The Morel-Lavallée lesion (MLL) is a closed soft-tissue degloving injury, resulting in characteristic hemo-lymphatic fluid collection between the fascia and subcutaneous layers. The MLL was managed routinely with drainage and compression bandages, but sclerotherapy can be used in patients with chronic lesions refractory to first-line therapy. This paper presents a case of extensive recurrent chronic MLL treated with sclerotherapy using Abnobaviscum, which has been used to treat adhesion in malignant pleural effusion.

PURPOSE: To report a case of primary extramedullary plasmacytoma which is rare in the orbit. METHODS: A 72 year-old man was referred for the evaluation of a slowly developing proptosis in the right eye. A CT scan revealed the orbital mass which involved optic nerve and surrounding tissues. Incisional biopsy via lower lid was performed. RESULTS: Histopathologic examination confirmed the findings of plasmacytoma. Systemic evaluation including bone marrow biopsy, clinical and radiologic evaluation showed no evidence for multiple myeloma. Taken together we diagnosed the orbital lesion as a primary extramedullary plasmacytoma. He was treated with radiation therapy and followed for 6months without evidence of new lesion or systemic disease. CONCLUSIONS: We experienced a case of primary extramedullary plasmacytoma which is rare in the orbit. Continuing careful observation is warranted because of its variable natural course and prognosis.

A case of multiple hamartomas of the unilateral chest wall in a four month old infant is presented. There have been a few reports on the CT findings of the chest wall hamartoma in infancy. We describe bone changes of the ribs and mineralization of this rare tumor on the CT scan, and the locations of two separate masses.

OBJECTIVE: For the treatment of carotid cavernous fistula(CCF), transarterial detachable balloon occlusion(DBO) is the method of choice. When it has failed to occlude the fistula, various embolization methods are used to treat the fistula. Transvenous embolization through the superior ophthalmic vein(SOV) is another method of treatment. The venous approach through the SOV after surgical dissection and exposure of this vein has been recommended by some delete, but(here) delete delete(an) alternative treatment method by percutaneous puncture of the SOV without surgical dissection(is described). METHODS: A 19-year-old woman admitted to our hospital two months after accident, presented with proptosis, chemosis, occulomotor and abducens nerve palsies, and bruit of the right eye. The authors tried DBO via transarterial route in initial treatment and the fistula was occluded with subsequent disapearance of bruit. However, 2 weeks later, she complained of recurence of bruit. Transarterial approach was attempted again, but the fistula hole was too small for this approach. The venous approach via SOV by percutaneous puncture was then tried. Puncture was made at the medial one third of the superior orbital rim and the fistula was embolized with Guglielmi detachable coils (GDCs). RESULTS: The fistula was completely occluded and no early and late complications noted. The patient's clinical symptoms were improved within a few days. CONCLUSION: Treatment of CCF by percutaneous puncture of the SOV is an alternative and effective method when other approaches are not feasible.

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to analyze the questions in the shoulder and elbow section of the Korean Orthopaedic In-Training Examination (KOITE) and compare them with those of the US Orthopaedic In-Training Examination (US OITE). METHODS: Twenty-nine questions in the shoulder and elbow section of the KOITE from 2010 to 2014 were analyzed and compared with those of the US OITE (80 questions) by literature review. A thorough analysis of the contents was performed after categorizing as topics, diagnostic tools, treatment modalities, taxonomic classification, and references. RESULTS: The shoulder and elbow section of the KOITE was 5.8% weight which was similar to the US OITE (5.9%). The most commonly appearing topic was anterior labral injury (17.2%) on the KOITE compared to instability and arthritis (21.3%, each) on the US OITE. Magnetic resonance imaging was most frequently appeared imaging modality on the KOITE (41.0%) compared to the radiograph on the US OITE (43.0%). The Latarjet procedure was the most commonly asked treatment modality (22.2%) on the KOITE, whereas arthroplasty (33.3%) on the US OITE. The KOITE showed an even taxonomic classification distribution compared to the US OITE. Campbell's operative orthopaedics covered 96.6% questions as a reference on the KOITE compared to the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, American Volume on the US OITE, which covered 45.0%. CONCLUSIONS: This specific analysis shows us current trends of the shoulder and elbow section of the KOITE and it might be developed for use in the educational curricula for the trainee.

The mesoblastic nephroma is a rare benign renal tumor that frequently appears as a neonatal abdominal mass. This benign tumor is composed primarily of connective tissue that growth between intact nephrons and often replaces most of the renal parenchyme. Contrast media within the calyceal systems are seen within the tumor representing function by nephrons trapped within the mass. Prognosis after complete excision is excellent.
