A pulmonary keratinizing cyst was found incidentally in a 30-week-old female Sprague-Dawley rat. The cyst was lobe of the lung, lined by stratified squamous epithelium and filled with concentric layers of desquamated keratin. The wall consisted of 2-4 layers of well differenciated squamous cells. The adjacent lung tissues were slightly compressed but not otherwise damaged by the cyst. There was no inflammatory reaction or mitotic figures observed in the cyst.

Bronchogenic cysts are a congenital cystic lesion which are usually found within the lung parenchyme or mediastinum. Two cases of bronchogenic cysts were presented and related literatures were reviewed. The first case of bronchogenic cyst was located in the wall of the esophagus. Preoperatively, this case was thought duplication cyst of esophagus, but postoperative microscopic examination showed the tumor was a bronchogenic cyst with respiratory epithelium. The second case had double cysts; one in the superior and posterior mediastinum, the other in the lung parenchyme. The cyst in the mediastinum was extirpated and the other cyst in the lung was removed by right upper lobectomy. Postoperative course were uneventful in both patients.

A very rare form of intrapulmonary cyst is an enterogenous cyst two examples of which were described by Ward and Krahl [1942]. Microscopically, the cyst wall is lined by gastric or intestinal type of mucous membrane which may include islets of pancreatic tissue; their walls contain muscle but no cartilage. We recently experienced a case of intrapulmonary enterogenous cyst. The patient was 30-year-old-male who showed chest pain and tightness after chest trauma. Chest X-ray revealed pneumothorax in both lung field with giant bullae in left upper lung field, right 6th and 7th rib fracture. Left lower lobectomy including cyst was done and the postoperative course was uneventful.

외상성 폐낭종은 비관통성 흉부외상후 발생되는드문공동성 폐 병변이다. 병 발생은공기와 액성 물 질을 함유하는 폐 실질의 좌상이다. 진단은 외상후 폐낭종이 발생될 수 있다는 인식에 기초를 두며, 다른 유사한 질환과 감별이 중요하다. 일단 외상성 폐장종이 진단되면, 치료는 입원후 필요시 호흡을 보조하 면서, 외과적 관찰을 하는 것이 원칙이다. 그러나 감염이 합병되고, 보존적 요법과 적합한 항생제 치료 에도 불구하고 낭종의 크기가 줄지 않는 경우, 수술적 치료를 요하다. 저자들은 최근 19세 남자 환자에서 외상성 폐낭종을 치험하였기에, 관련 문헌의 고찰과 함께 보고하 고자 한다.

재팽창성 폐부종은 만성적으로 허탈된 폐를 흉강 삽관술이나 늑막 천자술에 의해 급속히 재팽창시킬 때 발생하는 드문 합병증이다. 이는 또한 폐허탈 기간이 참거나 흉강내 흡인술의 적용없이도 발생할 수 있다. 저자들은 거대 종격동 흉선낭종의 절제술후 동반되어 발생한 재팽창 폐부종을 경험하였다. 환자는 26세 여자로 결핵성 흡수로 오인된 거대 종격동 낭종에 의해 장기간 폐허탈이 동반되어 있었다. 흉수배액을 위한 폐쇄식 흉강삽관술로 유발된 낭종의 파열로 농흉이 합병되었다. 저자들은 파열된 흉선낭종과 농홍을 성공적으로 수술 치험하였고, 낭종 절제술후 병발된 재팽창성 폐부종에대해 약물요법과 호기말 양압법을 이용한 기계호흡으로 치료하였다. 환자는 이후 특별한 합병증없이 건강히 퇴원하였다.

Cystic intrathoracic lesions of foregut origin are now well recognized and account for approximately 10% of lesions presenting as mediastinal tumors. The terminology used to describe mediastinal endodermal cysts has been confused and sometimes ambiguous. The embryological derivation of these lesions has been the cause of much speculation. It Is suggested that these lesions should be classified Into three main categories based on embryology bronchogenic cyst[resulting from a defect of lung budding], Intramural esophageal cyst[true duplication], and enteric cyst[resulting from the split notochord syndrome]. This communication describes a 26 year old man with intramural esophageal cyst who was diagnosed as posterior medlastlnai tumor preoperatively and cured with extirpation of the cyst.

A case of bronchogenic cyst arising from an accessory lobe in a 7-month old baby was encountered at Seoul University Hospital. On exploration, right lung consisted of 4 lobes and a huge cyst was confined to an accessory lobe, which had no bronchial connection. The cyst was filled with jelly-like thick mucus; inner surface was glistening and smooth. Microscopically, the cyst was lined with pseudostratified columnar epithelium. Bronchogenic cyst, moreover, which arising from an accessory lobe is very rare and interesting. And so, case report and review of literature was made.

Clinical manifestations of extralymphatic disease caused by filariasis are varied and range from symptoms due to tropical pulmonary eosinophilia to hematuria, proteinuria, splenomegaly, and rarely arthritis. Disseminated microfilaremia in association with loculated lung cyst and empyema is of rare occurrence and to the best of our knowledge has not been documented in the literature so far. We report here a case of disseminated microfilaremia due to Wuchereria bancrofti infection accompanied by a lung cyst and empyema in a 21-year-old Indian man.

Pulmonary sequestration, congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation[CCAM], infantile lobar emphysema[ILE], and bronchogenic cysts are four congenital lesions that show abnormal cystic areas within the lung field in early life. They share similar embryologic and clinical characteristics, Therefore they are sometimes difficult to make differential diagnosis each other, and all require surgical treatment. From 1984 to 1993, 20 patients underwent surgical corrections under these diagnostic categories[10 bronchogenic cyst, 4 pulmonary sequestration, 4 CCAM, and 2 ILE] in the department of thoracic & cardiovascular surgery, Inje University, Pusan Paik Hospital. There were 9 females and 11 males, Ages ranged from 26 days after birth to 69 years. Among them 5 cases of bronchogenic cyst were found out incidentally, but remained all 15 cases were noted as symptomatic cases. Recurrent pulmonary infections, respiratory distress and cough with cystic lesions in chest film were the main characteristics of them. Computed tomography and aortography were available for diagnostic conformation. For all the cases surgical resection were performed: 1 pneumonectomy, 2 bilobectomy, 9 lobectomy, 7 cyst resection and 1 mass[extralobar pulmonary sequestration] resection. All surgical treatments were well tolerated with no physical limitation. There was no operative mortality, and only one postoperative complication[empyema thoracis]. All patients were followed up ranging from 4 months to 9 years. A clinical awareness of these related lesions is important for prompt diagnosis and effective surgical treatment.

A total of 69 patients were treated for congenital lung cysts at Seoul National University Hospital during the period between 1960 and Aug, 1989. They were 37 patients of bronchogenic cyst, 18 patients of pulmonary sequestration, 7 patients of congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation [C.C.A.M.], and 7 patients of congenital lobar emphysema. In cases of bronchogenic cyst, involved age was variable from 7 months to 53 years and most cases were asymptomatic. They were located 14 cases in the right lung, 6 cases in the left lung and 17 cases in the mediastinum. Their sizes were also variable from 2.5 to 12 cm and most of them except 3 cases were solitary cysts. There were 6 cases that had bronchial communication. In cases of pulmonary sequestration, aged from 3 months to 29years, all were intrapulmonary type. 15 cases of them were found in the left lower field and 3 cases in the right lower field. Anomalous vessels were confirmed in 16 cases by aortography and/or surgical exploration. In cases of congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation, aged from 7 days to 6 years, 3 cases of infants were admitted due to severe dyspnea and cyanosis but the remaining 4 cases were admitted due to large cyst or abscess on chest roentgenogram. 3 cases were located in the right lung and 4 cases in the left lung. In cases of congenital lobar emphysema, aged from 14 days to 11 years, 6 cases were located in the right lung and one case was located in the left lung. All of them were male and had shown some degree of dyspnea from birth There were 2 cases of mortality, one in C.C.A.M and one in congenital lobar emphysema. But the remaining cases were well treated and recovered with the surgical resections.
