이하선에 발생한 지방종은 과거에 적절한 진단방법의 부재와 낮은 발생빈도로 인하여 종종 양성혼합종이나 와르틴종양으로 진단되어 종물을 포함하는 이하선을 절제하여 왔다. 하지만 진단방법의 발달로 전산화단층촬영이나 자기공명영상을 통하여 술전에 지방종의 진단이 가능해져 다른종양들과 감별되므로 이하선의 실질을 보존하며 종물을 제거하는 것이 용이하게 되었다. 본증례에서는 이하선 천엽에 발생한 지방종을 전산화단층촬영을 통하여 진단하고 이하선절제술을 시행하지 않고 이하선의 실질의 손상을 최소화하며 종양을 제거하였다. 술후 3개월 후에 방사선 동위원소를 이용한 이하선의 기능검사를 통하여 이하선의 정상적 기능을 확인하였다.

Foreign body granulomas can develop after the injection of various cosmetic filling materials into the facial area to flatten wrinkles. Clinically, reactive lesions are easily mistaken for soft-tissue neoplasms or cysts. This report presents a case of foreign body granuloma in a 52-year-old female patient complaining of a painless swelling in the nasolabial region. Both clinical and histological features are described, underscoring the diagnostic role of magnetic resonance imaging findings.

Cutaneous leiomyosarcoma is an uncommon superficial soft tissue sarcoma and mainly found in the middle aged to elderly males. It can occur in any part of the body, mostly affecting the extremities and rarely affecting the face. It grows relatively slowly, can be diagnosed by biopsy and is treated by surgical excision. It needs to be distinguished from other spindle cell neoplasms, and immunohistochemical markers are usually required to attain an accurate diagnosis. We report a case of cutaneous leiomyosarcoma appeared on the left cheek within 6 month of a 73-year-old female patient suspected with malignant melanoma before surgery

Chronic expanding organizing hematoma (CEH) occasionally mimics a soft tissue tumor on MRI, which becomes more problematic in patients with a history of surgical resection for musculoskeletal malignancy. Herein, we present a case of CEH which we were able to differentiate from recurrent tumor through MRI follow-up, including diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) imaging. A 66-year-old male visited our institution under suspicion of recurrent leiomyosarcoma of the thigh, 19 months after surgery and radiation therapy. Due to inconclusive results, three US-guided biopsies and 6 MRI examinations were performed over 2 years. In the end, we could diagnose a CEH using conventional and functional MRI techniques, and it was histopathologically confirmed after surgical resection. A CEH may occur remotely after an initiating event, and it may persist and expand over several years. Functional MR sequences, in addition to conventional sequences, are helpful in differentiating CEH from malignant neoplasms.

Neurilemmoma is a benign tumor of the nerve sheath that arises on cranial and spinal nerve roots as well as along the course of peripheral nerves. A case of a neurilemmoma that arose in the left infratemporal fossa of a 29-year-old male was presented. Plain radiographs, enhanced computed tomography scan, and magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a large, well-circumscribed, heterogeneously enhanced mass with extension into the pterygopalatine fossa. Displaced by the large mass, bowing-in of the posterior maxillary antral wall was noted and a provisional diagnosis of a benign soft tissue tumor was made. The mass was completely excised and a diagnosis of neurilemmoma was confirmed.

Purpose: Glomus tumors are neoplasms that are composed of modified smooth muscle cells of the glomus body and multiple glomus tumor comprises 10% of all glomus tumors. We report a case of disseminated multiple glomus tumors. Methods: A 14 - year - old boy presented with multiple subcutaneous purple nodules on the right cheek, back, right arm, right hand dorsum, right fourth finger, and left ankle. Nodules on the back and right fourth finger were completely excised under local anesthesia and histopathologic examination was followed. Results: Histopathologic findings showed numerous dilated, cavernous - like, thin - walled, vascular spaces surrounded by one or a few layers of glomus cells. On immunohistochemical examination, glomus cells stain for smooth muscle actin, and endothelial cells stain for CD31. Those revealed multiple glomangiomas. Conclusion: A review of Korean literature revealed only one reported cases of disseminated multiple glomus tumors, so this is the second case to be reported in the Korean literature. In case of multiple soft tissue tumors, thorough physical examination and preoperative evaluation is needed.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a primary hepatic neoplasms in dogs. Three types of HCC such as massive, nodular and diffuse form were reported. Massive HCC is most common and has relatively better prognosis than other forms because this type of HCC can be removed surgically and has low frequency of relapse or metastasis. Diagnostic image can provide useful information for shape and internal structure of the hepatic mass as well as the location and adhesion or invasiveness of the mass to establish surgical plan to remove the mass safely. In this study, we investigated diagnostic features of massive HCC in 5 dogs. Radiography showed soft tissue mass in cranial abdomen in 3 dogs. On ultrasonography, all dogs had a solitary hepatic mass with mixed echo pattern with anechoic cysts, which represented necrosis and hemorrhage. The radiographic and ultrasonographic findings of affected hepatic lobe were compared with the macroscopic findings through laparotomy. Computed tomography was performed to check metastasis and figure out the origin of the mass in two dogs. Ultrasonography is useful and relatively sensitive examination for diagnosis and planning for surgery in canine massive HCC.

Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors are extremely rare soft tissue sarcomas. Among various locations, the trunk and extremities are the most commonly involved sites, with only 15% of such lesions occuring in head and neck region. Here, we report a case of a 74-year-old male who presented with forehead swelling and right eye deviation. Computed tomography images revealed a tumor involving the frontal sinus, ethmoid sinus, and the orbital cavity. The patient underwent a surgical excision of the lesion, which histopathological examination revealed to be a malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor.

Myxoid solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is very rare soft tissue neoplasm. It is microscopically composed of spindle cells which is individually separated by delicate band of collagen fibers. And this tumor cells are immunohisto-chemistrically highlighted by CD34. Myxoid SFT has indolent clinical course and a good prognosis, so it is important to make a diagnosis because of its morphological similarities to myxoid spindle cell neoplasms that have different prognoses and treatment. We report the case of a 20-year-old female with a myxoid SFT found in the left temporo-parietal scalp. This case report appears to be the first reported scalp occurrence of this rare tumor.

결절성 근막염은 섬유아세포 및 근섬유모세포로 이루어진 양성 증식성 병변으로 주로 상지의 연조직에서 발견된다. 이 외에도 하지 및 두경부, 그리고 드물게 유방에서의 결절성 근막염이 보고되었다. 유방의 결절성 근막염은 드물고 임상 및 영상검사상 악성 종양과 유사한 특징을 보여 종양의 감별진단 및 치료 방법을 결정함에 있어 어려움이 있다. 저자들은 영상검사상 엽상 종양으로 의심되었던 유방의 결절성 근막염 소견을 경험하여 보고하고자 한다.
