Localized Fibrous Tumors of the Pleura-Report of 3 cases, Benign and Malignant-

흉막에 발생한 국소성 섬유성 종양-3례 보고-


Abstract

Localized fibrous tumor of the pleura is a rare condition. Most follow a benign course and they are round as an incidental finding during routine chest X-ray. A small proportion of these tumors are malignant and have characteristic clinical and histopathological features. In this paper, we report three cases of localized fibrous tumors of the pleura, one malignant associated with asymptomatic hypoglycemia, the others benign. In a malignant case, the tumor was reseated through thoracotomy and the hypoglycemia was relieved immediately. In two benign cases, tumors on small pedicles were resected using video-assisted thoracic surgical technique.

흉막에 발생하는국소성 섬유성 종양은 드문 질환으로 대부분의 경우 단순흉부촬영상 우연히 발견되며 특징적 인 임상상 및 조직병 리학적 소견을 보인다. 본 논문에서는 증상없는 저혈당을 동반한 악성 국소성 섬유성 종양 1례 및 양성 국소성 섬유성 종양 2례를 보고하고자 한다. 악성의 예에서는 개흉술을 통해 종양을 절제해 내었고 수술직후 저혈당의 소실을 관찰할 수 있었으며 양성 2예에서는 비디고 흉강경을 이용하여 종양을 절제할 수 있었다.
