Abstract

Pulmonary eosinophilic granuloma, a rare form of Langerhans cell histiocytosis confined to lung, has no known etiology and variable natural history. It is characterized by discrete proliferation of Langerhans cells. It is known that over 90% of the patients are cigarette smokers, and it is rarely reported in non- or passive-smoking patients, especially female. Here we describe a case of pulmonary eosinophilic granuloma in a passive-smoking, reproductive female patient presented with spontaneous pneumothorax. We identified S-100 and CDla positive histiocytes on immunohistochemical stain of the lung tissue obtained by open lung biopsy.

기흉과 미만성 간질성 폐질환의 소견을 보인 흡연력이 없는 젊은 여자 환자에서 개흉 폐생검후 면역조직화학염색을 통하여 폐 호산구성 육아종을 진단한 1예를 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.
