미만성 간질성 폐질환의 진단은 임상소견, 기관지폐포 세척액 검사, 경기관지 생검 그리고 폐생검등이 이용되고 있다. 확진을 위해서는 폐생검을 하여야 하며 흉강경을 이용한 폐생검이 흉강내를 자세히 관찰하여 적절한 위치을 선정할 수 있고 개흉적 폐생검보다 수술후 통증이 적음으로 해서 합병증이나 입원기간을 단 축하는 장점이 있다 중앙대학교 의과대학 흉부외과 교실에서는 1994년 4월부터 1996년 12월까지 미만성 간질성 폐질환 환자 22 명에서 흉강경을 이용한 폐생검을 실시하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 남녀비는 14:8로 남자에서 많았고 평균연령은 54.6세, 연령분포는 60대가 7례로 가장 많았다. 2. 생검부위는 좌우폐비가 6:20로 우측에서 많았으며, 부위별로는 우하엽이 13례, 우상엽이 4례, 우중엽이 3 례, 좌상엽이 3례 좌하엽이 3례로서 우하엽이 많았으며 한부위에서만 시행한 환자가 \ulcorner례, 2군데서 시행한 환자가 4례 있었다. 3. 수술전후 폐기능검사는 WC, FEVI, FEV1/PVC에서 의미있는 변화는 없었다. 4. 생검결과 통상성 간질성 폐렴이 8례로 가장 많았고 그 다음 속립성 결핵에 의한 것이 4례, 전이성 암성 폐질환이 3례, 박리성 간질성 폐렴, 기질화된 폐렴을 동반한 폐쇄성 기관지염이 각각 2례, 기타 유육종증, 범세기관지염, 기관지 확장증이 각각 1례씩 있었다. 결론적으로 미만성 간질성 폐질환 환자에서 확진을 위한 흉강경을 이용한 폐생검은 폐기능이 나쁜데도 불구 하고 안전하고 유용하게 사용할 수 있다.

In the diagnostic evaluation of thoracic lesions, the image-guided transthoracic needle biopsy was developed, and its role was expanded with the development of cross-sectional detection and characterization of thoracic lesions and advances in biopsy needle design and techniques. Particularly for diagnostic evaluation of solitary pulmonary nodules, transthoracic needle biopsy has emerged as the invasive procedure of choice. This article covers the indication, the pre-procedure preparation, various guidance-modalities and techniques, and complications.

Twenty eight patients with conpnital heart disuse underwent lung biopsy to assets pulmonary obstructive vascular disease at cardiac surpry. Thirteen patients had patent ductus arteriosus, 10, ventricular septal defects and S, atrial septal defects. The aaes were between 2 and 30 years. In patients with patent ductus arteriosus lung biopsy was performed from the IIngular Hlment. The anterior seament of the right upper lobe was blopsled in cases with ventricular septal defect and atrial septal defect. Grading of pulmonary obstructive vascular disease could not be assessed In 9 cases. In 2 cases poor quality of the slides made us impossible to evaluate and In 7 cases there were no suitable small muscular arteries to evaluate in the slides of lung tissue especially taken from the IIngular seament. Nineteen cases were evaluated pulmonary obstructive vascular disease. Among them 17 cases had Heath-Edwards changes of grade 1 and 2 patients had that of grade 3. The thickness of media was measured. It was expressed as percentage of medial thickness to outer diameter of artery. The medial thickness was correlated proportionally with elevation of pulmonary arterial pressure and pulmonary vascular resistance to systemic vascular resistance ratio. There were no complications related to the procedure of lung biopsy.

Renal transplant recipients who received immunosuporessive agent are in high risk of development Kaposi's sarcoma. In Korea a few report of Kaposi's sarcoma has been pubilshed but any report of intrathoracic Kaposi's sarcoma provedn by open lung biopsy has not been pulbilshed until now. We report a case of intrathoracic Kaposi's sarcoma developed in a 25 year old Korean man, who had been operated renal transplantation due to end stage renal disease and received cyclosporine and prednisolone as immunosuppessive agent, without any other organ involvment and was proven by open lung biopsy. Although discontinuation of immunosuppressive agent, temporary symptomatic and radilolgic improvement were observed, he died 11 days later after open lung biopsy because of intractable resiratory failure.

Background: This study was designed to determine the accuracy of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid cytology (BAL) using histopathologic examination of transbronchial biopsy specimens as the gold standard in diagnosis of lung carcinoma at our center. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted to investigate a total of 388 patients who were suspected of having lung cancer and had undergone fiberoptic bronchoscopy in Shahid Sadoughi hospital from 2006 to 2011. Lung masses were proven to be malignant by histology. Results: Transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) identified malignancy in 183 of the 388 cases, including 48 cases (26.2%) with adenocarcinoma, 4(2.1%) with bronchioloalveolar carcinoma, 47(25.6%)with squamous cell carcinoma, 34(18.5%) with well-diffentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma, 35(19.1%) with small cell carcinoma, 14 (7.6%) with non-small cell carcinoma, and 1 (0.54%) with large cell carcinoma. A total of 205 cases were correctly classified as negative. BAL was also performed in 388 patients; 86/103 cases were consistent with the final diagnosis of lung cancer and 188/285 cases were correctly classified as negative. The sensitivity of BAL was 46.9%(CI:41.9%, 51.8%)) and its specificity was 91.6%(CI:88.8%, 94.3%). BAL had a positive predictive value (PPV) of 83.4%(CI:79.7%, 87.1%) and a negative predictive value (NPV) of 65.8%(CI:61%, 70.5%). The overall accuracy of BAL was 70.5% and the exact concordance was 39%. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that BAL cytology is not sensitive but is a specific test for diagnosis of lung carcinoma. If transbronchial lung biopsy is combined with bronchoalveolar lavage, the positive diagnostic rate will be further elevated.

Background: Open lung biopsy is used for diagnosis of diffuse infiltrative lung diseases (DILD), but it is invasive and relatively expensive procedure. Fluoroscopy-guided cutting needle lung biopsy (FCNLB) has merits of avoidance of admission and rapid diagnosis. But diagnostic accuracy and safety were not well known in the diagnosis of DILD. Methods: We included 52 patients (37 men, 15 women) having DILD on HRCT with dyspnea, except the patients who could be confidently diagnosed with clinical and HRCT findings. FCNLB was performed using 16G Ace cut needle (length 1.5 cm, diameter 2 mm) at the area of most active lesion on HRCT. Final diagnoses were made by the consensus. Results: The mean interval between the HRCT and FCNLB was 4.5 days. Most cases were performed one biopsy during 5~10 minutes. Specific diagnosis was obtained in 43 of 52 biopsies (83%). The most common diagnosis was nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (11 cases) and followed by cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (7 cases), diffuse alveolar hemorrhage and usual interstitial pneumonia (5 cases in each), hypersensitivity pneumonitis (3 cases), tuberculosis and drug induced interstitial pneumonitis (2 cases in each), the others are in one respectively. Mild complication was developed in 9 patients (8 pneumothorax, 1 hemoptysis). Most of complications were regressed without treatment except one case with chest tube insertion for pneumothorax. Conclusion: Fluoroscopy-guided 16 G cutting needle lung biopsy was an useful method for the diagnosis of DILD.

목적: 미만성 간질성 폐질환은 공통의 임상 양상, 방사선 소견, 폐기능 장애 소견을 갖는, 무수히 많은 원인 질환들로 구성되어 있어 개흉폐생검 등의 조직학적 진단이 표준으로 받아들여지고 있지만 관혈적 진단 방법이라는 단점이 있다. 고해상도 전산화단층촬영은 해상력을 높이고 음영의 중첩 효과를 최소화함으로써 폐간질의 미세한 변화까지 관찰할 수 있게 하겨 미만성 간질성 폐질환의 진단에 매우 유용한 진단 방법이다. 저자들은 이런 고해상도 전산화단층촬영을 한 환자에서 개흉폐생검을 시행하여 진단 및 치료에 어느 정도의 추가 이익을 얻을 수 있었는지 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 1988년 3월부터 1994년 7월까지 미만성 간질성 폐질환의 진단적 목적으로 개흉폐생검을 시행한 30예의 환자들을 대상으로 후향적으로 고해상도 전산화단층촬영의 진단과 개흉폐생검외 진단 결과를 비교하고 각 환자들의 치료 방침을 조사하였다. 결과: 고해상도 전산화단층촬영은 28예에서 시행되었는데 이 중 22예(78.6%)에서 특이적 진단이 가능하였고 22예 중 20예에서는 개흉폐생검에 의해 같은 진단으로 확진되었다. 나머지 2예 중 1예는 개흉폐생검 결과가 비특이적이었다. 개흉폐생검은 전체 30예 중 25예(83.3%)에서 특이적 진단을 하였다. 또한 고해상도 전산화단층촬영으로 특이 진단이 불가능하였다. 6예 중 5 예(83.3%)에서 특이적 진단을 하였다. 전체 30예 중 단지 2예에서만 치료 방침의 결정적인 변화가 있었다. 결론: 미만성 간질성 폐질환 환자에서 고해상도 전산화단층촬영이 특이적 진단을 강력히 시사하는 경우에 개흉폐생검의 펼요성 여부에 대해서는 재검토가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

Two-hundred and eighteen patients were taken bronchoscopy to evaluate the value of bronchoscopic diagnosis in the lung cancer patient at the Department of Thoracic Surgery of the Kyung-pook University Hospital. Ninety-eight eases of these patients were studied for possible lung cancer by bronchoscopic examination, biopsy and bronchial cytologv. The results were obtained as follows: Two-hundred and eighteen patients were taken bronchoscopy to evaluate the value of bronchoscopic diagnosis in the lung cancer patient at the Department of Thoracic Surgery of the Kyung-pook University Hospital. Ninety-eight eases of these patients were studied for possible lung cancer by bronchoscopic examination, biopsy and bronchial cytologv. The results were obtained as follows: 1) Forty-five (55.5%) of 81 cases impressed as definitive, and six (35. 3%) of 17 cases impressed as probable lung cancer were subsequently proved to have lung cancer. This represents a total of 51 cases (52. 0%) of 98 patients. 2) Twenty-six (51.0%) of 51 patients were proved by bronchoscopic biopsy and cytology. 3) The positive rates of bronchoscopic biopsy were higher in the lesions on tile intermediate bronchus, carina and main stem bronchi by bronchoscopy, and also in the hilar than in peripheral lesions by X-ray finding and in histologically undifferentiated cell carcinoma than in adenocarcinoma. 4) The positive diagnosis rates of bronchoscopic aspirate were not correlated to the locations of cancer lesions. 5) Thirty- nine percent of 51 case3 were visualized definitive tumor mass and obstructive lesions under bronchoscopy. 6) Patient of lung cancer varied in age from 27 to 77 years, with highest concentration lying in the 5th decade (43.0%). Forty-seven patients were men and 4 were women giving a proportion of men to women, 12: 1 7) Sixty-five percent of proved lung cancer patients were diagnosed as operable cases. Fifty-three percent of explored patients were resected. These results conclude that bronchoscopy is of a considerable value as a diagnostic procedure in these lung cancer patients.

A 43-year-old woman with breast cancer who was on neoadjuvant chemotherapy presented with cough, sputum and mild fever. High-resolution computed tomography showed diffuse ground glass opacities in bilateral lungs and subpleural patchy consolidations. Initially, she was thought to have pneumonia or interstitial lung diseases such as drug-induced pneumonitis and treated with antibiotics and steroids. She subsequently got breast cancer surgery because of disease progression, and concurrent thoracoscopic lung biopsy revealed metastatic carcinoma of the lung from breast cancer. The diagnosis of suspected interstitial lung disease can be made without lung biopsy, but malignancy should always be considered and lung biopsy should be performed in the absence of a definitive clinical diagnosis.

전산화단층촬영 유도하 폐 병소의 생검(CT guided lung biopsy)시 환자의 움직임을 최소화 하는 것은 시술에 있어 중요한 요소이다. 이에 움직임을 최소화 하고자 진공 고정기구(vacuum cushion)를 사용하여 그 효용성을 평가하였다. 연구대상은 자세 고정 및 호흡 조절이 잘 협조된 환자 40세 이상, 총 116명을 대상으로 하였다. 자세 측정은 폐 병소 생검 병변의 각 위치에 따라, 바로누운자세, 엎드린자세, 사방향자세, 측와위자세로 측정 하였다. 측정 위치는 해부학적 자세 기준으로 전방향, 후방향, 우측, 좌측에서 측정하였다. 엎드린자세에서 posterior의 미사용의 평균과 사용의 평균차는 1.7905이며 t=2.913(p<0.01)로 미사용/사용의 평균 차이는 통계적으로 유의미하다. 오른쪽방향의 미사용 평균과 사용 평균의 차는 2.4105로 나타났으며 t=3.684(p<0.01)로 왼쪽방향의 평균 차이 또한 유의미했다. 오른쪽방향의 미사용 평균과 사용 평균 차는 2.3263이며 t=3.791(p<0.01)로 미사용과 사용의 평균 차이는 통계적으로 유의미하다. 통계 분석 결과 고정기구를 사용하여 폐 병소의 생검을 시술 한 경우가 모든 자세에서 움직임이 적었다. CT유도하 폐 병소의 생검의 시술시 고정기구를 활용하여 보다 정확한 생검시술과 환자의 자세 움직임을 최소화 할 수 있음에 대한 연구를 진행하였다는 데에 의의가 있다고 사료된다.
