Tuberous sclerosis is a systemic disorder of hamartoma format on includes facial angiofibromas, subungal fibromas, hypomelanic maciles Shagreens patches. The earliest skin manifestation of tuberous sileiule, but it may appear later. We present a case of fibrous plaqu a recognized skin signs. Forehead plaque can be the earliest skin near in many organs. Skin involvement less forehead fibrous plaques, and vsis is usually hypornelanotic inacipearing before any of these more festation of tuberous sclerosis. Its presence may lead to early diagnosis and appropriate genetic couise hng hut may be a poor prognostic sign.

Oil granuloma is a foreignbody reaction which occurs after injection of lipid usually for cosmetic or therapeutic reasons. I present a case of eyelid oil granuloma caused by accidental high pressure injury in a 39-year-old man. The patient had a 2 x 0.5cm sized, firm, normardear subcutaneous nodule on the Rt. upper eyelid. Histopathologic examination showed a characteris swiss-cheese appearance. Eyelid oil granuloma caused by high pressure injury is very rare and my case is the first described in Korean medical literatures.

Xanthoma disseminatum (XD) is one of cutaneous nonhistiocytosis X, and characterized by multiple, widely distributed red, brown, yellowish papules and nodules that tend to coalesce. We present a case of XD with characteristic clinical findings and treated with the combination therapy of COz laser vaporization and high dose steroid.

Juvenile xanthogranuloma is a congenital or perinatal tumor, 1 to 2 cm in diameter, usually located on the head. The extracutaneous lesions can occur on the eye, the lung, the epicardium, the oral cavity or the testicles. Subcutaneous form of juvenile xanthogranuloma has been reported very rarely in the literature. We report a unique case of a subcutaneous juvenile xanthogranuloma that showed 4 × 4 cm sized plaque and located on the extremity of 9-year-old girl.

In the case of a soft tissue defect which requires thin & pliable tissues, the choice of donor site is limited due to flap bulkiness and donor site morbidity. To overcome these problems, a variety of perforator-based flaps such as paraspinous and parasacral perforator flap, deep inferior epigastric perforator flap, gluteal perforator flap, and thoracodorsal artery perforator flap have recently been introduced. We experienced 8 cases of soft tissue defects from December 1996 to March 1999 using the thoracodorsal artery perforator flap for reconstruction. We could elevate the cutaneous flap with preservation of the latissimus dorsi muscle flap only when it was based on one cutaneous perforator. Defatting procedure was possible for further thinning of skin flap. In one case, axillary defect after release of postburn scar contracture was repaired with island perforator flap and the other seven cases were repaired with free flap. The results were satisfactory. We believe the thoracodorsal artery perforator flap is useful for reconstruction of soft tissue defects which are large or under conditions requiring thin flap.
