At the distal portion of the tumor, superficial ulcers with atrophic mucosa are noted (arrows). 분화도를보이는선암으로판명되었으며 (Fig. 5A), 궤양성종괴의원위부상행결장에서육아종이일부관찰되었다. 절제된 42개의국소림프절들중 22개의림프절에서전이된선암이관찰되었으며, 일부림프절에서는건락성육아종과상피양세포들이관찰되어결핵성림프절로판명되었다 (Fig. 5B). 수술후환자는항암화학요법을하며외래로추적관찰중이다. 고 궤양성대장염이나크론병과같은만성염증성장질환이장기간지속된환자에서대장암발생의위험이증가한다는것은비교적잘알려져있지만, 1,2 장결핵은대장암과동반된증례보고들이있었음에도불구하고그인과관계가불분명하다. 3-8 대장암과장결핵이공존할수있는가능성으로는우연히두질환이공존하거나한질환이다른질환을유발했을가능성을고려할수있다. 대장암에의한장관폐쇄가결핵균에의한이차감염을조장할수도있고, 9 암에의한세포면역약화와불완전한점막방어때문에결핵균에쉽게감염될수도있기때문에대장암이장결핵을유발할수있다는가설이있다. 10 Cooper 등 11 은회장결핵과회장암이동반된증례를통해결핵이전암성병변이라고주장하였으며, Dorai 등 9 은장결핵과대장암이구불결장에공존하는증례보고에서회맹부의침범없이구불결장에만장결핵이발생했기때문에대장암의장관폐쇄에의해이차적으로장결핵이발생했을것이라고주장하였다. 하지만, 이번증례와같이대장암의원위부에도장결핵이공존하는경 찰 Figure 5.

차재명외 : 장결핵에동반된대장암 1 예 373 대장암을수술한후혈변이발생하여시행한대장내시경검사에서장결핵을진단한예도있었다. 3 그러므로, 장결핵에대해충분히항결핵제를복용했는데도불구하고임상적으로호전되지않을경우약제내성결핵균외에대장암과같은다른질환의중복을고려해야한다. 장결핵과대장암이다른분절에있었던증례는 4예 3,6,12 에불과한반면, 그외 13예 (76%) 에서는장결핵과대장암이같은분절에서관찰되었으며, 이들중이번증례를포함한 7예에서는대장암에의한장관폐쇄가관찰되었다. 4,7,8,10,14,16 장결핵과대장암이공존하는많은증례들에서대장암에의한장관폐쇄가동반되며두병변들이같은분절에서관찰되었기때문에대장암에의한장관폐쇄가두질환의공존에기여할가능성을고려할수있다. 대장암과장결핵이공존하는경우병리조직학적으로오진을할수있을뿐만아니라, 5,7,15 영상의학적으로장결핵에의한림프절종대를대장암의림프절전이로오인하여수술전에정확한병기판정이어려울수도있다. 4,6 실제로, 수술전에는원격림프절전이가의심되었으나, 수술후원격림프절에서암전이는없고림프절결핵만관찰된증례도있었다. 6 이번증례에서도영상의학검사만으로원격림프절종대에대해대장암의림프절전이유무를구분하기어려워수술을시행하였으며, 수술결과대부분이대장암의림프절전이로판명되었다. 저자들은복통으로내원한 45세여자의상행결장에서대장암과장결핵이중복된 1예를경험하여이를보고하며, 문헌고찰을통하여국내외에서보고된유사한증례들의임상적인특징에대해보고한다. ABSTRT Patients with chronic inflammatory bowel disease have a potential risk for developing colorectal cancer. Simultaneous occurrence of tuberculosis and colon cancer at the same segment of the colon has been reported; however, there is little causal relationship between the two disorders. The occurrence of tuberculosis and an adenocarcinoma at the same segment of the colon may lead to a histological misdiagnosis of either lesion. Furthermore, it may be difficult to determine the correct radiological cancer staging before surgery, as tuberculous lymphadenitis may be misinterpreted as a lymph node metastasis of colon cancer. We report here a rare case of colon cancer coexisting with colonic tuberculosis at the same segment of the colon. In addition, we review the clinical characteristics of reported patients with similar conditions following a computerized search of KoreaMed and PubMed.
