Leiomyoma is the most common benign tumor of the esophagus,and surgical enucleation is the treatment of choice. Recently we successfully performed thoracoscopic enucleation of large esophageal leiomyoma without complication in one patient. The 46 years old male patient complained epigastric discomfort and showed a submucosal mass in lower esophagus under the endoscopic ultrasonography . During operation minimal perforation occurred, it was closed with clipping without conversion to an open procedure.The tumor size was 8cm x 3cm x 1.5cm respectively. There were less post-operative pain,minimal wound size, and early recovery time.Patient was satisfactory these outcome. These result suggest that esophageal enucleation was performed more large size benign tumor and esophageal perforation during operation was treated thoracoscopically.

Asthma is characterized by a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways that leads to tissue injury and subsequent structural changes collectively called airway remodelling. Characteristic changes of airway remodelling in asthma include goblet cell hyperplasia, deposition of collagens in the basement membrane, increased number and size of microvessels, hypertrophy and hyperplasia of airway smooth muscle, and hypertrophy of submucosal glands. Apart from inflammatory cells, such as eosinophils, activated T cells, mast cells and macrophages, structural tissue cells such as epithelial cells, fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells can also play an important effector role through the release of a variety of mediators, cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors. Through a variety of inflammatory mediators, epithelial and mesenchymal cells cause persistence of the inflammatory infiltrate and induce airway structural remodelling. The end result of chronic airway inflammation and remodelling is an increased thickness of the airway wall, leading to a increased the bronchial hyperresponsiveness and fixed declined lung function.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma arising from the submucosal glands of the trachea and bronchial tree is rare. The histopathology and natural history of bronchial adenoid cystic carcinoma have been well documented, but detailed descriptions of its cytomorphology are few. We report a case of primary bronchial adenoid cystic carcinoma in a 20-year-old female, diagnosed by bronchial brushing cytology. The cytologic specimens showed large clusters of small cells arranged around cystlike spaces containing globular basophilic material.

We have studied Meckel's diverticulum(MD) of the duck(Anas platyrhynchos platyrhyncos, Linne) by histological and immunohistochemical methods. Because MD were first observed in 2 weeks after hatching, tissues were taken from 2 weeks to 32 weeks after hatching groups. MD were observed as like any parts of intestinal tract that composed with simple columnar epithelium and numerous mucosal gland especially, cecum except that many lymphocytes were exist in this study. Also a number of bovine chromogranin(BCG)-, serotonin, and somatostatin(SOM)-immunoreactive cells were observed in epithelium and submucosal gland in this study, so it could be suggest that the MD of the duck serve as some digestive and lymphatic functions.

Hirschsprung's disease is one of the most common causes of intestinal obstruction in neonates and infants. The underlying pathology of this disease is the absence of the ganglion cells in both the myenteric (Auerbach's) plexus and the submucosal (Meissner's) plexus. Since Hirschsprung's report in 1886, there have been thousands of papers on Hirschsprung's disease but the cause of the absence of the ganglion cells has not been identified. Hirschsprung's disease can be successfully treated with the Swenson, the Duhamel, and the Soave operations even though the pathogenesis is unknown. With the recent progress of molecular biology and genetics, a more detailed approach to the pathogenesis of Hirschsprung's disease can be undertaken. In addition, there have been recent developments in the surgical approach. In this review, recent advances in surgery for Hirschsprung's disease are presented.

59세 여자 환자가 무증상으로 우연히 발견된 후종격동 종괴를 주소로 내원하였다. 수술 전 시행한 식도조영술, 식도내시경 및 식도내시경적 초음파검사로 거대한 식도점막하 종양으로 식도근종이 의심되었다. 우측 흉강을 통해 흉강경수술을 시행하였는데, 종격동 흉막과 식도근육을 종절개한 후 종양을 적출하였다. 수술 후 시행한 식도조영검사에서 식도의 협착 및 누출소견은 없었으며 술 후 7일째에 합병증 없이 퇴원하였다.

식도의 양성종양은 드물며 그 중에서도 신경집종은 매우 드물다. 2년 동안 서서히 진행하는 삼킴 곤란을 주소로 64세 남자가 방문하였다. 내시경과 흉부전산단층촬영에서 큰 점막하 종양이 관찰되었다. 수술시야에서 종양은 매우 단단했으며 주위조직과의 유착이 견고하였다. 식도절제술 및 식도위연결술을 시행하였다.

A 56 years old woman referred to our hospital with dysphagia and epigastric soreness. Gastroendoscopy revealed huge submucosal tumor with ulceration extending from distal esophagus to lesser curvature of stomach. Subsequent computed tomography(CT) demonstrated soft tissue mass encircling distal esophagus, and 18F-FDG PET/CT demonstrated intense $^{18}F-FDG$ accumulation in it. Finally this case was diagnosed as esophageal leiomyoma based on pathologic evaluation of the surgical specimen.
