호흡기 유두종(recurrent respiratory papillomatosis, RRP)은 호흡기의 편평상피에 발생하는 바이러스성 질환으로 잦은 재발과 증식을 특징으로 한다. 다발성으로 발생하는 경우 소아에서는 생명을 위협하기도 하는 치명적인 질환이다. 호흡기 유두종의 발생에 가장 중요한 원인은 유두종 바이러스(human papilloma virus : HPV)의 감염으로 생각된다. HPV는 Papovaviridae군에 속하는 이중쇄 구조의 DNA virus로서 피부 사마귀, 항문성기기관 및 호흡소화기관의 양성 또는 악성 편평상피 유두종을 유발하는 원인 인자로 알려져 있다. 최근까지의 발표에 의하면 HPV 6, 11형이 호흡기 유두종증의 주원인이라고 알려져 있다. 원인 바이러스의 검출방법에 대하여 최근 DNA chip을 이용하는 방법이 개발되었고, 자궁경부암과 암 전구병변에서 인 유두종 바이러스의 아형에 대한 연구가 발표된 바 있다.

Endobronchial metastases from extrathoracic primary malignancies are uncommon. Breast, renal, and colonic carcinomas are primary sites most likely to give rise to endobronchial metastases. A number of other tumours have been reported as being complicated by endobronchial metastasis, including ovarian, thyroid, uterine, adrenal, testicular and prostatic carcinomas. The incidence of endobronchial metastasis has been estimated at 2% in patients who died of metastatic disease. Lung parenchymal metastases are common manifestations in patients with rectal cancer, however spread to the major airway is extremely rare. We herein report a case of endobronchial metastasis from rectal adenocarcinoma. A 69-year-old male patient who had been previously treated with surgical resection with rectal cancer presented with a 8-month history of gradually increasing dyspnea and non-productive cough. Clinical and radiological investigations revealed endobronchial metastasis involving, and penetrating, the lower carina and the left main bronchus. We confirmed endobronchial metastasis from the rectal carcinoma by bronchoscopic biopsy.

Various flaps are using for reconstruction of esophageal defect. The choice of reconstruction is depended to the oncologic needs of the situation. If the entire esophagus or significant part of the thoracic esophagus is involved by tumor, then total esophagectomy and gastric pull-up or colon transposition is indicated. But for most hypopharyngeal tumors, laryngopharyngeal tumors, and cervical esophageal tumors, segmental resection of these area and replacement with a jejunal fee or forearm free flap has become the standard technique. The authors have experienced a case of total pharyngo-laryngo-esophago-gastrectomy and colon transposition in a patient of esophageal cancer following partial esophagectomy and gastic pull-up due to corrosive esophageal stricture. We report this case with brief review of the literatures.

경동맥 파열은 악성 종양으로 인한 두경부 수술의 1-5%에서 발생하고 80%의 사망률과 생존자의 50%에서 신경학적 후유증을 나타낸다. 저자들은 수술전ㆍ후 방사선치료를 받은 환자 2례에서 경동맥파열을 경험하였다. 제 1례는 51세의 남자로서 후두암($T_4$NoMx)으로 후두전적출술과 6120 rad의 수술후 방사선 치료 후 좌측 악하 부위에 악성 종양의 경동맥 침윤으로 시험적 수술후 6일만에 경동맥 파열로 사망하였다. 제 2례는 51세의 남자로서 하인두암($T_3$$N_2$Mx)으로 7200 rad의 수술전 방사선치료후 악성 종양의 재발로 후두전적출술과 일측의 근치적 경부곽청술후 누공을 형성하여 수술후 14일만에 경동맥 파열로 사망하였다.

The anatomical study of whole organ sections was used necessarily for understanding the histopathological anatomy, and routes of neoplastic spread. Ten whole-organ cancerous larynges were axially sectioned and its histopathologic findings were compared with the MRI findings. This study is designed to evaluate the anatomical relationships of the tumor to the laryngeal structure & possible spread of cancer of the larynx.

Background and Objectives： Heat shock protein(HSP) 27 is a member of the small HSP family that plays a part in the epithelial cell growth and differentiation, wound healing. apoptosis and cell protection against inflammatory cytotoxic mediators. The expression of HSP27 was investigated in normal laryngeal tissue and squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx. Materials and Methods : We studied expression of HSP27 by Western blot on 20 patients of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Results： HSP27 expressed in all normal and cancer tissues. In 9 cases(45%), expression of HSP27 more prominent in cancer tissue. Statistically, there were no significant difference in the expression of HSP27 in normal and cancer tissue, clinical stage and tumor differentiation. Conclusion 45% of cancer tissues was more prominent than normal tissue. But further studies on expression of HSP27 in laryngeal cancer and relationship with clinical parameter should be done.

후두암 및 하인두암의 광역절제후 결손된 하인두 및 경부식도의 재건방법에는 여러 근피판, 인두위 문합이나 유리공장이식술과 같은 소화장기의 이용 및 전박유리피판술 등이 있다. 저자들은 1985년부터 1994년까지 10년간 세브란스병원에서 후두 및 하인두암으로 수술적 치료를 받은 예중 인두위문합술로 재건한 7례, 유리공장이식술로 재건한 9례, 전박유리피판술로 재건한 7례의 치료성적을 후향적으로 고찰하여 하인두 및 경부식도의 재건에 사용할 수 있는 술식들의 치료결과 및 장단점을 알아보고자 하였다. 피판의 생존은 세가지 술식 모두에서 양호하였으며 구강을 통한 식이섭취가 전례에서 가능하였다. 발생한 합병증으로는 인두피부누공, 문합부위의 협착 등이 있었으며 보존적인 방법으로 치유가 가능하였다.

The postoperative respiratory complications such as pneumonia and ARDS, are poor prognostic factors after esophagectomy in patients with esophageal cancer. To avoid these complications, there have been attempts to use minimally invasive approach. Recently introduced daVinciTM S surgical system is used in esophagectomy because of its advantages of minimal invasiveness, clear 3-dimensional imaging and precise handling of robotic arms. We report a 83-year-old esophageal cancer patient who underwent daVinciTMS robot-assisted esophagectomy, laparoscopic stomach mobilization followed by cervical esophagogastrostomy.

A case of squamous cell carcinoma of the thyroid gland associated with esophageal carcinoma is presented A squamous cell carcinoma of the thyroid gland is rare and is prognosis is poor. The histogenesis of squamous cell carcinoma is not clear, but at present, it is believed that most cases arise from the follicular epithelium It is very important to know whether squamous cell carcinoma of the thyroid is primary or secondary. Thus, the possibility of squamous cell carcinoma in the thyroid being the result of a metastasis or extension from a primary tumor in the trachea or esophagus must always be ruled out and intensive evaluation should be required to confirm the diagnosis of this disease. We report a squamous cell carcinoma of the thyroid associated with esophageal cancer with brief review of literature.

Carcinosarcoma of the lung is a rare turner with an admixture of malignant epithelial(carcinomatous) and malignant mesenchymal (sarcomatous) components. Clinicopathologically, pulmonary carcinosarcoma has been divided into two types by its anatomical locations and growth nature, peripheral parenchymal and central endobronchial variants. We experienced an endobronchial carcinosarcoma that induced complete atelectasis of the right lung due to polypoid growing mass from the right upper lobe bronchus in a 67 year old male smoker. The patient underwent a successful right pneumonectomy. The tumor was composed of squamous cell carcinoma with variable sarcomatous differentiation into myogenous and undifferenciated sarcoma that demonstrated by immunohistochemical study. The patient has been doing well for the last seven months since the operation, without metastases or turner recurrence.
