Abstract

Sarcoidosis, a multisystemic granulomatous disorder of unknown causes, which presents with bilateral hilar adenopathy, pulmonary infiltration, and cutaneous, ocular, bones, and nervous and reticuloendothelial systems involvement, commonly involves young adults of both sexes. Herein, the case of a 70-year-old male, with progressive hoarseness of two weeks' duration and mild dyspnea, is reported. A fiberoptic bronchoscopy, performed to investigate the hoarseness, revealed paralysis of the left vocal cord, but with no other local abnormality. Two nodules, as pathologic findings, showed noncaseating epithelioid cell granulomas. We note a rare case of sarcoidosis, with vocal cord palsy, in Korea.

유육종증은 침범된 기관에 T림프구와 단핵구가 축적되고, 비건락성 상피양세포 육아종이 생기면서 정상 조직의 구조가 파괴되는 원인 불명의 비교적 흔한 만성 질환이다. 저자들은 쉰목소리를 보여 기관지 내시경을 하였으나, 마비된 왼쪽 성대 자체에는 특별한 문제가 없었으며, 컴퓨터 단층촬영과 Gallium-67 스캔에서 비대해진 종격동으로 회귀 후두신경 압박에 의한 임상 양상으로 추측하였고, ACE증가와 피부 병변의 비건락성 육아종을 보였으며 또한 결핵, 진균 등의 침범은 배제할 수 있어 유육종증을 진단하였다. 해외에서는 쉰목소리의 원인으로 유육종증이 진단 된 경우가 종종 보고되고 있으나, 한국에서 드문 것으로 보여 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
