Abstract

A 55-year-old female presented to Pusan National University Yangsan Hospital with left neck and shoulder pain. An anterior mediastinal mass was detected on chest CT and there were no other specific lesions in the lung or pleural cavity. An infected pericardial cysts was suspected and excision was performed through a left-sided VATS approach. The patient was discharged on the second post-operative day with left diaphragm palsy and praziquantel was prescribed after paragonimaisis was confirmed on pathology. The patient has not shown any particular problems at my outpatient clinic.

55세 여자환자가 좌측 목과 어깨 통증을 주소로 내원하였다. 흉부 전산화 단층촬영상에서 전종격동 종양이 발견되었으며, 폐 혹은 흉강 내에 다른 병변은 보이지 않았다. 감염성 심막 낭종 의심하에 흉강경을 이용하여 종괴 적출술을 시행하였다. 환자는 술 후 2일째에 좌측 횡격막 마비를 제외하고는 특별한 문제 없이 퇴원하였다. 수술 후 병리 소견에서 폐흡충증로 진단 후 프라지퀀탈(praziquantel)을 투여하였고, 이후 특별한 문제 없이 외래 경과관찰 중이다.
