This paper reported the clinical manifestations, pathological features, immunophenotype and follow-up of two patients with superficial CD34-positive fibroblastic tumor (SCPFT), who were admitted to Shandong Provincial Hospital in 2022 and 2023, and discussed the relevant literatures. The two patients, aged 43 and 20 years old, were both male. Their tumors were located in the perineum and the back of left shoulder, respectively. Both presented as single slow-growing subcutaneous masses with a course typically measured in years, accompanied by mild tenderness but without pain or pruritus. Microscopically, spindled to epithelioid cells and pleomorphous nuclear cells arranged in cellular fascicles and solid sheets were the main findings. Immunophenotypically, positive expression of CD34 was found in both cases. Extended resection ensured negative marginal and basal margins for both cases. No recurrence was observed after 22 and 12 months of follow-up, respectively. Clinical features, pathology, and differential diagnosis were discussed and summarized through a review of relevant literature. SCPFT is a novel type of fibroblastic tumor categorized as a low-grade malignant soft tissue tumor with unique pathological and biological characteristics that is relatively rare clinically. Routine resection may lead to recurrence; therefore, long-term follow-up is necessary. The combination of morphological characteristics and immunohistochemistry is helpful to diagnosis. It is important to differentiate this disease from other tumors to avoid misdiagnosis or mistreatment.

Objective:To assess the efficacy and safety of common medication treatments on Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) and tufted angioma (TA).Methods:PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CNKI and Wanfang database were searched to find out the observational studies on medication treatment of KHE and TA. R-3.6.2 was used for calculate the pooled response rate and pooled adverse events rate. Meta analyses were performed according to KHE and TA with and without Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon (KMP) respectively. SPSS 22.0 was used to compare the pooled rates among each therapy.Results:A total of 30 studies regarding the medication treatment of KHE and TA were identified in this meta-analysis. Analyzed medicines included glucocorticoid, vincristine, sirolimus, propranolol, combination therapy of vincristine and glucocorticoid. The pooled results indicated that when referring therapy on KHE and TA with KMP, the pooled response rate of combination therapy (98.34%) and sirolimus (96.43%) was higher than that of other therapies, and the difference was statistically significant. The pooled adverse events rate of sirolimus (5.53%) was relatively higher than other modalities, with no statistically significance. As for therapy on KHE and TA without KMP, sirolimus (94.23%) had higher pooled response rate than glucocorticoid (31.25%), vincristine (46.15%) and propranolol (22.86%), with statistically significant differences. The pooled adverse events rate of sirolimus was 23.81%.Conclusions:Our findings indicate that for KHE and TA with KMP, combination therapy (sirolimus + glucocorticoid) and vincristine have the best efficacy, while the adverse events rate of sirolimus is relatively high. For KHE and TA without KMP, sirolimus has the highest response rate, but there is also a risk of serious adverse events. Glucocorticoid and vincristine have comparable response rate, which both inferior to sirolimus.

Objective:To explore the application and choice of trunk perforator flaps in chest wound repair.Methods:From May 2015 to December 2019, clinical data of 14 patients using trunk perforator flap for chest soft tissue defect repair were reviewed. They were 8 males and 6 females, aged from 17 to 74 years. 5 patients had wound after scar surgery. 6 patients had benign lesions, and 3 patients had malignant tumors. The size of tissue defects ranged from 6.0 cm×8.0 cm-20.0 cm×21.0 cm. The perforator flaps were designed to repair different wounds. Preoperatively, the perforators are identified by ultrasound or CTA, and the flap scope and surgical approach are designed according to the perforator alignment and the perforated muscle point. Postoperatively, the survival of the flap was observed and followed up for at least 6 months.Results:All 17 flaps of 14 patients survived. The flap area was 7.0 cm × 8.0 cm-22.0 cm × 22.0 cm, and the length of the pedicle was 2.0-6.0 cm. All patients were followed up for 6 to 26 months with satisfied result . Recurrence occurred in one of the patients with thoracic dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans.Conclusions:The perforator artery of the trunk is densely and easy to obtain. The combined flaps could be used to repair large chest defects. The first-stage suture of the donor area, so it meets the organization transplantation principle of "the repair is perfect, the damage is small" .

Objective To assess the effectiveness and safety of propranolol in infantile hemangiomas by comparing with prednisone.Methods A systematic literature search of PubMed,Embase,Cochrane,Ovid,Google Scholar and CNKI,VIP,Wanfang database was conducted to identify studies about the treatment of propranolol in children with hemangiomas.We chose randomized controlled trials and clinical controlled trials.We selected literatures by certain standards.Results Eight papers including 9 studies were identified by the strategy mentioned above.These 8 literatures met our inclusion criteria after review by two independent reviewers.The studies comprised 407 patients.Six of the control group were oral prednisone,and there was no statistic heterogeneity (P =0.09,I2 =0%).The fixed model was used to do the statistic analysis.The outcome showed the effective rate of propranolol was higher than that of prednisone,with statistically significant difference (OR=7.56,95% CI:3.18-17.98).Three of the control group included observation or oral placebo,without statistic heterogeneity (P=0.48,I2=0%) either.The outcome showed the effective rate of propranolol on hemangioma was higher than that of the control group (OR=23.15,95%CI:7.15-74.94).Of all the eight researches,five reported adverse effects,with statistic heterogeneity (P=0.0003,I2 =81 %).In addition,the adverse rate of propranolol was lower than that of prednisone,with statistically significant difference (OR=0.12,95% CI:0.02-0.75).Conclusions The results of this meta-analysis show that oral propranolol could obviously decrease the volume and improve the color of infantile hemangiomas.And propranolol is a significantly more effective for IH than steroids.The incidence of adverse effects of propranolol is also lower than that of prednisone.As a result,propranolol should be recommended as the first choice therapy for infantile hemangioma.
