기관지기원낭종은 primitive foregut의 발생학적 이상에 의해 형성되는 드문 질환이며, 주로 폐실질과 종격동에 발생한다. 피부나 피하조직에서 발생한 기관지기원낭종은 흔하지 않으며, 이 중 견갑부에 발생한 것은 매우 드문 것으로 알려져 있다. 저자들은 20개월 된 남아의 좌측 견갑부에 발생한 기관지지원 낭종 1예를 보고하고자 한다. 환아는 피부과에서 절개 생검 및 소파술을 시행 받았고, 표피 낭종으로 진단되었다. 하지만 상흔 치유 도중 추가적인 낭성 종괴가 촉진되었다. MRI상 피하조직에 경계가 분명한 낭성 종괴가 관찰되었다. 절제된 낭종은 점액세포를 동반하는 pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium로 피복되어 있었으며, 기관지기원낭종으로 진단되었다.

1살령 Goffin cockatoo (Cacatua goffini)가 경부 주변의 부드러운 무통성의 풍선 모양 종괴를 주증으로 내원 하였다. 문진과 신체 검사를 통해 두경부 기낭의 외상에 의한 피하 기종으로 진단하였으며, 이를 방사선 검사로 확인 하였다. 피하 탭이 성공적이지 못하여, 변경된 시린지를 이용한 스텐트를 장착하였다. 장착 2주 간 부작용은 나타나지 않았으며 스텐트의 수술적 제거 후, 피하 기종은 소실되었다.

Purpose: Morel - Lavallee lesions is post - traumatic effusion at subcutaneous layer. Early management of Morel - Lavallee lesion is percutaneous drainage and compression. Surgical excision is recommended for cases that are chronic. Method: 41 - year old male patient had slow growing, painful mass on left thigh, which has been present for 3 years. He had a history of blunt trauma 3 years ago. Computed tomography presented $10{\times}10{\times}5cm$ sized cystic mass on left thigh, between subcutaneous fat layer and muscle fascia layer. The mass was surgically removed and biopsy was performed. Result: Histopathological examination shows chronic inflammation and fibrotic change. After 6 month follow - up period, postoperative course was uneventful. Conclusion: We performed surgical excision of Morel - Lavalle lesion in a patient who had trauma 3 years ago. We report a case of Morel - Lavallee lesion with the review of the literatures.

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.

Objective: Progesterone application for luteal phase support is a well-established concept in in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment. Water-soluble subcutaneous progesterone injections have shown pregnancy rates equivalent to those observed in patients receiving vaginal administration in randomized controlled trials. Our study aimed to investigate whether the results from those pivotal trials could be reproduced in daily clinical practice in an unselected patient population. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study in non-standardized daily clinical practice, we compared 273 IVF cycles from 195 women undergoing IVF at our center for luteal phase support with vaginal administration of 200 mg of micronized progesterone three times daily or subcutaneous injection of 25 mg of progesterone per day. Results: Various patient characteristics including age, weight, height, number of oocytes, and body mass index were similar between both groups. We observed no significant differences in the clinical pregnancy rate (CPR) per treatment cycle between the subcutaneous (39.9%) and vaginal group (36.5%) (p=0.630). Covariate analysis showed significant correlations of the number of transferred embryos and the total dosage of stimulation medication with the CPR. However, after adjustment of the CPR for these covariates using a regression model, no significant difference was observed between the two groups (odds ratio, 0.956; 95% confidence interval, 0.512-1.786; p=0.888). Conclusion: In agreement with randomized controlled trials in study populations with strict selection criteria, our study determined that subcutaneous progesterone was equally effective as vaginally applied progesterone in daily clinical practice in an unselected patient population.

Purpose: Although insulin is usually injected into the abdominal subcutaneous fat, in pregnancy women tend to avoid abdominal injections due to concern about fetal damage. Prior studies have been limited to only measuring skin-subcutaneous fat thickness (S-ScFT) at one site at specific pregnancy points. This study aimed to measure S-ScFT across several abdominal sites and over the gestational period in Korean pregnant women. This can identify which site would be relatively safe for subcutaneous injection during pregnancy. Methods: Healthy women over 24 weeks of pregnancy in Korea were invited to voluntarily participate in this descriptive study. For the 142 women, S-ScFT of 12 sites in the abdomen were measured by ultrasound, several times over the pregnancy. Each incidence was treated as a case and a total of 262 cases were analyzed. Results: The mean S-ScFT during pregnancy was 1.14±0.47 cm (1.25±0.54 cm at 24⁺⁰-27⁺⁶ weeks; 1.17±0.48 cm at 28⁺⁰-31⁺⁶ weeks; 1.09+0.40 cm at 32⁺⁰-35⁺⁶ weeks; and 1.06±0.47 cm at 36⁺⁰-40 weeks of pregnancy). Most S-ScFT were thicker than 10 mm. But S-ScFTs in the lateral abdomen and some sites were suboptimal (<6 mm), especially in the pre-pregnancy underweight body mass index group, who had a high rate of suboptimal thickness (27.1% overall and 33.9% in the lateral side). Conclusion: The whole abdomen seems to be appropriate for subcutaneous injection in most Korean women during pregnancy, with a 4 to 5-mm short needle. However, for the lateral abdomen, making the skin fold might be needed for fetal safety.

본 연구는 임신초기 초음파에 의해 측정된 임산부의 복부 피하지방두께(Abdominal Subcutaneous Fat Thickness; ASFT)와 임신중기 발현되는 임신성당뇨(Gestational Diabetes Mellitus; GDM)와의 연관성을 확인하고 GDM 예측을 위한 ASFT의 기준을 알아보고자 하였다. 286명의 임산부를 대상으로 임신초기 ASFT를 측정한 후 임신중기 GDM 선별검사(50 g OGTT) 140 mg/dL 이상을 고위험군으로 산정하고 산모연령, 임신 전 체질량지수, 임신 중 체중증가량과 함께 비교 분석하였다. ROC 곡선분석을 이용하여 GDM 예측을 위한 ASFT의 cut-off value를 결정하였다. 산모연령, 임신 중 체중증가량은 임신중기 GDM과 관련성이 없었으며, 임신 전 체질량지수와 임신초기 ASFT는 정상군과 GDM 고위험군에서 의미있는 차이를 보였다. GDM 예측을 위한 ASFT의 cut-off value는 2.23 cm(AUC 0.913, Sensitivity 76.19%, Specificity 93.72%)로 결정하였다. 임신초기 초음파로 측정된 ASFT는 임신중기 GDM 예측을 위한 중요한 지표로 유용하게 평가되었다. 따라서 ASFT는 GDM을 조기에 인식하는데 있어서 보조적인 진단지표로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

A neutered male Maltese, 11-year-old, presented for hard mass at right flank suddenly. Patient vomited and had anorexia before the presentation, but it is improved after. On blood tests, there were no remarkable findings. On physical examination, firm mass ($2.9{\times}2.6cm$, firm) was detected. No remarkable finding was shown in radiography except for right upper-medial abdominal subcutaneous soft tissue mass. Punch biopsy was performed for histopathologic examination. During the punch biopsy, ice-cream stick ($11.5{\times}1.2cm$) appeared from the hole on right flank. Additionally gastric perforation was detected on ultrasonography. Emergency surgery was performed for the perforation. On histiopathologic examination of the mass, marked, diffuse, neutrophilic and mild eosinophilic dermatitis/cellulitis with no infectious agents was observed.

A 5-month-old castrated male Bichon $Fris{\acute{e}}$ was presented with a subcutaneous mass on the occipital region. Anisocytosis, anisokaryosis, and binucleation were observed on the cytology, and the suspected diagnosis was sarcoma. There were no metastatic lesions on radiography or computed tomography. Surgical resection was performed and fibrosarcoma was diagnosed by histopathology and immunohistochemistry. This is a very rare case of a spontaneously occurring subcutaneous fibrosarcoma in a small breed puppy.
