  • A mass excision surrounding the bronchial stump was performed to exclude malignancy in a 42-year-old man who had undergone a right lower lobectomy for lung cancer. The mass was identified as a cicatricial fibroma. Cicatricial fibromatosis, which is desmoid fibromatosis that arises in a surgical scar, is a well-known clinical condition. It consists of histologically benign neoplasms. Their occurrence after thoracic surgery is extremely rare. Biopsy or excision of suspicious lesions is very important for diagnosis. R0 resection remains the principal outcome for intrathoracic desmoid fibromatosis. We report that a cicatricial fibromatosis in the subcarinal space was removed after suspicion of local recurrence at the bronchial stump follwing lobectomy for lung cancer.

  • Benign hyperplasia of hilar lymph glands is rare. Most of the lesions were intrathoracic cavity. The lesions were discovered most often on routine roentgenograms of the chest or because. of pressure symptoms or the presence of a palpable mass if outside the thorax. Diagnosis is. made after removal of gland, a procedure which may also have therapeutic value. They have been divided into 2 histol0gic types: the hyaline-vascular lesions, which were, most numerous, were characterized by small hyaline-vascular follicles and interfollicular capillary proliferation ;the plasma cell lesions were characterized by large follicles with! intervening sheets of plasma cells. We experienced one case of benign hyperplasia of lymph gland in left hilum, which were. most numerous, characterized by small hyaline-vascular follicles and interfollicular capillary proliferation-hyaline-vascular type. This 29 years old male patient was treated by right upper lobectomy with excision of lesion. The postoperative courses was uneventful.

  • Neurilemmoma is a benign and slowly growing neurogenic tumor. Intrathoracic neurilemmoma often develops in the chest wall and posterior mediastinum, but endobronchial neurilemmoma is extremely rare. The diagnosis of endobronchial neurilemmoma with preoperative imaging findings is challenging and is usually made via postoperative pathological examination. These authors encountered a case of primary endobronchial neurilemmoma in a 52-year-old woman who had no symptoms. A $3.0{\times}2.6$ cm mass in the right lower lobe projecting into the mediobasal segmental bronchus was shown in the results of the contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the chest. Benign neurilemmoma was confirmed via bronchoscopic biopsy, and surgical resection (sleeve bronchial excision and end-to-end anastomosis) was performed.

  • Pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB) is an unusual intrathoracic blastoma presenting in childhood and charac-terized by a biphasic neoplastic population of undifferentiated, small round blastemal cells and larger spindle-shaped sarcomatous cells with entrapped benign epithelial-lined structures. We experienced the cytologic features of PPB in imprint smear from the pleural-based huge mass of the middle lobe of the right lung in a 4-year-old boy. The smears showed high cellularity composed of small ovoid blastemal elements and scattered spindle mesenchymal tumor cells. Lobectomy and pathologic investigation confirmed the diagnosis. PPB seems to be a tumor in which accurate diagnosis may be achieved by cytoiogy if appro-priate clinical information were given. Timely and accurate diagnosis of PPB by cytology paves the way for attempting preoperative treatment in future cases.

  • Mature fetiform teratoma, or homunculus, is a term coined for a rare variant of teratoma with a prevalence of 0.01% of teratomas. There have been very few cases reported in the world, and its thoracic presentation is extremely unusual. We present the case of a 31-year-old female patient with a history of progressive chest pain in the left hemithorax, associated with dyspnea on moderate exertion and cough. Imaging studies revealed a large intrathoracic tumor visually compatible with a teratoma. Surgical resection by a clamshell approach was successful, and subsequent anatomopathological studies of the operative specimen concluded that the mass was a mature fetiform thoracic teratoma. The treatment of this entity is generally surgical and includes wide resection due to its large adhesive component to surrounding tissues. Thus, the cardiothoracic surgeon must know approaches that allow wide resection, making these cases true surgical challenges.

  • 연구배경: 경피적 폐생검은 흉부 병소의 진단을 얻기위해 흔히 이용되는 검사 방법으로써, 축적된 경험, 검칩의 개발, 영상 유도 방법의 개선으로 진단 성적이 높아지고 있으며, 기존의 논문들이 28 - 98%의 진단 성적을 보고하며 시술에 의한 합병증은 그 정도가 가벼워서 비교적 안전하게 시행될 수 있다고 알려져 있다. 저자들은 서울대학병원에서 1년 동안 시행된 경피적 폐생검 결과를 검토하여 그의 진단 성적과 합병증의 빈도와 정도를 조사하고 진단 성적에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 평가하고자 본 연구를 시작하였다. 방법: 1994 년 1월부터 1994년 12월까지, 흉부병소를 가진 236명의 환자에게 시행된 287 회의 경피적 폐생검 결과를 검토하여 양성 및 악성 질환에 대한 진단 성적과 합병증의 발생 빈도를 조사하였다. 병소는 21- 23 G Chiba needle로 흡인하였고, 필요시 19 - 20 G Biopsy gun으로 생검을 실시 하여 미생물학적 검사, 세포진 검사, 병리 조직학적 검사를 시행하였다. 그 결과 및 합병증의 발생 빈도는 병록지만을 참고하여 산출되었다. 병변의 형태와 크기에 따른 진단 성적은 chi square 방법으로 통계 처리하여 비교하였다(P<0.05). 결과: 병변의 위치는 우상엽 26.3%, 우중엽 6.4%, 우하엽 21.2%, 좌상엽 16.8%, 좌하엽 10.6%, 2엽 이상의 부위에 병변이 있었던 경우가 17.4%, 종격동 1.3% 였다. 병변의 형태는 경화성 병변이 19.9%, 결절 또는 종괴성 병변이 80.1% 였다. 236명 중 양성 질환자는 74명, 악성질환자는 142명, 경피적 폐생검을 포함한 어떤 검사로도 진단이 밝혀지지 않은 환자는 22명 이었고, 2명은 폐암과 폐결핵을 같이 가지고 있었다. 236 명을 대상으로 총 287 회의 경피적 폐생검이 시행되었는데, 이것으로 확진된 경우가 양성 질환자의 경우 46명으로 62.2%, 악성 질환자의 경우 117명으로 82.4%의 진단 성적을 보였다. 경피적 폐생검을 1차로 시행하여 진단에 이르지 못한 경우 2차, 3차 재 시술 함으로써 양성 질환의 경우 44.6%, 60.8%, 62.2%로, 악성 질환의 경우 73.9%, 8 1.7%, 82.4%로 진단 성적을 높일 수 있었다. 악성 질환자 43 명과 양성 질환자 9명에서 개흉술을 실시하였는데 개흉술과 경피적 폐생검의 병리학적 검사 결과가 일치하였던 경우는 악성과 양성에서 각각 25 명과 4명 으로 58.1% 와 44.4 %의 일치율을 보였다. 또한 약성 질환자 4명과 양성 질환자 2명은 개흉술 후 악성과 양성의 진단이 바뀌었다. 287례의 시행 중 합병증은 각혈 3 례, 경미한 혈담 55 례, 기흉 36례, 발열 3례로 빈도는 각각 1.0%, 19.2%, 12.5%, 1.0 % 였다. 합병증 발생시 각혈과 혈당은 모두 치료를 요하지 않았고, 기흉은 8례에서 흉관 또는 픽테일 카테터를 삽입하였으며, 발열은 모두 48 시간 내에 자연 소실되었다. 병변의 형태와 크기에 따른 진단 성적의 차이는 없었다. 결론: 경피적 폐생검은 진단 성적이 비교적 높고 합병증의 정도가 낮아 흉부 영소의 진단에 유용하지만 병리 조직학적 진단의 정확도는 개선이 필요하다고 생각된다.

  • Purpose: Malignant changes of Marjolin's ulcer arising from chronic burn scar are rare. The majority of them are squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma. Malignant fibrous histiocytoma is a deep seated pleomorphic sarcoma, which occurs principally as a mass of the extremities, abdominal cavity, or retroperitoneum in adults. Methods: We report a 58-year-old male patient who was admitted due to $3.5{\times}5cm$ chronic ulceration of anterior chest wall on the center of old burn scar. His scar had been occurred by boiling oil and treated with conservative treatment 45 years ago. Preoperative punch biopsy showed suspicious malignant changes and contrast enhanced chest CT showed well-defined, irregular shape enhancing lesion on anterior chest wall without intrathoracic metastasis. Results: The tumor was widely excised and defect was covered with skin graft without infection, necrosis and any other complication. The pathologic findings are compatible with malignant fibrous histiocytoma(storiform - pleomorphic type). The patient underwent 3 cycles of chemotheraphy. Although distant metastasis to the lung developed 6 months later and the patient died 9 month later, there was no local reoccurrence. Conclusion: Aggressive and early excision is needed because malignant fibrous histiocytoma has characteristics of high malignancy with a propensity for early and distant spread. Furthermore, the patient's education about disease entity and postoperative regular follow-up for local recurrence or metastasis is very important. To prevent malignancy from secondly healing burn scar, early skin graft is recommended for patients with deep second degree burn.

  • 선천성 흉강내 신장은 이소성 신장의 가장 드문 형태로 알려져 있다. 흔히 증상이 없어 우연히 흉부 방사선 촬영을 통해 발견 되며, 주로 성인 시기와 산전 진단에서 진단 받는 경우가 많은 것으로 알려져 있다. 선천성 흉강내 신장은 다른 동반기형이 없는 무증상의 경우 수술적 치료가 필요하지 않으며, 횡격막 탈장이 동반된 경우 출생 후 수일 이내에 교정 수술이 필요 하다. 이에 저자들은 분만력, 과거력상 특이 소견이 없었던 15개월 남아로 간헐적인 심한 보챔을 주소로 내원하였고 흉부 방사선 촬영에서 종격동 종괴를 보여 시행한 초음파와 스캔에서 신장 위치의 이상을 확인하였고, MRI를 통해 횡격막 탈장을 확인한 예를 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.

  • There appears to be significant problems remained in the treatment of tuberculous empyema with BPF in spite of several surgical methods: decortication, thoracoplasty, and pleuropneumonectomy. We presented one case of tuberculous empyema with BPF. The patient was 42-year-old male and his chief complaint was hemoptysis. In past history, he was treated with left closed thoracostomy and antituberculous medication for two months, 16 years ago. Chest X-ray, tomogram and C. T, revealed a huge mass with central necrosis in the lower 2/3 of left thoracic cavity and shifting of the mediastinal structure to the right. Needle aspiration cytology was undifferentiated large cell carcinoma. Left thoracotomy was made under the impression of lung cancer and pleuropneumonectomy was done. Operative findings; thick walled empyema sac filled with hematoma and BPF, the mediastinum was fixated due to fibrosis and calcification of the pleura and the mediastinum. Postoperative biopsy was consistent with tuberculosis. In the postoperative course, there was massive hemorrhage and so reoperation was done. But there was no active bleeding focuses in the thoracic cavity at the time of reoperation. Massive transfusion, coagulant therapy and intermittent clamping and declamping of the chest tube were carried out. Especially, serum calcium level was chronically decreased and so large amount of calcium gluconate was infused for the calcium level to be normal. Total transfused blood; whole blood was 33 pints, packed cell was 63 pints and fresh frozen plasma was 70 pints. At the postoperative[reop] 45th day, intrathoracic hemorrhage was stopped and the chest tube was removed. In conclusion, this suggest that uncontrollable bleeding after pleuropneumonectomy of the tuberculous empyema with BPF could be treated without reoperation in case of the mediastinal fixation due to fibrosis and calcification of the pleura and the mediastinum.
