과민성 폐장염은 원인 물질들이 호흡기로 반복적으로 흡입되어 이들 감작된 항원에 의한 면역학적 반응이 일어나 폐실질에 염증성 또는 육아종성 병변이 초래되는 면역학적 염증 질환이다. 저자들은 호흡 곤란을 주소로 내원한 남자 환자에서, 주거지의 실내 벽지에 기생한 진균인 Alternaria가 원인으로 추정된 과민성 폐장염 1예를 경험하였기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Objectives : In this study, patients with tic disorders who visited an Oriental medicine clinic were examined for their demographic characteristics, characteristics of symptoms, relation to Attention-deficit Hyperactivity Disorder(ADHD) and peculiarity according to various variables such as motor and vocal tics. Methods : After surveying 292 patients who visited an Oriental medicine clinic with tic symptoms as main complaints for 17 months, SAS 9.1, a statistical program was used for statistical analysis. Results : 1. The BMI of male tic patients was significantly higher than female ones and it was similar to or higher than the normal group. 2. Patients who are eldest children were 1.7 times higher than those who are not eldest ones. 3. The most usual case of motor tics was the eye blink and the most one of vocal tics was a dry cough. 4. There was no significant difference between male and female patients for all symptoms of motor and vocal tics, but male patients had significantly more obsessions related to tics than female ones. 5. There was no significant difference in the age of initial occurrence of Transient tic disorder(TTD), Chronic tic disoder(CTD) and Tourette's disorder(TD). 6. For the general disorder of a tic and Conners' ADHD rating scale, there was no significance in TTD, CTD and TD. 7. 66% out of the total subjects of 197 cases were found to score more than 65 points in more than 1 items among 8 items such as the time, hearing, wrong alarm, mean response time and standard deviation in the response time, etc. of the ADHD diagnosis system(ADS). 8. The eye blink among motor tics was shown mainly by patients under 10 years old and the frown, movement of the head, shrug and movement of the arms were shown mainly by 11-19 years old patients. Conclusions : For the number, frequency, seriousness and inconvenience in life of tics, TD showed a significantly higher result than TTD and CTD.

Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare disease in children characterized by intra-alveolar accumulation of surfactant proteins, which severely reduces gaseous exchange. Whole lung lavage (WLL) is the preferred technique for the treatment of severe PAP. Herein, we present a pediatric case of PAP treated with WLL. An 11-year-old boy was admitted with the chief complaint of a dry cough lasting 6 months. He developed symptoms of dyspnea on exertion and had difficulty in climbing stairs. He was ultimately diagnosed with PAP through video-assisted thoracoscopic lung biopsy. As first-line of treatment for PAP, he underwent therapeutic WLL for each of his lungs on separate days. After a brief recovery, his symptoms gradually worsened; therefore, he underwent a second WLL. This is the first pediatric case of PAP relapse despite successful WLL in Korea.

Pulmonary sequestration is a congenital malformation characterized by an area of embryonic lung tissue that derives its blood supply from an anomalous systemic artery. Two forms recognized: extralobar and intralobar. Extralobar form is a very rare congenital malformation, usually located in the lower chest, and may be found in newborn infants at the time a congenital diaphragmatic hernia is repaired. Large sequestrated segments may be cause acute respiratory distress in the neonate. The condition is asymptomatic in 15 per cent of patients. This report presents two cases of pulmonary sequestration which misdiagnosed a superior mediastinal tumor and a benign lung tumor. First case was 30-year-old male patient and chief complaints were dyspnea, dry cough and right chest pain. Chest X-ray showed a homogenous increased density of smooth margin at the right superior mediastinal area and suggested a benign mediastinal tumor. And so explothoracotomy was made without other special studies. Second case was 28-year-old male patient. One month ago, he had tracheostomy and right closed thoracostomy due to massive hemoptysis and spontaneous hemothorax. Chest X-ray showed a benign cystic lesion at RLL area. At the time of operation, in first case, a mass of adult fist size was placed medial to the right upper lobe and densely adhesive to trachea, SVC and esophagus. Blood supply of the mass was bronchial arteries of trachea and RUL bronchus and drained to SVC and azygos vein through anomalous systemic veins. There was no bronchial communication on Frozen biopsy. In 2nd case, large cystic lesion contained old blood hematoma was located in RLL and anomalous blood vessel from thoracic aorta was drained to posterior segment of RLL. In operation field, intralobar pulmonary sequestration was diagnosed, and RLL lobectomy was carried out.

폐에 발생하는 원발성 악성 흑색종은 극히 드물다. 46세 여자가 2개월간의 마른기침과 혈담을 주소로 내원하였다. 컴퓨터단층촬영 상 우측 폐하엽에 4.5$\times$5.0 cm 크기의 종괴가 관찰되어 기관지내시경 하 및 경피적 폐생검술을 반복 시행하였으나 정확한 진단이 되지 않았다. 악성 종양을 의심하고 시행한 술 전 검사에서는 전이 소견이 없어 수술적 접근을 하였다. 우하엽 폐절제술과 임파절 박리를 시행하였으며 종양과 임파절 모두 원발성 악성 흑색종으로 진단되었다. 술 후 40일째 우측 반부전마비가 있어 촬영한 뇌자기공명 영상상 좌측 두정부에 전이 소견이 있어 종양제거술을 시행하였으나 술 후 8개월째 사망하였다.

염증성 장질환 환자에서 폐주변부에 발생하는 진행성 폐침윤과 기침, 발열, 호흡곤란 등의 호흡기계 증상, 말초혈액내 호산구중다중의 발현, 다른 호산구중다중을 유발할 만한 약제나 기생충 감염 등의 원인이 없는 경우에 메살라진이나 설파살라진에 의한 호산구성 폐렴의 가능성율 생각하고, 약제 투여 중단과 스테로이드 사용을 고려해야 하며, 기관지경을 통한 기관지 폐포액에서 호산구 증가와 lymphocyte stimulation test, 폐생검올 통해 진단할 수 있다. 저자들은 궤양성 대장염 환자에서 부작용이 적다고 알려진 메살라진에 의한 호산구성 폐렴 1례를 경험하였기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Androgen deprivation therapy, which is the standard treatment for metastatic prostate cancer, includes nonsteroidal antiandrogenic drugs, such as flutamide, nilutamide and bicalutamide. Of them, bicalutamide rarely induces interstitial pneumonia. We report a case of bicalutamide-induced interstitial pneumonia. A 68-year old male diagnosed with prostate cancer and multiple bone metastases presented with dry cough and low grade fever for 3 days. He had taken bicalutamide (50 mg/day) for 13 months. High resolution computed tomography revealed ground glass opacity in his right upper lung. The laboratory studies showed no eosinophilia in the serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. Despite the use of antimicrobial agents for 2 weeks, the extent of the lung lesions increased to the left upper and right lower lung. He had no environmental exposure, collagen vascular disease and microbiological causes. Under the suspicion of bicalutamide-induced interstitial pneumonia, bicalutamide was stopped and prednisolone (1 mg/kg/ day) was initiated. The symptoms and radiologic abnormalities were resolved with residual minimal fibrosis.

Five dogs at the age of 2-13 years, with variant respiratory signs like as dry cough, dyspnea, exercise intorelance and lameness were presented. On thoracic radiographs, all dogs had abnormalities such as soft tissue density, round mass image, increased pulmonary infiltration and pleural effusion. All dogs were diagnosed as adenocarcinoma on cytopathologic examinations by fine needle aspiration with ultrasound guidance. Computed tomography was performed in three cases to evaluate clinical stage. Primary papillary adenocarcinoma was confirmed after necropsy in one case.

간세포암에 이환된 61세 남자에서 lipiodol과 doxorubicin을 이용하여 간동맥 항암 화학 색전술을 시행하였고 3일 후 급성 호흡 부전증이 발병하였으며 임상 양상 및 방사선학적 소견상 급성 폐부종 및 폐렴에 의한 급성 폐손상에 합당하였다. 감염, 혈전 및 종괴에 의한 폐색전증, 울혈성 심부전에 의한 급성 호흡 부전증의 가능성을 배제하기 위하여 혈액, 객담 배양 검사를 시행하였으나 균주는 동정되지 않았고 복부 전산화 단층 촬영, 복부 핵자기 공명 영상, 심 초음파 등을 시행하였으나 심장이나 하대 정맥에서 종괴나 혈전을 발견할 수 없었으며 심기능은 정상이었다. 상기 소견으로 본 환자의 급성 호홉 부전증의 원인으로서 lipiodol에 의한 폐 지방전색증을 추정하게 되었다. 환자는 보전적 요법을 시행받고 증상 발현 4주 후 임상증상 및 흉부 단순 촬영상 호전을 보여 퇴원하였다. 저자 등은 lipiodol과 doxorubicin을 이용하여 간세포암의 화학색전술을 시행 후 lipiodol에 의한 폐지방 색전증이 원인인 급성 폐손상이 발생한 종례를 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
