Abstract

We experienced a case of primary sternal tuberculosis with destroyed midsternum and bony defect. An 22-year-old female was admitted to our hospital two times for severe sternal pain and spontaneous fracture without history of trauma. On hospital admission, chest X-ray and chest CT showed destruction of midsternum and soft tissue swelling. Fine needle aspiration cytology revealed tuberculous osteomyelitis with cold abscess. And the patient was treated with usual anti-tubeculosis medication for preoperative preparation. At operation, we confirmed midsternal destruction with cold abscess and multiple sinus tracts. After removal of diseased sternal segment and cold abscess, we performed sternal reconstruction with autologus iliac bone graft. The pathologic report was compatible with tuberculous osteomyelitis and caseous necrosis The postoperative course was smooth and uneventful, and she remains well without sternal instability two months later.

본 강북삼성병원 흉부외과에서는 병적골절이 동반된 원발성 흉골결핵을 치험 하였다. 22세된 여자환자가 특별한 외상이없이 발생한 흉골부위의 통증 및 골절로 입원 하였다. 입원당시 시행한 흉부단순촬영 및 전산화단층촬영상 흉골의 괴사소견과 연부조직의 부종이 관찰되었다. 세침세포검사상 냉농양을 동반한 결핵성 골수염으로 진단되어 술전 항결핵 치료후 수술을 시행하였다. 수술시 흉골중앙부위의 골괴사 및 다발성 누공을 확인하였으며, 골괴사 부위를 제거한후 환자의 장골능을 골이식 하였다. 병리조직학적 결과는 결핵성 골수염의 소견 및 치즈양괴사를 보였다. 술후 경과는 양호 하였으며, 2개월동안의 추적검사상 흉골의 불안정은 관찰되지 않았다.
