Extraskeletal osteochondroma is an uncommon benign tumor that arises in soft tissues lacking continuity with an adjacent bone and joint. Due to similar histopathological findings, extraskeletal osteochondroma is often misdiagnosed for a conventional osteochondroma, the most common benign tumor that arises from the epiphyseal plates of long bones. The pathogenesis of extraskeletal osteochondroma is unclear, but metaplasia of synovial mesenchymal tissue is the best supported etiology. The most common sites of extraskeletal osteochondroma are the hands and feet, and it is rarely found in the maxillofacial area. We present a case of a two-year-old boy with a giant extraskeletal osteochondroma that developed in the masticatory space of the mandible along with a review of the relevant literature.

Ewing's sarcoma usually arises from skeletal bone, but rarely may have an extraskeletal origin. However, Ewing's sarcoma that originates around the spinal column, especially, the intradural extramedullary type is extremely rare. We report a rare case of primary intraspinal extraskeletal Ewing's sarcoma.

Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma is an unusual soft tissue sarcoma with distinctive histologic features. It once was called chordoid sarcoma because it resembles chordoma histologically. The lesion has been shown to be of chondroblastic origin. This lesion shown to have ultrastructural and molecular features distinct from that of myxoid chondrosarcoma of bone. We report a case of extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma in forefoot.

유잉육종계열의 종양은 뼈와 연부조직에 발생하는 악성 소원형청색세포종양이다. 골격외 유잉씨 육종은 드문 악성 종양으로 연부조직에 발생한 유잉육종의 한 형태이며, 소아와 젊은 성인에서 호발한다. 흉폐부위에 발생한 골격외 유잉씨 육종은 임상적으로 만져지는 종괴나 통증으로 나타난다. 골격외 유잉씨 육종이 앞가슴벽을 침범한 경우에는 유방 종괴로 나타날 수 있으나, 이러한 보고는 드물다. 저자들은 22세 여성에서 유방 종괴로 나타난 앞가슴벽에 발생한 유잉씨 육종의 증례를 보고한다. 초기의 초음파에서 이 거대 종괴는 유방에서 발생한 종괴로 오인되었으나, 추가적인 전산화단층촬영 및 자기공명영상에서 종괴는 흉벽에서 기원하였음을 알 수 있었다. 영상의학과 의사는 골격외 유잉씨 육종의 영상 소견을 알고, 흉벽의 병변이 임상적으로 유방 병변으로 오인될 수 있음을 이해하는 것이 중요하다.

저자들은 영남대학교 의과대학 부속병원에서 간엽성 연골육종으로 진단받은 3례를 대상으로 임상 병리학적 특징을 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 환장의 연령은 25세에서 32세였고 평균연령은 28세였다. 종양의 평균 크기는 7.3cm였다. 조직학적으로 종괴는 이형성의 소세포로 구성된 고밀도의 부분과 분화가 좋은 초자양의 연골 조직이 섞여 있었다. 3례에서 종양 세포들은 S-100단백과 NSE에 양성이었고 desmin에 모두 음성이었다.

Purpose: Coverage of full-thickness large flank defect is a challenging procedure for plastic surgeons. Some authors have reported external oblique turnover muscle flap with skin grafting, inferiorly based rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flap, and two independent pedicled perforator flaps for flank reconstruction. But these flaps can cover only certain portions of the flank and may not be helpful for larger or more lateral defects. We report a case of large flank defect after resection of extraskeletal Ewing's sarcoma which is successfully reconstructed with reverse latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap. Methods: A 24-year-old male patient had $13.0{\times}7.0{\times}14.0$ cm sized Ewing's sarcoma on his right flank area. Department of chest surgery and general surgery operation team resected the mass with 5.0 cm safety margin. Tenth, eleventh and twelfth ribs, latissimus dorsi muscle, internal and external oblique muscles and peritoneum were partially resected. The peritoneal defect was repaired with double layer of Prolene mesh by general surgeons. $24{\times}25$ cm sized soft tissue defect was noted and the authors designed reverse latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap with $21{\times}10$ cm sized skin island on right back area. To achieve sufficient arc of rotation, the cephalic border of the origin of latissimus dorsi muscle was divided, and during this procedure, ninth intercostal vessels were also divided. The thoracodorsal vessels were ligated for 15 minutes before divided to validate sufficient vascular supply of the flap by intercostal arteries. Results: Mild congestion was found on distal portion of the skin island on the next day of operation but improved in two days with conservative management. Stitches were removed in postoperative 3 weeks. The flap was totally viable. Conclusion: The authors reconstructed large soft tissue defect on right flank area successfully with reverse latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap even though ninth intercostal vessel that partially nourishes the flap was divided. The reverse latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap can be used for coverage of large soft tissue defects on flank area as well as lower back area.
