Fetal adenocarcinoma is a rare adenocarcinoma subtype of pulmonary blastoma. A 48-year-old male patient is being referred to our hospital due to progressive dyspnea. A chest X-ray showed a lung mass of unknown origin that was obstructing the right main bronchus. After relieving the airway obstruction with stent insertion via bronchoscopy, a diagnosis of fetal adenocarcinoma is being confirmed through thoracoscopic biopsy. Due to the locally advanced state of the lung cancer, it seemed to be inoperable, and concurrent chemo-radiation therapy was being administered with docetaxel. The stent was removed after improvements in the airway obstruction followed by a lung mass shrinkage. Comparing to other contexts which describe fetal adenocarcinoma as lower grade malignancy with low-associated mortality, herein, we describe a case of locally-advanced fetal adenocarcinoma (T4N3M0). This is the first documented case being treated with concurrent chemoradiation therapy. The followed-up image studies represent a partial response and the patient is currently under further observations.

Well differentiated fetal adenocarcinoma of the lung Is a subtype of pulmonary blastoma. In this report, CT-guided fine needle aspiration smears were performed at the right upper lobe of the lung in a 45 year-old male patient who had the smoking history of one pack per day for 25 years. The smears disclosed round, papillary, and tubular patterns of cell clusters. The individual cells had relatively uniform, small to medium sized nuclei without nucleoli, and showed vesicular or eosinophilic cytoplasm with Indistinct cell border. The morules were seen in the central area of papillary clusters. They were composed of two cell types, outer single layered cuboidal cellular lining and central three-dimensional cluster of cells simulating fetal lung. These cytologic features need to be differentiated from usual pulmonary adenocarcinoma, carcinoid, and pulmonary blastoma. On histologic findings, the tumor arised in the bronchial epithelium. And the tumor cells had abundant intracytoplasmic glycogen with neuroendocrine feature on histochemical study. In addition, the multiplicity of this tumor is the unique point comparable to the previous reports.

분화가 좋은 태아성 선암종은 $10\sim15$주의 태아폐와 유사하며 풍부한 당원을 가지는 종양성 선과 관성구조로 이루어진 드문 폐종양으로 폐모세포종이나 폐선암의 아형으로 분류되어지나 예후는 전형적인 폐모세포종(이형성 모세포종)이나 폐선암보다는 좋다. 젊은 환자에서 악성의 정도가 낮은 종양을 확인하는 것은 높은 생존율과 연관되므로, 저자들은 현재까지 종양의 재발 없이 생존하고 있는 3명의 환자에서 경험한 분화가 좋은 태아성 선암종에 대해 보고한다.

Pulmonary blastoma is rare malignant neoplasm usually situated peripherally in lung and composed of epithelial and mesenchymal components that resemble the lung at about 3 months gestation. Fortysix year-old man had no symptoms and signs, but solitary pulmonary nodule was found accidentally in a routine simple chest X-ray occupying right upper lung field. Preoperative chest CT-guided aspiration cytology revealed adenocarcinoma. We had done right upper lobectomy with Iymph node dissecton therapeutically. Final postoperative pathology reported this tumor as double pulmonary blastomas(well differentiated fetal adenocarcinoma). We report a case of pulmonary blastoma with review of literature.

잘 분화된 태아성 선암종은 조직학적으로 폐모세포종과 유사하여, 폐모세포종의 한 분류로 생각되어지며, 육종성 형태와 상피성 형태 사이의 태아성 폐에 유사한 상피성 형태를 보인다. 최근 저자등은 19세 남자 환자에서 폐의 좌상엽 부위에 발생한 종괴에 미세 흡침 조직 검사상 폐모세포종으로 나와 좌상엽 절제술을 시행하였고, 술 후 시행한 조직 검사상 육종성 형태는 없었으며, 잘 분화된 태아성 선암종으로 확진되어 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

We studied the effects of hot water extract of Inonotus obliquos mushroom on the proliferation and apoptosis of the human colon adenocarcinoma, HT-29 and the human stomach adenocarcinoma, SNU-484 cell. Cells were maintained with Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium/Ham's F-12 nutrient mixture supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum at 37$^{\circ}C$ in a humidified $CO_2$. For the cell proliferation experiments, cells were seeded in 35 mm dishes, and were treated with the various concentrations of the extract for the different time course. Apoptosis was measured by caspase-3 activity. When we incubated HT-29 cells for 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours after treatments, the cell proliferation was more suppressed with more treatment time. In case of the human stomach cancer cell, SNU484, the extract significantly decreased the cell number. Thus, the treatment of 1.5 mg/$m\ell$ extract decreased almost half of the cell number. Caspase-3 activity in HT-29 was increased by the treatment of mushroom extracts. In SNU484, caspase-3 activity tended to increase in proportion to the amounts of the extracts and the treatment of Inonotus obliquos affected the activity a lot. Therefore, Inonotus obliquos is suggested for the prevention of gastro-intestinal cancer and strongly recommended for the treatment of stomach cancer. (Korean J Nutrition 36(1) : 18~23, 2003)

Pulmonary blastoma is a family of tumors in which the glands or mesenchyme composing the neoplasm are primitive or embryonic in appearance. There are three subtypes, which include well differentiated fetal adenocarcinoma (pulmonary endodermal tumor), biphasic pulmonary blastoma, and cystic and pleuropulmonary blastomas in children. Among them, biphasic pulmonary blastoma is a primary malignancy of the lung originating from multipotential pulmonary blastema including both the malignant fetal epithelial and mesenchymal components. These make up 0.25 to 0.5 percent of all primary malignant lung tumors. This tumor is usually symptomatic and appears as a large, solitary peripheral mass, with a tendency to favor the upper lobe. Here we report a case where a small sized asymptomatic peripheral lung mass was diagnosed as a biphasic pulmonary blastoma, prior to the operation, A subsequent percutaneous needle biopsy was performed, which revealed features of a large cell neuroendocrine tumor. In addition, a review of the relevant literature is provided.
