Abstract

An 11-year-old intact female miniature poodle presented with a four-month history of hemorrhagic effusion. The patient was alert on physical examination, although muffled heart sounds were noted upon auscultation of the right hemithorax. The radiographic finding was pleural effusion. Ultrasonography revealed cystic changes in both ovaries and several nodules in the liver. A refractory opacity in the right lung field, as visualized with computer tomography (CT), was diagnosed as right middle lung lobe torsion with a collapsed bronchus. Five days after diagnosis, a right fifth intercostal thoracotomy was performed to remove the right middle lung lobe; the right middle lung lobe was grossly shrunken as a result of chronic lung lobe torsion. Ovariohysterectomy was also performed. Histopathologic examination revealed papillary adenocarcinoma in both ovaries and suspected metastasized ovarian adenocarcinoma cells in the lung lobe. The patient recovered favorably and had been doing well up to two months post-surgery. However, after four months, the dog presented with respiratory difficulty. The radiographic findings were pleural effusion and collapse of the right cranial and left caudal lung lobes. Malignant cells of epithelial origin were observed in the pleural effusion. The tumor cells were suspected to be metastasized cells from the previously resected lung lobe. Although cancer treatment was recommended, the suggestion was suspended and the dog was discharged from hospital. This was a case of lung lobe torsion that had occurred because of hemorrhagic effusion due to tumor. Although ovariohysterectomy and lobectomy were performed, there was a relapse of hemorrhagic effusion because of metastasized tumor from the previously resected lung lobe.

11년령의 암컷 미니어처 푸들이 4개월의 혈흉으로 본 병원에 의뢰되었다. 신체검사에서, 비록 청진상에서 오른쪽 흉곽의 심음이 희미했으나 환축은 기민한 상태였다. 방사선 상에서 흉강은 흉수로 가득 차 있었다. 초음파 상에서는 양쪽 난소는 낭포성 변화가 관찰되었고 간에서 여러 개를 결절을 확인했다. 컴퓨터 단층 촬영에서 오른쪽 중간엽으로 들어가는 기관지의 허탈을 확인한 후에 거칠게 보였던 오른쪽 폐의 음영은 오른 중간엽 폐염전으로 진단되었다. 진단 5일후에 오른쪽 5번째 갈비뼈 사이로 접근하여 중간엽을 절제하였고 동시에 난소자궁적출술도 실시되었다. 병리조직학적 검사에서 양쪽 난소에서는 유두상 선암종이 나타났고, 중간엽에서는 난소에서 전이된 것으로 의심되는 선암종이 진단되었다. 환축은 2달동안 순조롭게 회복되었다. 그러나 4달 후에 환축은 호흡곤란으로 내원하였다. 방사선 상에서 흉수와 오른쪽 앞엽과 왼쪽 뒤엽이 허탈 되어 있었다. 그리고 흉수에서 전이로 의심되는 악성 상피종 세포가 관찰되었다. 보호자에게 항암 치료를 권해드렸으나 보류하셨고 환축은 퇴원하였다. 본 보고의 목적은 종양으로 인한 출혈성 흉수로 폐염전이 발생할 수 있는 드문 증례를 보고 하기 위함이다.
