Abstract

Primary leiomyosarcomas are rare tumors of the lungs. No typical roentgenographic findings of unusual complex of symptoms distinguish this tumor. The most common therapy is surgical resection. Prognosis and significant survivorship are related to the size, grade, metastasis of the lesion. A 25-year-old female patient with chest pain and cough was admitted. In chest X-ray and CT scan, there was a pulmonary nodule in left upper lung field, She was taken a percutaneous needle aspiration biopsy. The result was a spindle cell tumor. Left upper lobe lobectomy was done, and pathologic diagnosis was a low grade leiomyosarcoma arising from left bronchus. During 5 years of follow-up period, she has not shown any metastasis or local recurrence.

원발성 폐평활근육종(primary pulmonary leiomyosarcoma)은 드문 질환으로 전형적인 X-ray소견이나 증상을 보이지 않는다. 치료는 외과적 절제술이 가장 일반적이며 예후는 병소의 크기, 분화도, 전이 등과 관계되는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 25세 여자 환자가 한 달 전부터의 흉부동통과 기침을 주소로 내원하였다. 내원 후 시행한 흉부 X-ray상 좌상엽에 폐결절 소견을 보여 경피적 세침흡입검사를 시행하였다. 검사 결과 방추세포종괴(spindle cell tumor) 소견을 보였고, 좌상엽절제술을 시행 받았다. 수술 후 시행한 조직학적 검사상 기관지에서 기원한 평활근육종으로 나타났으며, 환자는 현재 5년째 특별한 합병증이나 재발 없이 외래에서 추적 중이기에 보고하는 바이다.
