34세 남자 환자가 건강 검진상 우연히 폐종괴가 발견되어 이를 치료하고자 내원하였다. 기관지 내시경과 흉부 컴퓨터 단층촬영상 좌 폐 하엽 기관지내와 주변으로 종괴가 발견되었다. 개흉술을 실시하여 좌 폐 하엽 절제술을 실시하였고 종괴는 좌 폐 하엽 기관지를 침범한 폐 염증성 근섬유 아세포종으로 진단되었다. 기관지를 침범한 폐 염증성 근섬유 아세포종은 매우 드물게 발생되는 것으로 저자들은 이를 치험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to report the case of a patient with recurrent L858R mutation non-small-cell lung cancer with brain metastases treated with erlotinib and traditional Korean medicine after gefitinib failure. Methods: The patient was treated with erlotinib beginning in November 2021, and gamma knife surgery was performed on November 8, 2021. The dose of erlotinib was 150 mg/day every four weeks. At the same time, the patient was treated with traditional Korean medicine. Tumor size and cerebral edema were measured using computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, respectively. Adverse events were evaluated using the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 5.0. Results: After treatment with erlotinib and traditional Korean medicine for six months, the extent of the growing nodule in the right upper lobe decreased during the first three months and remained stable for the following three months. Peritumoral edema showed an increase three months after gamma knife surgery, but partial improvement of cerebral edema was confirmed with additional traditional Korean medicine six months after gamma knife surgery. The symptoms of discomfort and physical activity gradually improved. Conclusions: This case study suggests that the combination of EGFR-TKI and traditional Korean medicine may contribute to a reduction in tumor size and cerebral edema while improving quality of life.

Objective: The present study aimed to assess the relationship between incidental abnormalities on thoracic computed tomography (CT) and mortality in a general screening population using a long-term follow-up analysis. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively collected the medical records and CT images of 840 participants (mean age ± standard deviation [SD], 58.5 ± 6.7 years; 564 male) who underwent thoracic CT at a single health promotion center between 2007 and 2010. Two thoracic radiologists independently reviewed all CT images and evaluated any incidental abnormalities (interstitial lung abnormality [ILA], emphysema, coronary artery calcification [CAC], aortic valve [AV] calcification, and pulmonary nodules). Kaplan-Meier analysis with log-rank and z-tests was performed to assess the relationship between incidental CT abnormalities and all-cause mortality in the subsequent follow-up. Cox proportional hazards regression was performed to further identify risk factors of all-cause mortality among the incidental CT abnormalities and clinical factors. Results: Among the 840 participants, 55 (6%), 171 (20%), 288 (34%), 396 (47%), and 97 (11%) had findings of ILA, emphysema, CAC, pulmonary nodule, and AV calcification, respectively, on initial CT. The participants were followed up for a mean period ± SD of 10.9 ± 1.4 years. All incidental CT abnormalities were associated with all-cause mortality in univariable analysis (p < 0.05). However, multivariable analysis further revealed fibrotic ILA as an independent risk factor for all-cause mortality (hazard ratio, 2.52 [95% confidence interval, 1.02-6.22], p = 0.046). ILA were also identified as an independent risk factor for lung cancer or respiratory disease-related deaths. Conclusion: Incidental abnormalities on screening thoracic CT were associated with increased mortality during the long-term follow-up. Among incidental CT abnormalities, fibrotic ILA were independently associated with increased mortality. Appropriate management and surveillance may be required for patients with fibrotic ILA on thoracic CT obtained for general screening purposes.

사구종양은 작은 동통성 결절로 나타나는 독특한 양성종양으로, 사지에서 가장 흔하게 발생하지만 신체의 어느부위에서도 발견될 수 있다. 기관 또는 폐실질에서의 발생은 지극히 드물게 보고되어져 있지만, 주기관 지의 사구종양은 본 연구에 의하면 세계적으로 보고된 바가 없었다. 저자들은 혈담과 호흡곤란을 주소로 내 원한 67세 남자환자에게서 발생한 좌측 주기관지의 사구종양을 절제수술 후 병리조직학적으로 확진하였기 에 보고하는 바이다.

본 논문은 저선량 흉부 CT 영상을 활용하여 패결절을 자동으로 검출하는 알고리즘에 관한 연구내용을 담고 있다. 폐 결절 자동 검출을 위해 폐 CT 영상 내에 폐결절의 가지고 있는 특징들 중, 이동성 및 기하학적 특징을 가지고 폐혈관과 폐결절을 구분하였다. 실험한 영상은 폐결절이 없는 정상환자군을 가지고 실시 하였으며, 그 결과 4.4False Positive / Scan이 발생하였다.

Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma exhibits immunohistochemically similar features to lymphoepithelioma and commonly occurs in the skin, salivary gland, breast, lung, gastrointestinal tract, liver, urinary tract, prostate, vulva and vagina. Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma from the thyroid gland is extremely rare. We recently experienced a case of lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma of thyroid gland in a 28-year-old female, who presented a thyroid nodule that was suspicious of papillary carcinoma. We report this unusual case of lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma of thyroid gland with a brief review of literature.

A 14-year-old castrated male Persian cat presented with a 2-week history of respiratory difficulty. On physical examination, the patient showed intermittent open-mouth breathing and thoracic auscultation revealed wheezing. Thoracic radiographs revealed a narrowed upper airway and pulmonary infiltration. Computed tomography detected a mass occluding the lumen of the trachea at the level of the entrance to the thorax, a mass causing right main bronchus stenosis, and a nodule on the right caudal lung lobe. Bronchoalveolar lavage cytology tentatively diagnosed a carcinoma. Tracheal mass resection was performed through tracheostomy. Histopathology confirmed the presence of tracheobronchial carcinoma. The survival time after diagnosis was 10 months, during which time the cat underwent tracheostomy, debulking by endotracheal tube, and tracheal stent placement procedures in combination with toceranib phosphate adjuvant chemotherapy.
