study, and excisional biopsy are important for a favorable prognosis.
