Abstract

A 24 year old man visited our hospital, because an intrapulmonary foreign body had been found incidentally. Simple chest X-ray showed a 5 cm sized foreign body of metallic density, and chest CT confirmed the foreign body, which was like a sewing needle, in the left upper lobe. We performed a simple extraction of the foreign body using VATS (Video Assisted Thoracic Surgery). After the operation, the patient was discharged without any complications.

24세 남자가 우연히 발견된 폐실질 내 이물로 내원하였다. 단순흉부촬영상 약 5 cm크기의 금속성물질로 보였고, 흉부단층촬영에서 좌하엽폐야에 바느질 바늘로 추정되는 이물이 발견되었다. 수술은 흉강경을 이용하여 바늘을 제거하였다. 수술 후 환자는 특별한 경과나 합병증 없이 퇴원하였다. 이에 저자들은 폐실질 내 이물의 흉강경적 제거를 치험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고한다.
