연구배경: 객혈환자 가운데 20~30%에서는 흉부 X-선사진에 정상소견을 보인다고 하며 이런 환자에서 기관지경검사의 필요성에 대해서는 아직까지 논란이 많다. 또한 객혈환자에서 어떤 방법의 진단적 접근이 유용할 것인지에 대해서는 정확한 지표가 없다. 방법: 1988년 10월부터 1992년 5월까지 객혈을 주소로 경북대학교병윈 호홉기내과를 방문한 환자가운데 흉부 X-선사진 및 객담검사상 이상소견이 없었던 80명을 대상으로 기관지경검사, 기관지조영술 및 고해상전산화 단층촬영 등의 검사를 시행하여 객혈의 원인과 성별, 연령, 흡연력, 출혈의 양과 빈도 등의 임상적 소견과의 관계를 조사하였다. 결과: 1) 남자는 34명, 여자는 46명이었으며 평균연령은 각각 46.7, 41.8세였다. 2) 처음 진찰시 기관지경검사로 진단된 경우는 폐암 3명(3.8%), 전이성 암 1명(1.3%) 그리고 기관지결핵 4명(5.0%)이었다. 3) 폐암의 위험인자는 연령이 50세 이상인 경우와 흡연력이 30인년 이상인 경우였고 30년이상의 흡연력이 표준화 회귀계수가 0.6138로 가장 중요한 인자였다. 4) 기관지경검사에 특이소견이 없었던 72명 가운데 기관지조영술 및 고해상전산화단층촬영상 6명에서 기관지확장증이 있었으며 이가운데 5명에서 재출혈이 있었다. 나머지 66명중 추적관찰이 가능했던 33명 가운데 5명에서 재출혈이 있었으며 이들은 기관지확장증 1명, 결핵 2명 그리고 월경과 관련이 있었던 2명이었다. 결론: 이상의 결과에서 흉부 X-선사진상 정상인 객혈환자는 연령이 50세이상이고 특히 흡연력이 30년이상인 경우는 기관지경검사를 하여 폐암에 대한 조사가 필요하며 그밖의 환자들은 반복적인 객담검사와 더불어 재출혈시에는 선택적으로 기관지조영술이나 고해상전산화단층촬영이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

기관분기부에 침범한 악성 종양의 치료로 이용되는 소매 전폐 절제술은 수술 후 높은 유병률과 사망률을 동반하나 기관 분기부위의 악성 종양이 일측 폐를 완전히 허탈시키고 반대편 기관지의 허탈의 가능성이 있는 경우는 좋은 수술적 방법이 될 수 있다. 본 64세된 남자환자는 과거력에서 13년 전에 승모판 협착증 및 삼첨판 폐쇄 부전증으로 타 병원에서 승모판 치환술 및 삼첨판륜 성형술을 시행 받았으며 2년 전에는 성대에 생긴 유두종으로 종양절제술을 시행받았다. 최근에는 혈담을 주소로 내원하여 기관지내시경 및 흉부 컴퓨터단층촬영에서 하부 기관부터 좌측 주 기관지까지 약 3.5 cm의 악성 편평상피세포암이 관찰되었으며 좌측 주 기관지를 완전히 막고 있는 소견이 있었고 grade III의 삼첨판 폐쇄부전이 있었다. 심폐 바이페스 없이 순차적 양측 후측방 개흉술을 통해 좌측 소매 전폐절제술을 시행하였고 수술 후 병리 조직검사에서 T4N0M0인 악성 편평상피세포암으로 확인되었고 수술 후 특별한 문제없이 퇴원하였다.

To evaluate the role of sputum and bronchial washing for the diagnosis of lung carcinoma, we studied the sensitivity of both cytologic techniques using the biopsy confirmed cases from 228 patients. Among them, 123 cases were squamous cell carcinomas, 42 cases were adenocarcinomas, 48 cases were small cell carcinomas, one case was large cell carcinoma, and 14 cases were other types of carcinoma including poorly differentiated carcinomas. Three hundreds and ninety two sputa and 173 sputa were obtained in the pre- and post-bronchoscopic periods. Bronchial washing had been taken once in each patient. The overall sensitivity of the sputum cytology was 0.52 and that of the bronchial washing 0.63, while it increased to 0.83 when a combination of both techniques. Squamous cell carcinomas were diagnosed to the great extent in which sensitivities were 0.59 and 0.74, in sputum and bronchial washing, respectively. The post-bronchoscopic sputa showed higher sensitivity (0.44) than pre-bronchoscopic sputa (0.30). The sensitivity on sputa increased from 0.34 to 0.49 when three samples were examined compared to the single examination. The accuracy of cell typing was 94.0% in sputa and 93.8% In bronchial washing. Repeated sputum examination including post-bronchoscopic sputa is warranted to Improve sensitivity and a complementary role of both cytologlc techniques can be postulated by these data.

This is a report of three cases of successful embolectomy in peripheral arteries. First case was the patient who received a mitral commissurotomy 8 months ago. In that time, there was no evidence of left atrial thrombosis. He showed an embolism in the middle portion of left brachial artery without complaining of any ischemic pain. Embolectomy was performed 15 days after disappearance of radial pulse and resulted in no return of radial pulse postoperatively. Second case was a case of an embolism in lower portion of right brachial artery. She complained severe ischemic pain and cyanosis in the right forearm and fingers. She was also in the beginning state of cardiac failure, which was suspected from her hypertension associated with cardiomegaly and arrythmia Embolectomy was performed 17 hours after onset of acute pain. Immediate full pulsation of radial artery was obtained after embolectomy and the acute ischemic symptoms subsided gradually. Third case was an embolism in superior mesenteric artery which occured 24 hours after pneumonectomy for right bronchogenic carcinoma and the patient suddenly complained diffuse abdominal colicky pain. 7 hours after attack of abdominal pain. embolectomy with extensive reset ion of the small intestine was performed with uneventful recovery and without complication, such as short bowel syndrome, postoperatively. Histopathologically, the embolus was consisted of a tissue of anaplastic cell carcinoma, which was identical to the tumor of the resected right lung. Histological findings of other emboli of first and second case were old thrombus.

The roentgenologic appearance of carcinoma of the lung may vary considerably from case to case. And when it forms cavitary lesion, it is frequently confused with benign lesions and treated conservatively. Twenty-seven patients with cavitary bronchogenic carcinoma were treated in our St. Marys Hospital during the period 1984-1989. There were 24 males and 3 females. They ranged in age from 43 to 76 years. Symptoms of cough, blood-streaked sputum or pleuritic chest pain were present in all patients one month to 6 months before hospital admission and 7 patients among them were delayed in recognition of the malignancy from z month to 3 months. Of 27 malignancies with cavity, 22[81.5 %] were squamous cell ca., 3[11.1%] were large cell ca., and 2[7.4%] were adenoca. And of 22 squamous cell carcinomas, 5 were well differentiated, 13 were moderately and 4 were poorly. All lobes except Rt. middle lobe were involved [RUL 2 cases, RLL 13 cases, LUL 3 cases and LLL 9 cases]. We explored 16 patients and performed 7 lobectomy, 4 bi-lobectomy, 2 pneumonectomy and 3 08zC. Post-operative follow-up examination of the resected 13 patients indicated one and two year survival rates of 69.1 %[9/13 cases] and 37.5%[3/8 cases] respectively, and now 6 survivors whose post-operative periods were from 4 months to 37 months.

A 31-year-old female visited O.P.D. of internal medicine, Kyung Hee Medical center, with the chief complaint of generalized weakness and headache. She took a routine chest P-A and there was a 6.5 x 7.5 cm sized round mass in the right middle lung field. She admitted to the Dept. of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery under the impression of malignant bronchogenic carcinoma with the remit of bronchoscopy and sputum cytology and tomogram. Middle and lower lobectomy of right lung was performed and postoperative surgical biopsy revealed out the plasma cell granuloma. The plasma cell granuloma may occur as a solitary nodule in the lung or be associated with systemic disease, plasma protein imbalance, or nonspecific local inflammatory reaction . More than two third of the reported patients were less than 30 year of age. Grossly the lesion appears reddish-brown and microscopic features include pallisade or a cartwheel distribution of plasma cells with Russel bodies and amyloid. Local excision or lobectomy has been curative in most cases.

Benign lung tumors compose a heterogeneous group of solid growths that present variations in clinical features, depending on whether the origin is within the bronchus on lung parenchyma or from visceral pleura. Benign tumors of the lung are relatively uncommon, and series are to be found in the literature and the classification of benign tumors of the lung continues to be controversial because of disagreement concerning the origin and prognosis of many common lesions. We adopt Liebows original classification but excluded bronchial adenoma which no longer considered as benign tumor and added pulmonary A-V fistula and congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation. We analyzed 61 cases of benign tumors which were composed of 16 original Korean cases and 45 cases which were reported on journal of Thoracic & Cardiovascular Surgery. The results were. [1] Incidence; Of 61 cases, chondromatous hamartoma was 2 cases [41 %], congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation 10 cases [16.4 %], pulmonary A-V fistula 5 cases [8.1 %], sclerosing hemangioma 4 cases [6.5 %], teratoma, plasma cell granuloma & mesothelioma were 3 cases [4.9%], Castlemans disease 2 cases [3.3%], and mucous gland adenoma, paraganglioma, and leiomyoma 1 case [1.6 %]. [2] Age & Sex distribution; Male 30 cases and female 31 cases. Mean age was 31.4 years old. [3] Main symptom; was coughing, 32.8%, and no symptom, 24.6%. [4] Sixty eight percentage of chest film showed mass density, and 4 cases showed calcification, 2 cases had lobulation. [5] Size of mass was large and multiple mass was 2 cases. Endobronchial tumors were 9 cases, 14.9 %. [6] Three cases of endobronchial tumor were preoperatively diagnosed by bronchoscopy and 2 cases of pulmonary A-V fistula were diagnosed by pulmonary arteriography. [7] Seven cases, 11.5%, had associating diseases such as bronchogenic cyst, thymic cyst, Schwannoma, situs inversus, bronchiectasis and bronchogenic carcinoma. [8] Minor resection such as excision 8i: wedge resection were 15 cases, 26.2 %, and 6 cases, 75.4 %, of lobectomy were performed including 5 cases of pneumonectomy 5 cases had. [9] Postoperative complications; One case, 1.6 %, expired due to respiratory insufficiency. Two cases had re-operation due to bleeding and hemoptysis.
