  • Thymoma is a common anterior mediastinal mass, although thymomas have occasionally been found in the neck, pulmonary hillus, or posterior mediastinum. But a thymoma within the middle mediastinum has rarely been reported. We report a thymoma arising in the middle mediastinum with a review of the literature.

  • We describe herein an extremely rare case of a recurrent primary pulmonary malignant fibrous histiocytoma 3 months after operation that occurred in a 55-year-old man who was treated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy successfully. Until now, 36 months later, the patient has shown no evidence of tumor recurrence. The clinical, radiographic, and pathologic features are reported here together with a brief review of the literature.

  • 폐 유상피 혈관내피종은 조직학적으로는 혈관내피에서 발생하는 양성종양이나 임상적으로는 전이와 재발을 보이는 매우 드문 악성종양 중의 하나이다. 무증상의 좌하엽 폐암으로 진단받은 29세의 남자에서 좌하엽 폐절제술, 좌상엽 페 쐐기 절제술, 횡격막 부분절제술을 시행하여 좌하엽 폐의 병변에서는 유상피 혈관내피종으로 확진되었으나 좌상엽 폐와 횡격막의 병변은 유상피 혈관내피종이 자연 관해되어 석회화만 남은 것으로 진단되었다. 술 후 10개월과 19개월 두 차례에 걸쳐 폐 유상피 혈관내피종으로부터 피하 전이를 일으킨 환자를 수술 치험하였기에 보고한다.

  • 폐의 암육종은 상피조직과 간염조직이 혼재하는 악성종양으로 전체 폐종양의 0.3%에 불과한 매우 희귀한 종양이며 흡연과 깊은 관계가 있는 질환이다. 폐에서의 위치에 따라 비교적 예후가 양호한 endobronchial type과 빠른 원격전이로 예후가 불량한 solid parenchymal type으로 분류된다. 비침습적 진단방법으론 발견이 어렵고 생검에 의해 종종 발견된다. 폐문과 종격동으로 전이를 잘하며 광범위 절제가 치료의 기본이고 항암제 요법을 병용하기도 한다. 암육종의 예후는 매우 불랑하여 술후 평균생존 기간은 9개월 정도이고 2년까지 생존율은 10% 미만인것으로 보고 된다.

  • 점액종은 비교적 흔한 양성 종양이나, 주로 심장, 피부, 연조직 및 뼈 등에서 호발하며 폐에서 발생하는 경우는 극히 드물다. 본 교실에서는 63세 남자에서 흉부 전산화 단층 촬영 및 경피적 폐 생검술을 통해 점액종을 진단하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

  • 효모균증은 비둘기의 배설물에 의해 오염된 먼지나 토양에 주로 존재하는 cryptococcus neoformans에 의한 아급성 또는 만성 감염이다. 폐의 효모균증은 건강한 사람에게는 잘 발생하지 않으며 면역이 저하된 환자 특히 후천성 면역결핍증 환자에게서 호발 한다. 일반적으로 증상이 없이 단순 흉부 X-선 검사에서 고립성 또는 다발성 폐 결절이 관찰되며, 이런 경우에는 대부분 절제된 조직의 병리학적 소견으로 진단된다. 본 증례는 갑상선 암으로 수술 받은 32세 여자환자에서 추적관찰 중에 발견된 좌하엽폐의 종괴가 전이성 폐암으로 추정되어 좌하엽폐 절제술을 시행한 후 폐 효모균증으로 확인되었다.

  • Unilateral absence of a pulmonary artery (UAPA) is a rare congenital anomaly that may present with various symptoms, depending on the nature and severity of other cardiovascular anomalies. Furthermore, contralateral lung surgery in patients with UAPA is extremely rare, and clinical experience is limited. This report describes a case of surgical treatment of contralateral primary lung cancer in a patient with isolated UAPA. A 56-year-old man was diagnosed with primary lung cancer accompanied by isolated UAPA on the contralateral side. He underwent meticulous cardiorespiratory function tests preoperatively. We performed a right lower lobectomy. Although in the immediate postoperative period, the patient suffered from a mild decline in his respiratory function, he recovered uneventfully. The present case shows that preoperative awareness of UAPA and meticulous perioperative management enable contralateral lung surgery to be performed safely.

  • 폐에서 다형태 암종은 전체 폐암의 $0.1{\sim}0.4%$를 차지하는 매우 드문 악성 종양으로 나쁜 임상경과와 좋지 않은 예후로 알려져 있다. 저자들은 폐에 발생한 다형태 암종 치료 후 발생한 늑골전이에서 외과적 치료를 통해 12년의 무병 장기 생존을 얻었기에 보고하는 바이다.

  • Pulmonary giant cell carcinoma is one of the most highly malignant neoplasms of the lung. Although mixed malignant glandular or squamous components may be associated with a giant cell carcinoma, it is a distinct clinical and morphologic entity. We reviewed cytologic presentations of 6 cases of pulmonary giant ceil carcinoma. Cytologically, the single most characteristic feature of giant cell carcinoma was an extremely large, bizarre cancer cell engulfing numerous leukocytes. The nuclei of these cells showed occasional prominent nucleoli, and the cytoplasm was abundant. Giant cells were also seen in other types of pulmonary carcinoma, but the slant cells of this neoplasm could be differentiated from those encountered in undifferentiated large cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma by the abundant cytoplasm, the presence of markedly enlarged nuclei, prominent nucleoli, and a significant degree of phagocytosis. In conclusion, precise diagnosis and classification of lung cancer is imperative because of proved correlation between cell type and prognosis.

  • Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in Korea. Although the smoking rate has decreased over time, the prevalence of lung cancer still remains high. In this study, we reviewed recent trends on the incidence, epidemiology, screening, diagnosis, and treatment of lung cancer in Korea by analyzing data from the national lung cancer registry and recently-published studies. Although approximately 40% of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were diagnosed as stage IV, the 5-year relative survival rate improved from 11.3% (1993-1995) to 30.2% (2013-2017), possibly due to advances in methods of diagnosis and therapy. In addition, the 2019 implementation of the national lung cancer screening program with low-dose computed tomography may have also contributed to these improvements in survival rates. Recently, molecular diagnosis has become more widely used in the identification of genetic mutations in tissue specimens. Target therapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors have also been successfully used, particularly in cases of advanced NSCLC. In the future, further research on the optimal management of lung cancer remains necessary.
