저자들은 견갑골의 하내측연과 승모근의 외측연 사이에서 발생한 혈관종으로, 견갑골 밑으로 자라난 부위가 음향 그림자(acoustic shadowing)로 인해 초음파 검사상 확인할 수 없었으나 수술 시 견갑골 밑으로 연결된 긴 자루(peduncle)를 포함한 혈관종이 발견되어 수술적으로 완전 절제후 초음파 검사로 추시하여 관찰한 증례를 보고하고자 한다.

A 53-year-old male patient who had suffered from acute myocardial infarction before a week was admitted due to postinfarction angina A mobile pedunculated left ventricular thrombus of 2.0-cm diameter which was overlooked in cardiac catheterization and ventriculographic study was diagnosed with transthoracic two-dimensional echocardiography. There was no exact clinical finding of left ventricular aneurysm and the thrombus was placed in the akinetic and hypokinetic apical portion. For preventing systemic embolism that was removed through a left ventriculotomy just prior to coronary artery bypass grafting.

Background Accessory auricles (AAs) are common congenital anomalies. We present a new classification according to location and shape, and propose a system for coding the classifications. Methods This study was conducted by reviewing the records of 502 patients who underwent surgery for AA. AAs were classified into three anatomical types: intraauricular, preauricular, and buccal. Intraauricular AAs were divided into three subtypes: intracrural, intratragal, and intralobal. Preauricular AAs were divided into five subtypes: precrural, superior pretragal, middle pretragal, inferior pretragal, and prelobal. Buccal AAs were divided into two subtypes: anterior buccal and posterior buccal. AAs were also classified according to their protrusion pattern above the surrounding surface: pedunculated, sessile, areolar, remnant, and depressed. Pedunculated and sessile AAs were subclassified as spherical, ovoid, lobed, and nodular, according to their body shape. Cartilage root presence and family history of AA were reviewed. A coding system for these classifications was also proposed. Results The total number of AAs in the 502 patients was 1,003. Among the locations, the superior pretragal subtype (27.6%) was the most common. Among the protrusion patterns and shapes, pedunculated ovoid AAs were the most common in the preauricular (27.8%) and buccal areas (28.0%), and sessile lobed AAs were the most common in the intraauricular area (48.7%). The proportion of AAs with a cartilage root was 78.4%, and 11% of patients had a family history. The most common type of preauricular AA was the superior pretragal pedunculated ovoid AA (13.2%) with a cartilage root. Conclusions This new system will serve as a guideline for classifying and coding AAs.

Schwannoma, also known as a neurilemmomas or neurinomas, is benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors arising from the Schwann cells. About 25~45 % of all schwannomas are found in the head and neck region, and the majority are found in the parapharyngeal space. Schwannoma of the larynx is very rare with an incidence of 0.1~1.5% in all benign laryngeal tumors. Recently, we experienced a case of a pedunculated schwannoma arising from the left aryepiglottic fold in a 80-year-old patient. The tumor was completely excised under direct laryngoscopy with the use of a $CO_2$ laser and subsequently confirmed as schwannoma. So, we report this case with a review of the literatures.

식도평활근종은 식도에 발생하는 양성종양 중에서 그 빈도가 가장 흔하지만, 식도에서 발생하는 모든 종양 중단지 1%를 차지할 정도로 비교적 흔치 않은 식도 질환이다. 식도평활근종은 식도근층에서 유래한 벽내 종양이 대부분을 차지하지만, 점막근층에서 유래하여 식도강내 육경을 가진 폴립과 유사한 형도 약 1%의 빈도로 드물게 보고된다. 최근에 30세 남자환자가 연하곤란을 주소로 본원에 입원하였다. 방사선학적 검사에서 직경 5cm의 강내 종양이 경부식도에서 발견되었다. 내시경검사에서 종양조직은 정상 점막으로 덮여 있음을 보였다. 좌측 경부절개를 통해 식도 전벽에 종절개를 가한 후 육경성 종양을 성공적으로 적출할 수 있었다. 조직학적 검사에서 식도 평활근종으로 확진되었다. 연하장애 등 합병증없이 술후 회복과정은 순조로웠다.

In 2010, the World Health Organization classified mucin-producing bile duct tumors of the liver into two distinct entities; mucinous cystic neoplasm of the liver (MCN-L) and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the bile duct. We present the case of a patient with MCN-L having a uniquely pedunculated shape. A 32-year-old woman was referred to our institution with a diagnosis of biliary cystic neoplasm. She had undergone left salpingo-oophorectomy for ovarian cancer 15 years ago. Imaging studies showed an 8 cm-sized well defined, multiloculated cystic lesion suggesting a mucinous cystic neoplasm. The cystic mass was pedunculated at the liver capsule and pathologically diagnosed as MCN-L. The mass was resected with partial hepatectomy. The patient recovered uneventfully. She was discharged 7 days postoperatively. The patient has been doing well for 6 months after the operation. The patient will be followed up annually because of the favorable postresection prognosis of MCN-L.

Inflammatory pseudotumor (IPT) is a rare benign tumor of unknown etiology that can occur in almost any organ system. It has neoplastic features such as local recurrence, invasive growth, and vascular invasion, leading to the possibility of malignant sarcomatous changes. The clinical presentations of colonic IPT may include abdominal pain, anemia, a palpable mass, and intestinal obstruction. A few cases of colonic IPT have been reported, but colonic IPT with pedunculated morphology is very rare. Furthermore, since it can mimic malignant polyps, understanding the endoscopic findings of colonic IPT is important for proper treatment. Herein, we present a case of colonic IPT with pseudosarcomatous changes, presenting as a large polyp, mimicking a malignant polyp in the cecum, along with a literature review.

Fibrolipomas are a rare microscopic variant of lipomas, characterized by mature adipose tissue interspersed with dense fibrous connective tissue. These lesions are rarely observed in the head and neck region and represent <0.6% of all benign tumors of the larynx and hypopharynx. Their clinical presentation depends on the location and size of lesions. Patients present with variable symptoms; however, fibrolipomas of the larynx and hypopharynx are clinically important because these tumors can cause unpredictable airway obstruction, particularly during general anesthesia induction. We present a case of a hypopharyngeal fibrolipoma in a 61-year-old patient with frequent dyspnea, dysphagia, and muffled voice. Laryngoscopy revealed a well-demarcated pedunculated ovoid mass involving the larynx. We performed laryngomicrosurgery using a carbon dioxide laser for surgical excision and subsequent evaluation confirmed the diagnosis of fibrolipoma. We report a case of hypopharyngeal fibrolipoma, together with a literature review.

A seven-month pregnant 15-year-old Thoroughbred mare presented with acute abdominal pain to Jeju National University Equine Hospital. At presentation, a nasogastric intubation revealed 10 L of gastric reflux; rectal palpation and ultrasound revealed dilated loops and thickening of the walls of the small intestine. An exploratory laparotomy revealed strangulation of the small intestine due to a large abdominal mass. The mass was double-ligated and resected blindly due to the short pedicle. An enterectomy was not performed as intestinal motility was detected following the mass removal. Histopathological examination confirmed that the mass was a lipoma, measuring 24 cm × 16 cm × 16 cm in size. On day 8 post-surgery, the mare was discharged without complications. This case report describes the diagnosis and treatment of strangulation of the small intestine by a pedunculated lipoma, thus providing useful information on lipoma in horses.
