Desmoid tumor (fibromatosis) is a histologically benign fibrous neoplasm showing locally infiltrating growth. This type of tumor commonly occurs in the abdomen, but intrathoracic desmoid tumor is uncommon. To date, 12 cases of intrathoracic desmoid tumor protruding into the pleural cavity, radiologically mimicking pleural masses, have been reported. Here, we report on a case of intrathoracic desmoid tumor protruding into the pleural cavity, and partially covered by parietal pleura. The main preoperative differential diagnoses included pleural solitary fibrous tumor, inflammatory pseudotumor or malignant mesothelioma. A near-total mass excision was performed. Pathologically, the tumor was composed of a paucicellular arrangement of spindle-shaped cells with fibromyxoid stroma. The resection margin was partially involved with spindle cells present. On histochemical staining, the spindle cells were strongly positive for vimentin and negative for CD34, consistent with a desmoid tumor. The patient was stable without further adjuvant treatment during 6-years of follow-up.

본 례는 65세 남자 환자에서 전폐절제술후에 발생한 기관지 늑막루 및 농흉의 치험례로 일차적으로 만성화하게한 다음 정중흉골절개하 심낭절개로 좌 주기관지를 노출후 자동봉합기(TA 4.8-30)로 좌 주기관지를 이중 결찰 봉합하여 좌측 늑막강내의 염증을 일으키는 원인인 기관지 늑막루를 차단한 다음, 늑막강내의 농흉을 치료함에 있어 흉강경을 이용하여 변형된 Clagett술식으로 내면을 깨끗하게 세척한 후 민감한 항생제를 이용하여 늑막강을 채우고 흉강삽관을 뽑고 그 부위를 봉합하는 방법을 시행하여 잔존 농흉강을 폐쇄하였다.

Background: this study was designed to estimate whether specific risk factors could increase the postoperative complication rate of pneumonectomy for chronic complicated inf-lammatory lung disease. Material and Method: Eighty-five patients underwent pneumon-ectomy for chronic complicated inflammatory lung disease(tuberculosis, 67 ; bronchiecasis 11; aspergio- losis, 4; others, 3) between January 1991 and August 1998. We performed a univariated statistical analysis to identify preoperative and intraoperative risk factors associated with postoperative complications, Result: There was no operative mortality. There were a total of 18 postoperative complications(22.2%) Bronchopleural fistula(BPF) and empyema occurred in 5(5.9%) and 2(2.4%) respectively. General complication rate was significantly higher in patients with right-sided pneumonectomy(p=.029) extrapleural pneu-monectomy(p=.009) and intraoperative pleural spillage due to cavity or lesion perforation (p=.004). The prevalence of BPF and empyema was higher in patients with right sided pneumonectomy(p=.007) extrapleural pneumonectomy(p=.015) and intraoperative pl- eural spillage due to cavity or lesion perforation(p=.003) which is as the same results as gen-eral complication rate. Conclusion: The postoperative complication rate of pneumone-ctomy for chronic complicated lung disease is accptably low. But it is increase in patients with right sided pneumonectomy extrapleural pneumonectomy and intraoperative pleural spillage due to cavity or lesion perforation. therefore more careful and meticulous intra-operatve management are needed in right sided extrapleural pneumonectomy without intra- pleural spillage.

저자들은 전에 증상이 없던 환자에서 돌발적인 흉통과 호흡곤란이 발생하고, 단순흉부사진상 종격동 종괴와 좌흉막유출을 보여 종격동 기형종의 흉막강내 파열의 기능성을 고려했다. 진단이 쉽지 않은 급성증상에 대해 다른 흔한 흉곽내 질환들과의 감별진단이 필요했으며, 흉막강천자상 편평상피세포와 모발을, 흉부 단층촬영사진상 지방밀도를 포함한 다양한 밀도를 가진 종격동 낭성종괴를, 초음파유도 경피적 세침흡인술상 무핵의 편평상피를 포함한 무균성의 양성 낭성병변을 확인했다. 이러한 임상적, 세포학적, 방사선학적 검사소견으로 수술 전에 종격동 기형종의 흉막강내 파열을 진단할 수 있었으며, 본 증례에서는 측정되지 못했지만, 낭종액와 흉막유출액의 amylase 측정은 이러한 진단을 지지할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Two cases of traumatic diaphragmatic hernia are reported, who were operated on in this department during the last 12 months` period. The first case, a 34 year old male, fell from 6 meters` height while he was working on electric pole. He sustained rib fractures, left 8th, 9th and 10th rib, left diaphragmatic rupture and ileal perforation. In the pleural cavity, there were stomach, omentum, left lobe of liver, transverse colon and ileum, which were reduced into the peritoneal cavity, and the diaphragmatic aperture was closed through anterolateral thoracotomy. After closure of the thoracic incision, median abdominal incision was made and closed the ileal perforation by primary suture. The second case was a 19 year old tyre repairman, who felt abrupt severe abdominal pain during lifting a heavy lyre. A barium study revealed a marked displacement of the stomach into the left pleural cavity. Immediately, thoracotomy was performed and closed the ruptured diaphragm after reduction of the herniated stomach, omentum, transverse colon, spleen and small intestine. The size of the diaphragmatic aperture were measured 17cm. in first case and 12cm. in the other respectively. Both cases discharged after uneventful recovery.

A 10-year-old castrated male Siba dog was presented for signs referable to pleural effusion associated with neoplasm of the thoracic cavity. The pleural effusion fluid consisted of blood and tumor cells by thoracocentesis. Histopathological examination of the sedimentary tumor cells revealed malignant mesothelioma. Intracavitary carboplatin was administered at 300 mg/$m^2$ every 5 weeks for 3 treatment and pleural effusion was disappeared after 3 treatments. The dog had recurrence of pleural effusion at 515 days but intracavitary carboplatin chemotherapy had no effect. It would be thought that the intracavitary carboplatin treatment was quite a useful method to control a canine malignant mesothelioma with minimal toxicity.

만성 췌장질환에 의한 흉막삼출은 췌장염 증상없이 대량으로 발생하기도 한다. 이런 경우 흉막액내 아밀라제의 현저한 증가는 췌장질환의 발견에 도움이 되며 대부분 보존적 췌장염 치료로 호전된다. 저자들은 췌장염 증상없이 흉막저류가 발생한 환자에서 흉막액내 아밀라제 증가를 발견하여 복부 및 흉부 전산화 단층촬영으로 췌장가낭종과 췌장-흉막루를 진단하고 보존적 치료로 호전되었기에 보고하는 바이다.

1년령 수컷 비글견이 심한 호흡곤란, 청색증, 식욕감소로 내원하였다. 외상의 병력은 없었으며, 내원 5일전에 Pseudomonas aeruginosa와 E. coli로 인한 세균성 폐렴의 진단을 받았다. 제한적인 호흡 양상을 보여 즉각적으로 산소를 투여하고 방사선검사를 실시하였다. 배복 촬영상에서 우측 흉강에 공기가 차 있었고, 우측 폐엽의 허탈, 종격, 심장과 대혈관의 좌방 변위가 관찰되었다. 외측상에서는 심첨이 흉골로부터 떨어져 있는 것이 관찰되었다. 이상의 결과로 세균성 폐렴으로 인한 속발성 자발 기흉으로 진단하고, 우측 흉강에 흉강 튜브를 삽관하였다. 삽관 3일후에 방사선 배복 촬영상에서, 우측 흉강의 공기는 제거되었으나 좌측 흉강에 기흉이 발생하여 심장이 우방변위된 것이 확인되었다. 따라서, 흉강튜브를 좌측 흉강에도 삽관하였다. 기흉이 완전히 회복되기까지, 우측 흉강 튜브는 5일간, 좌측 흉강튜브는 45일간 유지하였다. 추가로 세균성 폐렴의 치료와 튜브로 인한 역행성 감염을 방지하기 위해 항생제와 비타민 E를 처치하였다. 결과적으로, 환자는 완전히 회복되었고, 2년동안의 관찰기간 동안 재발증상 없이 정상 생활을 유지하였다.

A Clinical analysis of 59 patients of thoracic empyema was done who were received surgical intervention at dept. of thoracic surgery of the C.A.F.G.H. in the period of 2.5 years from January 1979 to June 1982. Occurrence ratio of Left and Right side pleural cavity of empyema was 1: 1.4. The predisposing factors of empyema were pulmonary Tbc. [49%], Chest pain [25%], Cough [8%], in order. B.P.F. was associated with empyema in 5 cases. The pleural cavity empyema was treated with several surgical procedures and conservative measures. Among of the 59 cases, the 30 cases [50%] were treated with decortication, 12 cases [20%] with closed thoractomy drainage, 9 cases with frequent thoracenteses, 5 cases with partial decortication and thoracoplasty and 3 cases with open thoracostomy tube drainage. Among of the 59 cases thoracic empyema, the full recovery were in 32 cases [54%], partial recovery in 20 cases [34%], not improved in 3 cases [5%] and 3 cases were died. The mortality rate was 5% and the recovery rate was 89%.
