As reported in the literature, extraskeletal mesenchymal chondrosarcoma is a rare malignant tumor of soft tissue, and it has a unique, distinctive histologic picture and poor prognosis.The common sites are the orbit, the cranial dura mater, the neck, the thigh, the leg, the chest wall, and the retroperitoneum. Radical excision of the tumor seems to be the primary treatment.We report experience with a very rare case of extraskeletal mesenchymal chondrosarcoma in the posterior mediastinum.

Malignant fibrous histiocytoma is the most common soft tissue sarcoma of late adult life. The tumor occurs principally in one of the extremities or in the abdominal cavity or retroperitoneum, but very rarely in the heart. We report a case of M.F.H. that arose from the posterior wall of the left atrium. A 50 years old woman was presented with signs and symptoms of severe congestive heart failure. On 2-D echocardiographic exam, a huge mass was found in the left atrium. The mass was excised under open heart surgery. Histologic examination revealed that the tumor was actually a malignant fibrous histiocytoma.

저자들은 최초 복부 CT 소견상 후복막강섬유화증으로 오인되었으나 적극적인 조직 검사를 통하여 후복막강에만 국한된 원발 부위 불명 전이암으로 진단된 증례를 경험하였다. 최근 후복막강섬유화증의 진단에 있어서 PET-CT 등 영상 검사가 기술적으로 많은 발전을 이루었지만 후복막강섬유화증의 진단시 악성종양의 배제는 필수적이기 때문에 후복막강섬유화증의 확진은 반드시 조직학적인 검사에 기초하여 이루어져야 함을 강조하는 바이다.

림프관평활근종증은 드문 질환이며, 임상경과상 악성으로 분류할 수 있다. 복통을 주소로 입원한 21세 여자 환자가 골반 내시경을 통해 난소 황체 출혈을 지혈하였고, 그 후 유미성 복수로 개복하여 후 복막에 위치한 낭성 종양을 절제하여 림프관평활근종증으로 조직 진단 받았다. 홀몬 치료 중 유미흉이 발생하여 흉부외과에서 개흉하여 림프액 누출부위를 봉합결찰하였고, 10% 포타딘 관주로 유미흉은 호전되었으나 유미성 복수가 재발하였으며 진단 6개월에 전신 쇠약과 호흡 부전으로 사망하였다.

Extraskeletal osteogenic sarcoma is a rare malignant tumor of soft tissue, and its predilection sites are the extremity, retroperitoneum, trunk, and the head and neck area. To our knowledge 5 cases of primary involvement of the mediastinum have been reported. Because of its rarity and difficulty in exact diagnosis preoperatively, we report an extraskeletal osteogenic sarcoma in the anterior mediastinum. The patient was a thirty eight old male. He complained of cough and sputum over 2 months. The chest roentgenogram and the chest MRI[magnetic resonance image] were done and showed anterior mediastinal mass with calcification. Excision of the mass was done under the preoperative impression of thymoma, and the pathologic report was extraskeletal osteogenic sarcoma of the mediastinum.

세균성 동맥류는 드물지만 전격성 진행으로 말미암아 적절한 치료가 동반되지 않으면 파열이 흔하며 심한경우 사망으로 이어진다. 세균성 동맥류중 비심인성 균형증에 의한 것을 흔히 감염성 동맥류라 한다. 본 교실에서는 후복막강으로 파열된 감염성 복부대동맥류를 1례 치험하였다. 환자는 57세 남자로 배부요통을 주소로 내원하였으며 발열이 있었고 하복부에서 종물이 촉지되었다. 술전검사상 포도상구균에 의한 균형증을 동반한 감염성 복부 대동맥류로 진단되어 동맥류 절제술 및 인조혈관 대치술을 시행하였으면 술후 장기간 항생제를 사용하였다. 환자는 술후 합병증 없이 회복하여 퇴원하였다.

Ganglioneuromas are a fully differentiated tumor that contains no immature elements. The majority of sanglioneuromas are diagnosed in patients older than 10 years and are most often located in the posterior mediastinum, followed by the retroperitoneum. The location of these tumors in the parapharyngeal region is extremely uncommon and there are only a few reports on the cytologic appearance of the tumor. We report a case of ganglioneuroma presenting in a parapharyngeal location in a 4 year-old boy, diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology. The smears revealed scattered large oval to polygonal cells with voluminous, granular cytoplasms. The nuclei were one to two in number and had a prominent nucleolus. Clusters of benign spindle-shaped cells were also present.

Paragonimiasis is a parasitic disease caused by the lung fluke, Paragonimus spp. Lung flukes may be found in various organs, such as the brain, peritoneum, subcutaneous tissues, and retroperitoneum, other than the lungs. Abdominal paragonimiasis raises a considerable diagnostic challenge to clinicians, because it is uncommon and may be confused with other abdominopelvic inflammatory diseases, particularly peritoneal tuberculosis, and peritoneal carcinomatosis. Also, subcutaneous paragonimiasis does not easily bring up clinical suspicion, due to its rarity. We herein report 2 cases of abdominal paragonimiasis and 1 case of subcutaneous paragonimiasis in Korea.

Ganglioneuroma (GN) is benign neurogenic tumor arising from ganglia of the sympathetic nervous system. They are mostly found at posterior mediastinum, retroperitoneum, and adrenal gland, whereas only 1-5% occurred in the cervical region. GN usually present as a single, painless and slow-growing mass, but multiple cervical occurrences are extremely rare. An 80-year-old woman came to our clinic complained of posterior neck mass for three years. We performed surgical excision, and it was finally diagnosed as GN. We report the unique and rare disease entity with a brief literature review.

Desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) is a rare and aggressive malignancy common in young male patient. Typical imaging features of DSRCT include multiple soft tissue masses in the peritoneal cavity, omentum, or mesentery without an organ of origin. This report presents a rare manifestation of DSRCT revealing a solitary large retroperitoneal mass with hepatic metastasis and malignant portal vein thrombosis in 70-year-old women together with the review of literature. The tumor showed a hemorrhagic and necrotic mass with peripheral portion of T2 hypo-intensity and delayed enhancement that indicated desmoplastic stroma with dense cellularity.
