Abstract

An unusual placentoid bullous lesion of the lung was reported. The patient was a 27-year- old woman with a 1-week history of chest pain and mild dyspnea. Chest radiographic studies showed multiple huge bullae in right upper lobe and variable-sized bullae in middle and lower lobes with collapse. She underwent right pneumonectomy with preoperative impression of bullous lung disease and emphysema. Histopathologically, the most distinctive features were villous structures within bullous airspace, which resembled placetal villi with degeneration.

폐의 태반양 변형은 매우 드문 질환이다. 27세 여자 환자가 7일간의 우측 흉통과 경미한 호흡곤란으로 입원하였다. 흉부X-선촬영 소견상 우폐상엽은 크고 작은 기포에 의하여 전체가 대치되어 있었고 우폐하엽과 중엽은 다양한 크기의 기포와 부분적인 허탈 소견을 보였다. 거대 기포 및 폐기종 진단하에 우폐 전폐절제술을 시행하였으며 조직학적검사 소견상 기포에서 보인 변성을 동반한 태반융모와 흡사한 유두상 구조가 특징적이었다.
