Pleomorphic adenoma is a benign salivary gland tumor with histologic diversity. The majority of these tumor occurs in the parotid gland. The authors experienced the patients, who complained the tumor-like soft tissue mass on the palatal area. After careful analysis of clinical, radiological and histopathological findings, we diagnosed it as pleomorphic adenoma in the palatal area, and obtained characteristic features were as follows: 1. Main clinical symptom was a painless, slow growing, soft tissue mass with normal intact overlying mucosa on the palatal area. 2. In the radiographic examminations, well encapsulated homogeneous soft tissue mass was shown in the lesion site, and cortical thinning on the palate was also observed. 3. In histopathologic examminations, proliferated cellular components in the hyaline stroma were observed as double layered duct-like structure and densely solid sheet appearance.

초음파 검사는 연부조직 종물 평가를 위해서 일차적으로 시행할 수 있는 효과적인 검사로 알려져 있다. 저자들은 좌측원위 대퇴부에 통증을 동반한 표재성 연부조직 종물로 내원한 환자의 초음파 검사에서 양성 종양으로 판단되었으나 수술 후 조직검사에서 활막육종으로 진단된 증례를 경험하여 문헌고찰과 함께 이를 보고하고자 한다.

Myxomas in the orofacial regions are relatively uncommon tumors that occur in two different types: odontogenic myxomas and soft tissue myxomas. Odontogenic myxomas, derived from the mesenchymal cells such as papillae, dental follicles, or periodontal ligament, occur commonly in the maxilla and mandible. However, soft tissue myxomas in the oral cavity are rare and have been previously reported in only about 30 cases of unknown pathogenesis. The aim of this case report is to present a new case of oral soft tissue myxoma in a 37-year-old male patient who presented with a soft, exophytic round mass on the palate.

In this report we present a case of disseminated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in a 79-year-old man affecting the bone, soft tissue, testis, and both kidneys, which are rarely affected sites. The formation of a large mass in the bone, soft tissue, and testis due to DLBCL is rarely seen nowadays. In this article, we describe the imaging findings and clinical significance of multifocal extranodal involvement in DLBCL, focusing on involvement of bone, soft tissue, and testis.

Alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) is a rare soft tissue sarcoma, which occurs predominantly in adolescents and young adults. The cytological characteristics of this condition have been described only rarely in the literature. Here, we report a case of alveolar soft part sarcoma. A 28-year-old man presented with a mass in his right buttock, which had persisted for three years. The mass was subjected to a fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). The smears were cellular. The observed tumor cells were round or polygonal, and exhibited vesicular nuclei with prominent nucleoli and finely granular cytoplasm. Naked nuclei were frequently detected. Tumor cells were arranged singularly, but occasionally in a pseudoalveolar pattern.

Soft tissue sarcomas are malignant tumors that arise in the extraskeletal connective tissues of the body. And the clinical behavior of soft tissue sarcomas is characterized by a tendency to extensively invade surrounding soft tissues as well as early metastatic dissemination. Difficulties were encounted when soft tissue sarcomas invade the major vessels. There are a few reprots about the reconstruction of the major vessels after resection of soft tissue sarcomas. We have treated 3 cases of the soft tissue sarcomas involving the major artery. After marginal excision of the tumor mass, the involved major artery was reconstructed with Gortex artificial vessel graft and we could salvage the patient's extremity.

Primary hepatocellular carcinomas are rare in dogs. A 12-year-old 5.4 kg female Poodle was referred to the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital with abdominal distension and mild anorexia. In this case, an extensive soft tissue mass was clearly palpable in the upper abdomen and radiography revealed a spherical mass of soft tissue density in the abdomen but its origin was not clear. In following an exploratory laparotomy, a partial hepatectomy was performed. Surgical complications were minimal. The survival time was seven months before dyspnea lead to a sudden and rapid decline.

Due to the long training time and high training cost of traditional surgical training methods, the emerging virtual surgical training method has gradually replaced it as the mainstream. However, the virtual surgical system suffers from poor authenticity and high computational cost problems. For overcoming the deficiency of these problems, we propose an optimized model for the local compression deformation of soft tissue. This model uses a simulated annealing algorithm to optimize the parameters of the soft tissue model to improve the authenticity of the simulation. Meanwhile, although the soft tissue deformation is divided into local deformation region and non-deformation region, our proposed model only needs to calculate and update the deformation region, which can improve the simulation real-time performance. Besides, we define a compensation strategy for the "superelastic" effect which often occurs with the mass-spring model. To verify the validity of the model, we carry out a compression simulation experiment of abdomen and human foot and compare it with other models. The experimental results indicate the proposed model is realistic and effective in soft tissue compression simulation, and it outperforms other models in accuracy and real-time performance.

Heavy ions have a high potential for destroying deep tumors that carry the highest dose at the peak of Bragg. The peak caused by a single-energy carbon beam is too narrow, which requires special measures for improvement. Here, carbon-12 (¹²C) ion with different energies has been used as a source for calculating the dose distribution in the water phantom, soft tissue and bone by the code of Monte Carlobased FLUKA code. By increasing the energy of the initial beam, the amount of absorbed dose at Bragg peak in all three targets decreased, but the trend for this reduction was less severe in bone. While the maximum absorbed dose per bone-mass unit in energy of 200 MeV/u was about 30% less than the maximum absorbed dose per unit mass of water or soft tissue, it was merely 2.4% less than soft tissue in 400 MeV/u. The simulation result showed a good agreement with experimental data at GSI Darmstadt facility of biophysics group by 0.15 cm average accuracy in Bragg peak positioning. From 200 to 400 MeV/u incident energy, the Bragg peak location increased about 18 cm in soft tissue. Correspondingly, the bone and soft tissue revealed a reduction dose ratio by 2.9 and 1.9. Induced neutrons did not contribute more than 1.8% to the total energy deposited in the water phantom. Also during ¹²C ion bombardment, secondary fragments showed 76% and 24% of primary 200 and 400 MeV/u, respectively, were present at the Bragg-peak position. The combined treatment of carbon ions with neutron or electron beams may be more effective in local dose delivery and also treating malignant tumors.

초음파의 다양한 장점에도 불구하고 초음파의 질감(echotexture)과 균질성(homogenecity)의 문제로 악성 종양과 양성종양을 감별하는데 한계가 있을 수 있으므로, 초음파를 이용한 고형의 연부조직 종괴를 진단할 때는 주의가 필요하다.
