Abstract
Granular cell tumor(myoblastoma) of the bronchus is an uncommon benign tumor that causes pulmonary complications due to obstruction of the airways. The tumor as origianally described by Abrikossoff was considered to be muscular origin, but currently neural derivation is favored. We report a case of granular cell tumor of bronchus of 27-year-old female patient with recurrent pneumonia that is confirmed by bronchoscopic biopsy, and review the liturature.
기관-기관지내에 발생하는 과립세포종은 신경세포에서 발생하는 양성종양으로서 기도폐쇄를 유발하여 2차적으로 폐내 증상(폐쇄성 폐렴, 기침, 흉통, 천명음, 각혈, 호흡곤란 등)를 유발한다. 저자들은 27세 여자환자에서 재발성 폐쇄성 폐렴상으로 나타난 과립세포종을 기관지내시경으로 발견, 조직검사상으로 확진하여 수술한 경우를 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
