In adults, the complications of measles are more fatal and the viremia lasts longer than in children. Reports on severe forms of measles in adults are rare and no cases of elderly adults who experienced multiple organ failure in Korea have been reported. A 68-year-old man with a rash, fever, cough, and conjunctivitis was admitted to our hospital and confirmed by positive expression of specific IgM antibody to measles. The patient experienced acute kidney injury and acute lung injury requiring renal replacement therapy and mechanical ventilation. Herein, we report on a rare case of measles showing multiple organ failure in an elderly adult.

Intramuscular lipoma is a rare benign tumor. It refers to infiltrating lipoma because it originates between skeletal muscle abundles and infiltrates into the intramuscular septa. Kransdorf reported that the majority of lipomas were located in the trunk, head/neck, and lower extremity. In addition, in research by Kindlom et al., on 43 cases of muscular infiltrative lipoma, there was no case involving the chest wall. We report on a case of intramuscular lipoma on the anterior chest wall. The lesion was removed completely and histopathological findings showed that mature adipocytes had infiltrated serratus anterior muscle in a diffuse manner. After treatment, the patient has shown no complication or evidence of recurrence.
