폐 자궁내막증은 월경 시 주기적인 각혈을 동반하는 매우 드문 질환이다. 치료법으로는 호르몬요법인 내과적 방법과 외과적으로 절제하는 방법이 있다. 호르몬 요법은 가임기의 젊은 여성에게 불임을 유발한다는 제약점이 있으므로 대부분의 환자에서 수술 치료를 선택하게 된다. 흉강경을 이용한 절제는 젊은 여성에게 흉터를 최소화하고 통증과 회복기간을 줄일 수 있지만 정확히 병변의 위치를 찾아 자궁내막조직이 남아 재발하지 않도록 완전히 병변을 제거하기가 쉽지 않다. 본 증례에서는 월경 시 각혈을 동반한 17세 된 미혼여성에게 발견된 폐 자궁내막증을 흉강경을 이용하여 절제하였으며, 수술 후 8개월의 기간 동안 재발없이 관찰 중이다.

Background: The effort to detect lung cancer in ever-earlier stages leads to the identification of an increasing number of patients without preoperative histological diagnosis. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence and characteristics of benign lesions excised in the context of lung cancer surgery. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from 125 surgical procedures. We compared the preoperative clinical or cyto-histological diagnosis with the surgical-pathologic diagnosis in order to identify the percentage of benign lesions excised. Furthermore, other parameters were analyzed, such as age, sex, tumor size, the presence of calcification, and the type of surgery according to subgroup. Results: Of the 125 patients included in the study, 63 (50.4%) had a preoperative histological diagnosis of malignancy, corresponding to 56 cases (44.8%) of primary lung cancer and 7 cases (5.6%) of metastases. The 62 (49.6%) remaining cases without preoperative histological diagnosis were divided among 50 (40%) solitary pulmonary nodules and 12 (9.6%) pulmonary masses. According to the postoperative pathologic examination, we identified 12 (9.6%) benign lesions excised during lung cancer surgery. There were no statistically significant differences by subgroups with respect to age or sex. We found statistically significant evidence regarding the size and wedge resection as the surgical technique of choice for this type of benign lesion. Conclusion: Our study obtained results similar to those published by other groups regarding the resection of benign lesions in lung cancer surgery. This percentage could be a quality management index of indeterminate lung lesions.

Benign lung tumors compose a heterogeneous group of solid growths that present variations in clinical features, depending on whether the origin is within the bronchus on lung parenchyma or from visceral pleura. Benign tumors of the lung are relatively uncommon, and series are to be found in the literature and the classification of benign tumors of the lung continues to be controversial because of disagreement concerning the origin and prognosis of many common lesions. We adopt Liebows original classification but excluded bronchial adenoma which no longer considered as benign tumor and added pulmonary A-V fistula and congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation. We analyzed 61 cases of benign tumors which were composed of 16 original Korean cases and 45 cases which were reported on journal of Thoracic & Cardiovascular Surgery. The results were. [1] Incidence; Of 61 cases, chondromatous hamartoma was 2 cases [41 %], congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation 10 cases [16.4 %], pulmonary A-V fistula 5 cases [8.1 %], sclerosing hemangioma 4 cases [6.5 %], teratoma, plasma cell granuloma & mesothelioma were 3 cases [4.9%], Castlemans disease 2 cases [3.3%], and mucous gland adenoma, paraganglioma, and leiomyoma 1 case [1.6 %]. [2] Age & Sex distribution; Male 30 cases and female 31 cases. Mean age was 31.4 years old. [3] Main symptom; was coughing, 32.8%, and no symptom, 24.6%. [4] Sixty eight percentage of chest film showed mass density, and 4 cases showed calcification, 2 cases had lobulation. [5] Size of mass was large and multiple mass was 2 cases. Endobronchial tumors were 9 cases, 14.9 %. [6] Three cases of endobronchial tumor were preoperatively diagnosed by bronchoscopy and 2 cases of pulmonary A-V fistula were diagnosed by pulmonary arteriography. [7] Seven cases, 11.5%, had associating diseases such as bronchogenic cyst, thymic cyst, Schwannoma, situs inversus, bronchiectasis and bronchogenic carcinoma. [8] Minor resection such as excision 8i: wedge resection were 15 cases, 26.2 %, and 6 cases, 75.4 %, of lobectomy were performed including 5 cases of pneumonectomy 5 cases had. [9] Postoperative complications; One case, 1.6 %, expired due to respiratory insufficiency. Two cases had re-operation due to bleeding and hemoptysis.

Pulmonary resectlon has evolved as the treatment of choice in certain pulmonary tuberculosis cases. This study represents an analysis of 640 cases of pulmonary resections between March, 1953 and August, 1966 and 370 cases of 13 years follow-up results at the 36th Army Hospital. 1] The ages ranged from 20 to 45 years and all cases were males. 2] The extent of disease revealed 116 Far advanced, 472 Moderate advanced and 52 Minimal Cases. 3] The extent of resections were 373 lobectomies, 130 segmental resections, 58 pneumonectomies,25 multlple lobectomies, 25 lobectomies with thoracoplasties, 22 lobectomies with segmental resections, and 7 wedge resections. 4] The postoperative complications occurred in 71 cases[11.09 percent]. Of these complications,bronchopleural fistula occurred in 13 cases [2.03 percent]. 5] The early operative mortality within 24 hours was 2.0 percent and late mortality within 6 months was 1.4 percent, a total mortality from all causes of 3.4 percent: 15.5 percent following pneumonectomy, 2.1 percent following lobectomy, 1.5 percent following segmental resectlon. 6] All 370 patients were followed for periods ranging from 6 months to 5 years and 5 years to 13 years. Of these former group of 241 patients, 73.3 percent of the cases had returned to full active llfe and remained well, while 15.4 percent were still under treatment. Of these latter group of 129 patients, 76.0 percent of the cases were well and 4.7 percent were still under treatment. 7] In the follow-up results according to extent of disease, the cure rate was greatest in cases of minimal group and lowest in cases of far advanced group. 8] In the results by extent of resection, the cure rate was greatest in cases of lobectomy group. 9] Through the all follow-up periods, 11 patents [3.0 percent] were died. Of these, 3 were suicide and 8 were unknown causes.

폐동맥류는 매우 드문 질환으로 일반적으로 폐혈류량을 증가시키고 폐성 고혈압을 초래하는 선천성 심결손과 동반되어 발생되는 경우가 대부분이다. 폐동맥류의 예후는 매우 치명적 일 수 있는데, 그 이유는 동맥류의 파열에 대한 가능성과 대부분의 경우 심한 폐성 고혈압이 동반되어 있기 때문이다. 40세 여자 환자가 교통사고후 두통을 주소로 본원에 입원하였다. 내원 당시 이학적 검사상 좌흉골연을 따라 2번째와 3번째 늑간에서 연속성 심잡음이 청진되었고, 단순 흉부 X-선 사진상 좌측 폐문부의 석회화된 낭성 종괴가 우연히 발견되었다. 심도자검사상 좌-우 단락이 주폐동맥에서 관찰되었고, 폐동맥압이 증가되어 있었다. 그리고 폐동맥조영술상 주폐동맥에서 좌폐동맥 기시부로 연장되는 폐동맥류의 소견을 보였다. 저자들은 동맥관개존증을 동반한 주폐동맥류로 진단하고, 심폐우회하에 동맥류 절제, 동맥관 봉합 및 Dacron 이식편 치환술을 시행하였다. 술후 경과는 양호하였으며, 환자는 건강한 상태로 퇴원하였다.

The importance of bronchial occlusion which occurs in the natural course of tuberculosis as an inconstant but very fortunate event became obscured with the popularity of resection therapy for pulmonary tuberculosis and the resectional surgery and thoracoplasty are the standard method of surgical procedure in the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis. However in some cases of far advanced pulmonary tuberculosis, the need for another surgical methods arise when standard method is not indicated under the consideration of poor pulmonary function or operative and postoperative complications such as bronchial fistula. The ligation and division of bronchus draining the involved part of the lung is one of the applicable method among the another surgical procedures. The authors experienced one case of far advanced pulmonary tuberculosis who had a huge cavity in the right upper lobe and a small cavity in the superior segment accomanying with several nodular densities in the basal segment and contralateral left lung field, and treated with right upper lobectomy, ligation and division of the superior segmental bronchus and concomitant rib-resectional thoracoplasty in order to prevent postoperative bronchial fistula and to preserve maximal lung function. The postoperative course was smooth without complication regarding to bronchial ligation and division technique and the general condition has been excellent without symptoms. The postoperative sputum examination for AFB on smear and culture has been negative during the 11 month period of follow up, and X-ray of the chest including tomography demonstrated no evidence of residual cavity indicating succesful collapse of cavity.

배경: 여러 가지 고형암으로부터 전이된 폐암 환자에 있어서 수술적 절제는 중요한 치료 방법 중 하나다. 이를 토대로 본원에서 1996년부터 2005년까지 37명의 환자에서 시행한 전이성 폐암의 수술적치료에 대해 분석해 보고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 환자의 입원기록과 수술기록, 병리기록지 등을 통하여 나이, 성별, 무병생존기간, 수술 방법, 폐 전이 병소 개수, 림프절 전이 여부 등을 조사하였다. 생존곡선과 생존율간의 비교는 각각 Kaplan-Meier life table과 log-rank test를 이용하였다. 결과: 37명의 환자 중 34명에서 완전 절제가 가능하였다. 원발 종양은 암종이 25명, 육종이 10명, 다른 종류가 2명이었으며 폐 전이 개수는 1개가 25명, 2개 이상이 12명이었다. 완전 절제가 가능했던 환자 군에서 수술후 3년 생존율은 50.5%, 5년 생존율은 35.9%으로 나타났다. 원발 종양의 종류에 따라 생존율을 비교하였을 때 암종에서의 3년 생존율은 64.5%, 5년 생존율은 45.6%로 나타났으나 육종에서의 3년 생존율은 17.5%로 낮게 나타났다. 반면, 수술 방법, 폐 전이 개수, 림프절 전이 여부, 추가 항암치료 여부와 암종에서 무병생존 기간 등은 생존율에 유의하게 영향을 미치지 못했다. 결론: 전이성 폐암은 완전 절제가 가능할 경우 잘 선택된 일부 환자에서 수술에 따른 사망률이나 이환율은 낮으면서도 높은 장기 생존율을 기대할 수 있는 질환이다. 전이성 폐암의 수술 후 예후인자 등에 대한 차후 장기적인 추적관찰과 무작위 전향적 비교 연구 등이 더 필요할 것으로 보인다.

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of surgical resection in patients with radiographically noninvasive lung adenocarcinoma according to the surgical strategy. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted of 128 patients who underwent pulmonary resection for ground-glass opacity (GGO)-dominant nodules measuring ${\leq}2cm$ with a consolidation/tumor ratio ${\leq}0.25$ based on computed tomography between 2008 and 2015. The 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) rate and 5-year overall survival (OS) rate were analyzed. Results: Among the 128 patients, wedge resection, segmentectomy, and lobectomy were performed in 40 (31.2%), 22 (17.2%), and 66 patients (51.6%), respectively. No significant differences were found among the groups in the mean size of tumors (p=0.119), the rate of pure-GGO nodules (p=0.814), the consolidation/tumor ratio (p=0.695), or the rate of invasive adenocarcinoma (p=0.378). Centrally located tumors were more common in the lobectomy group (21.2%) than in the wedge resection (0%) or segmentectomy (0%) groups (p=0.001). There were no significant differences in the 5-year DFS rate (100%, 100%, 92.7%, respectively; p=0.76) or 5-year OS rate (100%, 100%, 100%; p=0.223) among the wedge resection, segmentectomy, and lobectomy groups. Conclusion: For radiographically noninvasive lung adenocarcinoma measuring ${\leq}2cm$ with a consolidation/tumor ratio ${\leq}0.25$, wedge resection and segmentectomy could be comparable surgical options to lobectomy.
