Abstract

Malignant mesenchymoma is a very rare tumor presented during the embryonic and infant period and malignant mesenchymoma in the adult is extremely rare. Tumor is composed of two or more unrelated mesenchymal derivatives apart from fibrous tissue. These tumors are thought to be originated from embryonic mesenchyme capable of differentiating into any type of connective tissue. A 61 years old man with complaints of cough and copious sputum of onset of two months was admitted after initial examinations, showing a very huge mass over the right upper lobe. Right pneumonectomy with partial rib resection of 3rd, 4th, and 5th ribs was performed due to the initial diagnostic impression of squamous cell carcinoma by the fine needle aspiration biopsy. The operative field presented a mass locating across the interlobal fissure with severe adhesions to the chest wall. Postoperatively, the patient received 5,000 rads of radiotherapy and presently, 6 months later, has shown no signs of recurrence.

악성 간엽종은 유아와 태생기에서 매우 드문 종양이다. 악성간엽종은 성인에서 극히 드물고 섬유조직이외의 둘 또는 그 이상의 간엽성분으로 구성된 종양으로 결체조직의 어떤 형태로도 분화할 가능성이 있는 태생기 간엽에서 기원한다고 생각된다. 환자는 61세 남자로 2개월 전 가래를 동반한 기침을 주소로 검사를 받던 중 우폐상부에 매우 큰 종괴를 보이는 암종으로 입원하였다. 환자는 우폐상부 미세침윤조직검사상 편평상피세포암 의심하에 우전폐절제술을 받았다. 수술장 소견상 종괴는 흉벽과 심하게 유착되었으며 우폐하부까지 침습된 소견을 보이는 악성간엽종으로 진단되었다. 환자는 수술후 5,000rad의 방사선 조사를 받고 수술후 6개월째인 현재까지 재발징후없이 경과 관찰중이다.
