Bronchioloaveolar cell carcinoma is an uncommon primary lung cancer and may exhibit various pathologic, radiologic, and clinical presentations. We experienced a case of Bronchioloalveolar cell carcinoma with Air-bronchogram in chest CT scans. The features of Bronchioloalveolar cell carcinoma on CT scans have not been extensively described.

폐 말초에 발생한 고립성 결절의 증례가 점차 늘고 있다. 저자들은 이러한 폐결절에 대하여 방사선학적으로 양, 악성의 감별이 어느 정도 유용한가를 알아보고자 하였다. 대상과 방법: 직경 3cm 이하의 폐 말초에 발생한 고립성 병변증례 134예에 대하여 술전에 시행된 고해상 CT (HRCT)에서 결절 내부의 성상과 경계부 형태, 그리고 주변 폐실질과의 관계에 대하여 관찰하였다. 결과: GGA 면적비가 50% 이상인 경우는 선암과 일부 전이성 폐암 그리고 염증성 병변에서만 관찰되었으며, 90% 이상인 경우는 선암에서만 존재하였다. 반면에 비선암성 폐암과 양성 폐종양, 그리고 결핵종에서는 모두 GGA 면적비가 50% 이하였는데, 특히 10% 미만이 대부분이었다. Air bronchogram, spiculation, lobulation, vascular involvement, 그리고 pleural indentation의 소견들은 주로 악성 병변에서 관찰되었는데, 특히 원발성 선암에서 30% 이상의 고발현도를 보였다. 결론: 대부분의 원발성 폐선암은 HRCT에서 특징적인 소견들을 보이고 있다. 따라서 이러한 소견들에 유의한다면 다른 병변들과의 감별에 많은 도움이 될 것으로 생각되었다.

A 2-year-old, female Pomeranian dog was referred for dyspnea. Thoracic radiographs revealed left-sided mediastinal shift, increased soft tissue opacity in the caudal aspect of left thorax with loss of the left diaphragmatic silhouette, and dorsal elevation of mediastinal structures and heart from the sternum by lung tissue. The left main bronchus was visualized as an air-bronchogram and observed to abruptly discontinue at the level of the 10th rib. Thoracic computed tomography (CT) revealed absence of the left lung parenchyma and left pulmonary vessels with a rudimentary left main bronchus. The case was congenital pulmonary aplasia diagnosed via radiography and CT.

Intralobar pulmonary sequestration is rare congenital lung disease, in which systemic artery supplies a congenitally cystic portion of the lung. Patient was 19 years old male whose complaints were fever, chest pain and sputum. Chest film showed a round homogenous density and air-fluid level at the left lower lung field and on bronchogram, contrast materials did not enter the abscess pocket. By operation multiple lung abscess pockets at the lower lobe were noted. An aberrant artery, measuring 0.4cm. in diameter and 2 cm. in length, arised from the aorta just above the diaphragm and entered the pusterior basal segment of left lower lobe. After division of the artery, left lower lobectomy was done ana postoperative hospital course was uneventful. Pathologic findings were multiple lung cysts which were not connected to the left lower lobe bronchi and an aberrant artery which showed elastic lamillation and mild sclerotic change.

A 64-year-old male was admitted due to weight loss of 5kg during a month. Chest X-ray showed two large, lobulated masses on both lower lobe. Chest CT showed ill-defined, multilobulated mass on left lower lobe and irregular, relatively homogenous mass with air-bronchogram on right lower lobe. Left lower lobectomy and right lower lobectomy was performed sequentially with three months interval. Microscopic findings showed squamous cell carcinoma of both mass. It was thought that this patient had synchronous double primary lung cancer.

Objective: To investigate the association between CT imaging features and survival outcomes in patients with primary invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma (IMA). Materials and Methods: Preoperative CT image findings were consecutively evaluated in 317 patients with resected IMA from January 2011 to December 2015. The association between CT features and long-term survival were assessed by univariate analysis. The independent prognostic factors were identified by the multivariate Cox regression analyses. The survival comparison of IMA patients was investigated using the Kaplan-Meier method and propensity scores. Furthermore, the prognostic impact of CT features was assessed based on different imaging subtypes, and the results were adjusted using the Bonferroni method. Results: The median follow-up time was 52.8 months; the 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival rates of resected IMAs were 68.5% and 77.6%, respectively. The univariate analyses of all IMA patients demonstrated that 15 CT imaging features, in addition to the clinicopathologic characteristics, significantly correlated with the recurrence or death of IMA patients. The multivariable analysis revealed that five of them, including imaging subtype (p = 0.002), spiculation (p < 0.001), tumor density (p = 0.008), air bronchogram (p < 0.001), emphysema (p < 0.001), and location (p = 0.029) were independent prognostic factors. The subgroup analysis demonstrated that pneumonic-type IMA had a significantly worse prognosis than solitary-type IMA. Moreover, for solitary-type IMAs, the most independent CT imaging biomarkers were air bronchogram and emphysema with an adjusted p value less than 0.05; for pneumonic-type IMA, the tumors with mixed consolidation and ground-glass opacity were associated with a longer DFS (adjusted p = 0.012). Conclusion: CT imaging features characteristic of IMA may provide prognostic information and individual risk assessment in addition to the recognized clinical predictors.

본 환자는오랜 기간 지속된 호흡곤란과 천명을 주소로 본원에 내원하였다. 당시 환자의 폐기능 검사상 고정형 형태의 기관지 협착소견이 보여, 기관지 조영술로 기관지 협착증을 진단하여 기관지 절제술과 함께 성형술로서 호흡곤란의 증세를 완화시키고, 폐기능 검사상 정상의 기류-용적 곡선을 보이게 되어 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Background: To investigate whether CT findings can predict the invasiveness of persistent cancerous pure ground glass opacity (pGGO) by correlating the CT imaging features of persistent pGGO with pathological changes. Materials and Methods: Ninety five patients with persistent pGGOs were included. Three radiologists evaluated the morphologic features of these pGGOs at high resolution CT (HRCT). Binary logistic regression was used to assess the association between CT findings and histopathological classification (pre-invasive and invasive groups). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of diameters. Results: A total of 105 pGGOs were identified. Between pre-invasive (atypical adenomatous hyperplasia, AAH, and adenocarcinoma in situ, AIS) and invasive group (minimally invasive adenocarcinoma, MIA and invasive lung adenocarcinomas, ILA), there were significant differences in diameter, spiculation and vessel dilatation (p<0.05). No difference was found in air-bronchogram, bubble-lucency, lobulated-margin, pleural indentation or vascular convergence (p>0.05). The optimal threshold value of the diameters to predict the invasiveness of pGGO was 12.50mm. Conclusions: HRCT features can predict the invasiveness of persistent pGGO. The pGGO with a diameter more than 12.50mm, presences of spiculation and vessel dilatation are important factors to differentiate invasive adenocarcinoma from pre-invasive cancerous lesions.
