Poikiloderma is a combination of telangiectasia, irregular mottled hyperpigmentation/depigmentation and superficial atrophy in a reticular pattern. Poikiloderma of Civatte is a rather common, acquired poikiloderma of the face and neck, most often affecting the middle-aged or the elderly. Poikiloderma of Civatte runs a chronic, benign, but irreversible course. The ideal treatment is elimination of both the vascular and pigmented components simultaneously. Most methods to treat this condition are ineffective, inefficient, or inconvenient and may cause significant side effects such as depigmentation and scarring. Recently, intense pulsed light sources have been used in poikiloderma of Civatte with their ability to target vascular and pigment components simultaneously. We experienced two cases of poikiloderma of Civatte treated by intense pulsed light with different parameters than those used in former reports, so we report this case with a review of previously published cases.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the radiologic and clinical outcomes after tension band wire fixation of Neer type II distal clavicle fractures. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty-six patients with Neer type II distal clavicle fractures who underwent tension band wire fixation from March 2002 to May 2011 were included in the study. Fifteen cases were classified as Neer type IIa and 11 cases as type IIb. The postoperative mean follow-up period was 14.3 months. Clinical and radiologic evaluation was performed at two weeks, six weeks, three months, six months, and 12 months postoperatively. RESULTS: Bony union on X-rays was observed at an average of 11.7 weeks (range 8-20 weeks) postoperatively. The overall visual analogue scale score for pain was 1.23+/-2.75 postoperatively. The overall postoperative University of California at Los Angeles score increased to 33.5+/-2.15 from the preoperative score of 21.6+/-1.91 (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: Among various methods of treatment for Neer type II distal clavicle fracture, K-wire and tension band fixation was used and relatively satisfactory radiological and clinical results were obtained. This surgical method yields excellent clinical results, owing to its relatively easy technique, fewer complications, and allowance of early rehabilitation.

A giant thrombosed extracranial internal carotid artery aneurysm (ECCA) is extremely rare and its treatment is challenging. Despite the advance of endovascular technique, open surgery is still considered a first-line treatment in giant thrombosed ECCA. We describe a case of giant thrombosed ECCA which was successfully treated by aneurysmectomy and graft interposition with the technical details.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the results of five-pin external fixation, with the fifth pin stabilizing the distal radius articular fragment, for unstable distal radial fractures. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty cases of unstable distal radial fractures were treated with five-pin external fixation (5-pin group). The fifth pin was inserted into the distal articular fragment and attached to the external fixation frame. Metacarpal pins were removed at sixth week in 12 cases and at third in 8 cases, and radial pins were removed at eighth or ninth week. The radiographic results of 5-pin group were compared with those of 20 cases of traditional four-pin external fixation (4-pin group). RESULTS: The postoperative radial inclination was 23.1 degrees in 5-pin group and 22.2 degrees in 4-pin group; while at last follow-up 21.8o and 15.1 degrees respectively. Postoperative volar tilt was 8.5 degrees and 7.3o; while at last follow-up 6.3 degrees and 0.1 degrees respectively. Postoperative radial shortening was 0.3 mm, 0.4 mm; while at last follow-up 1.1 mm and 2.1 mm respectively. In 5-pin group, there were no significant differences in results whether the metacarpal pins were removed at sixth or third week. CONCLUSION: Five-pin external fixation, with the fifth pin stabilizing the distal articular fragment, enhanced early motion of the wrist maintaining fracture stability in unstable fractures of the distal radius.

An inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare disease entity reported to arise in various organs. It is thought to be a neoplastic or reactive inflammatory condition, controversially. The treatment of choice for myofibroblastic tumor is surgery, and recurrence is known to be rare. The optimal treatment method is not well-known for patients ineligible for surgery. We report a 47-year-old patient with aggressive recurrent IMT of the lungs. The patient had been admitted for an evaluation of back-pain two years after a complete resection of pulmonary IMT. Radiation therapy was performed for multiple bone recurrences, and the symptoms were improved. However the patient presented again with aggravated back-pain six months later. High-dose steroid and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs were administered, but the disease progressed aggressively, resulting in spinal cord compression and metastasis to intra-abdominal organs. This is a very rare case of aggressively recurrent pulmonary IMT with multi-organ metastasis.

An 82-year-old woman presented with a 5-year history of erythematous to brown patches and plaques on both legs, arms and trunk. Histopathological findings of biopsy specimens were consistent with mycosis fungoides, and the tumor cells were positive for CD3 and negative for CD20 in immunohistochemical stain. Imaging studies proposed the suspicion of ureter cancer, and the result of cystoscopic biopsy showed papillary urothelial carcinoma. Mycosis fungoides is the most common type of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, characterized by variable cutaneous manifestations, including patches, plaques, tumors, and erythroderma. There were several studies concerning the evaluation of the second malignancy risk after cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, however the relationship between mycosis fungoides and ureter cancer is not revealed. This patient is considered a case of mycosis fungoides with coincidental ureter cancer.

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to compare the streamlined liner of the pharynx airway (SLIPA), a new supraglottic airway device (SGA), with the laryngeal mask airway ProSeal(TM) (PLMA) during general anesthesia. METHODS: Sixty patients were randomly allocated to two groups; a PLMA group (n = 30) or a SLIPA group (n = 30). Ease of use, first insertion success rate, hemodynamic responses to insertion, ventilatory efficiency and positioning confirmed by fiberoptic bronchoscopy were assessed. Lung mechanics data were collected with side stream spirometry at 10 minutes after insertion. We also compared the incidence of blood stain, incidence and severity of postoperative sore throat and other complications. RESULTS: First attempt success rates were 93.3% and 73.3%, and mean insertion time was 7.3 sec and 10.5 sec in PLMA and SLIPA. There was a significant rise in all of hemodynamic response from the pre-insertion value at one minute following insertion of SLIPA. But, insertion of PLMA was no significant rise in hemodynamic response. There was no statistically significant difference in the mean maximum sealing pressure, gas leakage, lung mechanics data, gastric distension, postoperative sore throat and other complication between the two groups. Blood stain were noted on the surface of the device in 40% (n = 12) in the SLIPA vs. 6.7% (n = 2) in the PLMA. CONCLUSIONS: The SLIPA is a useful alternative to the PLMA and have comparable efficacy and complication rates. If we acquire the skill to use, SLIPA may be considered as primary SGA devices during surgery under general anesthesia.
