A 7-year-old, female snow goose (Anser caerulescens hyperboreus) with history of decreased activity for 2 month died in Daejeon Zoo Land in September 2006. At necropsy, granulomatous pneumonia and hepatomegaly with multiple cysts were observed. Small masses were found in the spleen. Microscopically, fibrinous pneumonia distributed in most of the lung lobe with pulmonary edema and congestion. Especially, granulomatous inflammation with numerous multinucleated giant cells was observed around the dilated bronchi. To confirm the diagnosis, acid-fast (Ziehl-Neelsen method) and periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining was performed. Acid-fast staining showed red bacterial colony indicating tuberculosis. PAS staining was also positive enough to diagnose aspergillus spp. co-infection that was an opportunistic fungi occurring in immuno-compromised animals. Based on the above results, we confirmed that the case submitted was diagnosed as avian tuberculosis.

Bronchogenic cysts are thought to be uncommon developmental anomalies. They develop from small buds or diverticuli that separate from the foregut in the formation of the tracheo-bronchial tree. They are nearly always located near the tracheal bifurcation; However, these lesions can occur anywhere along the tracheo-bronchial tree. We experienced a case of cervical bronchogenic cyst presenting sorely as an anterior neck mass in a 26-year-old woman. The neck ultrasonography showed as $1.4{\times}1.1cm$ sized hypoechoic lesion with a well-defined margin on the isthmic portion of the thyroid gland. Excision of the mass was carried out. The mass was superfical to the strap muscle and was contained within the subcutaneous tissue in the midline without any connection to the trachea. Grossly, the mass was an oval-shaped cystic lesion which measured 1.5 cm in the greatest diameter. The cyst was filled with thick, yellow, jelly-like material and the inner surface was smooth and glistening. Microscopically, the cyst showed a lining of ciliated columnar epithelium, beneath which was a loose areolar stroma containing plaques of mucous glands and mature cartilage. We thought this cervical bronchogenic cyst appeared to represent an expression of complete aberrent accessory lung bud detachment from the primitive foregut.

We present a case of congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) in a 25-year-old male who was presented with chronic cough. Chest radiography revealed an abnormal mass-like shadow in the right lower pulmonary zone. A contrast enhanced computed tomography showed an 11 cm solid, cystic mixed mass on the right lower lobe. A right lower lobectomy was performed by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery without complications. The gross specimen showed a massive cavitation with multiloculated cysts of varying size, consistent with CCAM, along with noticeable granulomatous inflammation. Non-tuberculosis mycobacteria were isolated from a bronchial wash specimen, and the resected tissue homogenates were positive for Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex by polymerase chain reaction.

This is a report on a total of 8 cases of benign mediastinal tumors and cysts in Department of Thoracic Surgery, Chonnam University Hospital during the period from 1961 to 1969. The patients age was distributed between 18 and 38 year old with the highest incidence in the age group of second decade. Sex ratio of male to female was 3: 5. The tumors were classificed as follow; 3 case:, of neurogenic tumors, 2 cases of teratomas, one case of pericardial cyst, one case of cystic hygroma, and one case of brochogenic cyst. The symptomatic patients were 5 cases(62. 6%) and asymptomatic patients were 3 cases(37.5%). The symptomatic patients had the symptoms not referable to their lesion and the mediastinal tumors of asymptomatic patients were incidently found by routine chest X-ray. The Symptoms occurred by compression to adjacent nerve system in 3 cases. by perforation into the lung with infection in one case and by infection of bronchial cyst in one case. The complications were Pancoast's syndrome including Horner's syndrome(2 cases), middle lobe syndrome (one case), bro:1chial infection(one case) and intercostal neuralgia(one case). All tbe tumors were surgicai[y resectable with good recovery postoperatively. In 5 cases of the symptomatic patents, their symptoms were disappeared dramatically after operation.

Bronchogenic cysts are developmental foregut anomalies usually located within the mediastinum or lung parenchyma. An isolated bronchogenic cyst of the diaphragm is very rare. Our case was a 56-year-old female patient who presented with pleuritic chest pain in her right chest. Chest and abdominal computed tomography revealed a large lobulated cystic mass that was accompanied with pleural effusion in the right lower hemithorax. The tumor showed focally calcified areas in the wall and abutted against the diaphragm. We performed complete excision of the cyst including a portion of the diaphragm attached to it. The pathological diagnosis was established as the bronchogenic cyst originating from the diaphragm. We report this case with a review of the literature.

봉와양폐(Honeycomb)는 직경 2~10mm 정도의 크기가 같지 않은 낭포(Cyst)가 경계가 명확한 섬유질(Fibrosis)로 이루어진 벽에 둘러싸여 밀집된 형태로 이루어져 있다. 봉와양폐가 발견될 경우 급성악화의 발생 빈도가 높으며 따라서 봉와양폐의 관찰 여부와 측정은 임상에서 중요한 지표가 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 봉와양폐 영역의 정량적 측정을 위하여 봉와양폐의 특징을 이용한 형태학적 기법과 군집성 평가 기법을 통해 자동 구획 방법을 제안하였다. 첫 번째로 영상의 잡음을 제거하기 위하여 가우시안 필터링을 적용하고, 모폴로지 기법 중 팽창 기법을 이용하여 폐 영역을 구획하였다. 두번째로, 주변 8방향 검사를 통해 봉와양폐를 구성하는 낭포의 후보군을 찾고, 영역 확장과 외곽선 검사를 통해 비 낭포들을 제거하였다. 마지막으로 군집화 검사를 통해 최종적으로 봉와양폐를 구획하였다. 제안한 방법은 80장의 고해상도 컴퓨터 단층촬영 영상에서 실험한 결과, 89.4%의 민감도와, 72.2%의 양성 예측도를 보였다.

Pulmonary sequestration is a rare anomaly, in which a local area of a lung is supplied separately by an anomalous artery that arises from the aorta or one of its branches. Infection, mainly bacterial, is a major complication of sequestration. We report the case of a 17-year-old male patient, who presented with cough and fever. The contrast-enhanced chest computer tomomgraphy (CT) scans revealed an aberrant artery that originated from the descending thoracic aorta. He underwent a left-lower lobectomy. Macroscopically, the abnormal segment presented as multiple heterogenous cystic and solid lesions, and the cysts were filled with mucoid and pus-like material. Histology showed that the pulmonary parenchyma had been replaced by caseating epitheloid granulomas. The mycobacterial culture of his sputum was positive. On the basis of these results, the diagnosis of tuberculosis was established. The patient was treated with anti-tuberculous medication for 6 months, and 1 year later, his clinical status remained excellent.

Objective : Hydatid cyst disease is caused by the parasite Echinococcus granulosus. It is rarely seen in the vertebral system, occurring at a rate of 0.2-1%. The aim of this study is to present 12 spinal hydatid cyst cases, and propose a new type of drainage of the cyst. Methods : Twelve cases of spinal hydatid cysts, surgical operations, multiple operations, chronic recurrences, and spinal hydatic cyst excision methods are discussed in the context of the literature. Patients are operated between 2005 and 2016. All the patients are kept under routine follow up. Patient demographic data and clinicopathologic characteristics are examined. Results : Six male and six female patients with a median age of 38.6 at the time of surgery were included in the study. Spinal cyst hydatid infection sites were one odontoid, one cervical, five thoracic, two lumbar, and three sacral. In all cases, surgery was performed, with the aim of total excision of the cyst, decompression of the spinal cord, and if necessary, stabilization of the spinal column. Mean follow up was 61.3 months (10-156). All the patients were prescribed Albendazole. Three patients had secondary hydatid cyst infection (one lung and two hepatic). Conclusion : The two-way drainage catheter placed inside a cyst provides post-operative chlorhexidine washing inside the cavity. Although a spinal hydatid cyst is a benign pathology and seen rarely, it is extremely difficult to achieve a real cure for patients with this disease. Treatment modalities should be aggressive and include total excision of cyst without rupture, decompression of spinal cord, flushing of the area with scolicidal drugs, and ensuring spinal stabilization. After the operation the patients should be kept under routine follow up. Radiological and clinical examinations are useful in spotting a recurrence.
