Bronchogenic cysts are uncommon congenital lesions which are derived from primitive foregut. Most of the bronchogenic cysts may occur at the tracheal bifurcation, both main bronchi, the lung parenchyme and the mediastinum. We experienced a case of bronchogenic cyst with a esophageal stalk. The diagnosis was made by simple chest x-ray and confirmed by bronchoscopy and chest CT. On the chest CT findings, 6.8X4.8 cm-sized oval shaped mass was located on the right posteroinferior side of the carina, elevating the right main bronchus and the thin wall of the mass was enhanced with contrast materials. On the operative findings, the esophagus and the cyst were connected with a stalk and the cyst was filled with mucinous materials. And on the histological findings, the mass was lined with pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium. Thus we report this case of bronchogenic cyst with review of literatures.

The esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula occurs approximately once in 3, 000 live births. In Korea, about 20 cases were reported with five successful surgical corrections. The atresia characteristically occurs at the level of, or just cephalad to, the carina and is associated with a tracheoesophageal fistula. In about 90% of the cases, the upper esophagus ends in a blind pouch, and the lower esophageal segment communicates with the trachea through the membranous posterior wall just above the carina. Many of the Infants with esophageal atresia have other congenital anomalies. The most common of these are congenital cardiac anomalies, imperforate anus, genitourinary malformations, and intestinal atresia. Recently we experienced four cases of esophageal atresia, of which three were Gross type C and one was type A. Two of them were treated by primary repair, and one [type A] was taken cervical esophagostomy and gastrostomy. The another was refused surgery.

We have experienced a case of ventricular septal defect due to blunt chest trauma. A 22 year old male patient was admitted due to chest pain after Motor cycle accident on July 1st,1993. On 5th hospital day, sudden onset of dyspnea was noted and auscultation represented newly developed systolic murmur. A cardiac catheterization and Left ventriculogram revealed ruptured septum at the apical portion. Because there was open wound on anterior chest wall and congestive heart failure was medically controlled, the patient was discharged for elective operation. He was readmitted on August 14th, 1993.At operation, ventricular septal defect was found in apico-posterior muscular septal area, about 2.0 x 1.5 cm in size. The defect was repaired by double velour patch with interrupted suture and ventriculotomy was closed with Teflon felt. The patient`s postoperative course was uneventful and discharged 10 days postoperatively without complication. The patient have been followed up~ for 2 months. He is on functional class I with small amount of residual shunt at the ventricular septum.

A three years old male Jackass penguin(Spheniscus demersus) showed anorexia, depression, respiratory problem for a few days, followed by clinical treatment for 20 days resulted in death. Grossly, multiple white nodules measuring 2~3 mm in diameter were observed in the surface of and inside lung, liver, kidney, thoracic wall. Microscopically, granuloma formations were observed in the lung and liver. The margin of granuloma surrounded by connective tissue barrier and infiltrated lymphocytes, and also observed giant cell near the granuloma. By Periodic acid Schiff reaction, hyphae were detected in granuloma of lung and liver. This case was a chronic and systemic aspergillosis caused by Aspergillus fumigatus infection in a Jackass penguin at a zoo.

Pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a congenital vascular disease in which interventional radiologists can play both diagnostic and therapeutic roles in patient management. The diagnosis of pulmonary AVM is simple and can usually be made based on CT images. Endovascular treatment, that is, selective embolization of the pulmonary artery feeding the nidus of the pulmonary AVM, and/or selectively either the nidus or draining vein, has become a first-line treatment with advances in interventional devices. However, some vascular diseases can simulate pulmonary AVMs on CT and pulmonary angiography. This subset can confuse interventional radiologists and referring physicians. Vascular mimickers of pulmonary AVM have not been widely known and described in detail in the literature, although some of these require surgical correction, while others require regular follow-up. This article reviews the clinical and radiologic features of pulmonary AVMs and their mimickers.

The bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital cardiovascular malformation. Patients with BAV are at higher risk of other congenital cardiovascular malformations and valvular dysfunction, including aortic stenosis/regurgitation and infective endocarditis. BAV may also be related to aortic wall abnormalities such as aortic dilatation, aneurysm, and dissection. The morphology of the BAV varies with the presence and position of the raphe and is associated with the type of valvular dysfunction and aortopathy. Therefore, accurate diagnosis and effective treatment at an early stage are essential to prevent complications in patients with BAV. This pictorial essay highlights the characteristics of BAV and its related congenital cardiovascular malformations, valvular dysfunction, aortopathy, and other rare cardiac complications using multimodal imaging.

Purpose: We evaluated the prognostic significance of T3 subtypes and the role of adjuvant radiotherapy in patients with resected the American Joint Committee on Cancer stage IIB T3N0M0 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Materials and Methods: T3N0 NSCLC patients who underwent resection from January 1990 to October 2009 (n = 102) were enrolled and categorized into 6 subgroups according to the extent of invasion: parietal pleura chest wall invasion, mediastinal pleural invasion, diaphragm invasion, separated tumor nodules in the same lobe, endobronchial tumor <2 cm distal to the carina, and tumor-associated collapse. Results: The median overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were 55.3 months and 51.2 months, respectively. In postoperative T3N0M0 patients, the tumor size was a significant prognostic factor for survival (OS, p = 0.035 and DFS, p = 0.035, respectively). Patients with endobronchial tumors within 2 cm of the carina also showed better OS and DFS than those in the other T3 subtypes (p = 0.018 and p = 0.016, respectively). However, adjuvant radiotherapy did not cause any improvement in survival (OS, p = 0.518 and DFS, p = 0.463, respectively). Only patients with mediastinal pleural invasion (n = 25) demonstrated improved OS and DFS after adjuvant radiotherapy (n = 18) (p = 0.012 and p = 0.040, respectively). Conclusion: The T3N0 NSCLC subtype that showed the most favorable prognosis is the one with endobronchial tumors within 2 cm of the carina. Adjuvant radiotherapy is not effective in improving survival outcome in resected T3N0 NSCLC.

최근 들어서면서 유방에 대한 수술이 종류가 확대술 축소술 재건술로 대별되고 다양해지면서 이에 따른 원치 않은 수술성과에 대한 분쟁이 증가상태에 있으며, 이로 인한 배보상 문제가 최종적으로 대두되면서, '원치 않은 수술성과'를 '수술 후의 문제점' 보다는 "장애'로 보는 관점이 증가되면서, 신체장애 평가에서 유방의 흉부 장기 해당 여부에 따른 노동력상실률이 직접적으로 거론되기에 이에 대한 견해를 발표하고자 한다. 이를 위해, 법령에서 나오는 용어의 사전적 정의 및 의학적 제반 사항을 살펴보았다. 흉부 장기에 유방 포함 여부의 혼란은 용어 선정 후 그 해석이 시대 변화와 맞물려 유발된 것으로 생각된다. 법령에서의 자구 해석을 살펴보면, 유방은 흉부 장기에 해당되지 못함으로 규정된 것으로 사료되며, 수유장애는 낮은 출산율과 실제로 모유수유하는 경우가 현저하게 줄어들고 있는 상황에서 다수의 의견이라고 주장 강조함이 약화되고 있으며, 모유수유를 노동으로 볼 수 있는 유모로서의 직업도 현재 존재하는지 조차 모르는 실정이다. 이런 이유로, 유방을 흉복부 장기 해당 여부에 대한 논란을 잠재우기 위해서, 포함시키려면, (1) 법령집의 용어를 교체하거나(흉복부 장기에서 (ㄱ) 흉복부를 '흉복부 및 흉복강'으로 그리고 (ㄴ) 장기를 '장기 및 기관'으로), (2) 여러 법령에서 용어 변경은 어렵기 때문에, "산업재해보상보험법 시행규칙 [별표 제5호] 신체부위별 장해등급 판정에 관한 세부기준(제48조 관련)"에 유방을 예외적으로 포함시키면 될 것이라고 생각해 본다. 그러나 피부부속기관인 유방을 흉복부 기관 혹은 예외적으로 포함시키면, 당연히 다른 피부부속기관도 포함시켜야 하는 모순관계가 도출되는 문제가 있다고 사료된다. 반면 완전히 배제시키려면, (1) '흉복부'를 '흉복강'으로 하거나, (2) "유방은 제외된다"라는 단서 조항만 삽입하면 될 것이라고 생각해 본다. 법 앞에 만인이 평등하다 하지만 만인 앞에 법이 평등하기 위해서는, 즉 새로운 해석과 판결을 위해서는 사회적인 합의가 있어야 할 것으로 생각된다.

We have experienced 2 cases of the hunshot wound sof the chest involving cardiac injuries at department of the thoracic surgery, Capital Armed Forces General Hospital during I year from April I 1979 to Jan. 1980. In one case of two patients , he was a 22 years old man who was transported to this emergency room 4 hour 10 minutes after having gunshot wound of the left chest by helicopter. Physical examination showed small inlet in left 3rd ICS and left parasternal border, large outlet in left 8th ICS and left scapular line, no breath sound on left side and distant heart sound. chest roentgenography demonstrated marked pleural effusion in left side and mediastinum shifted to right. As soon as chest X-ray was taken, the bleeding through penetrating wound became profuse and cardiac arrest ensued. Closed chest cardiac massage was started and vigorous transfusion continued, but no effective cardiac activity could not be obtained. The patient was pronounced dead due to exsanguinating hemorrhage from wuwpected cardiac wounds. In this critically injured patient with evidence of intrathoracic hemorrhage and suspected cardiac penetration, only emergency thoracic exploration and immediate surgical control of bleeding points might offer the maximum possibility of survival. The other case was a 23 years old man who was transferred to the emergency room 4 hours 50 minutes after having kmultiple communicated fractures of sternum and linear fracture of right mandible by a missile. Examination revealed about 30% skin loss of the anterior chest wall, weak pulse of 96 beats/min., distant heart sound and decreased breath sounds bilaterally. finding on the chest X-ray films showed multiple sternal fractures, marked pericardial effusion indicating hemopericardium. So, the patient was moved immediately to the operation room where, after endotracheal tube inserted, a median sternotomy was performced. A hemorrhagic congestion of the right upper lobe and marked bulging pericardium were disclosed. The pericardium was opened anterior to right phrenic nerve and exsanguinating hemorrhage ensued from the 0.5cm lacerated wound in the auricle of right atrium. The rupture site of right atrium was occluded with non-crushing vascular clamps and then was over sewn with interrupted sutures. It was thought to be highly possible that he was alive long enough to have cardiorrhaphy because of cardiac tamponade, which prevented exsanguinating hemorrhage. He was taken closed reduction for linear fracture of right mandible 2 weeks after repair of ruptured right auricle in dental clinic. This patient's post-operative course was not eventful.
