Sclerosing mediastinitis is a rare condition in which fibrosis and sclerosis of the mediastinum cause obstruction to intrathoracic organs. In nearly 80% of the reported cases, sclerosing mediastinitis was idiopathic, but it could occur secondarily due to histoplasmosis, tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, or drugs like methysergide. An idiopathic proliferation of dense fibrous tissue can cause mediastinal fibrosis retroperitoneal fibrosis, sclerosing mesenteritis, systemic sclerosis and Riedel' s thyroiditis. The combined mediastinal and retroperitoneal fibrosis is a rare, localized manifestation of the idiopathic systemic sclerosing disease. We report a case presenting as an esophageal stricture due to sclerosing mediastinitis associated with retroperitoneal fibrosis.

A 43-year-old man presented with well-defined purple to skin-colored 2X1cm sized plague and various sized papules on the posterior neck. Histopathological findings were follicular and perifollicular inflammation with plasma cells, lymphocytes and neutrophils and dermal fibrosis shown as hypertrophic scar tissue. The patient was diagnosed as acne keloidalis nuchae and treated by surgical excision. We report a case of acne keloidalis nuchae showing typical clinical and histopathological findings.

BACKGROUND: The effects of the Notch signaling pathway in fibroproliferative skin diseases have not been fully elucidated. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of activated Notch signaling molecules in various skin fibroproliferative diseases. METHODS: Immunohistochemical analysis of Notch intracellular domain (NICD) expression in keloid, hypertrophic scar, morphea, dermatofibroma, and normal control skin specimens was performed, and the clinical characteristics of patients with various skin fibroproliferative diseases were analyzed. RESULTS: NICD was highly expressed in fibroblasts of keloids and moderately to highly expressed in hypertrophic scars and dermatofibromas, whereas low or no expression was detected in the fibroblasts of normal skin specimens and morpheas. NICD was constitutively expressed in keratinocytes, endothelial cells, and immune cells in normal skin specimens. CONCLUSION: NICD was significantly expressed in human fibroproliferative skin disorders, especially keloids, suggesting that an activated Notch signaling pathway is involved in the pathogenesis of skin fibrosis.

Idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis is proliferation of fibrous tissue with inflammatory process due to unknown etiology, that may involve the ureters and other retroperitoneal structures. The majority of reported cases have been treated surgically by ureterolysis or intraperitonealization of the ureters. Recently, successful management of retroperitoneal fibrosis by administration of steroids also has been reported. We report two cases of patients who underwent successful treatment of an idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis with high dose steroids therapy.

Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis is a rare multisystemic disorder mainly affecting the skin and joints in patients with underlying renal insufficiency exposed to gadolinium-based contrast. We report a patient who had renal insufficiency caused by multiple myeloma and developed nephrogenic systemic fibrosis after exposure to gadolinium-based contrast for the first time in Korea.
