Malignant pilomatricoma (pilomatrical carcinoma) is a rare, locally occurring malignant tumor with a high rate of recurrence in the case of incomplete excision. This tumor has two characteristics. First, recurrences of pilomatrical carcinoma are common; second, distant metastasis is rare, but if it occurs, it is very fatal. It has characteristic features of high mitotic counts, cellular atypia, and local invasion. Although fine needle aspiration and excisional biopsy could help to confirm this tumor diagnosis, pathologic findings are critical. Pilomatricomas have some characteristic features in histological aspect, such as epithelial islands of basaloid cells and shadow cells or ghost cell. Also, various types of immunohistochemical staining are used to confirm the diagnosis. Despite the lack of clear surgical criteria, treatment is a wide local excision with histologically clear resection margins with or without adjuvant radiotherapy.

Congenital midline cervical cleft is a rare congenital disease. The disease is often misdiagnosed as a branchial cleft deformity, thyroglossal duct cyst, or other skin diseases. It has the following characteristics: skin defect at the midline of the anterior neck, a skin tag at the upper end of the lesion, and a blind sinus tract at the caudal aspect with or without mucoid discharge. Treatment is usually for aesthetic purposes; therefore, early surgical en bloc resection with Z-plasty or W-plasty is recommended to reduce recurrence and scar formation.

Poroid hidradenoma has both features of hidradenoma and poroma. The histological hidradenoma framework consisting of solid and cystic components, and the presence of poroid and cuticular cells resembling a poroid neoplasm. Despite transforming into malignant neoplasm only in < 1% of cases, its histological characteristics may resemble those of malignant neoplasms. Although the risk of malignant transformation is very low, surgical excision is recommended to prevent growth and/or recurrence. To date, very few cases of poroid hidradenoma have been reported in the literature. Herein, we present a case of poroid hidradenoma on the scalp of a 74-year-old woman.

Fractures of the zygoma are rarely encountered in pediatric patients. This report presents a case of a 3-year-old child who presented with a vertically split fracture of the marginal tubercle of the zygoma. The marginal tubercle, a bony portion present on the posterior border of the frontal process, assists in attaching the temporalis fascia. This patient was treated surgically with bony fixation using tissue glue. To the best of our knowledge, no cases of fracture of the marginal tubercle of the zygoma have been reported in the literature. Fractures of the marginal tubercle of the zygoma in pediatric patients may be overlooked because of their anatomic location and the musculoskeletal characteristics of these patients. Here, we discuss the clinical features of marginal tubercle fractures of the zygoma.

This study was performed to verify the craniofacial skeletal characteristics in anterior openbite group, in contrast to normal occlusion group, and also to find out, vertical factors which shows, correlate to the amount of anterior openbite. 21 individuals, including 10 males and 11 females, without orthodontic treatment history and anterior - posterior skeletal malrelationships, were selected and analyzed basic morphology and vertical factors, using standard lateral cephalogram. The obtained results as follows: 1. Comparison of anterior open-bite group with normal occlusion group using Moyers analysis. a) In basis morphologic analysis, Ba-SE-Me was lesser and Ba-SE-Mn. P. and Mn.P/A-B were greater in both sexes of anterior openbite group than in normal occlusion group. b) In angle measurements of vertical analysis, PMV/Pal. P. was lesser in male anterior openbite group and PMV/Occ. P. and PMV/Mn. P. were greater in both sexes of anterior openbite group than in normal occlusion group. c) In height ratio of vertical analysis, ATFH/PTFH and ALFH/ATFH were greater in both sexes of anterior openbite group than in normal occlusion group. 2. The amount of anterior openbite was correlated with PMV/Occ. P. and PMV/Mn. P.

This study was designed to investigate the difference between craniofacial characteristics of the normal occlusion and those of Class II Div. 1 malocclusion. The sample was divided into 2 groups, the 50 subjects of Normal occlusion, the 50 subjects of Class II Div. 1 malocclusion in both sexes. Both groups aged from 11 to 14 years. The results of this study were as follows; 1. No significant difference was observed in cranial base shape between both groups, but anterior cranial base size of Class II Div. 1 malocclusion group was larger than that of normal group. 2. No significant difference in antero-posterior position of Maxilla to cranial base was founded between both groups. 3. No difference in Mandibular shapes and Mandibular plane angles to the cranial base was observed between Class II Div. 1 malocclusion and normal occlusion, but Mandibular position in Class II Div. 1 malocclusion was posterior to that of normal group. 4. Antero-posterior relationship of Maxilla and Mandible was significant difference between both groups, but vertical relationship of those was no difference. 5. Maxillary incisor position to cranial base of Class II Div. 1 malocclusion was anteior to normal occlusion, and Maxillary posterior teeth was posterior. Mandibular incisor and mandibular posterior teeth position was no difference. 6. Upper and lower lip position to esthetic line of Class II Div. 1 malocclusion was anterior to normal occlusion.

Background: Various substances are currently being used for cosmetic or postsurgical reconstruction reasons. Injecting of various materials into the face may provoke inflammatory or granulomatous reactions, infection and tissue necrosis. Among these reactions are foreign body granulomas. This study aims to describe the clinical characteristics of and therapeutic approaches used in patients with facial foreign body granulomas caused by the injection of various substances. Methods: From 2007 to 2020, a total of 64 patients visited our hospital due to inflammatory signs, palpable masses or surface irregularities. We reviewed patient characteristics, type of injected material, medical history and treatment outcomes. The treatment results were scored with patient satisfaction and statistical analysis of the treatment period was performed. Results: Most patients underwent conservative treatment followed by surgical treatment because of persistent symptoms; one patient did not require surgery. All patients reported good treatment results and satisfaction. The earlier the surgical treatment was performed, the shorter the treatment period and the higher patient satisfaction scoring. Conclusion: Granulomatous changes to the face are an emerging concern in various cosmetic procedures and surgeries, including fillers, silicone implants and autologous fat injections. Our findings strongly suggest that patient symptoms require accurate diagnosis and surgical treatment.

Reconstructive surgery in the management of head and neck cancer has evolved to include structure-specific approaches in which organ-specific treatment algorithms help optimize outcomes. Tongue cancer management and reconstruction are surgical challenges for which well-executed reconstructive plans should be completed promptly to avoid delaying any subsequently planned oncologic treatment. Crucial considerations in tongue cancer resection are the significant functional morbidity associated with surgical defects, particularly in terms of speech and swallowing, and the consequent negative impact on patients' quality of life. With the evolution of microsurgical techniques and the development of the perforator flap concept, flap options can be tailored to the characteristics of various tongue defects. This has allowed the implementation of pliable flaps that can help restore tongue mobility and yield subsequent functional outcomes. Using an evolutional framework, we present this series of reviews related to tongue reconstruction. The first part of the review summarizes flap options and flap-related factors, such as volume and tissue characteristics. Related functional aspects are also presented, including tongue mobility, speech, and swallowing, as well as ways to evaluate and optimize these outcomes.

치아크기가 전반적으로 클 때 어떤 환자에서는 전돌이 나타나는 반면, 어떤 환자에서는 치아밀집 현상이 나타난다. 본 연구는 치아전돌자와 치아밀집자 간의 측모두부방사선규격사진상의 특징을 비교함으로써 치아전돌 또는 치아밀집발생 원인을 규명하기 위하여 시행되었다. 치아크기가 정상에 비하여 크면서 제1급 구치관계를 가지는 치아전돌자 29명, 치아밀집자 22명을 선정한 후 중절치부터 제1대구치까지 치아크기를 비교하는 한편, 측모두부방사선규격사진에서 투사도를 작성하고 골격형태, 설골 및 절치 위치를 나타내는 여러 가지 계측치를 설정하고 치아전돌자와 치아밀집자 양 군 간의 비교분석을 시행하였다. 연구 결과 본 연구에서 선정된 치아전돌자와 치아밀집자의 치아크기는 양 군 간에 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았으며, 골격형태를 나타내는 계측항목 중 S-N, A'-Ptm', SNA, ANB, 그리고 facial convexity에서 치아전돌자가 통계적으로 유의한 큰 값을 보였다. 또한 설골의 수직위치를 나타내는 hy-PP와 hy-MP는 치아전돌자에서 통계적으로 더 작게, 설골의 전후방 위치를 나타내는 hy'-Go는 치아전돌자에서 통계적으로 더 크게 나타났다. 이상의 결과는 치아전돌자가 치아밀집자에 비해 골격적으로는 상악전돌 경향을 보이고 설골의 위치는 전방 또는 전상방에 위치하고 있어 이러한 차이가 치아전돌 또는 치아밀집 결정과 관련이 있음을 시사하였다.
