종격동에 발생한 림프혈관종은 아주 드문 질환으로 수술 전 컴퓨터 단층촬영과 자기공명 혈관촬영상 흉선 기원 종양으로 오인된 환자의 수술 소견상 무명정맥에서 기인하는 혈관조직의 증식을 보였다. 병리검사상 림프조직과 혈관조직을 모두를 보여 림프혈관종으로 진단하였다.

The most common cause of primary hyperparathyroidism is a single adenoma accounts for more than 85% and about 1-2% in multiple occurrence. The adenoma arises mainly in the neck and rarely in the mediastinum. The simultaneous occurrence is extremely rare. A 73-year-old man came to our clinic complained about sense of falling forward during last eight months. The brain MRI and vestibular function test showed non-specific findings but total calcium and intact parathyroid hormone levels were markedly elevated. Radiologic studies and sesta-MIBI scan revealed multiple masses in lower paratracheal area and superior mediastinum. We performed mass excision with transcervical approach and all of them were diagnosed as parathyroid adenoma. After surgery, intact PTH and calcium levels returned to the normal range and his symptoms were dramatically improved. We report the unique and rare disease entity with a brief literature review.

A 42-year-old woman with short-term memory loss visited Gangnam Severance Hospital, and her chest X-ray and computed tomography revealed a right anterior mediastinal mass. On hospital day two, she suddenly presented personality changes and a drowsy mental status, so she required ventilator care in the intensive care unit. She underwent thymectomy, and was pathologically diagnosed with thymoma, type B1. Her mental status eventually recovered by postoperative day 90. Paraneoplastic encephalopathy associated with thymoma is very rare, and symptoms can be improved by thymectomy. We report a case of paraneoplastic encephalopathy associated with a thymoma.

Good증후군은 성인에서 발생하는 B세포 와 T세포 면역 결핍증의 드문 원인 질환으로 임상적인 특징은 세군 감염 빈도의 증가 및 바이러스, 진군의 기회 감염이다. 가장 일치하는 면역학적 이상은 저감마글로부린 혈증과 B세포가 감소되거나 소실되는 것이다. 이 증후군의 치료는 흉선종의 절제 및 적절한 면역글로부린 G 역가를 유지하기 위한 면역글로부린의 투여이다. 저자는 1예의 Good증후군을 경험하였는데 환자는 64세 여자로 빈번한 비강 폐 감염의 병력을 가지고 있다. 흉부전산화단층 촬영에서 폐렴과 전 종격동 종괴의 소견을 보였으며 경피적 침 생검에서 흉선종으로 진단되었다. 환자는 흉선절제술을 시행 받았으며 저감마 글로부린혈증을 치료하기 위해서 면역글로부린을 투여 받았다.

Malignant thymoma is usually manifested as a mediastinal mass. Occasiomally, these tumors may be associated with a variety of systemic syndromes, such as myasthenia gravis, pure red cell aplasia or hypogammaglobulinemia However, it is generally accepted that thymomas rarely metastasize and the frequency of extrathoracic metastasis has been reported as 1 to 15%. In general, nuclear changes of tumor cells such as enlarged size, irregular shape and altered textures are determining factors in the assessment of the grade of malignancy. We experienced a case of malignant thymoma of anterior mediastinum in a 35-year-old woman. After 3 years, she developed recurrent malignant thymoma in the right supraclavicular area, diagnosed by aspiration biopsy cytology.

Thymoma is the most common anterior mediastinal mass in adult, and arises from thymic epithelial cells which includes consists various proportions of epithelial and lymphocytic aspect. Thymic epithelial cell arises from the ventral wings of the third and fourth branchial pouches in the embryo, and these cells are considered tumorous condition of thymoma. Surgical resection is main treatment of thymoma. And adjuvant chemotherapy or radiation is considered due to postoperative pathologic diagnosis. We experienced a tumor which located from left anterior neck along superior mediastinum on chest radiograph incidentally and diagnosed parathyroid adenoma clinically. After surgical removal, final pathologic report was thymoma. Here, we present the case with a review of the related literatures.

식도평활근종은 식도암에 비해 매우 드물지만 식도양성종양의 대부분을 차지한다. 식도질환의 수술 은 개흥을 통해 시행되 었으나 흥강경수슬의 발달과 함께 일부 식도수술을 흉강경을 이 용하여 수술을 하 게되었다. 저자들은 상부식도에 발생한 평활근종을 흥강경을 이용하여 절제하고 좋은 결과를 얻었다. 환자는 24세 남자로 내원 2개월전부터 발생한 흥골후방 불쾌감과 경미한 연하곤란을 호소하였다. 식도 위장관촬영과 식도경검사에서 상부식도에 점막의 변화없는 점 막하종양이 있었으며 흉부전산화단층 및 자기공명영상 촬영으로 종양의 위치,크기 및 주위조직으로의 침범과 종격동 림프절종대가 없음을 확인 하였다. 종양은 흥강경을 이용하여 제거하였고, 크기는 4$\times$2xlcm로 병리조직검사상 평활근종으로 진 단되었다. 환자는 수술후 10일째 이상없이 퇴원하였다.

Primary neoplasms of the trachea are rare, but are a very serious critical life-threatening disease. Nearly all the lesions of the trachea are presented as obstructive lesions. Bronchoscopic examination including chest C-T, tomogram and air tracheogram are essential for the further definition of these lesions. The need for removal of tracheal tumors whether complete or incomplete, is clear enough regardless of the histology of the tumor. We have experienced 9 cases from Jan. 1965 to June, 1985. One patient with tracheal hamartoma was cured with complete resection through rigid bronchoscopy and another patient with fibrous histiocytoma was treated with re-excision and laser evaporation through superior mediastinotomy due to recurrence, 1 year later. The remaining patients were treated with mass excision or segmental resection and end-to-end anastomosis through collar incision and superior mediastinal sternotomy. The remaining two patients were operated with and segmental resection and end-to-end anastomosis of trachea using partial cardiopulmonary bypass. The histologic diagnosis were adenoid cystic Ca[5], fibrous histiocytoma[1], mucoepidermoid Ca[1]. hamartoma[1], anaplastic Ca.[1]. Three patients were treated post-operatively with radiation; with adenoid cystic Ca.[2] and anaplastic Ca.[1]. Their post-operative courses were uneventful during the follow-up from 2 months to 7 years.

Tracheal stenosis can be classified into intrinsic stenosis secondary to tracheal inflammatory lesion or mass effect and extrinsic stenosis secondary tumors of thyroid, esophagus and mediastinum. Extrinsic stenosis which is frequently encountered in clinical setting could be often overlooked due to mild symptom. Recently, even with the increasing interest in extrinsic tracheal stenosis there are limitation in it's diagnosis and treatment. The purpose of this study is to provide guidance in the diagnosis and treaonent of extrinsic tracheal stenosis. Here, we report the etiology, symptoms, radiologic findings, pulmonary fuction finding, treatment and its results in 26 cases of extrinsic tracheal stenosis. Causes of extrinsic tracheal stenosis included compression of aiway by thyroid benign tumor in 13 cases to be the most common, next by thyroid malignancy in 9 cases, metastatic mediastinal turner in 2 cases, 1 case each for esophageal cancer and parathyroid cancer. In 3 cases simple tracheal resection and end to end anastomosis were done, 1 cases underwent total laryngectomy, and 8 cases were treated by conservative management, where all cases failed in treatment. The remaining 14 cases were successfully treated by removing the causes and maintaining tracheal tube insertion for amount of time. Extrinsic tracheal stenosis due to benign conditions were treated satisfactorily by removing mass, however with the malignant causes there was considerable amount of difficulty in treatment.

종격동에 발생하는 생식세포종양에서 미성숙 기형종과 정상피종이 혼합된 경우는 매우 드물며 예후는 좋지 않은 것으로 알려져 있다. 저자들은 객혈을 주소로 내원한 환자에서 수술로 확진한 미성숙 기형종과 장상피종이 혼합된 생식세포 종양의 1예를 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.
