Abstract

Primary malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the lung is extremely rare, A 12-year-old child was admitted to the hospital due to an incidentally detected lung mass. A $2.5{\times}2.5 cm$ sized mass located in the right lower lobe was seen on the chest X-ray, the chest computed tomogram and the positron emission tomogram. We resected the mass through a right lateral thoracotomy and the mass was revealed to be a malignant spindle cell neoplasm on the frozen section diagnosis. So, we performed lobectomy of the right lower lobe with systemic dissection of the mediastinal lymph nodes; the final histopathological diagnosis of the mass was malignant fibrous histiocytoma. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 7 and adjuvant chemotherapy was not applied.

원발성 폐 악성 섬유성 조직구종은 매우 드문 종양이다. 12세 남아가 우연히 발견된 폐 종괴를 주소로 입원하였다. 흉부 X-선, 흉부 전산화 단층촬영, 양전자 방출 단층촬영에서 우하엽에 위치하는 $2.5{\times}2.5 cm$크기의 종괴가 관찰되었다. 우측 측방 개흉술을 통해 종괴를 절제하여 냉동 절편 조직검사를 시행한 결과 악성 방추형세포 종양으로 진단되었다. 따라서 우하엽 절제술 및 종격동 림프절 청소술을 시행하였고, 최종 조직학적 진단은 악성 섬유성 조직구종이었다. 환자는 수술 후 7일째에 퇴원하였으며, 보조적 항암 약물치료는 시행하지 않았다.
