폐 전이를 동반한 원발성 흉벽 평활근육종은 매우 드물다. 43세 남자 환자가 특별한 증상없이 좌측 후 하흉벽에 서서히 커지는 단단한 종괴를 주소로 내원하였다. 흥부 컴퓨터 단층촬영 소견 상 우측 폐에 다발성전이를 동반한 좌측 후 하 흉벽의 종양이 관찰되었다. 좌측 후 하 흉벽 종양에 대해 시행한 세침 검사상 조직학적으로 횡문근육종 소견을 보였다. 좌측 후 하 흉벽 종양을 일괄 절제하고 우측 폐의 다발성 결절들을 절제하여 얻은 병리학적 소견상 다발성 우측 폐 전이를 동반한 좌측 후 하 흥벽의 원발성 평활근육종으로 진단되었고 항암 치료를 추가로 계획하였다.

흉벽에 발생하는 전이성 악성 종양은 드문 질환이며 주위 장기로부터 전이되는 경우가 대부분으로 유방, 폐, 흉막, 그리고 종격동 등으로부터 주로 전이되는 것으로 알려져 있다. 특히 흉부가 아닌 먼장기로부터 전이되는 경우는 더욱 드문 것으로 알려져 있고 원발성 악성 종양이 없이 흉벽 전이에 의해 발현되는 예는 몇몇의 보고만이 있을 뿐이다. 환자는 51세 남자로 전흉벽 좌상부에 촉지되는 종괴로 절제 수술을 시행 후 전이성 간세포암종으로 진단 받았고 당시 검사상 간에 원발성 간세포암종의 증거는 없는 상태였다. 이에 원발성 종양의 증거 없이 간세포암이 흉벽으로 전이된 예를 치험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.

The desmoid tumor has been reported as the most common histologic subtype of soft tissue sarcoma occuring in chest wall and it known to be highly recurrent. The treatment of choice is a radical wide resection including a safe margin of uninvolved structures around the grossly visible tumor. We report a case of chest wall reconstruction using Marlex sandwich and latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flap after wide resection of desmoid tumor on the chest wall.

Primary hemangiopericytoma of chest wall is very rate and only a few cases have ever been reported. The tumor aries from the capillary pericyte of Zimmerman. It is a highly vascular slow growing tumor which can be calssified as both malignant and benign varieties. We report a case of a 66 year-old man in whom recurrent hemangiopericytoma was treated by complete surgical excision. In October 1993 he had received surgical excision of hemangiopericytoma on posterior chest wall. For more than 6 years after the operation he was in good condition until a recurrent mass was found on the chest X-ray. The patient was discharged 9 days after the operation and is receiving radiotherapy.

Primary neoplasms of the ribs and sternum are rare. Most primary bony chest wall neoplasms are malignant, and chondrosarcoma is the most common malignancy in this location The etiology of chondrosarcoma is unknown. Definitive diagnosis of chondrosarcoma can only be made pathologically. The natural history of chest wall chondrosarcoma is one of slow growth and local recurrence. Most tumors of the sternum require wide resection and reconstruction procedures, with potentially serious postoperative problems. Advances in chest wall reconstruction primarily through refinement in muscle transposition and clarification of the functional anatomy and blood supply of trunk muscles, has resulted in a more aggressive resection of the these tumors . Recently we experienced a case with chondrosarcoma of the sternum. A 56 year-old man was admitted to our hospital due to painless, slowly enlarging mass at the left sternoclavicular junctional area. The chest radiograph strongly suggested an underlying cartilaginous neoplasm owing to the appearance of typical flocculent and curvilinear calcifications within the lesion. On CT of the chest, the tumor exhibited a scalloped or lobulated contour, hypodensity of the nonmineralized component in comparison to adjacent muscle, and characteristic stippled cartilaginous matrix mineralization, also typical for cartilaginous neoplasm. The patient underwent wide resection of the chest wall tumor include with a 2-3cm margin of normal tissue on all sides and the thoracic skeletal defect was reconstructed with polytetrafluoroethylene [Gore-Tex] soft-tissue patch. Soft tissue reconstructive procedure was done with the pectoralis major muscle transposition. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course and discharged without adjuvant treatment such as radiation and chemotherapy.

Chondrosarcoma of the chest wall is a rare primary neoplasm found to occur in elderly men. Patients present with an enlarging, painful, anterior chest wall mass arising from either the vicinity of the costochondral junction or the sternum. Treatment includes wide resection with appropriate chest wall reconstruction. We report an unusual presentation of this uncommon tumor occurring as a huge chest wall mass in a young teenage girl.

From May 1965 to December 1990, 78 patients with chest wall tumors were operated on. The mean age of the patients was 31.5 years with 50 male and 28 female patients. Forty-nine cases[62.8%] were developed at bony or cartilaginous wall and 29 cases[37.2%] at soft tissue of chest wall. Thirty-two of them[41.0%] were malignant, either primary or metastatic, and 46 tumors[59.0%] were histologically benign. For 55 patients who were operated on since 1982, 6 surgical biopsies. 39 tumor excisions, and 11 wide excisions with chest wall reconstruction were done. Preoperative factors favoring diagnosis of malignant neoplasm were; 1] old-aged male patient, 2] bone or cartilaginous tumors, 3] involvement of multiple ribs, 4] complaint of pain, 5] large size on palpation[larger than 4cm]. With proper diagnosis and management plan, we think, operations of chest wall tumors can give good results.

악성신경초종은 Schwan cell 또는 신경초 세포(nerve sheath cell)에서 발생하는 아주 드문 종양으로 빈번히 신경섬유종증(Von Rechlinghausen's disease)과 연관되어 있다. 환자는 64세 남자로 우측 가슴에 내원 2개월전부터 있던 무통성 종물을 주소로 내원하였으며 신경섬유종 증과의 동반은 없었다 전산화 단층촬영상 종물의 크기는 6 $\times$ 6 cm였으며, 11번 늑골과 횡경막을 침범하였 고 우신을 앞쪽으로 밀고 있었다. 본 교실에서는 흉벽에 발생한 악성신경초종을 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고한다.

The incidence of chest wall tumor is rare than those of other portions of the body. The chest wall tumors need special attention about their diagnosis and management than other tumors. From March, 1985 to September, 1994, 33 patients with chest wall tumor underwent surgical treatment, and those were consisted of 28 benign tumors and 5 malignant tumors arising from soft tissue, rib and sternum.Benign tumors were included 11 lipoma, 4 cysticercosis, 2 chondroma and 1 each of fibroma, dermatofibroma, osteochondroma, fibrous dysplasia and hemangioma,and 6 other cases. Malignant chest wall tumors were included 2 metastatic carcinoma,1 each of giant cell tumor, chondrosarcoma and epithelioid sarcoma.Sex ratio of male to female was 1.5:1, and the range of age was 16 to 72 years,and the mean age was about 40 years. Clinical manifestations of chest wall tumor were palpable mass[55% , pain[21% ,tender mass[9% , growing mass[9% and asymptomatic[9% .The all cases were treated surgically, the results were as follows:Local excision 16 cases, wide resection 12 cases, wide resection with chemotherapy 3 cases, each one case of wide resection with radiotherapy and wide resection with chest wall reconstruction.

동면선종(hibernoma)은 갈색지방조직에서 발생한 양성종양이다. 겨울잠을 자는 동물의 갈색지방조직이 총선과 유사한 내분비기관으로 간주되어 동면선종으로 알려졌었고 이러한 갈색지방은 동면하지 않는 동물에서도 발견되며 사람에서도 태아와 신생아기에 주로 존재하다가 점 차 황색지방으로 대치되는데 그 기능은 확실하지 않다. 1914년 Gery에 의해 명명된 동면선종은 3∼19cm정도의 크기로 아직까지 악성전환은 보고되지 않았고 피막형성이 잘되어 전적출술로서 완치가 가능하지만 수술시 남겨진 조직에서 재발된 경우는 보고되어 있다. 종양의 호발부위는 견갑간부,목뒤쪽,종격동,후복벽 등이며 흉곽내 발생은 7례에 불과하다. 조직학적 소견은 과립상 호산구성 세포질을 가지면서 여러개의 공포를 가진 세포들이 혼재해 있는 것이 특징으로 되어있다. 저자들은 좌측 후하부 흉벽과 복벽에 걸쳐 있는 동면선종을 경험하여 보고 하는 바이다.
