Although the prognosis of lymphoma is favorable, the clinical features, prognostic factors and management have not been clearly defined. Material and Method: We retrospectively reviewed the records of 8 patients we managed between 1994 and 2006. They all had malignant lymphoma on the pathologic examination of the lung with no evidence of mediastinal adenopathy and extrathoracic disease, and no past history of lymphoma. Result: The study group consisted of 3 males and 5 female patients with a mean age of 53.9 years. Three patients were asymtomatic and 5 patients were seen with pulmonary or systemic symptoms. The diagnostic methods were 3 CT needle aspiration biopsies, 1 bronchoscopic biopsy and 4 surgical methods (wedge resection, lobectomy). There were 3 patients with MALT lymphoma, two with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, two with small lymphocytic lymphom, and one with follicular lymphoma. The 8 patients were treated with a variety of modalities, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and combination therapy. The 8 patients have survived for a median follow-up of 38 months. Conclusion: Although this entity of lymphoma appears to have a good prognosis, further clinical experience and long-term follow-up are needed to identify its clinical features, prognostic factors and management.

Immunohistochemical stain for CD20 shows cytoplasmic staining pattern in most of lymphocytes which infiltrate the submucosa and bronchial mucosa. 조직검사를시행하여 MALT림프종으로나온환자로이후치료없이외래추적관찰로만지내고있는데별다른증상이나타나지않고있는상태다 (Table 3). 8명중 3명은점막관련림프종 (MALT lymphoma, Fig. 1) 이었으며 2명은큰B세포림프종 (diffuse large B cell lymphoma, Fig. 2), 2명은소림프구림프종 (small lymphocytic lymphoma, Fig. 3) 이었고 1명은여포성림프종 (follicular lymphoma, Fig. 4) 이었다 (Table 3). 이중원발성으로폐에서여포성림프종이발견된것은아주드문경우로면역조직화학검사뿐만아니라분자생물학적검사를시행하여확진할수있었다. 8명의환자들은여러다양한치료를받았는데외래에 서추적관찰만하며지켜보는경우도있고, 수술이나항암화학치료, 방사선치료를단독혹은병합하여치료를일부는받았고일부는받고있는중이다. 8명모두현재생활에별다른불편함없이생존해있으며평균추적관찰기간은 38개월이었다. 정확한진단기법이나타나기전까지 lymphoma는 reactive lymphoid proliferation disease (pseudolymphoma, lymphoid interstitial pneumonitis, lymphomatoid granulomatosis, follicular bronchiolitis) 와병리적으로형태구별이어렵기때문에진단에혼돈이왔던경우가많았던걸로생각된다 [3]. 본병원에서도 2004년이후부터필요할경우면역조직화학검사나분자생물학적검사를사용하여정확한진 437

Microscopic finding of small lymphocytic lymphoma (H&E stain, 400). 단과치료를하고있는바대부분의환자가 3년내에발견되어현재모두생존해있는상태다. 고 원발성폐림프종은폐에정상적으로분포하는기관지주위림프조직 (bronchial-associated lymphoid tissue, BALT) 과폐실질내간질의림프조직, 폐내림프절과같은림프조직의어디에서나발생할수있으며과거에는대부분 B-세포림프종으로만진단하였다. 1973년처음으로폐에 찰 Fig. 4. Microscopic finding of follicular lymphoma (H&E stain 200). Closely packed follicles are noted. The neoplastic follicles focally shows an almost back-to-back pattern. 서의 MALT의존재가알려진후대부분의학자들은 MALT (mucosa associated lymphoid tissue) 가폐의정상적인조직이아니라후천적으로흡연이나자가면역질환, 만성감염과같은발암자극에장기간노출됨으로써이차적으로나타나는것으로믿고있다 [4]. 조직학적악성도는 NCI (National Cancer Institute) 분류에의해저도, 중등도, 고도의세포형태로분류하면서폐악성림프종의경우비교적경한임상증상과악성도가낮은조직소견, 양호한예후등으로인해가성림프종 (pseudolymphoma) 이라는용어로기술되었으므로정확한발생빈도를예측할수없다 [5]. 1994년에개정된 REAL분류법 ( Revised European-American Classification of Lymphoid Neoplasm classification, 1994) 에서는이런것을점막림프조직에서유래한악성도가낮은 B세포악성림프종 (low grade B cell malignant lymphoma), 즉 MALT 종양으로보는경향이있는데 [6] 원발성악성폐림프종은기관지점막의특수한림프조직으로부터유래된이 MALT 림프종의범주에있다고볼수있다 [5]. 1997년 REAL분류를수정한 WHO분류에서는이것을림프절외변연부 B세포림프종 (extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of mucosa associated lymphoid tissue, MALT lymphoma) 이라고하였는데폐림프종중가장많은부분을차지하고있다 [7]. 본연구에서도 MALT lymphoma가 3명으로 37.5% 정도를차지하여가장많았다. 그외 diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, small lymphocytic lymphoma, anaplastic lage cell lymphoma, small lymphocytic lymphoma가발견되고있는 438
김재범외원발성폐림프종의임상고찰 데, 면역조직화학및분자생물학적기법의발달로폐에원발성으로발생한저급의악성림프종을정확히진단내릴수있게되었다 [8]. 고악성도의림프종은매우드물며대부분저급의 MALT 림프종이변형된것이다. T-세포림프종, NK세포림프종, 호즈킨림프종도발생할수있으나매우드물다 [9]. 원발성폐림프종은임상증상에서무증상으로나타나는경우가많으며특히 MALT lymphoma에서두드러지게나타난다. 그외전신증상이나호흡기증상을주소로내원하게되며다른림프종에비해 B-symptom은적게나타나는편으로알려져있는데 [10], 본연구에서도열이나서내원한환자는 1명만발견되었다. 방사선검사에서원발성폐림프종이나타내는소견은작은혹이나종괴가단독혹은여러개가나타나거나경계가불분명한폐침윤소견이나타나는등여러다양한모양을나타내기때문에어떤특별한모양이나타났을때이것을원발성폐림프종이라고지칭하기는어렵다. 이것으로생각해볼때방사선검사상어떤이상소견이나오더라도림프종의가능성을가지고있다고할수있다 [10]. 대부분의원발성폐림프종에서진단을위해수술적시도가요구된다. 많은수의환자에서기관지경이시도되나진단이잘되지않는이유는내강 (endoluminal) 병소가별로없기때문이다. 원발성폐림프종에서수술의역할은절제가가능할경우에는진단을위해충분한조직을얻고또한치료를위해완전절제를하는것이좋다. 그러나절제가불가능하거나양쪽폐에병소가있는경우에는진단을위해충분한조직을얻으려고수술을시행하게된다. 이런환자에서제한적절제술을시행한이후에동결절편검사에서림프종으로나온경우에는병기결정을위해폐문주위와종격동주위의림프절을절제하는것이필요하다 [11]. 비록치료방법은수술이나방사선치료, 항암화학요법의단독혹은병합요법과같이여러방법이있으나표준화된치료방식은아직없다 [2]. 증상이없는 MALT림프종의경우는아주서서히진행하는관계로추적관찰만하는것으로도훌륭한치료방법이될수있다는보고도있다 [12]. 증상을가지고있는 MALT림프종의경우에는 1가지제제의항암화학요법으로도치료가가능하다고알려져있다. 보통 chlorambucil을사용하거나 CVP병합요법 (cyclophosphamide, vincristine, prednisolone) 을사용한다. 이런경우수술적치료의역할은명쾌히규명되어있지 않다 [2,4,12]. 국한된원발성폐림프종 (stage I E or stage II E) 은방사선치료나수술적절제단독으로도완치가가능하나, 수술적절제후에도종양이남아있거나국소재발률이높아비교적예후가불량한비MALT림프종의경우에는추가적인항암요법이나방사선요법이필요하다 [13-15]. 치료후재발률은 50% 정도로매우높게나타난다고알려져있다 [15]. 따라서일부저자는전폐절제술을포함한광범위절제술을추천하기도하였으나 [16] 절제범위정도는생존율을포함한예후에별다른영향을미치지않는다 [11] 고하기도하여아직논란의여지가남아있다. 본연구에서도비록증례가적기는하나절제정도와생존율에서는별다른연관관계를찾을수없었다. Koss 등은주변부림프절전이가나쁜예후를나타내는것은아니라고하였다 [17]. 또한림프종의조직형태에따라생존율에차이가나타나는것은아니라는보고도있다 [11,18]. 그러나다른조직형태와는달리 MALT 림프종은서서히진행하며예후가좋은것으로공통적으로보고되고있다 [11,15,17,18]. 결 원발성폐림프종은매우드문질환으로비특이적인임상증상과방사선소견을보인다. 수술적진단방법이진단과치료에보다더좋은결과를기대할수있으며정확한조직형태를알아내는것이치료방법결정에도움을줄수있다. 림프종은좋은예후를가지고있으나본연구에서는증례가적고추적관찰기간이짦은관계로목표로한예후요소나치료방향설정을제시하기에는어려울걸로생각된다. 좀더긴추적관찰과더많은임상경험이있어야더정확한결과를산출할수있을것으로생각된다. 론 참고문헌 1.
