Purpose: To emphasize the importance of considering tuberculosis in atypical cases of foot and ankle by reporting clinical results of those cases. Materials and Methods: Seven cases which were diagnosed as tuberculosis around foot and ankle from March 1996 to June 2007 were included. We reviewed initial impressions, the time to be diagnosed, clinical symptoms, laboratory findings, radiological findings and the clinical results and complications. Results: We followed up at least 6 months ($6{\sim}24$ months) after surgery in all cases. Initially 2 cases had been diagnosed as cellulitis, 4 cases as chronic osteomyelitis, and 1 case as an ankle instability. Tuberculosis was diagnosed after biopsy in all cases. Mean duration of symptom was 15 months ($6{\sim}36$ months) except in infants. There were various radiologic manifestations such as osteopenia, bony erosion or destruction and cystic changes. Symptoms were relieved in all cases within 4 months with chemotherapy followed by surgical biopsy, except one ankle which had been misdiagnosed as ankle instability and joint destruction was developed after modified Brostrom surgery. Conclusion: It is important to perform a surgical biopsy for diagnosis and proper management even with a faint suspicion on tuberculosis in foot and ankle. And in case of need, when surgical biopsy is performed, curettage procedure may help to improve clinical result.

Keratoacanthoma is a benign, self-limited epithelial lesion that closely resembles Squamous cell carcinoma(SCC). Keratoacanthoma occur primarily exposed skin in male patients over 45 years of ages. although etiology is unknown, sunlight, genetic, and human papillomavirus factor have been considered. in clinical feature, rapid enlargement occurs over 4$\sim$8 weeks, resulting ultimately in a hemispheric, firm, elevated, asymptomatic nodule that contains a central plug of keratin. When fully developed, the keratoacanthoma contains a core of keratin surrounded by a concentric collar of raised skin. Over the next 4$\sim$8 weeks, static lesion persists. Then undergoes spontaneous regression over the next 6$\sim$8weeks period by expulsion of the keratin core with resorption of the mass. In histologic feature, Keratoacanthoma consists of hyperplastic squamous epithelium growing into the underlying connective tissue. The surface is covered by a thickened layer of parakeratin with central plugging. Epithelium cell shows dysplastic features and the margins the normal adjacent epithelium is elevated. The differential diagnosis includes SCC. Keratoacanthoma present as a exophytic lesion with horny keratin occupying a depression on the top of the lesion, persists static period and undergoes rapid growth compared with SCC. Keratoacanthoma is usually treated by surgical excision or curettage of the base, spontaneous regression does not occur in every case. A 60 years old male who present facial lesion visit our hospital and surgical excision was done. Biopsy result was keratoacanthoma. We report case with review of literatures.

Intramuscular injection(IM) into the gluteal muscles is a common route of medication, but may lead to complications. A retrospective review of 32 patients who required surgical treatment for local complications of buttock injections in children was made at the Taegu Fatima Hospital during a seven-year nine-month period (March 1990 to December 1997). Local complications included acute inflammation, cellulitis and abscess(71.9 %), and fat necrosis(21.9 %), and injection granuloma(6.2 %). Over the half of injections were on the upper and outer quadrant of the buttock, but the other 43.7 % were in the upper and inner or lower and outer quadrant which are considered unsuitable sites for intramuscular injection. The majority of complications developed within fat tissue(90.6 %) rather than within muscle(9.4 %). Two-thirds of the patients were under 2 years of age, this suggests that it is technically difficult to accurately administer IM injections in small children because muscle mass is smaller compared to subcutaneous. In addition subcutaneous fat is more susceptible to chemical irritation. Staph. aureus was the predominant organism, isolated in 84.6 % of the patients with abscesses. Treatment consisted of needle aspiration, incision and drainage, curettage, or surgical excision. In conclusion, the major factor that contributes to complications following IM of the buttock appears to be the inadvertent intrafat rather than of IM injection. Accurate injection into the muscles based on a knowledge of pelvic anatomy as well as the potential complications is necessary to prevent complications.

Chondroblastoma was introduced as a rare benign cartilaginous neoplasm by Codman in 1931. It described by Jaffe and Lichtenstein in 1942 as a benign cartilaginous neoplasm that represents less than 1% of all primary bone tumor. It commonly arises in the epiphysis of long bone but, it occurs very rare in temporal area. Sometimes, microscopic identification of chondroblastoma and giant cell granuloma is difficult. An immunohistochemical studies was performed for S-100 protein which is useful in arriving at the correct diagnosis. Treatment modalities are total curettage, en-bloc excision, irradiation, and radiation combined with surgical excision. But radiation therapy was controversial. We describe a case of chondroblastoma which was arisen in the right temporal area and the recurrence that was treated by surgical excision and radiation therapy with review of literature.

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is characterized by proliferation of histiocyte-like cells (Langerhans cell histiocytes) with characteristic Birbeck granules, accompanied by other inflammatory cells. Treatments of LCH include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. One of the representative forms of chemotherapy is intralesional injection of steroids. Surgical treatment in the form of simple excision, curettage, or even ostectomy can be performed depending on the extent of involvement. Radiotherapy is suggested in case of local recurrence, or a widespread lesion. This article shows the case of repetitively recurrent LCH of a 56-year-old man who had been through surgical excision and had to have marginal mandibulectomy and radiotherapy when the disease recurred. After the first recurrence occurred, lesions involved the extensive part of the mandible causing pathologic fracture, so partial mandibular bone resection was performed from the right molar area to the left molar area followed by the excision of the surrounding infected soft tissues. The resected mandibular bone was reconstructed with a segment of fibula osteomyocutaneous free flap and overdenture prosthesis supported by osseointegrated implants.

The extraction of an impacted third molar tooth is associated with many complications during the procedure and postoperative care. These complications include bleeding, swelling, pain, infection, as well as root fracture, proximal tooth injury, alveolar bone fracture, lingual nerve and inferior alveolar nerve injury etc. With the exception of a fractured root dislocation in the submandibular space, no direct submandibular gland injury related to extraction surgery has been reported until now. A 40 year old man visited the department of oromaxillofacial surgery at Yeouido St. Mary's Hospital for an extraction of the right mandible third molar. A partial third molar impaction was diagnosed by a clinical and radiographic examination. A surgical tooth extraction was practiced including buccal cortical bone osteotomy. During socket curettage, an encapsulated cyst-like lesion and a verified $3{\times}3\;cm$ neoplasm in the apically lingual direction were found during process of dissection. A biopsy confirmed that the neoplasm involved the submandibular gland and nerve trunk. This unusual anatomical organ injury during the surgical tooth extraction procedure is reported as a new complication during impacted third molar extraction.

Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia(ALHE) is an uncommon, benign vascular proliferation with the background of a stroma which is heavily infiltrated by lymphocytes and eosinophils and includes lymphatic follicles with prominent germinal centers. ALHE primarily involves the skin and subcutis in head and neck as various forms of nodules. There has been considerable controversy about the relationship between ALHE and Kimura's disease. Kimura's disease, originally reported by Kimura et el., is an unusual granulation with proliferation of lymphoid tissue. Wells and Whimster published the first report describing a condition that resembled Kimura's disease and designated it as ALHE. For a time being two lesions are thought to be same lesion, but recently they are considered as two different entities, histopathologically. The cause of this disease remains unknown, and physicians have used a variety of treatment modalities including cryosurgery, steriod therapy, electrodesiccation, curettage, radiotherapy, laser therapy and surgical excision. But any treatment modality leaves problem of recurrence because the lesion is not well encapsulated. Being poorly encapsulated, the lesion's remnants are apt to be left and this markes some problems : recurrence and possible adjacent organ injury. In this case we misdiagnosed the lesion as well encapsulated benign mass. We performed excisional biopsy and experienced prolonged operation time and unwanted mentalis muscle injury. We think that the importance of poor encapsulation of ALHE should be stressed. So we report our experience with literature review.
