This is a clinical analysis of 24 cases of parotid gland tumor who were treated in the department of Surgery, Chonnam National University Medical School during the past 10years from January, 1976 to December, 1985. According to this analysis of total 24 cases, we concluded as follows; 1) 21 cases were benign tumors and 3 cases were malignant tumors. As the histopathological findings, benign tumor included 88%and malignant tumor 12%. Majority of benign tumor contained mixed tumor(86.7%), and the malignant tumor contained mucoepidermoid carcinoma (66.7%). 2) The peak age incidence was 40th in benign tumor and 50th in malignant tumor. 3) The chief complaints of patient was a painless mass and the duration of illness was average 5.2 years. 4) The mean size of mass was 4.5cm in diameter. 5) The surgical procedures were performed with excision 6 cases, superficial lobectomy 8 cases, wide excision with partial parotidectomy 4 cases, total parotidectomy 3 cases in benign tumors. In malignant tumors, total parotidectomy 2 cases and wide excision with partial parotidectomy 1 case were performed. 6) Major postoperative complications such as facial nerve palsy 7 cases (temporary ; 5 cases, permanent; 2 cases), Frey syndrome 1 case, seroma 1 case, hematoma 1 case, and wound infection 1 case were developed. The recurrence contained pleomorphic adenoma 1 case and mucoepidermoid carcinoma 1 case.

Purpose: Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors most often arise from the anatomically discernible peripheral nerve or neurofibroma. Methods: A 55-year-old man had a rapidly growing pedunculated large mass on the sacrolumbar junction for 2 years. He has congenital neurofibromatosis type I. He had multiple caf-au-lait spots and multiple neurofibromas on the entire body. The mass developed from a subcutaneous nodule on the sacrolumbar junction and grew rapidly. The preoperative punch biopsy revealed a malignant peripheral nerve tumor. The mass was completely excised with 1 cm free margin above the deep fascial plane. Results: There was no evidence of recurrence of tumor for 19 months of follow-up examination. Conclusion: Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor is very rare and has unique feature. We report a successful case of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor with the review of the literatures.

Malignant triton tumor(MTT) is a rare type of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor(MPNST) with focal rhabdomyoblastic differentiation. MTT constitutes about 5% of all MPNSTs and described the first case of a MTT in a patient with Von Recklinghausen disease by Masson in 1932. MTT is commonly seen in the head, neck, extremities and trunk. It can occur in sporadic form or over a setting of neurofibromatosis-1(NF-1). The diagnosis can be confirmed based on morphologic grounds supported by an immunostain such as S-100 protein. Desmin, myo-D1 and myogenin are immunostains positive for rhabdomyoblasts. MTT has an aggressive biological behavior so prognosis of this rare and highly malignant tumor is poor and optimal treatment remains unclear. But modern treatment consisted of radical excision and postoperative radiotherapy has improved the prognosis of such cases.

The malignant melanoma accounts for about 1 to 3% of the total malignant tumor in the West, especially in the US, it is a disease that causes more than 9,000 deaths each year. Generally, skin lesions are difficult to detect the features through photography. In this paper, we propose a computer-aided diagnosis algorithm based on deep learning for classification of malignant melanoma and benign skin tumor in RGB channel skin images. The proposed deep learning model configures the tumor lesion segmentation model and a classification model of malignant melanoma. First, U-Net was used to segment a skin lesion area in the dermoscopic image. We could implement algorithms to classify malignant melanoma and benign tumor using skin lesion image and results of expert's labeling in ResNet. The U-Net model obtained a dice similarity coefficient of 83.45% compared with results of expert's labeling. The classification accuracy of malignant melanoma obtained the 83.06%. As the result, it is expected that the proposed artificial intelligence algorithm will utilize as a computer-aided diagnosis algorithm and help to detect malignant melanoma at an early stage.

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.

Malignant tumors of the hand are very rare. Between 1989 and 1998, 17 patients with malignant tumors of the hand were evaluated for clinical features, prevalence, treatment and results. The mean age was 45 years and median duration of follow-up was 38 months. A painless mass was the most common symptom and the most common lesion was the digit. Fifteen cases of soft tissue and 2 cases of bone tumor were diagnosed. On pathology, soft tissue tumors were comprised of 8 cases of malignant melanoma, 2 cases of angiosarcoma and 1 case each of malignant fibrous histiocytoma, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor, extraskeletal chondrosarcoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. Bone tumors were metastatic tumors and each originated from the rectal cancer or lung cancer. Lymph node involvements were noted in 4 cases of malignant melanoma and 1 case of squamous cell carcinoma. Six cases of metacarpo-phalangeal joint disarticulation and 4 cases of phalanx amputation were performed. Wide excision, ray amputation and below-elbow amputation were also performed. Three cases expired due to metastasis and progression of the original lesion. Among the surviving 14 cases, a malignant melanoma had metastasis on the axillary lymph node and 13 cases showed no local recurrence or metastasis during the follow-up.

For malignant neoplasms of salivary tissues. two of the better determinants of progosis are histologic classification and size of the neoplasm. Proper management of these tumors requires an accurate diagnosis by the pathologist and correct interpretation by the surgeon. Malignant mixed tumors account for between 3 and 13 precent of all cancers of the salivary glands and 2 percent of all tumors in these locations. The typical history of these tumors is that of slowly growing mass demonstrating a sudden increase in growth. The duration of onset of the tumor mass and the diagnosis of malignancy has been demonstrated to be 10 to 18 years. The risk of malignat transformation of a benign mixed tumor increases with the duration of the tumor. We analyzed retrospectively 13 cases of malignant mixed tumor who visited from Jan. 1985 to Dec. 1992. Mean age of the patients was 56.5 years. The origin of tumors were parotid gland 7 cases, submandibular gland 2 cases, and minor salivary gland 4 cases(palate 3 cases, tonsil pillar 1 case). According to the criteria of the AJCC on staging, stage I was 1 case, stage II 1 case, stage III 2 cases, and stage IV 9 cases. Histopathologically, carcinma ex pleomorphic adenoma were 12 cases and the true malignant mixed tumor was 1 case. The major treatment modalities were curative surgery, and radiation therapy followed. In conclusion, aggressive therapy of combined surgery and postoperative radiation therapy is required for these lesions, and patients with known or suspected benign tumor should be encouraged to undergo surgery early on in their disease to avoid malignant degeneration at a later dete.

증식성 모낭 종양은 모낭 말단부위의 외근모초에서 기원하는 드문 종양이다. 악성 변화는 드물지만 갑작스러운 크기의 증가, 침윤성 성장 및 두피 이외에서 종양의 발생 등은 악성 증식성 모낭 종양을 시사한다. 병리조직학적으로 핵의 이형성, 다형성 및 유사분열 소견은 악성증식성 모낭 종양의 특징이다. 악성 증식성 모낭 종양은 재발 및 전이가 보고되고 있어 정상조직을 포함한 충분한 절제와 추적관찰이 요구된다. 53세 남자 환자의 우측 제 5수지 원위 지골에 7년전 발생한 종양을 중위 지이하 절제술 후 병리조직검사상 악성 증식성 모낭 종양으로 진단되었고, 환자가 외래로 더 이상 방문하지 않아 재발과 전이를 확인할 수 없었다.
