폐에 발생하는 림프관종은 매우 드물지만 낭성 형태나 결절 형태로 흉부 X-선 사진에서 발견되며 최종 진단은 절제술 후에 밝혀지게 된다. 저자들은 방사선 촬영 소견에서 국소적인 늑막삼출 형태를 보인 좌폐 상엽 설상구역에 발생된 낭성 림프관종 1예를 치험하여 보고하는 바이다.

Concept of Cho was used both etiologically and symptomatically at the same time. Hwa was the main cause of diseases derived from Cho, and its damage is on Jin-Eum. Cho is one of the members of Euk-Eum, which belongs to Whae-In, but it is also recognized as pathogen of internal dysfunction, therefore symptoms can be classified into two groups. Whae-cho-zheung and Nae-cho-zheung. Organs related to Cho are lung, stomach, intestine, kidney, liver and gall Bladder. Symptoms of Whae-cho usually combines Pyo-zheung, manifesting on lung and skin, whereas symptoms of Nae-cho combines Rhee-zheung, manifesting on internal organs and tissues. In treating of Cho, Ja-eum-yang-hyul-chung-yeolis the main principle. Chung-Yun-Pe-Weis used in Whae-cho-zheung and Sang-cho-byung, while Yu-Yang-Gan-Shin is used in Nae-cho-zheung and Ha-cho-byung.

배경: 미만성 침윤성 폐질환의 확진을 위해서는 외과적 폐생검이 필요하다. 개흉 폐생검과 흉강경 폐생검 방법을 비교하고 외과적 폐생검이 미만성 간질성 폐질환의 진단에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2000년 3월부터 2005년 12월까지 영남대학교의료원 흉부외과에서 폐생검을 시행한 환자를 후향적 조사를 하였다. 외과적 폐생검 후 조직학적 진단과 치료방침의 변화를 분석하고 소개흉술을 실시한 군(OLB)과 비디오 흉강경수술을 실시한 군(TLB)으로 나누어 비교 분석하였다. 결과: 전체 환자는 36명이었고 기침이 가장 많은 술 전 증상이었다. OLB군과 TLB군 사이에 수술시간, 마취시간, 재원기간, 흉관거치 기간, 채취한 조직의 용적, 합병증 발생률에는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 전 예에서 술 후 조직학적 진단이 가능하였다. 술 후 33%에서 치료 방침의 변화가 있었고 두 군 간유의한 차이는 없었다. 술 후 사망은 1예가 있었고 술 전 호흡부전이 있었던 환자에서 발생하였다. 결론: 외과적 폐생검은 미만성 침윤성 폐질환을 확진할 수 있는 진단방법이고 술 후 치료 방침의 결정에 많은 도움을 준다. 흉강경 폐생검은 개흉 폐생검에 비해 덜 침습적이고 동일한 조직학적 진단율을 보이므로 외과적 폐생검의 기본 수술술기라 할 수 있다.

Oral cancers are one of the most common cancers worldwide today. They are usually neglected by the common population when compared to systemic cancers such as the lung cancer, colon cancer etc. However, they also may be extremely fatal if left untreated even at a very initial stage of the lesion. Early detection and treatment gives the best chance for its cure. The five-year survival rate of oral cancer still remains low and delayed diagnosis is suggested to be one of the major reasons. The detection and diagnosis are currently based on clinical examination, histopathological evaluation of the biopsy material and molecular methods. Several diagnostic aids have been developed over the years for early detection of oral cancer. The purpose of this article is to review the advanced available diagnostic adjuncts for the detection of oral cancer.

A dead marten(Martes melampus) showing cough, ataxia and convulsion of hind limb followed by seizures, was submitted for diagnosis to the Pathology Division of the National Veterinary Research and Quarantine Service. In the gross lesions, lung was congested and consolidated and meningeal blood vessels were mildly congested. Histopathologic findings were diffuse interstitial pneumonia and nonsuppurative meningoencephalitis with malacia of cerebral and cerebellar white matter. Eosinophilic inclusion bodies were observed in neurons and astrocytes and oligodendroglial cells of brain and transitional epithelium of kidney. Using FA test and PCR method, specific antigens of canine distemper virus were demonstrated in the brain.

Most common metastatic tumors of the thyroid gland are squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck region, adenocarcinoma of breast and lung, malignant melanoma, and renal cell carcinoma of kidney in order of frequency. Metastasis from gastrointestinal tract to the thyroid gland rarely occurs. We experienced a case of fine needle aspiraton cytology of metastatic adenocarcinoma of both thyroid glands from the colon. Cytologic smears showed picket-fence like arrangement of nuclei of carcinoma cells and syncytial type of tissue fragments with acinar pattern on necrotic or mucoid background.

We report 4 cases of malignant thymoma which were composed of 2 cases of invasive thymoma and 2 cases of thymic carcinoma. The cytologic findings of invasive thymoma were similar to those of benign thymoma. The distinctive cytologic features of thymic carcinoma were necrotic background, irregular clusters and individually scattered arrangement of anaplastic epithelial cells, and some scattered mature small lymphocytes. These findings may be found in the Hodgkin's lymphoma, seminoma, and metastatic squamous ceil carcinoma, undifferentiated carcinoma, and large ceil carcinoma of the lung. But, the feature of irregular clustering of anaplastic epithelial cell haying scanty cytoplasm was different from Hodgkin's lymphoma and seminoma. Clinical and radiologic findings as well as cytologic finding were helpful in differential diagnosis of thymic carcinoma from metastatic carcinoma.

Pheochromocytoma (PCC) is a neuroendocrine tumor that mainly arises from the medulla of the adrenal gland. Some PCCs become malignant and metastasize to other organs. For example, it typically involves skeletal system, liver, lung, and regional lymph nodes. However, only a few cases of PCC with brain metastasis have been reported worldwide. We report a case of metastatic brain tumor from PCC in South Korea in 2016. A 52-year-old man presented with headache, dizziness and motor aphasia. He had a medical history of PCC with multi-organ metastasis, previously underwent several operations, and was treated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Brain MRIs showed a brain tumor on the left parietal lobe. Postoperative pathology confirmed that the metastatic brain tumor derived from malignant PCC. This is the first report PCC with brain metastasis in South Korea.

Since inflammatory myofibroblastic turner was initially recognized in the lung, this tumor has been described in other extrapulmonary sites. In spite of relatively uniform histologic findings in various organs, a rarity in extrapulmonary sites and highly vascular characteristics frequently lead to a misdiagnosis in preoperative radiology and fine needle aspiration cytology. We present a case of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor occurring in the mesentery of a 4-month-old girl. Fine needle aspiration cytology smear disclosed characteristic spindle cells intermixed with prominent mature plasma cells and lymphocytes. According to the immunohistochemical staining, we recognized that the intervening spindle cells are myofibroblasts which have reactivity for the both actin and vimentin.

Solitary fibrous tumor on the pleura is rare but should be included in the differential diagnosis on a peripheral pulmonary nodule. Cytologic features of solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura is not familar to the pathologist and may be misdiagnosed as malignancy. We report fine needle aspiration cytologic(FNAC) findings of a case of solitary fibrous tumor misdiagnosed as adenocarcinoma in a 48-year-old woman. The FNAC displayed a mixture of bland-looking spindle cells and clusters of epithelioid cells, which have hyperchromatic nuclei with prominent nucleoli. The helpful finding to distinguish It from other circumscribed benign and malignant lesions is the presence of fibromyxoid matrix admixed with blood vessels and thin collagen fibers. Familiarity with these features is essential to avoid misdiagnosis and overtreatment.
