Objectives : This case report aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of incisional needle therapy in treating facial scars resulting from autoimmune disorder. Methods : A single case of a 29-year-old female patient with facial scars due to systemic sclerosis was treated with incisional needle therapy. The treatment was applied over 14 sessions from February to September 2023. The efficacy of the treatment was evaluated using clinical photographs and the Physician's Global Assessment(PGA). Results : The treatment significantly improved scar appearance and reduced blood vessel visibility. The PGA scores, with an average of 2.66, indicating moderate improvement. Conclusions : Incisional needle therapy demonstrated potential as an effective treatment for scars caused by autoimmune disorders, due to minimal side effects and non-interference with ongoing treatments. It offers a promising alternative to conventional treatments, suggesting a need for further research for wider applications.

Objectives : This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of incisional needle therapy, a type of Korean medicine treatment, on atrophic scars caused by herpes zoster and varicella. Methods : The patients with atrophic scars resulting from herpes zoster and varicella were treated with incisional needle therapy and the effectiveness of the treatment was evaluated with Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) and The Stony Brook Scar Evaluation Score (SBSES). Results : After treatment, all patients demonstrated improvements in PGA and SBSES. The PGA score improved to 3.73±0.40, with SBSES changing from 1.60±0.60 to 4.80±0.80. Conclusions : We suggest that incisional needle therapy demonstrates effectiveness in treating scars resulting from herpes zoster and varicella, indicating its potential as a viable therapeutic option for individuals affected by these conditions.

1988년부터 1999년까지 영남대학교 의과대학 부속병원에서 척삭종으로 진단받은 4례를 대상으로 임상병리학적 특징을 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 환자의 연령은 57세에서 75세였고 평균연령은 63.5세였다. 4례 모두 천미골부에서 발생하였다. 종양의 평균 크기는 9.3cm 였다. 종양은 비교적 경계가 비교적 잘 지워지는 섬유성 격벽에 의해 나뉘어지는 분엽성, 점액성, 젤라틴 모습이었고, 조직학적으로 풍부한 점액성 기질과 거품모양의 공포를 갖는 담공포성 세포가 특정적으로 관찰되었다. 4례(100%)에서 종양세포들은 cytokeratin, EMA와 vimentin에 양성반응을 나타내었고, 1례(25.0%)는 S-100 protein에 양성 반응을 나타내었고, CEA에 대하여 모두 음성 반응이었다.
