Abstract

In this paper, we present an extremely rare case of a primary intrapulmonary neurogenic tumor, in which localization of S-100 protein was investigated using immunohistochemical staining. The patient, who was a 47 year old man, experienced no symptoms, however, a routine chest X-ray revealed a round tumor like shadow in the hilar area of left lung. To confirm and cure the mass, surgery was performed. Histopathological examination of the excised tumor revealed it to be a primary intrapulmonary neurilemmoma. Immunohistochemical staining demonstrated the presen e of S-100 protein in the tumor cells.

이 보고서에서는 최근에 저자 등이 5-100단백질을 함유하고 있는 아주 드문 폐 실질안의 신경종양을 경험하 였기에 보고하고자 한다. 이 환자는 47세 남자로 평소 증상은 없었으나, 신체검사에서 우연히 발견된 좌측 폐문의 종피를 주소로 내원한 자이다 이 종괴의 정확한 진단 및 치료를 위하여 수술을 시행하였으며, 병리 조직학적 검사에서 원발성 폐실질내 신경초종으로 판명되었다. 특수염색검사에서 종양안의 5-100단백질의 존재를 확인할 수 있었다.
