59세의 여자 환자가 반복되는 폐렴 및 흉수를 주소로 내원하였다. 흉부 전산화 단층촬영상 우폐하엽 기저분절에 기관지 확장을 동반한 폐허탈 및 염증성 침윤소견이 관찰되었으며, 기관지내의 종괴소견은 관찰되지 않았다. 굴곡성 기관지경 검사상 우하엽 기저분절 기관지 입구에 점액성의 백색 표면을 보이는 돌출성 종괴가 관찰되었고 관강은 좁아져 있었으며 감자 생김상 세기관지 폐포암으로 확진되었다. 환자는 우하엽 절제술을 시행받았으며 수술후 증상없는 상태로 12개월째 추적관찰중이다. 세기관지 유두종은 극히 드문 양성 폐종양으로 알려져 있고 국내에는 아직 보고된 바가 없어 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Broncholithiasis is defined as a condition in which calcified material is present within the bronchial lumen. It is a rare but troublesome disease that can cause life-threatening complications such as massive fatal hemoptysis. Therefore, pulmonary resection is frequently required to remove the broncholiths and irreversibly damaged parenchyma. We experienced 3 cases of broncholithiasis. In one case, a 36 year old female patient suffered from coughing, massive hemoptysis with lithoptysis caused by intrinsic obstructive broncholiths in the right middle and lower lobe. In the 2nd case, a 41 year old male patient complained of long-standing blood tinged sputum and frequent pneumonic symptoms for 10 months because of extrinsic broncholithiasis where the calcified peribronchial lymph node eroded into the bronchial lumen of the right lower lobe. The remaining case involved a 30 year old female patient who complained of intermittent blood-tinged sputum induced by intrabronchial broncholith in the orifice of the right middle lobe bronchus. Two patients underwent bilobectomy(right middle and lower lobe) for removal of the broncholiths, damaged bronchi and parenchyma. The other patient was treated with right middle lobectomy and stone removal by bronchotomy of bronchus intermedius. In all patients, the post-operative course was uneventful.

Ninety pigs under the age of 120-day-old requested at the diagnostic laboratory of animal diseases in Cheju National University were evaluated for the prevalence of tissue antigen and serum antibody to swine influenza virus (SIV). For histopathologic examination there was sampled at the consolidated area in cranioventral or dorsocaudal lobes of lungs. Lung tissues from all pigs were tested for the antigen of SIV type A by immunohistochemistry (IHC). Sera from 56 pigs were used for the antibody detection to SIV type A (subtype H1N1 and H3N2) by haemagglutinin inhibition test. Pneumonic lesions were observed in 72 cases (80%) of 90 pigs. Broncho-interstitial or interstitial pneumonia were more prevalent than suppurative or fibrinous bronchopneumonia. According to HI test, 46.4% of the tested sera showed seropositive. Positive sera were consisted with 5.3% for SIV H1N1, 28.6% for SIV H3N2, and 12.5% for both subtype to be tested, respectively. SIV antigens were detected in 51 cases(56.6%) of 90 pigs. Most SIV antigens were presented in the epithelium of the bronchi and bronchiole. Necrotizing bronchitis or bronchiolitis were observed in 28(31.1%) cases of all inspected pigs. These results suggested that SIV might be an important role to induce swine pneumonia in Jeju. Also IHC was very useful for the detection of SIV in the lung.

Benign pulmonary tumors are rare entities, and among them bronchial lipomas are the most uncommon. Up to date, about 80 cases have been reported in the English literature. But, the bronchial lipoma with extrabronchial growth causing middle lobe syndrome and pneumonia is extremely rare. Bronchial lipomas, mainly arising from normal fatty tissue of the proximal portion of the lobar or segmental bronchi, are histologically benign. But if diagnosis and treatments are delayed, they can produce extensive pulmonary parenchymal damage and irreversible brochiectasis distally. So whenever possible, the treatment of choice is resection by means of bronchoscopy via early diagnosis. But if endoscopic removal is not possible because the distal end of the tumor could not be visualized by fiberoptic bronchoscopy or if the nature of the tumor is unclear, surgery is necessary, with lobectomy or pneumonectomy being required in most cases due to the extensively damaged pulmonary parenchyma. We present a case of bronchial lipoma with extrabronchial growth, with a review of the literature and report of an unusual case.

An 18-year-old woman was evaluated for a chronic productive cough and dyspnea. She was subsequently diagnosed with mediastinal non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). A covered self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) was implanted to relieve narrowing in for both main bronchi. The NHL went into complete remission after six chemotherapy cycles, but atelectasis developed in the left lower lobe 18 months after SEMS insertion. The left main bronchus was completely occluded by granulation tissue. However, the right main bronchus and intermedius bronchus were patent. Granulation tissue was observed adjacent to the SEMS. The granulation tissue and the SEMS were excised, and a silicone stent was successfully implanted using a rigid bronchoscope. SEMS is advantageous owing to its easy implantation, but there are considerable potential complications such as severe reactive granulation, stent rupture, and ventilation failure in serious cases. Therefore, SEMS should be avoided whenever possible in patients with benign airway disease. This case highlights that SEMS implantation should be avoided even in malignant airway obstruction cases if the underlying malignancy is curable.

기관기관지골형성증(Tracheobronchopathia Osteoplastica, TPO)는 기관 및 기관지의 점막하부에서 연골성 혹은 골성 돌출 병변의 형태를 나타내는 결절이 기관 후벽의 막성부위를 제외한 기관지 전부위에서 발생 되는 특징을 가진 질환으로 매우 드물게 보고되고 있다. 그 원인은 아직 밝혀지지 않았으나 만성 기관지 염증성 자극과 결체조직의 화생화 및 기관지 연골의 외연골증과 외골증에 의한다고 하는 등의 가설이 있다. 기관지내시경상 매우 특징적인 염주 혹은 자갈모양의 다발성 결절을 관찰할 수 있으며 대증적인 치료외에 특별한 치료가 없다. 기관지폐쇄가 있을 경우 내시경적 제거를 시도 해 볼 수 있으나 기도 폐쇄가 심할수록 예후가 좋지않다. 저자등은 늑막삼출을 동반한 44세된 남자환자에서 기관지내시경과 전산화 단층촬영과 기관지 내시경 조직검사로 확진된 기관기관지골형성증 1예를 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

32세 남자 환자가 내원 15일 전부터 지속되는 피가 섞인 가래를 주소로 전원되었다. 환자는 내원 전부터 반복되는 폐렴으로 개인병원에서 치료를 받았다. 흉부 X-선상 우폐 중엽에 폐허탈이 관찰되었다. 흉부 전산화 단층 촬영상 우폐 중엽 기관지에 결석이 관찰되었으며 우폐 중엽에 폐허탈이 동반되어 있었다. 기관지 내시경을 이용하여 기관지 결석을 제거하려 하였으나 제거할 수 없었다. 이에 수술 치료로 기관지결석을 제거하고 우폐 중엽절제술을 시행하였다. 조직병리 검사상 기관지결석의 원인은 방선균증으로 진단되었다. 방선균에 의한 기관지 결석은 매우 드문 것으로 알려져 있다. 이에 저자들은 반복적인 폐쇄성 폐렴은 동반한 방선균에 의한 기관지결석에 대한 외과적인 치료를 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.

Purpose: Foreign body aspiration in children is emergent and can cause serious complications. This study aims to show the clinical characteristics of foreign body aspiration and to analyze the clinical cases of delayed diagnosis to predict and prevent complications. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 63 children (48 in Inha University Hospital and 15 in Gachon University Gil Medical Center) who were diagnosed with foreign body aspiration through bronchoscopy from 1996 to 2017 in Incheon City, and analyzed clinical characteristics. Patients were divided into 3 groups: those were diagnosed within 24 hours, delayed after 24 hours, or delayed more than 7 days according to time elapse from the time of foreign body aspiration, and clinical characteristics of each group were compared. Results: Aspiration occurred in 58.7% at 1 year and 15.9% at 2 years. Cough (65.1%) and coarse breathing sound (41.3%) were most common, and radiologic findings were commonly presented as emphysema on the affected side (41.3%). Nuts were most common (42.9%), and there was no difference in the frequency between the right and left main bronchi. The documented history of foreign body aspiration was more frequently found in the early diagnosed group; however, sputum, fever, and complications were more frequent in the delayed diagnosed group. Conclusion: If a patient with respiratory disease has persistent fever or sputum, foreign body aspiration should be suspected.
