이하선에 생기는 전이성 다형태 선종은 매우 드문 질환으로서 조직학적으로는 양성이나 임상적으로는 전이를 일으키는 논쟁의 여지가 많은 병변이다. 저자들은 이하선의 다형성 선종으로 절제술을 경험한 57세 남자에게서, 4년 후에 흉막과 우측 폐, 종격동, 심낭, 늑간근의 다발성 전이를 진단하여 전이암 절제술을 경험하였기에 보고하고자 한다.

저자등은 36세 남자환자에서 재발성 폐 근상피종을 경험하여 보고하는 바이다. 이 종양은 Dardick에 의한 근상피종의 형태학적 분류에 근거하여 볼때, 대ㆍ소 타액선에서 발견된 근상피종들에서 기술된 조직학적 특성과 동일한 종양이었다. 환자는 흉벽 일부를 포함한 완전 절제 수술을 시행 받았다. 종양은 비교적 잘 싸여 있었고, 광학 현미경상 주로 형질세포양 세포와 투명세포로 구성되어 있었고, 고형 성장 양식을 보이고 있었다. 면역세포화학적, 전자현미경적, 그리고 유동 세포 분석법에 의한 검사를 실시하였고, 폐 근상피종에 합당한 소견을 확인할 수 있었다.

We performed thoracoscopic resection for diagnosis in 41 year-old-female presenting with multiple pulmonary nodules in both lung fields, which was detected incidentally on routine chest x-ray and followed by additional exmaminations including chest CT scan and percutaneous needle aspiration biopsy under the presumptive diagnosis of metastatic cancer. During thoracoscopy, the result of the frozen section analysis of multiple masses revealed strong evidence of leiomyoma. In her past medical history, she had undergone myomectomy, and hysterectomy, 7 year ago and 10 year ago, respectively. Based on permanent, special staining of specimen, estrogen receptor assay and review of past specimen of uterine myoma the final diagnosis was benign metastasizing leiomyomata from uterine myoma, the report was very uncommon in Korean and English literatures. The patient has been followed up for 2 year without special therapy, such as hormonal therapy.

폐에 발생하는 점막 표피양 종양은 매우 드물며, 대부분 주로 주기관지에서 발생한다. 증상은 주로 기관 자극이나 폐쇄에 의해 발생된다. 점막 표피양 종양이 원격전이 되는 경우는 흔하지 않다. 치료는 수술적 제거가 원칙이며 예후는 종양의 조직학적 소견과 밀접한 관계가 있다. 저자의 경우 우중엽에 발생한 점막 표피양 종양을 우중엽절제술로 치험하여 양호한 결과를 보였기에 이에 보고하는 바이다.

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.

Glandular papilloma of the lung is one of three histologic types of solitary endobronchial papillomas. It is known as an uncommon benign neoplasm. No malignant glandular papillomas have been reported. Herein, the first case of granular papilloma with malignant transformation is reported. A 74-year-old man with huge right lung mass extended upper and lower lobe was admitted to the hospital complaining of progressive cough and dyspnea. An open lung biopsy was performed. Microscopically, the tumor showed papillary growth pattern with thick fibrovascular cores. The stroma of the fibrovascular cores shown the infiltration of lymphoplasmacytic cells and proliferation of capillaries. The epithelial cells surrounding the papillary fronds were cilliated columnar cells with focal cellar atypia, and frequent mitoses. Suspicious pleural invasion foci were identified. The Ki-67 labeling index was about 24.3% and p53 labeling index was about 31.7%. Glandular papilloma is known as a benign neoplasm, which is lack of atypia and mitosis. In present case, there were several indications of malignant transformation, such as cellular atypia, frequent mitosis, architectural distortion, and pleural invasion. Pathologists must be aware that glandular papilloma can have a changes of malignant transformation. Further studies about disease behavior and molecular characteristics are needed.

Clinicians should looking for techniques that helps to early diagnosis of cancer, because early cancer detection is critical to increase survival and cost effectiveness of treatment, and as a result decrease mortality rate. Medical images are the most important tools to provide assistance. However, medical images have some limitations for optimal detection of some neoplasias, originating either from the imaging techniques themselves, or from human visual or intellectual capacity. Image processing techniques are allowing earlier detection of abnormalities and treatment monitoring. Because the time is a very important factor in cancer treatment, especially in cancers such as the lung and breast, imaging techniques are used to accelerate diagnosis more than with other cancers. In this paper, we outline experience in use of image processing techniques for lung and breast cancer diagnosis. Looking at the experience gained will help specialists to choose the appropriate technique for optimization of diagnosis through medical imaging.

We experienced a very rare case of pulmonary blastoma in a 29 year old female. She complained of left chest pain and dyspnea for 1 month. The characteristic feature of this tumor is it`s biphasic pattern consisting of a spindle cell stroma containing glandular structures. A serial check of simple chest X-ray and computed tomography revealed a growing huge lung mass occupying whole left thorax. We successfully removed the upper lobe of left lung with a huge tumor mass. Pathologic study revealed this tumor as pulmonary blastoma. We report a case with review of literature.
