A case of metastatic mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the lung, originating from the hard palate, was diagnosed by sputum and bronchial washing cytology. Although the cytologic features of mucoepidermoid carcinoma have been well described, it is easy to confuse mucoepidermoid carcinoma with the more common primary adenocarcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma of the lung. The features distinguishing mucoepidermoid carcinoma from other primary neoplasms include 1) mucus-secreting cells individually and in clusters admixed with other cell components, 2) epidermoid cells identified by the presence of abundant spread-out cytoplasm and an oval dark nucleus and 3) intermediate cells resembling normal ductal epithelial cells with moderate-to-scanty cytoplasm, a central, round vesicular nucleus and a prominent nucleolus. The morphologic features of metastatic mucoepidermoid carcinoma in this case were similar to those of primary salivary mucoepidermoid carcinoma.

연구배경: 최근 급증하는 폐암에 대해 국내에서는 단위 병원의 폐암 환자의 특성, 조직학적 분류에 따른 분포, 진단 방법, 치료방법에 대한 수년간의 통계들이 있을 뿐 전국적인 조사는 없어 전국적인 폐암환자의 기초자료의 필요성이 대두되었다. 방 법: 대한 결핵 및 호흡기 학회에서는 전국을 대상으로 1997년 1년 동안 조직학적으로 증명된 원발성 폐암환자를 대상으로 환자의 특성, 폐암의 조직학적 분류, 병기, 치료법 등 폐암의 특성을 조사하였다. 결 과: 총 3,794명을 분석하여 다음의 결과를 얻었다. 1) 남자 환자가 79.3%였으며 평균 연령은 62.0세(남자 62.2세, 여자는 61.6세)였으며 76.8%가 흡연자로 남자환자의 89.8%, 그리고 여자환자의 25.4%가 흡연자이었다. 2) 병리학적으로는 편평상피세포암이 44.7%, 선암 27.9%, 기관지폐포세포암 2.2%, 대세포폐암 1.5%, 소세포폐암 16.8%로 관찰되었다. 흡연력은 편평상피세포암의 87.5%, 선암의 56.2%, 기판지폐포세포암의 35.5%, 대세포폐암의 94.1% 및 소세포폐암의 84.3%가 흡연자였으며 편평상피세포폐암 및 소세포폐암 환자에 비해 선암 환자의 흡연자 비율이 유의하게 낮았다(p<0.001). 3) 조직학적 진단방법은 객담세포진 검사가 15.5%, 기관지내시경을 통한 조직검사가 44.4%, 경피적 폐침생검법이 19.7%으로 중심형 암인 편평상피세포암 및 소세포암 환자에서는 기관지내시경 조직검사로 가장 많이 진단이 이루어진 반면 선암 및 대세포폐암 환자에서는 경피적 폐침생검법으로 진단이 많이 이루어졌다(p<0.001). 4) 환자의 진단시 증상은 기침 57.2%, 객담 40.8%, 호흡곤란 35.4%에서 보고되었으며 증상이 없었던 경우도 7.2%이었다. 5) 비소세포폐암환자 임상적 병기는 제I기 13.7%, 제II기 4.5%, 제IIIA기 16.6%, 제IIIB기 28.8% 및 제IV기 36.5%로 진행되어 발견되는 경우가 많았다. 소세포폐암환자 609명 중 제한병기가 45.2%, 확대병기가 54.8%이었다. 결 론: 폐암은 남자 및 흡연자에서 주로 발생하였으며 편평상피세포암이 가장 많았다. 따라서 이러한 국내의 자료는 폐암환자에서 여성의 비율이 상대적으로 높고 선암이 가장 흔한 폐암으로 알려진 구미의 자료와는 차이가 있었다. 진행된 상태에서 발견되는 경우가 많아 조기발견 프로그램의 개발 필요성이 제시되었다.

Lung cancer is one of the most disastrous of all the current cancers in Korea. In 1990 it was projected that there would be 5, 500 new lung cancer patients in Korea and that 5, 000 would die of their disease. This is a mortality rate of 91 percent. We reviewed the surgically treated 153 bronchogenic cancer patients from January 1987 to December 1991 in St. Mary`s Hospital of Catholic University Medical College. There were 121 men and 32 women ranging in age from 18 to 83 years, with a mean of 56 years. Of the 153 patients, resection was possible in 138 patients and the resectability was 90.1 percent. Squamous cell carcinoma was present in 48 percent of patients, adenocarcinoma in 29 percent, adenosquamous carcinoma in 7 percent, large cell carcinoma in 6 percent, salivary gland tumor in 5 percent, and small cell carcinoma and carcinoid in 3 percent respectively. Postoperative cancer staging was grouped stage I 33 percent, stage II 21 percent, stage IIIa 35 percent, and stage IIIb 10 percent. Lobectomy was performed in 70 percent, pneumonectomy in 17 percent, and segmentectomy in 14 percent. Three and 5-year postoperative survival in resectable 138 patients were 47 and 29 percent respectively.

배경: 많은 실험적인 연구에서 종양 조직 내의 아포프토시스와 미세 혈관의 생성은 서로 반비례한다고 보고된다. 비소세포 폐암 조직내에서 두 수치의 관계를 조사하여 보았다. 대상 및 방법:조직내의 아포프토시스의 정도는 deoxynucleotidyl trasferase방법으로(Apop Tag In Situ Apoptosis Detection Kit, ONCOR) 측정하였고, 종양내 미세 혈관 밀도는 항 CD 31 항체를 이용하였다. 결과:아포프토시스 지수와 종양내 미세 혈관 밀도 사이에는 통계적으로 유의하게 역 상관관계가 있었다(p = 0.047). 결론: 비소세포 폐암종에서 아포프토시스와 미세 혈관 생성의 정도는 서로 연관이 있다고에 할 수있다. 그리고 종양내의 신생 혈관의 생성이 종양내 아포프토시스의 억제에 기여한다고 유추 할 수 있다.

A dog with anorexia, cough, and regurgitation was referred to clinic. Diagnostic imaging revealed a solitary mass involving the right cranial and middle lung lobes, compression of the cranial vena cava, and deviation of the heart and mediastinum toward the left side because the mass. The mass was diagnosed as a squamous cell carcinoma via fine needle aspiration. Ten days later, the tumor was larger and the clinical signs were more severe. A combination of piroxicam and itraconazole was administered to control the mass. Two weeks after initiating this treatment, the tumor size decreased and the clinical signs improved significantly.

From April 1986 to Dec 1988, fifty one patients with carcinoma of lung were treated by radiation therapy in Department of Therapeutic Radiology, Yeungnam University Hospital Of the 51 patients, $31(61\%)$ were squamous cell ca, $8(15.7\%)$ were small cell ca, and remained $4(7.9\%)$ were other cell types. Total radiation dose was average $64Gy (60\~75 Gy)$ for group A and 45Gy $(40\~59Gy)$ for group B. The mass regression and the response of airway obstruction to radiation therapy was established on the basis of follow up chest X-ray. The mass regression above $50\%$ of total volume was noted in 23 patients $(74.2\%)$ among 31 patients and the difference between two groups was not seen. In squamous cell ca, however, the mass regression rate (above $50\%$ of total volume) was $83.3\%$ (10/12) in group A compared to $50\%$ (3/6) in group B(p<0.05). The alleviation of airway obstruction was noted as follows. In group A, CR $42.9\%$, PR $35.7\%$, no response $21.4\%$ and in group B, CR $55.6\%,\;PR\;33.3\%$, no response $11.1\%$. But, in squamous cell ca, responsiveness is higher than group B. The study indicates that the importance of higher radiation dose in the management of primary tumor mass and airway obstruction caused by lung cancer especially squamous cell ca. So, meticulous treatment planning and multimodality combination therapy without increasing si.do elect or complication is recommended in management of inoperable bronchogenic carcinoma.

Background: The main goal of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of reverse transcription-nested polymerase chain reaction (RT-nested PCR) in bronchial washing fluid with MAGE A1-6 common primers for the detection of lung cancers invisible by bronchoscopy. Methods: To determine the expression of MAGE A1-6 gene in 189 lung cancers diagnosed by conventional fluoroscopy-guided lung biopsy and 89 cancer-free controls, RT-nested PCR was performed in bronchial washing specimens. We analyzed MAGE A1-6 RT-nested PCR data according to tumor histology, stage, size, and compared them with cytological data. Results: 189 patients (111 cases in adenocarcinoma, 47 cases in squamous cell carcinoma, 22 cases in small cell lung carcinoma, and 9 cases in other cancers) and 89 benign patients were investigated. The expression of MAGE was performed by nested RT-PCR using common MAGE primer. Among 189 cancer patients, the expression rate of MAGE was 49.2%, and the positive predictive value was 89.4%. However, the expression rate of MAGE in patients with benign lesions was 12.4%. In peripheral lung cancer, the positive rate of MAGE expression was 57.4% in squamous cell carcinoma, 44.1% in adenocarcinoma and 59.1% in small cell lung cancer. Whereas the expression rate of bronchial washing cytology in peripheral lung cancer was 9.0% (p=0.011). Conclusion: MAGE RT-PCR in bronchial washing fluid gave us promising data for the detection of peripheral lung cancer. It could be a useful method for selecting diagnostic tools for peripheral lesions.

A 64-year-old male was admitted due to weight loss of 5kg during a month. Chest X-ray showed two large, lobulated masses on both lower lobe. Chest CT showed ill-defined, multilobulated mass on left lower lobe and irregular, relatively homogenous mass with air-bronchogram on right lower lobe. Left lower lobectomy and right lower lobectomy was performed sequentially with three months interval. Microscopic findings showed squamous cell carcinoma of both mass. It was thought that this patient had synchronous double primary lung cancer.

Percutaneous needle aspiration has been widely used in the diagnosis of pulmonary lesions, because it is a fairly simple procedure with good diagnostic accuracy and low complication rate. Among its complications, the spread of malignant cells along the needle tract is rare but serious one. We report a case of chest wall implantation of lung cancer after the percutaneous fine needle aspiration biopsy. A 57-year-old man had undergone a right upper lobectomy for squamous cell carcinoma [T2N0M0] of the lung, 3 months after the operation, a growing mass, located far from the previous thoracotomy incision, developed on the right anterior chest wall where the diagnostic thin needle biopsy had been performed before the lobectomy. A wide excision of the chest wall mass was performed, and permanent histology showed squamous cell carcinoma as noted before.
