Trichogenic tumors are very rare and described as cutaneous neoplasms probably derived from hair germ which develops into hair follicles. We report a case of trichoblastic fibroma on the left parietal scalp of a 45-year-old man. The lesion was a solitary, firm, non-tender, 2×2cm subcutaneous nodule. The histopathological study showed a well circumscribed dermal tumor composed of abundant basophilic palisading basaloid lobules with some keratinous cysts, hair follicle differentiation and fibroblastic stroma.

To determine the comparative accuracy of two Doppler tests, the findings of 38 patients who had undergone a complete evaluation by supraorbital Doppler test, frontal Doppler test and angiography were studied. When stenosis of 60 percent or more in diameter was considered as a true positive finding, the Doppler tests of 76 internal carotid arteries of the 38 patients showed the following results. Supraorbital Doppler test: eight false positive, three false negative, and 65 correct findings, with an overall accuracy of 85%. The authors, therefore, concluded that the suprorbital Doppler test was more sensitive and accurate than the frontal Doppler test in screening the patients with possible carotid artery occulusive diseases.

Mandibular retrusion showing the facial problem with a marked maxillarry incisors protrusion and chin deficiency, resulting in a highly convex profile is uncommon in Korea.. The large incisor overjet and deep-bite create functional limitations and unpleasing esthetic result. The majority of theses cases are susceptible to correction by orthodontic therapeutic methods. But severe Class II retrognathic cases in which orthodontic treatment alone has not been capable of achieving good results. Orthognathic surgery offers several approaches. In this case, mandibular advancement by bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy and augmentation genioplasty has a special surgical problems. The suprahyoid muscle gorup are lengthened if the body of the mandible is surgically repositioned anteriorly. Instability of results and relapse return to original position shoud predicted during post-surgical muscular readjustment.. To maintain maximum correction with this technique, it is suggested that the mandibular body be well rotated forward at time of surgical intervention and overcorrected anteriory as much as possible. So, the authors report the case with review of concerned literature.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of our investigation was to evalute response to therapy and prognosis according to clinical and pathologic stage. METHODS: Fourteen children who had LCH were diagnosed between Jan., 1987 and Dec., 1996. Of the 14 patients, 3 patients with only skin involvement were excluded from this study. The medical records of 11 patients were reviewed for organ involvement at diagnosis, treatment, disease course, and late sequelae. Results: 1) As for the clinical stages, 4 patients were in stage I, 4 in stage II, one in stage III, and 2 in stage IV. As for the pathologic stages, four had monostotic disease, 2 polyostotic disease and 5 multisystemic disease. 2) All six patients with monostotic and polyostotic disease had a complete response to the therapy and remain alive free of disease. Three of the five with multisystemic disease had a complete response to the therapy, while two had a progression of disease. 3) Sequelae were observed in 3 patients including 2 with diabetes insipidus and 1 with hepatic and pulmonary dysfunctions. 4) The median follow-up time from diagnosis for all patients was 3.5 years. The Kaplan-Meier estimate of survival rate is 91%, with estimated EFS of 81.8% at 5 years. CONCLUSION: The clinical outcome of LCH patients with single system involvement including monostotic and polyostotic diseases were favorable and all remains alive free of disease. Multisystemic disease was associated with several unfavorable prognostic features including diagnosis at age <2 year, dysfunction of involved organs and advanced clinical stage.
