Abstract

Pulmonary hyalinizing granuloma (PHG) is a rare disease that usually presents with multiple bilateral pulmonary nodules and characteristic histological findings, with hyaliuized collagen lamellae. Because of the absence of characteristic radiologic and clinical features, PHG is usually diagnosed after surgical resection or biopsy. We performed thoracoscopic wedge resection for a pulmonary nodule located in the right lower lobe that proved to be PHG histo-pathologically. We report two cases along with a review of the literature.

폐장의 초자화 육아종은 보통 양측성 다발성 폐결절의 형태를 보이며 특징적인 조직소견으로 유리질의 층상구조를 보이는 드문 질환이다. 특징적인 영상소견이나 임상양상을 보이지는 않고 수술적 절제나 생검을 통한 조직학적 소견으로 진단되는 경우가 대부분이다. 저자들은 우연히 발견된 우측 폐하엽에 종괴에 대하여 흉강경하 폐채기절제술을 시행하였고 조직학적 진단상 폐 초자화 육아종으로 진단된 2예를 치험하였기에 이에 대하여 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고한다.
