종격동내의 림프계는 해부학적으로 크게 3구역 즉, anterior compartment, visceral compartment, 그리고 paravertebral sulci 로 나눌 수 있으며, 이 중 식도와 폐로부터 유입되는 visceral compartment가 종양외과학적으로 중요한 의미를 가지고 있다. 두경부 암종에서도 경부의 림프계를 거쳐 종격동의 visceral compartment의 림프계로 전이가 일어날 수 있는데, 본 연제에서는 종격동의 visceral compartment와 관련이 깊은 식도 림프계의 해부학적인 특성과 종격 림프계의 해부, 그리고 두경부 암종의 수술에서 종격 림프절 적출에 대하여 기술하였다. 선천성과 악성 질환에 의한 경우는 비악성 질환에 의한 경우와 치료방침에 많은 차이가 있어 비악성 질환에 의한 기관식도루에 초점을 두고 논하고자 한다.

This study is to investigate the effects of manual lymphatic drainage of stressed hospital office employees on the autonomic nervous. A total of 30 stressed hospital office women voluntarily participated in the study. The participants were randomized to the manual lymphatic drainage groups and rest groups. The intervention was conducted for 20 minutes in each group. There were significant differences in sympathetic nerve, parasympathetic nerve, and pain within manual lymphatic drainage groups(p<.05). There were significant differences between groups for the sympathetic nerve, parasympathetic nerve, and pain(p<.05). Therefore, manual lymphatic drainage is an effective intervention for reducing the stress and pain of stressed hospital office employees.

Esophagobronchial fistula is an uncommon complication of tuberculous lymphadenitis and usually requires surgical treatment in addition to antituberculosis medication. A case of tuberculous esophagobronchial fistula was healed effectively with antituberculous therapy alone.

Sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy or Rosai-Dorfman disease(RDD) is a rare type of histiocytosis syndrome, that presents in its most typical form as massive, painless, bilateral lymph node enlargement in the neck during the first or second decade of life. The disease involves extranodal site in over 25% to 43% of the cases, however cases of extranodal RDD without nodal disease have rarely been reported. The involved sites of extranodal RDD have been reported various that were orbit, ocular adnexae, head and neck, upper respiratory tract, breast, gastrointestinal tract, CNS, etc. A 35 year-old man was present with pleural pain on left anterior chest and anterior mediastinal mass, that underwent an excision to remove the suspected invasive thymoma, and the diagnosis was confirmed to extranodal Rosai-Dorfman disease.

The 64-year-old female patient with cough and intermittent hemoptysis of six months duration visited our hospital. On chest computed tomography, a small, ovoid, 1.3cm sized and well enhanced lesion was detected on the distal trachea. Two multiple lobulated lesions on the sigmoid and transverse colon were revealed on the colonoscopy. The histological findings showed small and medium sized lymphocytes infiltration, CD20 and CD79a positive staining and multiple lymphoepithelial lesions on the distal trachea and colon tissues. Herein, a case of primary MALT lymphoma, with involvement of the trachea and colon, which was treated with rituximab (CD20 anti-monoclonal antibody), cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, vincristine and prednisolone (CHOP regimen), is reported.

It is generally agreed that cellular immune functions are damaged by radiation therapy(RT). However, the exact effects of RT on peripheral lymphocytes are not yet clear. Authors previously reported the radiation effects on lymphocytes subpopulations, but these results merely showed the alteration of proportion of lymphocytes subpopulations after RT. So we try to evaluate the number of lymphocytes in each subpopulations as well as the proportion of subpopulations, and the recovery patterns of these alterations by time duraion after RT. The result shows that the proportion of subpopulations and number of lymphocytes in each subpopulations are decreased after RT except natural killer cells(NK cells), which proportion is increased but number is not changed, and these changes are stationary continued for post RT 6 months and then gradually recovered. However, the radiation effects on peripheral lymphocytes still remain after one year.

Cystic hygroma is a congenital anomaly of the lymphatic system for which the exact pathogenetic mechanism remains to be elucidated. It is filled with lymphatic fluid and commonly present in the cervical area in either single isolated or multiple form. It is usually innocuous without any pain but may be life-threatening when it is large enough to compromise the airway or interfere with swallowing. Since spontaneous regressions rarely occur, it requires surgical removal. However, this may be rendered difficult in multiple forms and in those with extensive infiltration into the surrounding tissue. This is a presentation of 10 pediatric patients with cystic hygroma who have been successfully treated by sclerotherapy using bleomycin at the authors' department.
