Leiomyoma is extremely rare benign tumor of the trachea. A case of leiomyoma of the trachea is described in a 36-year-old man. The patient had a brief history of asthma-like symptoms. Computed tomography of the chest revealed the ovoid lower trachea mass, which was occupying about 80% of the tracheal lumen. At fiberoptic bronchoscopy highly vascularized round mass was seen on the membranous portion of the lower trachea. The tumor was excised by segmental sleeve resection and end-to-end anastomosis of the trachea was performed. Postoperative course was uneventful and bronchoscopic findings showed clear healing of the anastomotic site.

Leiomyoma of the trachea is a rare benign tumor. A case of leiomyoma of the thoracic trachea is described in a 46-year-old woman. The patient complained of productive cough, dyspnea and blood-tinged sputum since July 1993. Plain chest radiographs were not helpful, but computed tomography of the chest showed an intraluminal tracheal mass just above the carina. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy revealed a broad based, nodular mass rising from the posterior tracheal wall, just above the carina. The tumor was excised by sleeve resection and end-to-end anastomosis of the trachea was performed. The patient`s postoperative course was uneventful. She was discharged on the 20th postoperative day.

Primary benign tracheal tumors are exceedingly rare and leiomyoma has the least frequency among them. It is important to recognize early without misdiagnosis such as asthma because it is curable. A 41 year-old female was admitted for dyspnea and choking since November 1991. Under the impression of asthma, she received medication. Symptom was not improved and thus chest CT scan was performed. There was endotracheal tumor mass which was located just above the carina and arose from the right lateral tracheal wall with broad base. We successfully resected the tumor mass including trachea and the defected area of trachea was reconstructed with autologous graft using pericrdium & rib cartilage. During the follow up period, no complication was developed.

저자들은 최근 기관지 천식의 진단하에 치료를 받았으나 호전이 없던 40세 여자 환자에서 흉부 전산화 단층촬영 및 굴곡성 기관지경 검사로 기관내의 종양을 확인하고 수술적 제거로 확진, 완치된 기관에 발생한 평활근종 1예를 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Leiomyoma of the trachea is extremely rare but important to recognize early because they are curable. A case of leiomyoma of the trachea is described in 340-year-Old woman. She was admitted for dyspnea, coughing and sputum for 3 years. Under the impression of asthma she was treated but not improved. Chest CT showed an intraluminal tracheal mass just above the carina. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy revealed a round intraluminal mass on the membranous portion of trachea 4cm above the carina. The tumor was excised by wedge resection and end-to-end anastomosis of the trachea was performed. The pathologic examination revealed leiomyoma of the trachea. We report a case of leiomyoma of the trachea which was successfully resected.

기관 내 평활근종은 중간엽 세포 유래의 변형된 세포로 구성되어 있다. 초기 흉부 X선 사진에서 간과된 기관 내 종양의 평가에 있어서 디지털 단층촬영술의 유용성을 보여준 기관 내 평활근종의 증례를 보고하고자 한다.

양성원인에 의한 기관지협착 환자에서 기관지 성형술은 협착부위 이하의 폐기능을 유지해 줌으로써 가장 우수한 수술방법으로 알려져 있다. 본 가톨릭 대학교 의과대학 흉부외과학교실에선 2명의 환자에서 (기관 평활근종, 결핵성 기관지 협착) 자가 늑연골과 심낭막을 이용하여 기관 및 기관지 성형술을 시행하였다. 수술후 경과는 양호 하였으며 술후 6개월에 실시한 기관지 내시경 검사상 기관 및 기관지 성형부위의 특별한 이상은 없었다.

기관지내 평활근종은 매우 드물며, 이 종양은 하부호흡기계 양성 종양의 2%에서 발생된다. 평활근종은 청장년 나이에 주로 생기며, 기관지와 폐실질에는 평균연령35세에, 기관에는 40.6세에 생긴다. 증상은 종양의 위치, 크기 그리고 병변 하부 폐의 상태변화에 따라 변한다. 37세의 여자환자가 기침을 주소로 입원하여, 기관지 내시경검사에서 기관분기부에 타원형의 궤양이없고, 매끈한, 연갈색을 띄고 있는 종양에 의해서 우측주기관지가 완전히 폐쇄되고 종괴의 일부가 좌주기관지로 넘어가는 것을 확인하였고, 조직 생검검사을 실시하여 방추형 세포로 구성된 양성 종양으로 판단 되었다. 우측폐의 만성감염과 공기 주입시 폐팽창이 되지 않아서 전폐적출술을 시행하였다. 수술 후의 조직검사을 통해 평활근종으로 진단되었다. 수술 후 경과는 양호 하였다.
