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.

Primary epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma (EMC) of the lung is an extremely rare neoplasm that originates from submucosal bronchial glands and has been found in the salivary glands, breast tissue, and sweat glands. However, only a few cases in the respiratory tract have been identified. In the literature, most pulmonary EMCs have been reported to have developed endobronchially although a few EMC cases have been presented as intraparenchymatous tumors. We have identified a case of primary EMC that developed in the peripheral lung parenchyma.

Localized amyloidosis of the ureter is rare and clinically confused with neoplasm. We describe a case of localized amyloidosis of the ureter in which the presence of amyloid was detected in ureteral washing cytology. A 75-year-old female presented with gross hematuria. Abdominal CT and retrograde pyelography revealed hydronephrosis and hydroureter on the left side with abrupt narrowing of the distal ureter. Ureteral washing cytology yielded a hypocellular smear with many irregular clumps of amorphous, extracellar, waxy material. Biopsy sections demonstrated submucosal deposits of eosinophilic amorphous material which gave characteristic apple green birefringence with Congo-red stain under the polarized light. Familarity with the cytologic features of amyloid is helpful for preoperative diagnosis and proper treatment.

Osteochondroma, known as osteocartilaginous exostosis, is most common benign bone tumor. The pyriform sinus are extremely rare involved, and there are a few cases reported. Most patients complain of foreign body sensation, and histologic diagnosis can confirm the disease. Treatment is by surgical excision. This should give complete resolution and there were rare recurrences with good prognosis. We experienced a osteochondroma of the priform sinus presenting as a submucosal mass. We report the case with a review of literatures.

Gastric lipomatosis is an extremely rare condition. We present a case of a 69-year-old woman admitted with epigastric soreness. Computerized tomography (CT) revealed extrinsically compressing, fat-containing mass lesions on the entire gastric wall of the antrum and body except for the lesser curvature. A subtotal gastrectomy was performed. Pathology findings confirmed a gastric lipomatosis with multiple gastric ulcerations and extensive disruptions of the muscular layers. This case and reports of other gastric lipomatosis cases indicate that CT should be used to characterize large submucosal masses because CT can show the specific nature and extent of the disease. We believe that surgical treatment is the most appropriate treatment for symptomatic gastric lipomatosis that shows extensive gastric involvement, or when there are multiple gastric lipomas.

폐에 발생하는 점액표피양 암종은 기관 및 기관지 점막하선에서 발생하는 드문 악성종양이다. 저자들은 좌측 주기관지와 우측중간 기관지에 발생한 점액표피양 암종을 각각 수상절제술 및 폐엽절제술로 치료하였다. 수술 후 별 합병증 없이 각각 3년, 18개월간 추적관찰중이다.

내시경 초음파검사는 식도벽의 조직학적 층구조를 가장 유사하게 반영하는 검사법으로 식도 병변의 진단과 치료전략에 필수검사이다. 표재성 식도암에서 고주파 미세탐촉자를 이용한 EUS는 내시경 절제 같은 국소치료가 가능한 환자들을 선별하는 데 중요한 역할을 한다.

Surgeons recommend dissecting lymph nodes in the thorax, abdomen, and neck during surgery for esophageal cancer because of the possibility of metastasis to the lymph nodes in those areas through the lymphatic plexus of the esophageal submucosal layer. Extensive lymph node dissection is essential for accurate staging and is thought to improve survival. However, it can result in several complications, including chyle leakage, which refers to continuous lymphatic fluid leakage and can occur in the thorax, abdomen, and neck. Malnutrition, fluid imbalance, and immune compromise may result from chyle leakage, which can be potentially life-threatening if it persists. Therefore, various treatment methods, including conservative treatment, pharmacological treatment such as octreotide infusion, and interventions such as thoracic duct embolization and surgical thoracic duct ligation, have been applied. In this article, the risk factors, diagnosis, and treatment methods of chyle leakage after esophagectomy are reviewed.
