종격동 기형종은 흉부외과의사가 흔치않게 수술하는 종양으로 무증상일 경우가 많다. 하지만 이 종양은 아주 드물게 늑막이나 심막을 침범하여 흉막 삼출이나 심낭 삼출, 심한 경우 심장압진으로 발전할 수도 있다. 종격동 기형종의 늑막 및 심막 침범, 파열의 기전은 잘 모르지만 종양 구성 조직요소가 작용을 하리라 의심된다. 본 예는 기형종이 늑막과 심막을 침범하여 흉막삼출과 심낭삼출을 유발한 경우로 환자는 종양과 심막 절제후 증상이 호전되었고 아무 문제없이 퇴원하였다.

저자들은 급성 호흡곤란을 주소로 내원하여 반복적 심낭삼출로 2차례 심막천자술을 시행하였으나 심증상이 지속되다가 이후 발생한 임상적 소견과 혈액검사로 전신성 홍반성 낭창을 진단하여 부신피질호르몬을 투여한 후 심증상의 뚜렷한 호전을 보인 11세 여환아를 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

신경성 식욕부진은 여자 청소년에 있어서 체중 감소의 주된 원인임과 동시에 소아와 청소년에 있어서 입원의 주된 원인 중의 하나이다. 이는 생명을 위협할 수 있는 장애로서 약 1/3에서 심장 합병증으로 사망한다. 신경성 식욕부진 환자에서 심장막삼출이 높은 발생빈도를 보인다고 최근에 보고되고 있으나 심장막천자술이 필요한 경우는 흔하지 않다. 저자들은 많은 양의 심장막삼출을 동반한 3명의 신경성 식욕부진 여아를 경험하였기에 보고하고자 한다. 이 중 2명은 심낭압전의 가능성이 있어서 심장막천자술이 필요하였다.

Pericardial mesothelioma is a rare neoplasm in dogs. This report describes a case of pericardial mesothelioma in a 13-year-old Shih Tzu that presented with a clinical history of dyspnea. Hemorrhagic pericardial effusion and chylous pleural effusion with reactive mesothelial cells were identified by radiograph and cytology. Necropsy revealed multiple round nodules throughout the pericardium and regional lymph nodes in addition to chylothorax. Histopathology revealed invasive neoplasm on the pericardial surface with metastasis to the lymph nodes. The neoplastic cells were immunopositive to both cytokeratin and vimentin. Diagnosis of pericardial mesothelioma with regional lymph node metastasis was made.

Clinical experience of 48 acute pericarditis with effusion was reviewed and presented. There were 28 male and 20 female patients ranging from 3 years to 77 years old. Malignant effusion; Twenty patients had underlying malignancy. These etiologies were lung ca[8 patients, 40%], breast ca[7 patients 35%], lymphoma[2 patients, 10%], esophageal ca[1 patients, 5%], stomach ca[1 patient, 5%], ovarian ca[1 patient, 5%]. Uremic effusion; 15 patients with renal failure required surgical intervention. Traumatic effusion; 7 patients had traumatic pericarditis. These etiologies were stab wound [5 patients, 71.4%] and aspiration[2 patients, 28.6%]. Pyogenic effusion: 6 patients had pyogenic pericarditis. These etiologies were empyema thoracis[3 patients, 50%], liver abscess[2 patients, 33.3%], pneumonia[1 patient, 16.7%]. The patients were treated by pericardiocentesis, subxiphoid tube drainage, pericardiectomy: 4 of them underwent pericardiocentesis; 37, subxiphoid tube drainage; 5, pericardiectomy. We conclude that subxiphoid tube pericardial drainage was effective for treatment of pericardial effusion.

Primary cardiac tumors are extremely rare and about 20-25% of primary cardiac tumors are malignant. Recently we have experienced a case of primary cardiac rhabdomyosarcoma originated on the right atrial wall. Patient was 41 years-old women and chief complaints were pitting edema and exertional dyspnea. Emergency operation was performed to relieve symptoms by pericardial effusion that hac been seen on the echocardiogram and large soft mass in right atrial cavity on the MRI. About 700ml amounts of bloody pericardial effusion was collected into the pericardial cavity. 4X5X5 cm sized ingrowing soft mass in the right atrial cavity and two small sized outgrowing masses were inspected. A tumor was invaded into the SA node and superior limbic portion of fossa ovalis. And then mass & right atrial free wall was resected but areas of SA node and fossa ovalis were not resected. Defect of right atrial wall was reconstruced with bovine patch. She was discharged after 2 weeks without any problems and she has been treated with chemotherapy.

Penetrating cardiac injury caused by nail gun is an uncommon life-threatening condition characterized by a rapidly severe hemodynamic status compromise. We report non-contrast-enhanced CT findings of a right ventricle myocardium injury leading to a fluid collection in the pericardial space with the same attenuation as blood. The CT findings well depicted the pathological feature of a significant cardiac injury and may be helpful for the surgical management.

A 75-year-old man was admitted to the hospital because of a pericardial effusion.After 3 L of blood-stained pericardial fluid was drained, clinical examination together with echocardiography and chest computed tomography showed a tumor in the right atrium. At operation a pedunculated vascular tumor was found with a broad base which was embedded in the atrial wall and extended into the pericardium.A wide resection was performed resulting in a large defect of the right atrial wall. The defect was reconstructed with a pericardial patch. The patient did well postoperatively, but bloody pleural effusion developed later, presumably because of pulmonary metastasis. The patient died 2 months after surgery as a result of respiratory failure.
