상피모양혈관내피종은 혈관에서 기인하는 매우 희귀하고 악성도가 낮은 종양이다. 폐에 발생하는 상피모양혈관내피종은 세계적으로 약 50예가 보고되어 있다. 폐 상피모양혈관내피종은 여자에서 더 많이 발생하며 흔히 양측폐야에 다발성 결절들이 관찰된다. 3개월 가량의 우측 흉막통을 주소로 내원한 41세 남자가 굴곡기관지경생검에서 샘암종으로 보고되었고 당시 TNM병기는 IIIa였다. 추적관찰기간 중 다시 기관지경생검을 시행하였고 과오종으로 보고되었다. 수술 후 조직병리검사에서 폐 상피모양혈관내피종으로 최종 진단되었다.

The prevalence of pulmonary pargonimiasis in Korea has been steadily decreasing due to develop of the public health, and there have been few clinical cases of paragonimiasis infections, especially in pneumothorax. A 22-year-old man referred to emergency department for dyspnea and chest pain. The right lung was totally collapsed on a chest X-ray. We emergently performed a closed thoracostomy with a 28-Fr chest tube. However, the air leak from the chest tube persisted for three days after the closed thoracostomy. A chest computed tomography showed multiple subpleural consolidative nodular lesions and mixed ground-glass attenuation nodules. We potentially suspected a secondary pneumothorax resulting from pulmonary paragonimiasis infection because the patient was a Chinese man who was working at a Korean restaurant. We decided to perform a medical treatment instead of pulmonary wedge resections. The air leak was discontinued three days after the prescription of praziquantel. The patient was discharged nine days after the admission. We suggest that anti-parasitic drugs are very effective in the secondary pneumothorax resulting from paragonimiasis.

Lymphomatoid granulomatosis (LYG) is an angiocentric and angiodestructive neoplastic proliferation of B and T lymphocytes commonly involving the lungs. Epstein-Barr virus is commonly detected in lesional cells. We report a case of a 54-year-old female with underlying monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance who presented with a 4 week history of dyspnea and cough. Computed tomography scan of the chest showed multiple lung nodules as well as endobronchial narrowing causing atelectasis at the left upper lobe. Bronchoscopic findings revealed obstruction at the lingula segment due to endobronchial mass as a rare presentation. Bronchoscopic biopsy was diagnosed with LYG grade 1. After treatment, the endobronchial mass and lung lesions were completely resolved. However, the patient eventually evolved to malignant lymphoma after 1 year.

We performed thoracoscopic resection for diagnosis in 41 year-old-female presenting with multiple pulmonary nodules in both lung fields, which was detected incidentally on routine chest x-ray and followed by additional exmaminations including chest CT scan and percutaneous needle aspiration biopsy under the presumptive diagnosis of metastatic cancer. During thoracoscopy, the result of the frozen section analysis of multiple masses revealed strong evidence of leiomyoma. In her past medical history, she had undergone myomectomy, and hysterectomy, 7 year ago and 10 year ago, respectively. Based on permanent, special staining of specimen, estrogen receptor assay and review of past specimen of uterine myoma the final diagnosis was benign metastasizing leiomyomata from uterine myoma, the report was very uncommon in Korean and English literatures. The patient has been followed up for 2 year without special therapy, such as hormonal therapy.

When the chest roentgenogram reveals the presence of multiple pulmonary nodules, the basic investigation includes a history, physical examination, routine hematologic and urine studies, and sputum specimens to search the etiology. We have experienced a case of endometrial sarcoma with metastasis to the lung.

We describe the cytologic features of metastatic ameloblastoma which presented as multiple bilateral lung nodules. The patient was a 22-year-old male who had recurrent ameloblastoma of the mandible 7 years after the diagnosis of primary lesion. Fine needle aspiration of one of the pulmonary nodules revealed patchy arrangement of cell clusters with outer palisading columnar cells and inner irregular loose polygonal cells. Most of tumor cells had plenty cytoplasm and ovoid nuclei which lacked either pleomorphism or hyperchromatism. The cytologic findings corresponded with histologic features of the primary site which was also benign looking ameloblastoma.

양성 전이성 평활근종은 조직학적으로는 양성이나 임상적으로 폐나 다른 장기로 원격전이를 하는 매우 드문 질환이다. 저자들은 10년 전 자궁평활근종 절제술을 시행한 환자의 폐에서 발견된 다발성 결절 일부를 흉강경 수술하에 절제하여 조직학적 및 면역염색검사로 양성 전이성 평활근종임을 진단할 수 있었다. 환자는 수술 후 종양의 크기 변화 및 특이 증상이 없으며 특별한 치료 없이 외래 추적관찰 중이다.

폐장의 초자화 육아종은 보통 양측성 다발성 폐결절의 형태를 보이며 특징적인 조직소견으로 유리질의 층상구조를 보이는 드문 질환이다. 특징적인 영상소견이나 임상양상을 보이지는 않고 수술적 절제나 생검을 통한 조직학적 소견으로 진단되는 경우가 대부분이다. 저자들은 우연히 발견된 우측 폐하엽에 종괴에 대하여 흉강경하 폐채기절제술을 시행하였고 조직학적 진단상 폐 초자화 육아종으로 진단된 2예를 치험하였기에 이에 대하여 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고한다.
