Subcutaneous foreign body causes recurrent problems such as chronic soft tissue swelling and discharge. Wooden foreign body is one of the most common foreign bodies found in subcutaneous region including face, interdigit, and thoracic or abdominal area. This report demonstrated three dogs with wooden foreign body located in subcutaneous region of thoracic wall, abdominal wall and upper eyelid, respectively. Three dogs showed prominent soft tissue swelling adjacent the foreign body. A sinus or drainage tract was developed in two of these dogs. Ultrasonography revealed that hyperechoic linear structure accompanied acoustic shadow in all dogs, and which was diagnosed as a subcutaneous foreign body. Anechoic or hyperechoic fluid and hypoechoic tissue circumscribed the foreign body. A subcutaneous foreign body in case 3 was removed by clamp under ultrasound-guide with sedation. Sinography was performed in case 1 and clarified that the wooden foreign body did not perforate the thoracic wall and there was no direct communication into thoracic cavity. Ultrasonography and sinography can be used to identify the subcutaneous foreign body and evaluate the inflammatory reaction and relationship between foreign body and adjacent structures.

To exanime in vivo tissue reactions of glass fibers, we injected glass fibers to rats subcutaneously. We made fibers of average dimensions of approximately $2{\mu}m$ in diameter and $60{\mu}m$ in length. After instilation of glass fiber we sacrificed rats sequentially at 1, 3 and 6 months. At 1 month after injection of glass fibers, the exposure area turned to yellow color and formed well-demarcated round mass. The average size of the mass was $1\times0.3cm$. Grossly detectable mass was decreased in size at 6 months compared to 1 or 3 months. Microscopically, strong foreign body reaction to glass fibers, inflammation and fibrosis were observed until 6 months. Foreign body reaction was increased up to 3 months, but it was decreased after 6 months. In scanning electron microscope, there was many bundles of glass fibers around the inflammation area, but the size of glass fibers were gradually reduced from 1 month to 6 months. These results suggest that subcutaneous exposure of glass fiber can provoke strong tissue reaction including foreign body granulomas, inflammation and fibrosis. But glass fiber itself did not produce any neoplastic changes.

경막외기종은 자발기종격, 자발기흉, 천식 발작, 기침, 심한 구토, 외상 등에 의해 발생할 수 있지만 기관지 이물에 의한 경우는 드물고, 고환기종 역시 대장내시경, 진단적 복강경, 간생검 등에 의해 발생하는 경우가 보고되고 있지만, 기관지 이물에 의한 경우는 아직까지 국내 외에 보고된 적이 없다. 이에 본 저자들을 기관지 이물에 의해 심한 고환기종 및 경막외기종, 기종격, 기흉이 발생한 18개월된 남아에 대해 보고하는 바이다.

An eight-year-old, 3.4 kg, spayed female poodle dog was referred to Gyeongsang National University Animal Medical Center with obstinate bilateral retroperitoneal subcutaneous abscess. The medical history revealed ovariohysterectomy (OHE), lipoma, and mammary gland tumor excision performed two years ago. The dog presented with left retroperitoneal subcutaneous abscess discharge five months back and was treated by abscess drainage and antibiotics in a local veterinary hospital, but a relapse was reported on discontinuing antibiotics. On physical examination, the dog was febrile (40℃) and both retroperitoneal masses showed typical inflammatory reaction and purulent discharge. On serum chemistry analysis, hyperproteinemia, hyperglobulinemia, and elevated levels of C-reactive protein were observed. Cytologic examination showed degenerative neutrophils and phagocytic macrophages. Radiological examination revealed encapsulated hypoechoic subcutaneous masses in bilateral abdominal flank and the left flank mass was connected with the caudal pole of left kidney through fistula. Based on the diagnostic examination, exploratory celiotomy was recommended and left nephrectomy, and resection of bilateral masses were performed. During procedure, fistula between caudal pole of left kidney and left subcutaneous abscess was detected and suture material was identified. Resected tissue was histologically examined and diagnosed as suppurative abscess caused by the suture material. This case report describes chronic suppurative foreign body reaction including caudal pole of left kidney and bilateral retroperitoneal subcutaneous masses induced by the suture material used in OHE two years ago and the necessity of computed tomography examination to identify character of mass and extent of surgical resection.

Human cysticercosis is an infestation with C. cellulosae, the larval stage of the tapeworm T. solium. It prevails in regions of poverty and where personal hygiene is poor. They can lodge in almost any tissue, but cysticerci are most frequently found in brain, skeletal muscle, subcutaneous tissues. We experienced a 41-year old male with $5{\times}12cm$ sized movable non tender brownish hard mass at lateral abdominal wall. The laboratory study didn't show any specific symptoms except peripheral blood eosinophilia and positive parasite ELISA screen for cysticercosis. The ultrasonogram revealed multiple ill-defined mixed echoic inflamatory lesion. Excisied cyst showed multiple severe foul-odor gelatinous subcutaneous mass. Microscopic examination disclosed necrotic body with foreign body reaction, massive eosinophilia and dead parasitic organism, compatible with cysticercosis. There was no evidence of recurrence during 12 months follow-up.

Sometimes a pilomatrixoma on upper neck can be misdiagnosed as primary salivary gland tumor, skin adnexal tumor or metastatic carcinoma. On fine needle aspiration cytology(FNAC), characteristic features are ghost cells, basaloid cells, and calcium deposits, among which presence of ghost cells seems to be the key to recognize it. Here we present a cytologically misdiagnosed case of pilomatrixoma. A 32-year-old man presented a subcutaneous mass on the right posterior neck. It has grown slowly for 1 year, and was nontender, well circumscribed, hard, and movable mass. An Initial FNAC yielded only monomorphic population of highly mitotic basaloid cells, without anucleated ghost cells, chronic inflammatory cells or foreign-body giant cells, suggestive of a poorly differentiated carcinoma. However, that was inconsistent with patient's clinical findings. For further correct diagnosis, FNAC was repeated, which yielded the basaloid cells and foreign-body giant cells. The diagnosis of pilomatrixoma could be made and the mass was excised. This case demonstrates that the pilomatrixoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of subcutaneous aspirates containing not ghost cells but a dominant population of basaloid cells.

식도이물은 식도질환 중에서 우리가 쉽게 경험할 수 있는 질환 중의 하나로써 대부분의 경우에 있어서는 식도경에 의한 이물의 적출로써 별다른 문제없이 치유된다. 허나 드물게 식도천공, 객도주위농양, 종격동염, 기흉, 농흉, 폐농양 및 피하기종 등과 같은 합병증이 병발하기도 하며 이 때 조기에 진단하여 신속한 처치를 하지 않으면 생명을 위협하여 불행한 결과를 초래하는 경우가 발생하기도 한다. 이물에 의한 식도천공은 그것이 날카로운 금속성 물질 혹은 골편이거나 장기간 체류함에 따라 식도점막에 괴사를 일으키는 경우에 발생한다. 최근에 저자들은 식도에서 예리한 생선뼈를 제거한 후에 식도주위 농양이 발생한 환자를 경부 종격절제술로 배농한 후에 지속적인 세척을 시행함으로써 좋은 결과를 얻었기에 이를 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

식도이물은 이비인후과 영역에서 흔히 볼 수 있는 질환으로서 국내외를 막론하고 수많은 보고가 있으며 특히 유소아에 있어서 가장 많은 이물로는 주화라는 사실도 대부분의 보고자와 일치하는 것은 자타가 공인하는 사실이라고 하겠다. 그런데 특별한 경우를 제외하고는 이 주화로 인하여 합병증을 일으키는 경우는 별로 많지 않으며 간혹 유아에서 호흡곤란을 초래하여 기도이물과 혼동하기 쉬운 경우가 있다. 저자들은 최근에 만 1세된 여아에서 유아에게서는 보기드문 생선뼈가 식도 제1 협착부에 5일간 개재되어 있으면서 연하곤란, 흡기성 호흡곤란 및 발열을 주소로 래원 하였으나 엑스선검사로 피하기종, 식도주위농양, 종격동기종, 종격동염 및 폐확장부전증의 병발이 확인되어 불행한 결과를 초래한 보기드문 1례를 경험하였기에 문헌적 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

충남대학교병원에서 1980년7월부터 1995년 8월까지 경험한 식도이물 10례를 수술 치료하였다. 나이는 25 세에서 71세로, 평균 나이는 45.3세였고 남녀의 비는 6:4였다 가장 흔한 증상은 연하곤란, 발열, 이물감, 경부 동통이였다. 이물질은 생선뼈 3례였고, 거품 약포장지가 2례였고, 맥주병 마개,욕조 물마개, 깨진 사발 조각, 닭고기, 콩이 각각 1례였다. 진단은 수용성 식도 조영제와 식도 내시경을 이용하였다. 10례중 2례에서는 과거에 가성소다 섭취로 인해 식도 협착이 있었다. 1례에서는 정신과적 문제가 있었다. 식도이물은 모두 수술적 처치로 제거하였다 5례에서는 경부식도절게술을 시행하였고 1례는 우측 개흉술 을, 1례는 개복하여 위를 통해 위관을 역류성으로 통과 제거하였으며, 2례는 경부농양이 있어 절개후 배농하 였다. 3례는 수술 후 누출이 있었으나 수술치료없이 보존적 요법으로 호전되었으며,1례는 일시적인 애성이 있 었다. 1례는 외상성 기흉이 발생하여 폐쇄적 홉관 삽관술로 치료하였다. 수술 사망자는 없었다.

The case report of migrating ingested fish bone presenting as an unresolving inflamed neck mass is rare. The diagnosis must be suspected in a patient with an unresolving inflamed cutaneous lesion, especially one with a punctum, the tenderness of the lesion elicited on swallowing and the presence of a palpable subcutaneous neck mass. In such a patient, a history of recent foreign body ingestion must be actively sought. An accurate early diagnosis of this easily treatable condition is desirable because it could avert unnecessary delays, inconveniences, anxiety, costs, and surgery. The authors experienced a case of lateral neck mass resulting from the migration of a fish bone which was successfully removed by surgical exploration and made a report with a review of literature.
