위장관계의 신경섬유종의 발생빈도는 드물다고 알려져 있다. 저자들은 제1형 신경섬유종증의 15세 남자 환아에서 상부위장관 출혈로 발현한 위에 생기는 신경섬유종을 내시경 및 상부위장관 조영술을 통해 진단을 내리고, 수술적 제거를 시행하였던 1례를 경험하였기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Meningothelial hamartoma is a benign tumor composed of ectopic meningothelial elements in the dermis and subcutaneous tissue. It mainly occurs in the scalp; however, the incidence is extremely low. The origin of meningothelial hamartoma has not been elucidated; nevertheless, it has been theorized that it derives from ectopic meningothelial rests displaced during embryologic development. It can be diagnosed histologically as proliferation of connective tissue elements and cells arranged in solid nests, resembling vascular tumors. On immunohistochemistry, it stains positively for epithelial membrane antigen and vimentin. At least 17 cases have been reported, verifying the rarity of the lesion. We present the case of a 16-year-old male patient with a soft scalp mass which was thought to be a lipoma, but turned out to be a meningothelial hamartoma on histology.

Blastomyces dermatitidis is a dimorphic fungus that causes the systemic pyogranulomatous disease known as blastomycosis. Blastomycosis most often involves the lungs, skin, and may involve nearly every organ in the body. It is difficult, however, to diagnose blastomycosis in the early stage of pulmonary disease because clinical manifestations are varied from subclinical infection to acute respiratory distress syndrome. Since blastomycosis is often accompanied by granulomatous inflammation in histopathologic findings, differentiation from other etiologic diseases is important. We report a case of a 45-year-old male with pulmonary blastomycosis who had been misdiagnosed with tuberculosis for 3 months.

Henoch-$Sch\ddot{o}nlein$ purpura (HSP) is an immunologically mediated systemic vasculitis of small blood vessels that primarily involves the skin, gastrointestinal tract, joints and kidneys. HSP is a common vasculitic syndrome in children who, in most cases, achieve complete recovery. Pulmonary hemorrhage is a very rare manifestation of HSP. The authors present a case of a 46-year-old male presenting with pulmonary hemorrhage and renal involvement and the diagnosis of HSP. The patient responded to prednisolone therapy.

Prunioside A is a unique, highly oxidized monoterpene glycoside isolated from the methanol extract of Spiraea prunifolia var. Simpliciflora's root. The ester derivatives were synthesized from the hydrolyzed compounds of prunioside A by ${\beta}$-glucosidase. The derivatives showed suppressive effects on the generation of nitric oxide in murine machrophage-like RAW 264.7 cells stimulated by lipopolysaccharide and interferon- ${\gamma}$.

Benign fibrous histiocytoma(BFH) is a mesenchymal cell-originated tumor composed of cells with fibroblastic and histiocytic differentiation. BFH occurs predominantly on sun-exposed skin of extremities. Oral BFH lesions are uncommon. The majority of oral lesions includes the soft tissue but not the jaw bones. The lesion appears as well-defined multilocular radiolucencies associated with bony swelling when it occurs on the jaw. The lesion induces the thinning and expansion of the cortex and shows many thin, indistinct septa in the lesion. Surgical excision is the choice of treatment. The recurrence rate is low and metastasis has not been reported. We report the clinical, radiographic and microscopic findings of a BFH case occurred in the mandible with literature reviews.

Malignant rhabdoid tumors arise primarily from the kidney. Extrarenal malignant rhabdoid tumors are rare, with the liver, central nervous system, and skin reported as the primary sites. Malignant rhabdoid tumors of the mediastinum are extremely rare among extrarenal malignant rhadoid tumors; only 3 cases have been reported to date, all characterized by aggressive clinical behavior. We experienced a 35-year-old woman diagnosed with malignant rhabdoid tumor in the anterior mediastinum with multiple metastases. The tumor was surgically unresectable, and treated with palliative radiation therapy. Three-month after radiation treatment, she died from dissemination of the malignant rabdoid tumor.

Purpose: Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) are rare neoplasms, usually arising from somatic soft tissues or peripheral nerves. Primary MPNST of the scalp is extremely rare. The case is being reported for its rarity. Methods: A 53-year-old female was presented with a scalp mass on vertex area. The tumor was localized in scalp skin and did not invade underlying periosteum or skull and treated with complete surgical excision followed by adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Results: Histologically, the tumor showed malignant spindle cells with focal S-100 positivity on immunohistochemistry and a diagnosis of MPNST was made. Conclusion: Authors experienced a rare case of primary scalp MPNST and report the case.

Purpose: Basal cell nevus syndrome (BCNS), also known as Gorlin syndrome, is a rare autosomal dominant disorder. It is characterized by complex neoplastic syndrome with multisystemic manifestations, involving six major features. This article presents a rare genetic disorder and usage of the author's methods for odontogenic keratocyst, developed in the maxillary sinus. Methods: A 67-year-old man was presented with large calcified maxillary mass and multisystemic manifestations and findings that matched with basal cell nevus syndrome. The calcified maxillary mass was removed via the versatile maxillary window and maxillary bone segment was repositioned. Results: Histopathologic findings revealed that maxillary and mandibular lesions were odontogenic keratocysts and the skin lesions were basal cell carcinoma. Conclusion: Basal cell nevus syndrome is a rare genetic disease that requires surveillance and care for basal cell carcinoma and multisystemic problems. The author's method was satisfactory for maxillary odontogenic keratocyst in the aspect of the approach and reconstruction.
