Abstract

Purpose: We report the diagnosis, treatment outcomes and prognosis of the patients with soft tissue malignant myoepithelioma in the extremities. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 6 patients with soft tissue malignant myoepithelioma in the extremities who were treated at our institution between 2008 and 2014. Two patients received unplanned excision at another hospital and remaining 4 patients underwent the biopsy procedures and received wide excision at our hospital. Results: There were 3 men and 3 women with mean age of 41 (33-54) years. The average follow up was 28 (9-45) months. Among the 6 patients, only 4 patients underwent biopsy procedures under the impression of malignant soft tissue sarcoma. Surgical margins for these 4 patients were negative. Two patients who had unplanned excision received another re-excision and one of them showed no residual tumor in the resected specimen. Local recurrences were developed in all patients and distant metastasis in 4 patients. All 4 patients who developed distant metastasis died due to disease progression. Among the 2 patients who developed local recurrence only, one patient has another local recurrence after re-operation and remaining one patient is no evidence of disease for 2 years after resection of locally recurred mass. Conclusion: Soft tissue malignant myoepithelioma in the extremities is a rare disease and shows an aggressive behavior. Appropriate biopsy under the impression of soft tissue malignancy is necessary and complete surgical resection with wide margins is the recommended treatment of choice.

목적: 사지에 발생한 연부 조직 악성 근상피종의 진단, 치료 및 예후에 대하여 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2008년 1월부터 2014년 10월까지 연부 조직 악성 근상피종으로 진단받고 본원에서 치료받은 6명의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 2명의 환자는 타원에서 조직 검사 없이 무계획 절제술(unplanned excision)을 시행받은 이후 본원으로 전원되었으며, 나머지 4명의 환자는 모두 본원에서 조직 검사 및 광범위 절제술을 시행받았다. 결과: 평균 연령은 41세(33-54)였고, 남자가 3예, 여자가 3예였으며 평균 추시 기간은 28개월(9-45)이었다. 1명의 환자에서만 술 후 항암요법을 시행하였다. 연구 대상 환자 중 4명만이 악성 연부 조직 종양 의심하에 조직 검사 후 광범위 절제술을 시행하였다. 본원에서 광범위 절제술을 시행한 환자 4명은 모두 절제연에 종양 세포가 관찰되지 않았다. 무계획 절제술 이후 전원된 환자 2명 모두 본원에서 재절제술 시행받았으며, 이중 한명은 재절제술 병리 조직에서 잔존하는 종양 세포는 관찰되지 않았다. 6명의 환자 모두에게서 수술 후 평균 6개월(3-29)에 국소 재발 소견이 관찰되었고 4명의 환자에서는 수술 후 평균 7개월(3-14)에 원격 전이도 관찰되었다. 원격 전이가 발생한 4명의 환자는 모두 질병으로 인하여 사망하였고, 국소 재발만 발생한 2명의 환자중 1명은 환자는 재발하여 추시 관찰 중이며 나머지 1명의 환자는 재수술후 2년간 재발이나 전이 없이 경과 관찰 중이다. 결론: 연부 조직 악성 근상피종은 극히 드물게 발병하는 질환으로 재발과 전이를 잘 하는 공격적인 악성 연부 조직 종양으로 적절한 치료법으로는 광범위 절제술이 권장되며, 국소 재발을 줄이기 위해서는 악성 연부 조직 종양일 가능성을 염두에 두고 반드시 술 전 조직 검사를 하여 악성임을 확인하고 이후 계획된 광범위 절제술을 시행하는 것이 중요하다고 생각된다.
