Purpose : Plantar surfaces, calcaneal area, and region of Achilles insertion, which are extremely related with weight-bearing area and shoes application, must be reconstructed with glabrous and strong fibrous skin. Numerous methods of reconstructing defects of these regions have been advocated, but the transfer of similar local tissue as a cutaneous flap with preservation of sensory potential would best serve the functional needs of the weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing surfaces of this region. Therefore it is recommended to use the limited skin of medial surface of foot that is similar to plantar region and non-weight-bearing area. In this paper we performed the medial plantar flap transfered as a fasciocutaneous island as one alterative for moderate-sized defects of the plantar forefoot, plantar heel, and area around the ankle in 25 cases and report the result, availability and problem of medial plantar flap. Materials and methods : We performed proximally based medial plantar flap in 22 cases and reverse flow island flap in 3 cases. Average age was $36.5(4{\sim}70)$ years and female was 3 cases. The causes of soft tissue defect were crushing injury on foot 4 cases, small bony exposure at lower leg 1 case, posterior heel defect with exposure of calcaneus 8 cases, severe sore at heel 2 cases, skin necrosis after trauma on posterior foot 4 cases, and defect on insertion area of Achilles tendon 6cases. Average follow up duration was 1.8(7 months-9.5 years) years. Results: Medial plantar flaps was successful in 22 patients. 18 patients preserved cutaneous branches of medial plantar nerve had sensation on transfered flap but diminished sensation or dysesthesia. At the follow up, we found there were no skin ulceration, recurrence of defect or skin breakdown in all 18 patients. But there was one case which occurred skin ulceration postoperatively among another 4 cases not contained medial plantar nerve. At the last follow up, all patients complained diminished sensation and paresthesia at medial plantar area distally to donor site, expecially with 4 patients having severe pain and discomfort during long-time walking. Conclusion : Medial plantar island flap based on medial plantar neurovascualr pedicle have low failure rate with strong fibrous skin and preserve sensibility of flap, so that it is useful method to reconstruct the skin and soft tissue defect of foot. But it should be emphasized that there are some complications such like pain and paresthesia by neuropraxia or injury of medial plantar nerve at more distal area than donor site. We may consider that medial plantar flap have limited flap size and small arc of rotation, and require skin graft closure of the donor defect and must chose this flap deliberately.
Purpose:To know the results after induction chemotherapy followed by curative radiation therapy for locally advanced hypopharyngeal cancer Methods and Materials:From August 1990 to December 2003, forty patients who were treated with induction chemotherapy and curative radiation therapy were analyzed retrospectively. Median age of patients was 60 years(range:40-78 years) and clinical stage was wholly stage 3 or 4. Induction chemotherapy used cisplatin with 5-FU or docetaxel, and its interval was 3 weeks. Irradiated radiation dose was 70 to 78Gy (median:70.8Gy). Results:Median follow-up time was 39.4 months(range:8-115 months). Treatment failures were observed in 52.5% patients, and main failure pattern was local recurrence in 16 patients. 3 and 5 year disease free survival were 52.6%, 48.2% respectively and values of overall survival were 60.0, 43.9% and median survival time was 44.7 months. Treatment response was only a prognostic factor for survival. Laryngeal preservation was observed in twenty-four(60.0%) patients. Conclusion:Initial primary tumor stage was a significant prognostic factor for laryngeal preservation, and response after radiation therapy was a prognostic factor for long-term survival after induction chemotherapy followed by curative radiation therapy for locally advanced hypopharyngeal cancer.
Two dogs were presented with a history of anorexia, respiratory distress, or epistaxis. On physical examination, the dogs showed difficulty breathing and open-mouth breathing and large masses were found on the hard palate and soft palate. Cardiac arrest happened in case 2 and the dog was stabilized with cardiopulmonary resuscitation and oxygen therapy. Computed tomography demonstrated that the mass occupied the oropharynx, intrapharyngeal ostium, and laryngopharynx including the hard palate and soft palate in case 1. Palliative surgery was decided to improve swallowing and breathing with owner's consent in two dogs. Buccal mucosal flaps were performed for reconstruction of defects using rotational and single-pedicle advancement flaps and bilateral 90 degree transposition flaps in cases 1 and 2, respectively. Histopathology results described the oral masses as amelanotic melanoma in two dogs. The owners reported that there was normal swallowing and breathing at 7 days postoperatively in two dogs. In case 1, recurrent tumor was identified caudal to the hard palate 4 weeks after surgery. The owner did not allow further treatment and the dog became lost to follow-up at 2 months postoperatively. In case 2, there was no clinical or radiographic evidence of a local recurrence or distant metastasis at 3 weeks after surgery. The owner informed that the dog died suddenly with no signs of anything particularly wrong at 7 weeks after surgery.

Purpose : Giant cell tumors(GCT) sometimes undergo malignant transformation after the radiotherapy, but very rarely do without radiotherapy. We reviewed the clinical experiences of the malignant transformation of GCT to suggest the guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of them. Materials and Methods : We examined four patients of pathologically proven malignant transformation of GCT, which occurred after the operative treatment alone without radiation, from September 1985 to January 2001. The mean follow-up period after the malignant transformation was 2.4 years(range, 1.3~4 years). Results : The mean time-interval from the initial diagnosis to the malignant transformation was 6.9 years(range, 2.2~13.5 years). The locations of tumors were soft tissues of proximal upper arm, proximal femur, distal femur and proximal tibia. The histology of malignant GCT was osteosarcoma in 3 cases and malignant fibrous histiocytoma in 1 case. Local recurrence developed in 1 patient and the pulmonary metastasis developed in 3 patients which transformed to osteosarcoma. Conclusion : Thorough sampling of the surgical specimen appears to be a very important factor for diagnosing the malignant transformation of GCT. In case of suspicion of malignancy in radiographs, the incisional biopsy should be followed by definite treatment rather than the improper resection.

Purpose: We analyzed the diagnosis and the treatment outcomes of patients with central low grade osteosarcoma. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 16 patients with central low grade osteosarcoma were treated at out institution between 1994 and 2011. Results: There were 4 men and 12 women with mean age of 26 years. Eleven patients were correctly diagnosed but 5 patients were misdiagnosed as osteoid osteoma, non ossifying fibroma, aneurysmal bone cyst, desmoplastic fibroma. 15 patients finally received wide margin en bloc excision and one of them treated under neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Final survival status was continuous disease free in 14 and 1 patient died of renal cell cancer. Remaining 1 with multifocal lesions is alive with disease for 7 years only treated radiation therapy on residual tumors. Nine (56%) of 16 tumors showed extra-osseous extension of tumor (56%) and 1 of them showed extra-compartmental tumors. Conclusion: The diagnosis of central low grade osteosarcoma is challenging, however, considering of the clinical suspicion, the typical findings of radiologic and pathologic features, proper diagnosis is needed. This tumor should be treated with wide excision, even after an intralesional excision, to avoid local recurrence or transformation to higher histologic grade.

Purpose: We analyzed the oncologic outcome of the malignant transformed benign giant cell tumor of bone. Materials and Methods: Between January 2000 and February 2012, 5 cases were referred with suspicious malignant transformation of benign giant cell tumor. No patients underwent radiation therapy. Results: After referral, all patients received the wide excision of the tumor and its' pathologic diagnosis were osteosarcoma. As classified by the location of tumor lesion, 3 cases were located in the distal femur, 1 case was in the distal radius and 1 case was in the proximal femur. The average latent period between diagnosis of benign giant cell tumor and diagnosis of secondary malignant giant cell tumor was 49.2 months. (range, 24-126 months) The mean follow-up period was 21.6 months. There were subsequent local recurrence in 2 cases and 3 patients developed distant metastasis. All patients with lung metastasis were dead. Conclusion: Malignant transformation of benign giant cell tumor of bone can be occurred within 5 years. Therefore, when benign giant cell tumor suspicious malignant transformation, it is necessary to do more aggressive treatment.

Dedifferentiated parosteal osteosarcoma is an uncommon variant of osteosarcoma. Dedifferentiation is known to be associated with a greater metastatic potential and a more rapid lethal clinical course. Thus recognition of dedifferentiation is important to establish the treatment strategy. But there may be few significant clinical clues to distinguish between dedifferentiated parosteal osteosarcoma and conventional one. A 29-year-old woman presented with 2-year history of discomfort and swelling in her proximal thigh. Examination showed a large, hard, non-mobile mass. Radiographs revealed a large ossified mass attached to the proximal femur. Diagnosis of parosteal osteosarcoma was established by MRI and needle biopsy. But she had a history of abrupt severe thigh pain and increased swelling before surgery. Follow up MRI showed enlargement of mass with invasion to muscle around tumor. The patient underwent an en-bloc resection of tumor and reconstruction. Histological examination showed parosteal sarcoma with dedifferentiation. The patient expired due to local recurrence of tumor and distant lung metastasis 2 months after the surgery. In case with rapid growth of a lesion or unusual severe pain, one must have a high index of suspicion with regard to dedifferentiation.

Background: The two most common skin cancers are basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The purpose of this study was to describe the detailed clinical behavior of BCC and SCC in the head and neck region over 19 years at a single institution. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed for all patients with non-melanoma skin cancer who had undergone surgical resection over an 18-year period. Patient charts were reviewed for demographic information, tumor size, onset-to-diagnosis, anatomic location, clinical subtype, histologic differentiation, method of surgical treatment, and recurrence. Results: The review identified 265 cases of either BCC or SCC in 226 patients. Of the 226 patients, 80 (35.4%) were men and 146 (64.6%) were women. BCC (n=138, 55.9%) was more frequent than SCC (109, 44.1%). The most frequent age group was 70-to-79 year olds (45 patients, 35.2%) for BCC and 80-to-89 year olds (41 patients, 41.8%) for SCC. By aesthetic units of the face, the most common location was the nasal unit (44 cases, 31.9%) for BCC and the buccal unit (23 cases, 21.1%) for SCC. The most common clinical subtype of BCC was the nodular type (80 cases, 58.0%). Local flaps were most commonly used to cover surgical defects (136 cases, 55.1%). Recurrent rates were 2.2% for BCC and 5.5% for SCC. Conclusion: In our study, many characteristics of BCC and SCC were compared to previously published reports were generally similar, except the ratio of BCC to SCC. Further study can help to establish the characteristics of BCC and SCC.

Purpose: We evaluated the results of surgical treatment for metastatic pathologic or impending pathologic fractures. Materials and Methods: From January 2004 to December 2007, 18 patients 19 cases were included. Male were 6 and female were 12. The mean age was 65.1. Mean follow up period was 15.2 months. Pathologic fractures were 14 and impending pathologic fractures were 5. MSTS score, periodic radiologic follow up and postoperative complications were evaluated. Results: The primary malignancies were 6 cases of multiple myeloma, 4 cases of renal cell carcinoma, 2 cases of cholangiocarcinoma, 2 cases of colon cancer, 2 cases of breast cancer and 2 cases of leiomyosarcoma. Metastatic lesions were 10 cases of femur, 4 cases of clavicle, 2 cases of humerus, 2 cases of tibia and 1 case of radius. Surgical options were curettage, cementation, internal fixation and arthroplasty. Mean MSTS score was 15.9. Postoperative complications were 1 case of infection, 1 case of local recurrence and 1 case of implant loosening. Ten patients were alive with disease, 8 patients died of disease. Conclusion: Surgical treatment of metastatic skeletal lesions allowed early ambulation and improving dexterity. It improved pain and emotional acceptance. Surgery is necessary for improving qualities of remaining lives.

Soft tissue sarcomas of popliteal fossa are rare, accounting for less than 5% of all soft tissue sarcomas of the extremities. In an extracompartmental space such as the popliteal, cubital fossa and inguinal space, where major vessels and nerves traverse, performing resections with wide margin is difficult and sometimes marginal margin is inevitable for limb salvage. For popliteal tumor resection, posterior approach would be a classic method. For tumors with small size and not adherent to surrounding structures, tumor is easily resected by this approach and dissection of nerve sheath or adventitia of vessel. On the contrary, tumors of large size and infiltrating the posterior structure of knee joint may show difficulty in en-bloc resection itself. These cases were candidates for amputation. Furthermore, tumors involving both popliteal fossa and anterior compartment usually had no choice but to have an amputation to prevent local recurrence. We regarded soft tissue sarcoma showing this kind of presentation as bone tumor having extraosseous mass. We performed wide en-bloc resection of proximal tibia and fibula along with sarcoma involving both compartment on liposarcoma of 47-year old man.
