자발성기흉이 원발성 폐암에 동반되어 나타나는 경우는 드물며, 특히, 원발성 폐암의 초발 소견으로 나타나는 경우는 더욱 드문 것으로 보고되고 있다. 우리나라에서도 폐암 환자의 증가 추세와 더불어 폐암에 동반된 자발성 기흉에 대한 논문이 드물게 발표되고 있다. 그러나, 이러한 경우의 폐암은 진행된 경우가 많아 페종양을 절제하게 되는 경우는 드물고 고식적 치료 즉 자발성 기흉의 페쇄성흉관삽관술, 항암요법, 방사선요법이 주가 되는 경우가 많다. 삼성서울병원 흉부외과에서는 최근 단순한 자연 기흉의 진단하에 기포절제술과 늑막유착술을 시행한 후 검체의 조직학적 검사상 원발성 폐암으로 진단되어 즉시 근치적 절제술 및 방사선요법을 시행하였으나 6개월 내 국소 재발된 1예를 경험하였기에 환자의 추적관찰 후 상태와 더불어 보고하는 바이다.

Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) of the spermatic cord represents an uncommon location for the most common soft tissue tumor in adults. MFH of the spermatic cord is extremely rare. No case report has been described in the Korean literature. We report a case of malignant fibrous histiocytoma, myxoid type, arising from left spermatic cord. A 77-year-old male presented with a painless left upper scrotal mass for 5 months. Simple mass excision was performed for a diagnosis. Grossly, the mass closely contacted with the left spermatic cord. Since a myxoid type of malignant fibrous histiocytoma was diagnosed from histopathological findings, left radical orchiectomy with high ligation of the spermatic cord was performed additionally. There were no evidence of local recurrence or metastasis at 6 months after surgery.

저등급의 섬유점액성 육종은 최근에야 진단적 분류가 이루어진, 드문 연부 조직 종양이다. 젊은 성인의 심부연부 조직에서 발생하는 경향이 있으며, 국소 재발이나 원격 전이가 가능하다. 진단적 범주가 확실히 정립되어 있지 않고 특정한 질환명으로 구분되고 있지 않다. 조직학적으로, 주로 소용돌이 양상으로 자라는 방추상세포와 점액성이나 섬유성 기질이 번갈아 관찰되는 것이 특징이다. 형태학적이나 면역조직학적 특징에 대한 세심한 고려가 상기 질환의 진단에 도움이 되며, 다른 양성이나 악성 연부 조직 종양과의 감별에 도움이 된다. 흉백에 발생한 저등급의 섬유점액성 육종을 경험하였기에, 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

We report a case of meningeal hemangiopericytoma presenting as metastasis in the vertebral body and pedicle of the thoracic spine. Hemangiopericytoma is a rare vascular neoplasm. Although the tumor has a strong propensity for both local recurrence and extracranial metastasis, metastasis to thoracic spine is very rare and only two cases were found in the literature. A 44-year-old woman with paraparesis and pain in the thoracic and lower legs was examined by plain radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging. The intracranial hemangiopericytoma was operated 3 years ago. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a tumor invading the left vertebral body and pedicle of the 11th thoracic spine, and compressing the dural sac. The patient was gradually improved after surgical removal of the lesions and the histologic findings were characteristics of hemangiopericytoma.

악성 섬유성 조직구종은 연부조직에 발생한 아주 드문 육종이며, 다각적 인 치료에도 불구하고 조기에 국소적 재발 및 원발성 전이를 일으키는 매우 악성도가 높은 질 환으로특히 흉부외과 영역에서의 보고는 매우 드물다. 최근 전북대학교병원 흉부외과학 교실에서는 좌측 흉벽에서 기 원하여 폐까지 침범된 악성 섬유성 조직구종을 가진 37세 남자환자를 치험 하였다 심하게 유착된 종괴와 제 1,제2, 제3 늑골과 종양이 침범된 좌상엽을 한덩 어 리로 적출하고 결손된 흉벽 에는 marlex mesh를 이용하여 흉벽재건을 시행하였다. 그러나 술후 방사선 및 항암요법에도 불구하고 술후 12개월내에 국소적 재발 및 원발성 전이를 보였다.

선양낭성암종은 귀밑샘 및 턱밑샘에서 발생하는 비교적 드문 종양으로 치료는 수술적 제거와 재발 방지를 위하여 방사선요법을 시행하지만, 국소적 재발은 흔하고, 원격 전이는 드물지 않게 발생한다. 저자들은 일차성 턱밑샘 종양을 제거한 9년 후에 폐로 원격 전이가 된 59세 남자환자를 좌측 폐쐐기절제술 후 추적 관찰 84개월 동안 재발 없음을 보고하는 바이다.

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) represents 2% to 3% of human cancers and is aggressive, with metastatic capability. The frequent metastatic sites are lung, bone, and liver. Reports of RCC metastatic to skin, and especially scalp are rare. Here we present an 83-year-old woman who was diagnosed with RCC 19 years prior and had a metastatic scalp lesion. An 83-year-old woman presented with a red-to-purple, protruding lesion at the right parietotemporal area. Twenty-three years ago, a right renal mass was incidentally discovered on ultrasound through a routine medical examination. She underwent right nephrectomy for RCC 4 years later. Five months after nephrectomy, new lung nodules were observed. Fifteen years after nephrectomy, metastatic lesions were found in the pelvic bone. She visited dermatology department for evaluation of the new scalp lesion, a year before she first visited our department. Despite chemotherapy, the mass was gradually enlarged. She consulted the plastic surgery department for management of the metastatic RCC was successfully treated with total excision including a 1-cm safety margin, local flap, and STSG coverage. Complete healing was observed, without evidence of recurrence during a 7-month followup. Metastases to the skin are rare, but must be kept in mind because of its high metastatic ability and poor prognosis.

Background: McKeown first described two autopsy cases of esophageal small cell carcinoma (SMC) in 1952; about 230 cases have since been reported in the literature. Small cell carcinoma has been reported to account for 0.4% to 7.6% of all esophageal malignancies. SMC of the esophagus as regarded as having a poor prognosis with frequent systemic dissemination. Choice of treatment remains controversial. Material and Method: From August 1987 to December 1998, a review of the records and histologic sections of 8 patients with primary small cell carcinoma of the esophagus seen in 11 years was undertaken. Result: Small cell carcinoma of the esophagus constituted 1.5% of all esophageal cancers. The median age was 61.5 years(range from 42 to 71 years). Seven patients were male, tumor was mainly located in the middle and lower thirds(6 cases) of the esophagus. Pure SMC is 5 cases, and mixed SMC is 3 cases. Operative procedure were as follow: transthoracic esophagectomy with thoracic or cervical reconstructon in 7 patients, transhiated esophagectomy with cervical reconstruction in one. The operative death was none. Adjuvant chemotherapy was performed in 7 patients except one who had poor general condition. Recurrence was observed in 4 patients(mediastinal LN, abdominal LN, SCN, bone). The overall median survival was 15.9 months. Only one patient survived for more than 5 years. Conclusion: We considered that esophageal SMC should be regarded as a systemic disease, and multimodality treatment including chemotherapy should be used. Surgery may be offered in selected patients to manage local disease as part of a chemotherapy based treatment program.

Spindle epithelial tumor with thymus-like differentiation (SETTLE) is an extremely rare type of thyroid tumor, with spares reports on its clinical course. SETTLE is derived from branchial pouch or thymic remnants, and classified as a low grade, malignant neoplasm due to its indolent growth and tendency to develop delayed metastasis. Therefore, stringent initial workups and long-term follow-up are required to prevent misdiagnosis. We present a case of recurrent spindle epithelial tumor with thymus-like differentiation (SETTLE) in the glottis of 57 year-old male patient, who had a history of surgical excision for the SETTLE from the thyroid gland 5 years ago. Transoral CO2 laser surgery was performed to remove the glottic tumor and there was no evidence of local recurrence at 11 months postoperatively.

Leiomyosarcoma is a rare form of soft tissue neoplasm, with only 1% to 5% occurring in the head and neck region. Current recommended treatment suggests surgical excision with a wide lateral margin, but no definite guidelines regarding excisional margin have been established yet. Recently, complete excision with a narrow surgical margin has been recommended, and the authors present a case of cutaneous leiomyosarcoma on the face that was successfully managed by complete removal with a narrow excisional margin. A 74-year-old woman presented with a 3 cm sized, rapidly growing cutaneous mass on her right preauricular area. Preoperative biopsy of the skin lesion suggested a cutaneous leiomyosarcoma. The authors performed complete surgical excision with a 1 cm lateral margin, and the resulting skin defect was repaired with bilateral V-Y advancement local flaps. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry evaluation confirmed a moderately differentiated cutaneous leiomyosarcoma, with negative margin involvement. The patient refused of any additional treatment, but showed no locoregional recurrence during the 1.5 years of postoperative follow-up period. With a regular postoperative follow-up, cutaneous leiomyosarcomas may be successfully treated with a narrow surgical margin.
