초록

흉막 전이는 흉막에 생기는 악성 질환 중 가장 흔한 원인으로 주로 흉수, 흉막의 결절, 흉막 비후 등의 소견을 보인다. 한편, 흉막폐실질 탄력섬유증(pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis; 이하 PPFE)은 폐 첨부의 흉막과 주변 폐 실질의 섬유화를 특징으로 하는 질환이다. 저자들은 폐의 양 첨부에 기저 PPFE와 함께 좌하엽에 위치하는 원발성 폐암의 좌측 첨부 흉막 전이가 동반되었던 60세 남자 환자의 증례를 보고한다. 흉막 전이로 인한 좌측 첨부의 비대칭적인 흉막 비후 소견이 진단 초기에 기저 PPFE 병변으로 오인되었다. 또한 PPFE의 MRI 소견을 포함한 영상 소견 및 조직병리학적 소견을 함께 기술하였다.

Pleural metastasis is the most common cause of malignant diseases involving the pleura, and characterized by pleural effusion, nodules, and thickening. Pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis (PPFE) is a disease characterized by apical pleural thickening and subjacent parenchymal fibrosis. We report a case of a 60-year-old male with lung cancer in the left lower lobe and underlying PPFE combined with left apical pleural metastasis. Initially, asymmetric left apical pleural thickening due to pleural metastasis was mistaken for PPFE. Additionally, we describe the imaging and histopathological findings of PPFE, including MRI findings.
