목적 : 임상적으로 수지 사구종으로 의심되는 환자의 수술전 자기 공명 영상을 시행하여, 자기 공명 영상을 이용한 진단의 유용성과 변연 절제술 후의 임상적 결과를 알아보고자 하였다. 연구대상 및 방법 : 수지 사구종을 의심하는 10례를 대상으로 수술전 문진, 이학적 검사, 단순 방사선 검사, 자기 공명 영상(9례)을 시행하였다. 수술적 치료는 변연 절제술을 시행하였으며, 수술후 병리 소견, 수술후 합병증 등을 비교 분석하였다. 결과 : 사구종으로 확진된 10례 중 호소하는 증세는 동통 10례, 압통 9례, 냉온에 대한 민감도 3례, 부종 1례였다. 자기 공명 영상 소견상 T1 강조 영상에서 저신호 강도 3례, 동신호 강도 5례, T2 강조 영상에서 고신호 강도 8례, 그리고 gadolinium 조영 증강된 영상에서는 8례 모두 조영 증가 소견을 보여 주었고, 발생 위치는 횡단면에서 정중부 6례, 외측부 5례, 조갑 외측 추벽 2례, 수지 두수 3례였고, 시상면에서 조갑상 5례, 조갑 기질 5례였다. 수술은 외측 접근법 1례, 조갑을 통한 접근법 9례를 시행하였으며, 모두 변연 절제술을 실시하였다. 수술후 전 예에서 임상 증세는 소실되었으며, 조갑 변형은 1례에서 발견되었으나, 재발은 없었다. 결론 : 수지의 사구종을 진단하는데 임상 증세는 아주 중요하나, 진단이 애매하거나 오랜 기간 동안 증세가 있어온 환자들에게서 비교적 비싼 비용을 지불하더라도 자기 공명 영상을 제한적으로 사용할 경우, 수술전 종물의 정확한 위치 확인 및 진단에 도움을 주는 방법의 하나로 생각한다.

혈관에서 기원되는 종양은 혈관외피 세포로부터 발생되는 종양 혈관외피종과 glomus tumor)관 혈관내피 세포로부터 발생되는 종양(를상피 혈관내피종)의 두가지로 구분된다. 이들은 매우 드물게 발생되며 악성종양의 특성을 가지고 있는데, 폐에서 발생된 경우에는 무증상의 작은 종괴로부터 증상이 있는 커다란 종양 의 형태로 나타난다. 최근 저자들은 단일성의 유상피 혈관내피종과 혈관외피종 각각 1례를 치험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보 고하는 바이다. a Tumors of vascular origin are subdivided into two groups: those composed of pericytes (hemangiopericytoma and glomus tumor), and those composed of endothelial cells(hemangioendothelioma). They are uncommon, potentially malignant tumors, and in the lung, the tumors may present as a small asymptomatic nodule or a large symptomatic lesion. Recently we experienced two cases of solitary pulmonary vascular tumors(epithelioid hemangioendothelioma and hemangiopericytoma), and reviewed them with references.

혼합 종양은 상피세포와 근상피세포로 나타나는 경계가 좋은 종양이며 대게 피부와 침샘에서 발생한다. 연조직에서 발생하는 혼합 종양은 극히 드물다. 이에 따라, 연조직에서 발생한 혼합 종양에 대한 영상의학적 소견들은 영상의학 문헌에서 극히 드물게 언급되었다. 그러므로, 저자는 좌측 2번째 손가락의 통증을 주소로 내원한 65세 여자 환자의 손톱 밑 혼합 종양의 증례를 보고하고자 하며, 영상의학적 소견을 기술하고, 감별 진단들에 대해 논의하고자 한다.

The neuorogenic tumor is known to be originated from neural crest, and the involved cells are Schwann cell, ganglion cell, and paraganglion cell. The Schwannoma, neurofibroma, and malignant schwannoma arise from the schwann cell, ganglioneuroma is from ganglion cell, and carotid body tumor and glomus tumor are originated from paraganglion cell. Authors reviewed thirty-eight patients of the neurogenic tumors in the head and neck, excluding intracranial tumor and Von-Recklinghausen disease, surgically treated at the Department of Surgery, Pusan Paik Hospital from January 1981 to May 1996. Of the 38 cases, 28 cases were schwannoma, 6 cases neurofibroma, 2 cases malignant schwannoma, and 2 cases paraganglioma. These tumors occurred at any age, but the majority of patients occurred in the fourth decade of life. There was female preponderance (M : F=1 : 1. 53) in sex ratio. The lateral cervical region was the most common distribution. 12 cases arose from the anterior triangle of neck, and 12 cases from the posterior triangle of neck. The major nerve origin of tumor could be identified in 30 cases (80%). 11 cases were treated by simple excision, and partial excision was 3 cases. Excision with parotidectomy 1 case, enucleation 11 cases, enucleation with parotidectomy 7 cases, radical neck dissection 1 cases, upper neck dissection 2 cases, suprahyoid dissection 1 case, Caldwell­Luc operation 1 case. The postoperative complications were hoarseness (2 cases), facial palsy (1 case), Homer syndrome (1 case), and hypoesthesia of tongue (1 case).

Purpose: Subungual tumors are a common cause of nail plate deformity, and may be caused by fibrokeratoma, Koene's tumor and glomus tumors. Neurofibromas, either as part of neurofibromatosis or as a solitary tumor are exceptionally rare in the digits. Methods: A 44-year-old man presented with painless onychodystrophy and nail plate elevation of the right thumb due to a small subungual mass that had started growing 3 years ago. Sensory evaluation of the distal phalanx was normal, and no discoloration nor infection signs were seen. The nail plate was extracted under local anesthesia, and the mass was delicately removed without injury to the nail bed. The nail matrix was repaired with primary closure. Results: Histopathology shows a well circumscribed, cellular tumor with myxoid stroma. Tumor cells were S-100 protein positive, and the patient was diagnosed with myxoid neurofibroma. There has been no sign of recurrence to date, 14 months after the operation. Conclusion: Presentation of cutaneous neurofibromas in the digits is an uncommon finding. They may occur as a manifestation of neurofibromatosis or as a solitary tumor. Subungual neurofibromas are exceptionally rare. To our knowledge, there are only ten reports of solitary subungual neurofibroma unrelated to neurofibromatosis to date. We report a rare case of solitary subungual myxoid neurofibroma of the thumb, that was treated through total excision, with preservation of the nail matrix.

Angioleiomyoma is an infrequent benign smooth muscle tumor that arises from smooth muscle cells of arterial or venous walls in the tunica media layer. It would be found in the dermis, the subcutaneous tissue, or the superficial fascia of the anywhere in the body and is most often seen in the lower extremities. The typical lesion is a small, slowly growing, round, but firm and mobile nodule. We report a case of angioleiomyoma located on the anterior aspect of the elbow, which was mistaken for extradigital glomus tumor after history taking, physical examination. With point tenderness and worsening sharp pain in cold exposure for several years, the patient was referred for a further evaluation, and the lesion was 5 mm sized well-circumscribed mass in the anterior elbow with vascular signals on color and power Doppler by ultrasonography and finally diagnosed as angioleiomyoma following complete excision and histological evaluation.

Musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSUS) has newly evolved by the mechanical improvement of the machine over past several years, becoming a part of imaging techniques for the evaluation of variable diseases in the musculoskeletal system. MSUS has proven diagnostic superiority in pathologies including rotator cuff disease of the shoulder, lateral epicondylitis of the elbow, diseases of the peripheral nerve, detection of intra-articular loose bodies and soft tissue foreign bodies, and in evaluating small superficial soft tissue tumors such as ganglion, epidermoid cyst, and glomus tumor. Besides, MSUS is very useful for obtaining tissue or fluid via percutaneous fine needle aspiration and/or biopsy for the histopathologic diagnosis. Combining MSUS with MR would play a great role in the field of the diagnostic imaging of the musculoskeletal system. The MSUS examiner should have the knowledge of cross-sectional anatomy, and of the mechanical and physical properties of ultrasound in order to interpret the ultrasound findings accurately and properly, and to avoid diagnostic errors due to variable artifacts subsequently. The goal of this article is to introduce the capabilities of MSUS in certain kinds of clinical situation and to familiarize the reader with MSUS. For the purpose, author intends to describe this article according not to the disease-, or organ-based, but to the clinical problem-based format.

Objective: Endovascular treatment of cerebrovascular diseases is often challenging due to small caliber, tortuous distal vessels. Several devices and techniques have evolved to overcome these challenges. Recently, a low profile dual lumen microballoon catheter, specifically designed for distal navigation is employed for neurovascular procedures. Due to its recent advent, scarce data is available on clinical utility and safety of Scepter Mini. The aim of this case series is to report our initial experience with Scepter Mini in the management of various cerebrovascular diseases. Methods: All interventional neurovascular cases performed using Scepter Mini between January 2020 till April 2021 were included. Data regarding patient demographics, procedural details and complications was retrospectively collected from patient's electronic medical record and procedure reports. Results: Total twelve embolization procedures were performed in eleven patients, including six brain arteriovenous malformation, two dural arteriovenous fistula, one vein of Galen malformation and three hyper-vascular glomus tumor embolizations. All procedures were successfully performed with adequate penetration of the embolic agent. Complete embolization was performed in six procedures, while intended partial embolization was performed in the rest of procedures. Scepter Mini was solely used in ten procedures, however in the other two embolization procedures it was used as an additional conjunct tool to complete the intended embolization. No balloon related complication was observed in any procedure. Conclusions: Scepter Mini dual lumen microballoon catheter is safe and feasible for delivery of liquid embolic agents for cerebrovascular embolization procedures.
