Foregut cystic developmental malformations are rare developmental anomalies. It is important to diagnose the diseases and manage them properly because these cysts may generate feeding or respiratory difficulties depending on the size and location of the lesions. A newborn was referred for a congenital cervical swelling to our clinic on the second day of his life. Neck SONO and MRI showed an about 6cm sized cystic mass at left submandibular area. Aspirations and sclerotherapies were done repeatedly due to recurred cystic mass. Under the suspicious of cystic hygroma, the mass and submandibular gland were excised. Histologically, it was a benign cyst including gastrointestinal and bronchogenic mucosa and pancreatic tissue. Foregut cyst was suggested for the final diagnosis and the patient was discharged at 9 days after the operation without a complication. He has visited our out-patient department. Although several image studies have been introduced to find out foregut cyst, it is difficult to go through differential diagnosis because of similarity of other benign tumor. Further studies for early diagnosis of cervical foregut cyst are needed for preventing possible related problems.

A total of 69 patients were treated for congenital lung cysts at Seoul National University Hospital during the period between 1960 and Aug, 1989. They were 37 patients of bronchogenic cyst, 18 patients of pulmonary sequestration, 7 patients of congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation [C.C.A.M.], and 7 patients of congenital lobar emphysema. In cases of bronchogenic cyst, involved age was variable from 7 months to 53 years and most cases were asymptomatic. They were located 14 cases in the right lung, 6 cases in the left lung and 17 cases in the mediastinum. Their sizes were also variable from 2.5 to 12 cm and most of them except 3 cases were solitary cysts. There were 6 cases that had bronchial communication. In cases of pulmonary sequestration, aged from 3 months to 29years, all were intrapulmonary type. 15 cases of them were found in the left lower field and 3 cases in the right lower field. Anomalous vessels were confirmed in 16 cases by aortography and/or surgical exploration. In cases of congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation, aged from 7 days to 6 years, 3 cases of infants were admitted due to severe dyspnea and cyanosis but the remaining 4 cases were admitted due to large cyst or abscess on chest roentgenogram. 3 cases were located in the right lung and 4 cases in the left lung. In cases of congenital lobar emphysema, aged from 14 days to 11 years, 6 cases were located in the right lung and one case was located in the left lung. All of them were male and had shown some degree of dyspnea from birth There were 2 cases of mortality, one in C.C.A.M and one in congenital lobar emphysema. But the remaining cases were well treated and recovered with the surgical resections.

Clinical observation were performed on 25 cases of Mediastinal tumors or Cyst, those were admitted and treated at the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Korea University Hospital, during the 6 years period from March 1973 to March 1979. The following results are obtained. Of 25 cases, 19 patients were males and 6 patients were females. Range of age varied widely from 2 years to 72 years. Approximately 28% were younger than 15 years of age at the time of diagnosis. The common subjective symptoms of the patients were anterior chest pain [36%], coughing [27%], dyspnea and a few incidence of hemoptysis. Diagnostic procedures were posteroanterior and lateral chest roentgenorgrams, Chest tomograms, Brochograms, Esophagograms, Mediastinoscopy, Scalene and Axillary Lymph node biopsy, and Needle aspiration biopsy. In the histological distribution on Mediastinal tumors in order of frequency, Neurogenic tumor 6 cases [25%], Lymphoma 5 cases [21%], Bronchogenic cyst 4 cases [17%], Pericardial cyst 2 cases [8.3%], Teratodermoid tumor 2 cases [8.3%], and each one case of Rhabdomyosarcoma, Seminoma, Cavernous hemangioma, Anthracosis, Tuberculoma were noted respectively. Of 24 cases of the histologically confirmed Mediastinal tumors, 6 cases [24%] were malignant. Thoracotomy for removal of tumor or cyst was performed on 17 cases and offered cure of all benign tumors. In 6 cases of malignant tumors, Chemotherapy with Vincristine, Cyclophosphamide and Prednisolone was given to 1 case Lymphoma. There was no case of postoperative mortality.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become a crucial tool for evaluating mediastinal masses considering that several lesions that appear indeterminate on computed tomography and radiography can be differentiated on MRI. Using a three-compartment model to localize the mass and employing a basic knowledge of MRI, radiologists can easily diagnose mediastinal masses. Here, we review the use of MRI in evaluating mediastinal masses and present the images of various mediastinal masses categorized using the International Thymic Malignancy Interest Group's three-compartment classification system. These masses include thymic hyperplasia, thymic cyst, pericardial cyst, thymoma, mediastinal hemangioma, lymphoma, mature teratoma, bronchogenic cyst, esophageal duplication cyst, mediastinal thyroid carcinoma originating from ectopic thyroid tissue, mediastinal liposarcoma, mediastinal pancreatic pseudocyst, neurogenic tumor, meningocele, and plasmacytoma.

Congenital thoracic malformations such as intra- and extra-pulmonary sequestration, cystic adenomatoid malformation, congenital pulmonary airway malformation, malinosculation, bronchogenic cyst, reduplication cyst, and foregut cyst are frequently detected on routine prenatal ultrasound. There are some controversies about treatment for postnatally persistent pulmonary sequestration. Some authors recommend expectant long term follow up but most authors advocate elective surgical excision because of complication such as respiratory distress, infection, intrathoracic bleeding, haemoptysis, cardiac failure, and potential risk of malignancy. We experienced 2 cases of prenatally diagnosed extrapulmonary sequestration which were located in the subdiaphragmatic retroperitoneum. Resections were performed at 2 months and 4 months of age using intraabdominal approach. There were no complications. In conclusion, if the prenatally diagnosed extrapulmonary sequestration remained postnatally, early operation might reduce morbidity related to extrapulmonary sequestration and parental anxiety without any postoperative 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.

종격동 종양의 경우 그 분포가 다양하나 양성질환이 더 많고, 흉강경 수술시 시야가 좋으며, 수술에 필요한 공간을 쉽게 확보할 수 있다는 점에서 비디오 흉강경 절제술이 기존의 개흉술에 못지 않은 수술방법 이라고 생각되어 본원에서 양성 종격동 종양으로 진단 받은 환자들을 대상으로 비디오 흉강경을 이용한 종격동 종양 절제술을 시행하고 고찰하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 1995년 1월부터 2001년 8월까지 근무력증을 제외한 양성 종격동 종양 43례의 환자에서 비디오 흉강경술을 시도하여 이중 개흉술로 전환된 5례를 제외한 38례를 분석하였다. 결과 : 성별은 남자가 13명(34.2%), 여자가 25명(65.8%)이었으며, 평균 연령은 39.2$\pm$35.4세였다 진단은 신경초종(neurilemmoma) 8.11(21.1%), 흉선 낭종(thyrnic cyst) 6례(15.8%), 기형종(teratoma) 5례(13.2%), 신경절신경종(ganglioneuroma) 5례(13.2%), 기관지원성 낭종(bronchogenic cyst) 4례(10.5%), 심막 낭종(pericardial cyst) 3례(7.9%), 흉선종(thymoma) 3례(7.9%), 림프관종(Iymphangioma) 2례(5.3%) 등이었다. 평균 수술 시간은 110.6$\pm$7.0분, 평균 흉관 거치기간은 4.2 $\pm$0.4일, 수술후 평균 재원기간은 5.2$\pm$0.4일, 평균 술후 진통제 근주 횟수는 1.9 $\pm$ 0.4회이었으며, 이상의 측정치들은 개흉술로 전환된 5례와 비교하여 평균값이 적었으나, 통계적으로 유의하지는 않았다. 수술후 합병증으로는 유미흉, 장기간 공기유출 및 일측성 횡격막 마비가 각 1례가 있었으나 퇴원시 소실된 일과성이었으며, 편측안검하수 1례가 있었다. 결론 : 비디오 흉강경을 이용한 종격동 종양 절제술은 안전하게 시행될 수 있으며, 수술 후 통증경감과 빠른 회복 및 미용상의 장점이 있어 계속 발전되고 적극적으로 시도되어야 한다고 사료된다.
