괴사성 기관지 국균증은 대부분 면역 기능이 저하된 환자에서 발생하며 국균이 기관지 상피를 침범하여 기관지 내에 종괴나 협착을 유발하는 질환이다. 당뇨병이 있는 78세 남자가 호흡곤란과 기침을 주소로 내원하여 시행한 단순 흉부 X-선 촬영과 흉부 전산화 단층 촬영 결과 좌상엽 기관지를 완전히 막고 있는 종괴와 좌상엽의 허탈이 발견되었고, 기관지 내시경을 통한 생검 결과 만성 염증 소견을 보였다. 확진과 치료를 위해 시험적 개흉술을 통해 좌상엽 소매 절제술을 시행하였고 치종 조직검사 상 괴사성 기관지 국균증으로 진단되었다. 저자들은 당뇨병이 있는 고령의 환자에서 발생한 괴사성 기관지 국균증 1예를 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Hamartoma has been considered rare disease as a congenital malformation of a tumorous lesion since the original description by Albrecht in 1904. Pulmonary hamartoma is interesting to chest surgeon because of good result by surgical procedures and of slightly high incidence then another organs. It is characterized as lesion of very slow growing mass as peak incidence of age of 50 years age group and as sex ratio is 2:1. Especially endobronchial hamartoma is rarer than peripheral type. We had experienced a case of endobronchial hamartoma who has 53 years old male patient at right main bronchus and then treated by excision of tumor mass through right bronchotomy and preserving right lung except any lobectomy and pneumonectomy.

Endobronchial hamartoma is a extremely rare lesion. The patient was 47 years old female and complained of cough and dyspnea for several years. On bronchoscopy, a finger tip size mass, nearly occluding the left main bronchus and located 4cm from the carina, was found. Bronchoscopic biopsy showed the chronic inflammatory findings.We performed bronchotomy and removed the mass through left thoracotomy. The endobronchial tumor was confirmed hamartoma histopathologically.

The endobronchial hamartoma is a relatively rare benign tumor of the lung. The symptoms of the endobronchial hamartoma are produced by obstruction of the bronchus and its sequelae. This patient was 51 year old male and complained dypnea, cough and purulent sputum for 2 years. On bronchoscopic view, a yellowish pedunculated mass nearly total occluding right main bronchial lumen was found. Endoscopic biopsy revealed squamous cell metaplasia of the bronchial mucosa. The operation was done with the right pneumonectomy. The pathologic result of the operative specimen was endobronchial hamartoma arisen from the right upper lobe bronchus.

Lymphomatoid granulomatosis (LYG) is an angiocentric and angiodestructive neoplastic proliferation of B and T lymphocytes commonly involving the lungs. Epstein-Barr virus is commonly detected in lesional cells. We report a case of a 54-year-old female with underlying monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance who presented with a 4 week history of dyspnea and cough. Computed tomography scan of the chest showed multiple lung nodules as well as endobronchial narrowing causing atelectasis at the left upper lobe. Bronchoscopic findings revealed obstruction at the lingula segment due to endobronchial mass as a rare presentation. Bronchoscopic biopsy was diagnosed with LYG grade 1. After treatment, the endobronchial mass and lung lesions were completely resolved. However, the patient eventually evolved to malignant lymphoma after 1 year.

Actinomycosis is a chronic infectious disease, which is produced by Gram-positive anaerobic organisms, actinomycetes, normally inhabit in the mouth, bowel and female genital tract. Primary endobronchial actinomycosis is relatively rare infection and can be misdiagnosed as endobronchial tuberculosis or malignancies. We experienced a case of primary endobronchial actinomycosis in a 49-year-old man presented with fifteen-days history of hemoptysis and cough. He had a past history of extraction of teeth because of dental caries six months ago. Chest X-ray showed irregular consolidation ad bronchoscopic findings revealed nearly obstruction by tumor mass with active bleeding in RLL. Pathologic finding of the bronchial mass showed sulfur granule with granulation tissue formation. Intravenous administration of penicillin G followed by oral ampicillin therapy for 6 months resulted in marked improvement in symptoms and chest X-ray findings. We report this case with review of literature.

The tumorous type of endobronchial tuberculosis was reponed to be 5 to 10% in the bronchoscopic examination. It was protruding mass that tuberculosis mediastinal lymph nooe ruprured into the bronchial lumen. Generally histologic examination has been performed for purpose of differentiation, because the tuberculosis type of endobronchial tuberculosis simulate lung cancer in bronchoscopic finding. A case considering operation similar to bronchial adenoma in the bronchoscopic finding was confirmed to endobronchial tuberculosis by JX5itive AFB and disapperance of mass after antituberculosis medication. Case history was presented and reviewed.

폐장은 신장세포암의 흔한 전이 장기 중 하나이지만 기관지내 전이는 매우 드물다. 저자들은 신장세포암이 기관지내로 전이한 환자를 수술하였기에 보고한다. 8년전 신장세포암으로 좌측 신장 적출술을 받은 63세 남자가 반복적인 기침을 주소로 내원하였다. 흉부 컴퓨터 단층촬영과 기관지 내시경 검사에서 좌하엽 기관지로부터 이차 기관 분기부까지 자라는 폴립모양의 기관지내 종양이 발견되었고 생검 결과는 만성 염증 소견과 함께 괴사성 조직으로 진단되었다. 수술 중 종괴의 냉동 절편 조직검사에서 전이성 신장세포암으로 확인되었고 상부의 좌하엽 기관지의 점막 침윤이 없어서 좌하엽 절제술과 림프절 청소술을 시행하였다. 치종 병리학적 검사에서도 전이성 신장세포암으로 확진되었고 림프절 전이는 없었다. 환자는 수술 후 10일째 특별한 합병증이 없이 퇴원하였다.

염증성 근섬유아세포종은 염증성 가성 종양으로 널리 알려져 있으며, 폐 실질 내의 종괴로 발견되는 경우가 많다. 기관지 내 염증성 근섬유아세포종은 매우 드문 종양으로 극히 적은 보고만이 있을 뿐이다. 5개월 전부터의 기침 증상으로, 13세 여자 환자가 입원하였다. 단순 흉부 X-선 및 흉부단층촬영에서 우하엽 기관지를 막아 폐렴을 일으킨 기관지 내 종괴가 발견되었다. 기관지경 검사에서 젤리 모양의 종괴가 우하엽 기관지를 거의 막고 있는 것이 관찰되었고 조직 검사상 연골성 과오종이 의심되었다. 우하엽 절제술을 시행하였고 최종 병리 결과는 염증성 근섬유아세포종으로 확진되었다. 환자는 수술 후 합병증 없이 퇴원하여 외래에서 추적관찰 중이다.

A chest x-ray of 68 year old male showed pneumonic consolidation of right lower lung field with blunting of right cardiac border. Computerized tomography of chest revealed infiltrative mass with V-shaped calcification just below right main bronchus. This finding has to be made into differential diagnosis of numerous pulmonary diseases including, mycobacterial disease, neoplasm, lymphadenopathies, and foreign bodies. Initial bronchoscopic findings suggest endobronchial mass lesion on right intermediate bronchus but endobronchial biopsy fail to prove malignant cell or underlying illness. But repeated endobronchial biopsy shows metallic material in the right Intermediate bronchus and we remove it with alligator jaws forcep under bronchoscopy. He was well after discharge.
