Trichilemmal cysts are common fluid-filled growths that arise from the isthmus of the hair follicle. They can form rapidly multiplying trichilemmal tumors-, also called proliferating trichilemmal cysts, which are typically benign. Rarely, proliferating trichilemmal cysts can become cancerous. Here we report the case of a patient who experienced this series of changes. The 27-year-old male patient had been observed to have a 1×1 cm cyst 7 years ago. Eight months prior to presentation at our institution, incision and drainage was performed at his local clinic. However, the size of the mass had gradually increased. At our clinic, he presented with a 5×4 cm hard mass that had recurred on the posterior side of his neck. The tumor was removed without safety margin, and the skin defect was covered with a split-thickness skin graft. The pathologic diagnosis was a benign proliferating trichilemmal cyst. The mass recurred after 4months, at which point, a wide excision (1.3-cm safety margin) and split-thickness skin graft were performed. The biopsy revealed a trichilemmal carcinoma arising from a proliferating trichilemmal cyst. This clinical experience suggests that clinicians should consider the possibility of malignant changes when diagnosing and treating trichilemmal cysts.

Transitional cell carcinoma is the most common malignant tumor of the urteter, usually presenting as focal ureteral wall thickening or a mass filling the ureter lumen and combined with periureteral infiltration or adjacent lymph node enlargement. Retroperitoneal mass due to exophytic growth of ureteral transitional cell carcinoma has not been described in the literature, and we now report the CT findings in such a case.

A solitary, asymptomatic lesion, clinically resembling a transpare it cyst, has been present for 4 months in the vaginal mucosa of a 43-year-old healthy woman. An xcisional biopsy revealed the lesion to be a focal accumulatition of hyaluronic acid replacing the collagen fibers and fibroblastic proliferation in the dermis consistant with cutaneous focal mucinosis. During the follow-up period for 3 months, no recurrence was observed.

A given facial type can be considered as a syndrome in which various features are aggregated, so a single parameter is not sufficient to accurately identify a given facial type. This study was designed to identify & characterize the skeletal types that blend under the headline-'Cl III,deepbite'. Cephalograms of thirty-four untreated mixed dentition patients, selected mainly on the basis of clinical impression of CI III with reduced lower face heights were studied. The following conclusion can be drawn. 1. CI III malocclusion with reduced lower face height could be classified into three types. 2. Subtype 1 was identified by the following features : strong ramus, more anteriorly positioned upper molars without alveolar hypoplasia, acutely reduced Mn. plane angle. 3. Subtype 2 was characterized by a short ramus, sharply reduced postrior alveolar height, and normal Mn. plane angle. In general, this type had hypoplasia tendency in the vertical dimension. 4. In subtype 3, the AUFH occupying more percentage than ALFH was a outstanding feature. Ramal height was in normal range, alveolar hypoplasia and slightly reduced Mn. plane angle was observed. 5. The features of the subtypes were reflected in certain indices, which can be regarded as discriminative index. LAFH: if reduced, regardless of subtypes, indicates reduced lower ant. face height consistently. FHR: when this ratio is increased, it indicates subtype 1. FHl: when this ratio is in normal range, it indicates subtype 2. FPI: if reduced greatly, it indicates subtype 3.
