Tracheobronchial injury (TBI) is an uncommon but potentially fatal event. Iatrogenic lesions during bronchoscopy, endotracheal intubation, or thoracic surgery are considered the most common causes of TBI. When TBI is detected during surgery, concomitant surgical treatment is recommended. Herein we present a case of successful robotic primary repair of iatrogenic tracheal and left bronchial branch tears during a robot-assisted hybrid 3-stage esophagectomy after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. A robotic approach can facilitate the repair of this injury while reducing both the potential risk of conversion to open surgery and the associated increased risk of postoperative respiratory complications.

Primary epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma (EMC) of the lung is an extremely rare neoplasm that originates from submucosal bronchial glands and has been found in the salivary glands, breast tissue, and sweat glands. However, only a few cases in the respiratory tract have been identified. In the literature, most pulmonary EMCs have been reported to have developed endobronchially although a few EMC cases have been presented as intraparenchymatous tumors. We have identified a case of primary EMC that developed in the peripheral lung parenchyma.

Bronchial adenomas are a group of rare tumors representing less than 1% of primary lung neoplasms. Mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the lung is a very rare subtype of bronchial adenoma. We experienced a case of 20 year old patient with mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the lung, so we present this case of mucoepidermoid carcinoma with literature review.

폐실질내 과오종에 비해 기관지 내 과오종은 드문 질환으로 폐실질 내 과오종이 우연히 발견되는 것에 비해 기관지 내 과오종은 기관지 폐색에 의한 증상이 유발되어 발견되는 경우가 많다. 47세 남자가 한 달간의 기침을 주소로 내원하였다. 기관지 내시경에서 좌상엽 전구역을 페쇄하고 있는 과오종이 발견되었으며 좌상엽전구역 절제술로 제거되었다. 저자들은 좌상엽 전구역 절제술로 제거된 기관지내 과오종을 경험하여 보고하는 바이다.

Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma (EMC) of lung is a minor subset of salivary type carcinoma of lung of known low grade malignancy. Histologically, two-cell components forming duct-like structure with inner epithelial cell layer and outer myoepithelial cell layer are characteristics of EMC. In salivary gland, dedifferentiation of conventional low grade malignancy has been reported and is thought to be related with poor prognosis. However, precise histomorphology and prognostic factors of pulmonary EMC have not been clarified due to its rarity. Herein, we reported a rare case of EMC presented as endobronchial mass in a 53-year old woman, which showed predominant solid lobular growth pattern and lymph node metastases.

One hundred and thirteen patients underwent diagnostic fiberoptic bronchoscopy to exclude the presence of the lung cancer at the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Kyungpook National University Hospital from January 1979, to July 1980. Sixty five cases of these patients were studied for passible lung cancer by bronchoscopic examination. Patients varied in age from 24 to 75 years, with the highest concentration lying in the sixth decade (49%). male was predominated with sex ratio of 6.3 : 1. Forth three (75.4%) of 57 cases impressed as definitive, and 8(14.5%) of 55 cases impressed as negatibe lung cancer were subsequently proved to have had lung cancer. Positive bronchoscopic biopsy was found in 10 of 14 lung cancers which were situated in the left main bronchus and in 11 of 13 neoplasms involving the right upper lobe bronchus. epidermoid cell carcinomas were most frequent(82.4%). Bronchial biopsy detected 34(79%) of 43 hilar cancers and 1.3(59%) 22 periphera neoplasms, in those patients who had fiberoptic bronchoscopic examinations. In the present series of 65 cases, the lesion was so far advanced when first seen that it was considered inoperable in 31 (47.7%) and operable 34(52.3%), 19(55.9%) of these refusing surgery. fifteen were explored of whom 12(80%) were resectable.

내시경을 이용한 기도 종양 절제술은 비침습적인 방법으로 개흉수술에 따른 각종 부작용을 감소할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 폐실질을 보존할 수 있으며, 고령 등의 고위험군의 환자에서 안전하게 이용되고 있다. 기관내 종양(양성 지방종)과 기관지 내 종양(과오종)의 2예 환자에서 국소마취상태에서 굴곡형 기관지경직시하에 폴립제거용 기구와 전기소작술을 이용하여 완전절제를 시행하였다. 기관 내 지방 종환자는 술 후 6년째, 기관지내 과오종환자는 2년 6개월 째 재발없이 추적 중이다. 저자들의 방법이 환자에게 안전하며 좋은 시야에서 시술할 수 있는 장점이 있는 것으로 생각되었다.

An endobronchial metastasis is defined as a subsegmental or a more proximal central bronchial metastasis of a nonpulmonary neoplasm in the bronchoscopically visible range. However, the frequencies of endobronchial metastasis range from 2 to 50% of pulmonary metastases from extrathoracic neoplasms by a different definition of an endobronchial metastasis. Primary neoplasms of an endobronchial metastasis including breast cancer, colon cancer, renal cell carcinoma, and ovarian cancer are relatively common. However, an endobronchial metastasis arising from thyroid cancer, parotid gland tumor, bone tumor, bladder cancer, and stomach cancer has only rarely been reported in the literature. Here we report a case of an endobrochial metastases from a hepatocellular carcinoma.

Ivor Lewis 수술 후에 발생하는 위기관지 누공은 매우 드물지만 위중한 합병증이다. 본 증례는 식도암환자에서 Ivor Lewis 수술 후 15개월째에 발생한 위기관지 누공에 대하여 단 단계 교정술을 시행한 것으로, 먼저 위식도 누공을 분리한 후 기관지 부위와 위 부위의 결손을 직접 봉합했고, 대망편과 5번째 늑간근편을 이용하여 봉합된 결손부위 사이를 보강하였다. 본원에서 시행한 식도 절제술 후의 합병증으로 발생한 위기관지 누공에 대한 치료로 좋은 결과를 보였기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고한다.
