Leiomyoma is extremely rare benign tumor of the trachea. A case of leiomyoma of the trachea is described in a 36-year-old man. The patient had a brief history of asthma-like symptoms. Computed tomography of the chest revealed the ovoid lower trachea mass, which was occupying about 80% of the tracheal lumen. At fiberoptic bronchoscopy highly vascularized round mass was seen on the membranous portion of the lower trachea. The tumor was excised by segmental sleeve resection and end-to-end anastomosis of the trachea was performed. Postoperative course was uneventful and bronchoscopic findings showed clear healing of the anastomotic site.

Myoepithelioma of the trachea is an extremely rare disease. The neoplasm shows histologic features identical to those described in myoepithelioma of salivary glands. The myoepithelioma cells demonstrate the numerous myofilament, desmosomal cellular attachment, cytoplasmic glycogen and pinocytotic vesicles. In immunohistochemical study, myoepithelioma cells show the positive antibody reactions to actin, keratin, vimentin and S-100 protein. A case of myoepithelioma arising from trachea in the seventy-two-year old male diagnosed by microscopic finding and immunohistochemistry is presented.

기관의 양성종양은 드물고 증상과 증후가 비슷하므로 대개 기관지 천식으로 잘못 진단된다. 원발성 신경섬유종은 슈반세포(Schwann cell)에서 기원하며 예후는 좋으나 재발할 수도 있고 악성으로 변할 수도 있기 때문에 기관 분절절제와 단단문합술이 권장되어진다. 최근 기관에 발생한 원발성 신경섬유종을 기관 분절절제와 단단문합술로 성공적으로 치험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Leiomyoma of the trachea is a rare benign tumor. A case of leiomyoma of the thoracic trachea is described in a 46-year-old woman. The patient complained of productive cough, dyspnea and blood-tinged sputum since July 1993. Plain chest radiographs were not helpful, but computed tomography of the chest showed an intraluminal tracheal mass just above the carina. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy revealed a broad based, nodular mass rising from the posterior tracheal wall, just above the carina. The tumor was excised by sleeve resection and end-to-end anastomosis of the trachea was performed. The patient`s postoperative course was uneventful. She was discharged on the 20th postoperative day.

59세 여자환자에서 매우 드문 기관의 소세포암을 치험하였기에 보고한다. 진단은 병리조직학적 소견 및 면역조직화학적 검사로 확진하였고, 외과적 절제후 보조적 항암요법을 한 뒤 호전이 있었으나 술후 6개월째 다발성 전이를 보이면서 사망하였다.

사구종양은 정상 사구체에서 볼 수 있는 특화된 평활근 세포를 닳은 세포로 이루어진 종양으로 손가락의 손톱 아래 부위가 호발 부위이지만, 손바닥, 팔, 다리에도 잘 생기며 이외에도 무릎골, 흉벽, 골, 위, 대장, 신경 등에도 드물게 생긴다. 그러나, 기관에 생긴 사구 종양은 매우 드문데, 저자들은 기관에 생긴 1예의 사구 종양을 경험하였기에 이를 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하고자 한다.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma usually grows in the trachea or near its bifurcation and causes obstruction of the air way. We recently experienced a 33 year-old male patient who had adenoid cystic carcinoma in the left main bronchus with the chief complaint of productive cough. On the bronchoscopy, the mass obstructed the left main bronchus completely and had nodularity and increased vascularity.The trachea was shifted to the left side and the lower lobe of the left lung was atelectatic on chest X-ray and computed axial tomogram.He underwent left tracheal sleeve pneumonectomy and lymph node dissection through bilateral thoracotomy. At first,we attempted left tracheal sleeve pneumonectomy through the left thoracotomy,however, it was very difficult to perform carinoplastic procedure after sleeve resection of 2.5cm of distal trachea and 1cm of proximal right main bronchus including whole left lung because of poor operative field and difficulty in the anastomosis of the right main bronchus to the distal end of the trachea without tension.Therefore after radical resection of the left lung we made right thoracotomy,through which we could anastomosed the distal trachea and right main bronchus with 4-0 PDS interrupted suture after mobilization of the right hilum without difficulty. The tumor was confirmed to be adenoid cystic carcinoma with metastasis to subcarinal lymph node histopathologically. Postoperative course was uneventful but he needed two bronchoscopic procedure to clear distal airway of the retained bronchial secretion. He was discharged at 14 days after operation with complete recovery.

Primary adenoid cystic carcioma of trachea is rare, with an incidence of only 0.2 per 100,000 persons per year. When all series of the tracheal carcinomas are combined, adenoid cystic carcinoma is the second most common tumor only to squamous cell carcinoma in incidence. Most patients have wheezing or stridor, dyspnea, hemoptysis, and cough as symptoms. Treatment options include surgery alone, radiation therapy alone, or a combination of both. The recommended surgical option is primary tracheal resection and reconstruction. Recently, we experienced a case of adenoid cystic carcinoma in 45 year old female patient who was treated tracheal tumor resection and end-to-end anastomosis of the trachea, so we report this case with the literatures.

기관내 지방종은 문헌상 매우 희귀한 종양으로 알려져 있다 본 환자는37세의 건강한 남자로 간질성와 호흡곤란의 증상으로 지난 6개월간 기관지천식의 진단하에 치료받아 오던중,본원에서 흉부전산화 단층촬영과 기관지내시경검사상 흉부기관의 내강에 위치한 구형의 종양이 기관내강의 대부분을 막고 있음을 알고 기관지내시경검사하에 용종제거술루우프를 이용하여 전기소작과 더불어 종양을 완전히 제거하였다 환자는 수술후 3일 째 퇴원하였으며,수술후 1, 6개월에 시행한 기관지내시경상 재발없이 양호한 상태를 유지하고 있다.

Dermoid cysts are benign neoplasm that is derived from both ectoderm and mesoderm. They may be found at various sites of the body, but are extremely rare to occur in the lower neck. We present the case of a 22-year old woman with a midline cystic mass anterior to the cervical trachea. The mass was excised under local anesthesia. Histopathologically the diagnosis was confirmed as a dermoid cyst.
