Pulmonary hamartomas are uncommon benign tumors, usually discovered radiologically as a solitary coin lesion in asymptomatic individual. The approach to the patient with a peripheral lung nodule has changed with the increasing acceptance of fine needle aspiration cytology(FNAC) as a rapid, safe, inexpensive, and highly accurate diagnostic tool. However, a few reports describing the FNAC findings of pulmonary hamarioma have appeared in the cytologic literature and the experience of FNAC is limited. We reviewed all 9 cases of pulmonary hamartoma with histologic confirmation after FNAC seen at Asan Medical Center since 1995 to evaluate cytologic findings and to determine the value of FNAC in identifying that lesion. Originally, seven of nine patients were diagnosed as pulmonary hamartoma, while two patients were diagnosed as inflammatory lesion and adenocarcinoma of each. On review, eight of nine patients were considered as diagnostic of pulmonary hamartoma. The diagnostic findings in FNAC of pulmonary hamartoma were the presence of fibrillary myxoid tissue with spindle cells as well as hyaline cartilage.

Screening with low-dose spiral computed tomography (LDCT) has been shown to reduce lung cancer mortality by about 20% when compared to standard chest radiography. One of the problems arising from screening programs is that large amounts of CT image data must be interpreted by radiologists. To solve this problem, automated detection of pulmonary nodules is necessary; however, this is a challenging task because of the high number of false positive results. Here we demonstrate detection of pulmonary nodules using six off-the-shelf convolutional neural network (CNN) models after modification of the input/output layers and end-to-end training based on publicly databases for comparative evaluation. We used the well-known CNN models, LeNet-5, VGG-16, GoogLeNet Inception V3, ResNet-152, DensNet-201, and NASNet. Most of the CNN models provided superior results to those of obtained using customized CNN models. It is more desirable to modify the proven off-the-shelf network model than to customize the network model to detect the pulmonary nodules.

Bronchial carcinoid tumor accounts for less than 5% of all primary lung tumors in adults. Although surgical resection is the treatment of choice, here we report a case of bronchial carcinoid tumor treated with flexible bronchoscopic resection. A 19-year-old-man presented with a history of wheezing with dyspnea for six months. A simple chest x-ray showed no abnormal findings, but a pulmonary function test showed a moderate obstructive lung disease pattern without a bronchodilator response. A computed tomogram of the thorax revealed an enhanced $15{\times}12$ mm nodule in the left main bronchus. Bronchoscopic examination showed a polypoid mass with a stalk in the left main bronchus, which almost completely occluded the left main bronchus. Histopathology of the resected specimen revealed a bronchial carcinoid tumor. We treated the carcinoid tumor with a flexible bronchoscopic resection. During the follow up period of 6 months, the previous tumor didn't relapse. Initial bronchoscopic resection should be considered when bronchial carcinoid tumor can be approached by bronchoscopy.

Diffuse pulmonary ossification is rare disease of unknown etiology. Since the first description by Luschka in 1856, about 140 cases have been reported worldwide, but no such case has been reported in Korea yet. We report 40-year-old woman who was diagnosed as diffuse nodular pulmonary ossification on open lung biopsy. She has no respiratory symptoms & physical findings and no previous disease history. She was incidentally found to have multiple pulmonary nodules on roentgenographic examination. Open lung biopsy was done for above lesion and She was proven to have diffuse nodular pulmonary ossification. She was followed by roentgenographic examination and showed no progression.

부산대학교병원 흉부외과학교실에서는 1990년 1월부터 1995년 6월까지 폐결핵으로 추정진단하에 개 흉술을 시행한 121례를 관찰 분석하였다. 술후 병리조직학적인 최종진단은 폐결핵이 68례로 이중 결핵종이 29례이었으며, 폐암이 23례, 기관지 확장증이 16례, 폐국균종이 6례, 폐농양 2례, 양성낭종 2례등이었다. 121례의 남녀 성비는 81:40 이었고 연령분포는 폐결핵에서는 30대에서 27례(39.7%)로 가장 많았고 폐암에서는 50, 60대가 16례(69.6%)로 높은 빈도를 보였다. 방사선학적 소견상 결절성 병변을 보인 경우가 44례로, 이 중 폐결핵이 29례, 폐암이 15례이었다. 결핵성 결절은 폐암의 경우에 비해 크기가 3cm 미만이었고 석회화와 위성병변을 나타내는 빈도가 높았다. 수술적응은 타 질환 특히 폐암과의 감별을 요한 고립성 결절병변이 44례였고 일엽파괴폐가 31례, 대량객혈 25례, 공동성 병변 11레, 기관지병변이 3례, 일측파괴폐가 5례, 일측파괴폐와 농흉이 동반된 경우가 2례이었다. 술전 폐결핵이 의심됨 때는 폐암, 기관지확장증, 폐국균종, 폐농양 및 기타 양성 종양등과 감별하여야 하며 페결절이 크기가 3cm이상이거나 석회화와 위성병소가 없으며 항결핵제 투여에도 새로이 발생하고 PPD 피부반응검사 음성, CEA 값이 상승한 경우 폐암의 가능성 때문에 조기수술이 요구된다. 반면 크기가 3cm 미만이며 석회화와 위성병소를 동반하거나 PPD 피부반응검사 양성, ESR, CRP, ALP가 상승한 경우는 수술을 연기하고 경과관찰을 할 수 있을 것이다.

Background: Primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the lung is a rare entity. It is represented commonly as marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) type. Although there have been a few reviews of this lymphoma, clinical features, radiologic findings, management and prognosis have not been well defined. Methods: We reviewed the medical records of 24 patients with primary pulmonary lymphoma between January 1995 and September 2008; all diagnoses had been confirmed based on pathology. Results: The median follow-up time was 42.3 months (range, 0.1~131.2 months). Five (20.8%) patients were asymptomatic, 17 (70.8%) patients had pulmonary symptoms, and the remaining 2 (8.3%) patients presented with constitutional symptoms. There were 16 (66.7%) patients with MALT lymphoma, 4 (16.7%) patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and 4 (16.7%) patients with lymphoma that had not received a WHO classification. Radiologic findings of primary pulmonary lymphoma were diverse and multiple nodule or consolidation was the most common finding regardless of pathologic lymphoma type. PET scan was carried out in 13 (54.2%) patients and all lesions showed notable FDG uptake. MALT lymphoma showed a trend of better prognosis (3-year survival, 78.8% vs. 70.0%; 5-year survival, 78.8% vs. 52.5%; p=0.310) than non-MALT lymphoma. Conclusion: Primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the lung occurs with nonspecific clinical features and radiologic findings. MALT lymphoma is the most common pathologic type of primary pulmonary lymphoma. This entity of lymphoma appears to have a good prognosis and in this study, there was a trend of better outcome than non-MALT lymphoma.
