Abstract

Although pulmonary lymphangioma is very rare, it is usually discovered as cystic or cavitary or solitary pulmonary nodular shadow on radiological studies. The final diagnosis is usually made pathologically after surgical intervention. We report an unusual case of pulmonary cystic lymphangioma developed in the lingular segment of the left upper lobe which was diagnosed and treated by surgical resection.

폐에 발생하는 림프관종은 매우 드물지만 낭성 형태나 결절 형태로 흉부 X-선 사진에서 발견되며 최종 진단은 절제술 후에 밝혀지게 된다. 저자들은 방사선 촬영 소견에서 국소적인 늑막삼출 형태를 보인 좌폐 상엽 설상구역에 발생된 낭성 림프관종 1예를 치험하여 보고하는 바이다.
