RÉSUMÉ
Nevus unius lateris (NUL) is a variant of an epidermal nevus that involves a widespread body surface, especially half of the body, and its onset usually occurs at birth or early life. An increased risk of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) in epidermal nevus has also been reported. However, the exact incidence remains unknown. A 67-year-old female patient visited our dermatology clinic with black nodules protruding over multiple verrucous brownish patches and plaques on the right side of the trunk. The patient had congenital NUL. Black nodules were observed to develop several months previously and gradually enlarged. The skin biopsy of one black nodule was consistent with BCC. Subsequently, Mohs micrographic surgery was performed for the BCC. To date, there have been few reports of BCC arising within the nevus unius lateri. Herein, we report a rare case of BCC considered to originate from a congenital NUL.
RÉSUMÉ
Sternal fracture is relatively common in chest trauma. Mediastinal hematoma secondary to sternal fracture is not in common, and it has minor symptoms such as mild dyspnea and chest tightness, which usually resolve spontaneously. We experienced two cases of extrapericardial tamponade by hematoma caused by sternal fractures. Two patients were diagnosed by chest CT scan and sent to the operating room within 2 hours after arriving at emergency room because of unstable vital signs. Cardiovascular signs were relieved immediatly after the operation. We report these cases with a brief review of the literature.

RÉSUMÉ
Chronic constrictive pericarditis is an uncommon disease, but an importanat one because of its potential curability. It usually begins with an initial episode of acute pericarditis often with a pericardial effusion which may not be detected clinically. This then progresses to resorption of the effusion followed by obliteration of pericardial abity with formation of fibrotic tissue, which results in symmetrical scarring that produce uniform restriction. In general, there are no specific problems due to remained pericardial effusion in the clinically manifestated case of constrictive pericarditis. We report a case of chronic constrictive pericarditis with localized pericardial effusion, which caused to hemodynamic compromise due to local compression of the right ventricle.
