INTRODUCTION The introduction of Mohs micrographic surgery minimized the loss of normal tissue while also enabling complete tumor resection. Thenceforth, Mohs micrographic surgery was used for various cutaneous neoplasms, and it was reported as the most efficient treatment method with regard to the recurrence rates and aesthetic aspects, relative to those of the various other [...]

This case is rare in that it occurred in an uncommon extranuchal site, and interesting in that nuchal-type fibroma was recently described. Cli­nically, this case resembled lipoma, but physical examination revealed that the lesion had more dense tissue than lipomas. And it had morphologi­cally distinct features from other fibrous tumors. In 1988, Enzinger and Weiss [...]

A 29-year-old man without any particular medical history presented to our institution with a 6-year history of asymptomatic lump on the coccyx area. The patient complained that it had been gradually growing. On physical examination, the lesion was 3 x 4 cm sized, not tender, subcutaneous mass on the left side of coccyx area (Fig. [...]

INTRODUCTION Nuchal-type fibroma is a rare, tumor-like pro­liferation originally described by Enzinger and Weiss. One case was also reported in Korean dermatologic literature. This process chiefly occurs in the dorsocervical area of adult patients, but may arise elsewhere in the subcutis. Affected patients’ ages mainly ranged from 25 and 60 years. This lesion may be [...]

Most cases of port-wine stain (PWS) are congenital, but the acquired form of PWS has only recently been described. In 1939, Traub reported the first case of acquired port-wine stain (APWS). The average age of onset of APWS is usually after 1 year. M-any cases of acquired PWS have since been reported – , , [...]

In capillary malformations, there are two types: port-wine stain (PWS) and telangiectasia. PWS is one of the most common types of capillary malformation and occurs as pink to red macules or patches, usually on a unilateral side. The color of the lesion tends to gradually deepen with time. The lesion grows proportionately and becomes raised [...]

The Table 1 shows the summary of the mean data of vessel area, percentage of vascular area and vessel depth of each patient. Vessel area The mean vessel area in APWS was 1014.7 ± 782.5 //m2 and CPWS, 1341.5 ± 689.9 ^m2. The mean data was higher in CPWS, but there was no significant statistical [...]
