Abstract

Capillary hemangioma is the most common vascular tumor in childhood; however, its occurrence in the bronchus is extremely rare. We recently performed a sleeve resection of the left main bronchus on a four-month-old infant with a severe emphysema caused by bronchial capillary hemangioma.

모세혈관종은 소아에서 가장 흔한 혈관종양으로 기관에서 발생되는 경우는 가끔 보고되고 있으나, 기관지에 발생하는 경우는 매우 드물다. 본원에서는 좌측 주기관지에 모세혈관종이 있고, 이로 인해 좌측 폐의 심한 폐기종이 유발된 생후 4개월된 환아에 대해 좌측 주기관지 소매절제술을 성공적으로 치험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.
