기관 내 사구 종양은 매우 드문 종양이며 일반적인 사구 종양의 증상을 보이지 않다가 크기가 커진 이후에 호흡 곤란이나 객혈, 기침 등의 비특이적인 증상을 보이기 때문에 진단 및 치료가 지연될 수 있다. 따라서 비특이적인 호흡기 증상을 지속적으로 호소하는 환자의 경우 흉부 전산화단층촬영 및 기관지 내시경 등의 적극적인 검사가 필요할 것으로 사료된다. 본 저자들은 호흡 곤란을 주소로 내원한 58세 남자 환자에서 상부 기관 후벽에 발생한 사구 종양 1예를 경험하였기에 이에 대한 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

사구종양은 구조적 및 면역조직화학적으로 평활근의 특징을 가진 사구세포에서 발생한 드문 질환이다, 폐및 기관부에 발생한 사구 종양은 매우 드물고 몇례만이 보고되고 있다. 16세의 여자환자가 기침, 가래, 발열, 호흡곤란으로 검사위해 입원하였다. 영상검사상 좌측 주기관부의 돌출형 종괴가 발견되었고, 좌측 개흉술하에 종양절제술 시행하였다. 저자들은 주기관지에 발생한 사구종양 1례를 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Glomus tumors are a rare, benign neoplasm and 75% exist in the subungual region. Extradigital glomus tumors are much more difficult to diagnose because of their atypical location and symptoms. Furthermore, if their symptoms are similar to neuropathic pain, the patient can suffer from misdirected treatment due to misdiagnosis. It is essential to perform careful evaluation of the lesion itself in order to reduce misdiagnosis. Ultrasonography is a useful, non-invasive method that can be easily performed in the pain clinic for local evaluation and diagnosis. We report a case of misdiagnosed glomus tumor in the thigh which was properly diagnosed after ultrasonography.

We report a case of subungual solitary glomus tumor in a 28-year-old female, who has suffered from pain and tenderness of the left 4th finger tip for about 5 years. Simple surgical excision was performed for removal of the tumor mass and for the relief of the subjective symptoms. No recurrence has been observed for 5 months following excision of the tumor.

사구종양은 정상 사구체에서 볼 수 있는 특화된 평활근 세포를 닳은 세포로 이루어진 종양으로 손가락의 손톱 아래 부위가 호발 부위이지만, 손바닥, 팔, 다리에도 잘 생기며 이외에도 무릎골, 흉벽, 골, 위, 대장, 신경 등에도 드물게 생긴다. 그러나, 기관에 생긴 사구 종양은 매우 드문데, 저자들은 기관에 생긴 1예의 사구 종양을 경험하였기에 이를 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하고자 한다.

An 18-year-old female was admitted because of dyspnea at rest. A chest computed tomography (CT) scan and fiberoptic bronchoscopy demonstrated a polypoid tumor in the left main bronchus, 0.5cm distal from the carina. Surgical resection of the tumor was performed, along with. A pathological evaluation and the immunohistochemical findings led to the diagnosis of a glomus tumor, which originated from the bronchus, an area where this type of tumor has rarely been reported.

Purpose: Glomus tumors are neoplasms that are composed of modified smooth muscle cells of the glomus body and multiple glomus tumor comprises 10% of all glomus tumors. We report a case of disseminated multiple glomus tumors. Methods: A 14 - year - old boy presented with multiple subcutaneous purple nodules on the right cheek, back, right arm, right hand dorsum, right fourth finger, and left ankle. Nodules on the back and right fourth finger were completely excised under local anesthesia and histopathologic examination was followed. Results: Histopathologic findings showed numerous dilated, cavernous - like, thin - walled, vascular spaces surrounded by one or a few layers of glomus cells. On immunohistochemical examination, glomus cells stain for smooth muscle actin, and endothelial cells stain for CD31. Those revealed multiple glomangiomas. Conclusion: A review of Korean literature revealed only one reported cases of disseminated multiple glomus tumors, so this is the second case to be reported in the Korean literature. In case of multiple soft tissue tumors, thorough physical examination and preoperative evaluation is needed.

Purpose: We reviewed 66 cases of the glomus tumors in the hands. The purpose of this study was to review the characteristic signs and symptoms of glomus tumors and the surgical outcomes. We made hypothesis that (1) our guideline for surgical excision are reliable and (2) our surgical technique is efficient and less harmful to the nail root. Materials and Methods: The clinical diagnosis was made with occasional radiological studies and surgical excision was performed according to our indications. Patients with electrical shock-like pain by touching (the essential symptom) and at least 2 of 4 clinical signs and symptoms (cold hypersensitivity, paroxysmal pain that radiated proximally, blue discoloration, nail deformity for dorsal tumor or a palpable nodule for pulp tumor) underwent surgical excision. Results: The duration of symptoms of the patients was about 5.3 years. No difference of prevalence was found in both hands, but the thumb and the middle finger were more affected than the other fingers. The mean follow up period was 2.4 years and none of the patients complained the same characteristic pain at the last visit. Conclusion: To the best of our knowledge, this report is the largest case series about glomus tumors in the finger tip. The clinical signs and symptoms are important to make a diagnosis of glomus tumors, and surgical excision is the treatment of choice.

사구종은 신경근동맥성 사구에서 발생하는 손톱 밑의 피하 지방층에 발생하는 드문 종양이다. 조직학적으로 고유 사구종양, 사구맥관종, 사구맥관근종으로 분류하고 있는데 이 중 사구맥관근종은 가장 드물다고 알려져 있다. 또한 다른 사구체 종양과는 다르게 사지나 손톱 밑에서 호발하지 않는다. 사구체 종양은 특징적인 임상 증상으로 일차 진단이 가능하지만 방사선학적으로는 초음파 또는 자기공명 영상이 이용되고 있다. 저자들은 수지에 발생한 재발성 손톱밑 사구맥관근종에 대한 초음파를 이용한 진단 및 수술적 치료에 대한 경험을 보고하고자 한다.

Glomus tumours are vascular hamartomas that are commonly found in the hand, particularly the subungual region. They appear as solitary or multiple tumours, and often present as a bluish discoloration of the nail plate. Different diagnostic tests are outlined, as well as imaging studies such as magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound. Misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis of these tumours are common, while a familial tendency is a potential risk factor but not yet proven. Complete surgical excision often results in complete symptomatic relief, while recurrences are largely due to incomplete excision or the growth of a new glomus tumour. This article aims to review the key aspects of glomus tumours and provide a diagnostic algorithm so that the lesion can be recognized and treated earlier.
