경부기도의 종양은 편평상피암과 함께 이비인후과의에게 있어서 호흡곤란 환자의 감별진단을 위해 매우 중요한 임상적 의미를 갖는다. 종양은 암종에 의한 사망률의 0.1%이하를 차지하는 드문 질환이며 선양낭성암종은 기도의 원발성 종양중 두 번째로 많은 질환이다. 갑상선종양의 기도의 직접적인 침범이 흔히 발견되는 상태이며, 그다음으로 편평상피암, 선양낭성암종이 기도의 원발성 종양으로 흔한 질환이다. 갑상선의 악성종양이 기도의 벽이나 내강을 침입하는 것과 마찬가지로, 기도의 원발성 악성종양도 흔히 갑상선을 침범하여 갑상선의 종괴처럼 발현할 수 있다. 본 연구는 이와 같이 갑상선의 악성종양과 유사한 임상경과를 보이는 기도의 선양낭성암종의 향후 감별진단을 위해 4명의 조직학적으로 증명된 갑상선을 침범하는 기도의 선양낭성암종환자의 임상기록과 전산화 단층촬영소견을 후향적으로 관찰하였다. 전산화 단층촬영에서 이들은 기도에 넓은 기저부를 가지고 갑상선을 밀고있는 균일한 음영의 일반적으로 부드러운 경계를 가지는 종괴로 보였으며, 횡단면과 두정면에서 모두 기도 벽의 비후소견을 보였다. 이러한 소견은 기도의 원발성 선양낭성암종의 감별에 도움이 될 것으로 생각된다.

Thyroid disease is highly Prevalent, and many Physicians encounter the Patients with thyroid disease on many occasions. However, many doctors may make an erroneous diagnosis because of its variable clinical manifestation. Thyroid tumor is the most common disease which is detected in more than 30% of general population. Recently, the incidence of thyroid cancer is increasing to be a leading position in female cancer. Therefore, clinical physicians should be familiar with thyroid disease due to its high prevalence and heterogeneous clinical features.

Purpose: Previous studies have not showed consistent results for the level of expression of sodium/iodide symporter (NIS) in thyroid diseases, especially malignant tumor. We undertook this study to evaluate the distribution of NIS expression in malignant thyroid diseases and compare with that in benign thyroid disease. Materials and Methods: Total patients were 119 cases (Men 15, $48{\pm}13$ yrs). Total number of samples were 205 pieces. In malignant thyroid disease, there were 153 samples: 90 in papillary carcinoma, 4 in follicular carcinoma, 2 in medullary carcinoma and 57 in metastatic lymph node. In benign thyroid disease, there were 52 samples: 36 in goiter/cyst, 11 in thyroiditis and 5 in follicular adenoma. Using immunohistochemical methods, we probed 205 samples with monoclonal anti-NIS Ab. Grading of staining was stored as 0 (negative or absent), 1 (weakly positive), 2 (moderately positive) or 3 (strongly positive). Expression rate (ER) of NIS positivity in individual disease entity was expressed as percentage of total number divided by number in 2 plus 3 grade. Results: ERs of malignant thyroid diseases were 63% in papillary carcinoma, 81% in metastatic lymph node, 71% in follicular carcinoma and 100% in medullary carcinoma. ERs of benign thyroid disease were 53% in goiter/cyst, 64% in thyroiditis and 40% in follicular adenoma. ER of malignant thyroid diseases was higher than benign thyroid diseases (71% vs 54%). Grading of NIS expression in papillary carcinoma or goiter/cyst was heterogeneously distributed in considerable cases. Normal tissue also showed heterogeneous distribution of NIS expression, which was not correlated with that of primary lesion. Conclusion: In papillary thyroid carcinoma, distribution of NIS expression was heterogeneous and increased, and not different compared with that of benign thyroid disease.

Parathyroid carcinoma is a rare endocrine malignancy accounting for 0.5% to 4.0% of all cases of hyperparathyroidism and commonly present as hypercalcemia and parathyroid hormone (PTH) elevation. Nonfunctional parathyroid carcinoma does not show symptoms of hyperparathyroidism and only showed a vague indication of being pathologic, even when detected late. The optimal treatment is en bloc resection of the cancer, but frequent local recurrence after surgery has been reported. Adjuvant local treatment such as radiotherapy may improve the likelihood local control in cases with incompletely resected or microscopic residual tumor. The results of this study point to a case of nonfunctional parathyroid carcinoma treated by external beam radiotherapy after en-bloc resection of cancer.

Sclerosing rnucoepidermoid carcinoma with eosinophilia(SMECE)는 1991년 Chan 등이 처음 보고한 이후로 현재까지 전세계적으로 단 17예 만이 보고된 매우 희귀한 갑상선 암종이다. 조직학적으로는 종양 내에 일부 점액성 세포와 증식된 상피성 세포들을 관찰할 수 있고, 조직내 호산구성 세포들이 자주 관찰된다. 대부분의 기질은 밀집된 섬유성 조직으로 구성되어 있으며, 하시모토 갑상선염이 동반되어 있는 것이 특장적이다. 종양의 악성도는 최초 보고인 Chan 등에 의하면 국소 재발 및 원격전이를 거의 하지 않는 예후가 좋은 암종으로 보고되었는데, 이후 여러 문헌에서 국소 침윤, 국소 재발, 원격 전이 및 사망이 발생하여 예후가 매우 불량했던 증례들을 보고한 바 있어 악성도에 대한 시각은 달라지고 있다. 본 저자들은 최근 병리적 진단이 매우 어려웠고, 국소침윤과 림프절 전이 소견을 보였으며, 수술 후 빠른 시일 내에 급속히 재발하였던 악성도가 매우 높은 sclerosing mucoepidermoid thyroid carcinoma with eosinophilia (SMECE) 1예를 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

The thyroid nodules are the most common endocrine disease requiring surgical management. We perfomed a clinical study of 298 cases with thyroid nodules, who were admitted to and operated at the Department of Surgery, College of Medicine, Gyeong sang National University from January 1987 to April 1997 and the results were summarized as follows: 1) Patients were composed of 214 cases(71.8%) of benign nodule and 84 cases(28.2%) of malignant nodule. Benign and malignant nodules were prevalent in fifth decade. 2) The sex distribution showed a preponderance of females with ratio of 5.88:1 in benign nodule and 11:1 in malignant nodule. 3) The nodules were located in the right lobe(134 cases, 44.9%), the left lobe(121 cases, 40.6%), both lobes(34 cases, 11.4%), and isthmus(8 cases, 2.7%). The possibility of malignancy was higher in the solid rather than cystic lesions. 4) Radioactive iodine scintiscans were perfomed in 273 cases and revealed cold nodules in 237 cases(86.8%), 58 of these cases(24.4%) were malignant. 5) According to the histopathologic classification, benign nodules included follicular adenomas 136 cases(63.5%), adenomatous goiters 67 cases(31.3%), Hurthle cell adenomas 4 cases(1.9%), cysts 3 cases(1.4%) and thyroiditis 4 cases(1.4%). In malignant nodules, papillary carcinomas 72 cases(85.7%), follicular carcinoma 8 cases(9.5%), undifferentiated carcinoma 2 cases(2.4%), medullary carcinoma 1 case(1.2%) and malignant lymphoma 1 case(1.2%). 6) The most commonly performed operative procedure was a lobectomy with isthmusectomy(85.5%) for bengn nodules and a total thyroidectomy(51.2%) for malignant nodules. 7) The rate of complications was higher in the cases with malignant nodules(20.2%) than in the benign cases(0.5%). The recurrence rate was 8.3%(7 cases).
