A congenital cystic adenoid malformation of the lung(CCAM) is characterized by an anomalous fetal development of the terminal respiratory structures, resulting in the adenomatoid proliferation of the bronchiolar elements and cystic formation. CCAM has been detected on the fetus, premature babies and stillborn as well as infants and children. An adult presentation of CCAM is extremely rare. When cystic lesions occur with a repeated infection, an evaluation of the cystic lesions requires a differential diagnosis of CCAM, sequestration, a lung abscess, a pneumatocele and a bronchogenic cyst. The definite treatment of CCAM is the surgical removal of the involved lobe. We report a case of a CCAM in a 24-year-old female with a brief review of the relevant literature.

Pulmonary sequestration, congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation[CCAM], infantile lobar emphysema[ILE], and bronchogenic cysts are four congenital lesions that show abnormal cystic areas within the lung field in early life. They share similar embryologic and clinical characteristics, Therefore they are sometimes difficult to make differential diagnosis each other, and all require surgical treatment. From 1984 to 1993, 20 patients underwent surgical corrections under these diagnostic categories[10 bronchogenic cyst, 4 pulmonary sequestration, 4 CCAM, and 2 ILE] in the department of thoracic & cardiovascular surgery, Inje University, Pusan Paik Hospital. There were 9 females and 11 males, Ages ranged from 26 days after birth to 69 years. Among them 5 cases of bronchogenic cyst were found out incidentally, but remained all 15 cases were noted as symptomatic cases. Recurrent pulmonary infections, respiratory distress and cough with cystic lesions in chest film were the main characteristics of them. Computed tomography and aortography were available for diagnostic conformation. For all the cases surgical resection were performed: 1 pneumonectomy, 2 bilobectomy, 9 lobectomy, 7 cyst resection and 1 mass[extralobar pulmonary sequestration] resection. All surgical treatments were well tolerated with no physical limitation. There was no operative mortality, and only one postoperative complication[empyema thoracis]. All patients were followed up ranging from 4 months to 9 years. A clinical awareness of these related lesions is important for prompt diagnosis and effective surgical treatment.

Bronchogenic cyst is a congenital cystic lesion which is usually found within the lung parenchyme or mediasitnum. Since the surgical removal of asymptomatic lesions was adopted as the reasonable therapeutic principle and increased use of roentgenograms of the thorax, many more cases of bronchogenic cysts are being observed. Seven cases of bronchogenic cysts were presented and related literatures were reviewed.

배경: 폐격리증의 발생기전에 대해서는 발생학적 이상에 의한 선천성 질환으로 생각해왔으나 대부분의 내엽성 폐격리증은 유아에서는 거의 발생하지 않고 동반된 선천성 기형이 비교적 드물다는 점에서 후천성 병변으로 보는 것이 타당하다고 생각한다. 대상 및 방법: 1985년 12월부터 2002년 7월까지 수술절제 후 병리소견상 내엽성 폐격리증으로 확인된 환자 25명을 대상으로 하였다. 환자들의 의무기록을 후향적으로 분석하여 환자의 나이 및 성별, 수술 전 증상 및 동반질환의 유무, 다른 선천성 병변의 동반여부, 이학적 소견, 술 전 검사방법 및 처치, 병변의 위치 및 수술 방법, 이상동맥의 기원과 크기 및 개수, 주요병변 및 동반병변의 병리소견, 술 후 합병증 등을 각각 조사하였다. 결과: 남녀 성비는 남자 8명(32%), 여자 17명(68%)으로 여자가 많았으며 나이분포는 1세에서 57세까지로 평균나이는 23세이었다. 호흡기계 임상증상이 있었던 경우가 14예(56%)로 절반 이상을 차지하였으나 증상이 없이 우연히 발견되거나 흉통만을 호소하는 경우도 11예(44%)로 많은 부분을 차지하였다. 수술 전에 폐격리증으로 진단할 수 있었던 경우는 8예(32%)에 불과하였고 그 외에 종격동 종양 혹은 폐종양으로 진단되었던 경우가 8예(32%), 선천성 혹은 후천성 낭종성 질환, 폐농양 혹은 기관지확장증으로 진단되었던 경우가 각각 5예(20%), 4예(16%) 있었다. 수술 시 이상동맥의 존재를 확인하였던 22명의 환자에서 하행 흉부대동맥에서 기시한 경우가 19예(86.4%)로 가장 많았고 흉부 및 복부 대동맥에서 기시한 경우가 2예, 복부 대동맥에서 기시한 경우가 1예 있었다. 수술 당시 연령을 10세 미만과 10세 이상으로 나누어 조사한 결과 다른 선천성 기형의 동반여부는 각각 30%, 6.7%로 연령이 어릴수록 많았으나 선천성 원인에 의한 내엽성 폐격리증으로 진단된 경우는 각각 10%, 6.7%로 두 군 간에 통계적으로 차이가 없었다(p>0.05). 병리조직소견상 주된 병변은 나이에 관계없이 만성 염증 및 낭종성 변화를 보이고 있었으며 주위조직과의 유착정도도 비슷하게 관찰되었다. 결론: 내엽성 폐격리증 환자들의 임상적 특성을 보면 특별한 증상 없이 우연히 발견되거나 호흡기감염과 관계없는 흉통만을 호소한 경우가 44%로 많은 부분을 차지하며 특히 연령이 높을수록 수술 전에 종격동 종양 혹은 폐종양으로 진단되었던 경우가 많았다. 10세 미만의 환자에서 다른 선천성 기형의 동반이 많았으나 병변의 조직병리소견 및 선천성 비율을 볼 때 대부분이 후천성 병변으로 확인되었다.

Pulmonary arteriovenous fistula is a rare congenital vascular malformation in the lung, resulting from erroneous capillary development, with incomplete formation or disintegration of the vascular septa that would normally divide the primitive connection between the venous and arterial plexus. The pathogenesis of its symptom is that unoxygenated and desaturated arterial blood enter into the pulmonary venous system directly. Recently we have experienced a case of multiple pulmonary arteriovenous fistula in a 15 year old male patient, who presented the symptom of cyanosis and dyspnea on exertion. The operation revealed well circumscribed and multilobulated aneurysmal lesion in left lower lobe with its subpleural and posterolateral basal location, and another aneurysmal lesion in inferior lingular segment of left lung. There was no abnormal connection between the fistula and systemic circulation. The left lower lobectomy was performed along with local extirpation of the inferior lingular segment of left lung. Both lesions showed angiomatous dilatation of the various sized vessels embedded in the parenchyma microscopically. Postoperative clinical course disclosed much improvement in symptoms and in the value of blood gas analysis. The patient was discharged without any complication.

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.

Pulmonary nodular lymphoid hyperplasia is a reactive lymphoproliferative disease. It is very rare, which means that many aspects of the disease are unknown or have not been proven. Pulmonary nodular lymphoid hyperplasia can be symptomatic or asymptomatic, progressive or not, and solitary or multiple, and a surgical approach is the current treatment of choice. We present a case of pulmonary nodular lymphoid hyperplasia that was visualized as multiple ground glass opacities on a computed tomography (C T) scan, and observed for 1 year because the patient was pregnant. Over this period, the number and extent of the opacities progressed, but no symptoms were reported. A surgical biopsy was done and some remaining lesions regressed on follow-up CT scans, while others progressed, without any appearance of symptoms.
