Abstract

Malignant mesothelioma has been considered a uniformly fatal disease associated with a median survival of 4 to 18 months. However, a multimodality approach toward therapy may Increase the length of palliation when a maximal resection of tumor is achieved. Recently we have experienced a 49 years-old male patient who had d ffuse malignant mesothelioma. The patient has complained of blood-tinged sputum and right chest pain for several months. Chest x-rays and CT scans showed compact haziness in the right entire thorax with massive bloody elusion, diffuse pleural thickening and collapsed underlying lung. We performed extrapleural pneumonectomy, and postoperative chemotherapy with cisplatin and mltomycin (Memorial Sloan-fettering Cancer Center method) was done. We are observing him for months now and there is no evidence of local recurrence.

미만형 악성 중피세포종은 4∼18개월의 평균생존율을 지닌 치명적인 질환으로 여겨져 왔다. 그러나 종양을 최대한 절제한 후 다양한 접근을 통한 치료방법으로 생존기간을 연장할 수 있다 최근 저자들은 미만형 악성 중피세포종을 가진 49세 남자환자를 치험하였기 에 보고하는 바이다. 환자 는 수개월 동안 혈성객담 및 우측흥통을 호소하였고, 단순흉부사진 및 컴퓨터 단층촬영에서 우측 전흥 강이 진한 음영으로 가리워 져 있었으며 많은 양의 혈성삼출, 미만성 늑막비후와 폐허탈, 파괴 등의 소견 을 보였다. 저자들은 늑막케절제술을 시행하였고, cisplatin과 mitomycin으로 보조적인 항암화학요법을 하였다. 그후 환자는 수 개월간 외래 추적관찰을 받았으며 술후 4개월 현재까지 국소재발의 증거는 없었다.
