  1. Management of Centrally Located Indeterminate Lung Mass

  2. Definition of Centrally Located Indeterminate Lung Mass(CILM) Lung mass located in inner 2/3 of lung field • Radiologically • - highly suspicious of malignancy • Pathologically(bronchoscopy and PCNA) • - undiagnosed • - hard to approach by thoracoscopy

  3. Patients and Methods • Retrospective study of 24 pts out of 117 pts indeterminate lung mass • Period : July 1995 ~ February 2002 • Age : 36 ~ 68 years(mean 57.7 years) • Male : 18 pts, Female : 4 pts

  4. Diagnostic Procedures 1. Computed tomography in all patients 2. Bronchoscopy : - Bronchial washing cytology : all patients - Transbronchial lung biopsy : 1 pt - Endobronchial biopsy : 5 pts 3. Percutaneous Needle Aspiration Biopsy(PCNA) : 13 pts Undiagnosed & hard to approach by VATS Thoracotomy • Lobectomy : 15 • Segmentectomy : 1 • Wedge resection : 8 • LN enlargement on CT : 4 pts - Mediastinoscopy and Thoracotomy were performed

  5. Pathologic Results • Malignancy 1 (4.2%) • Benign 23 • Tbc. granuloma 9 • Hamartoma 6 • Organizing pneumonia 5 • Others 3

  6. Conclusions • Malignancy should be ruled out in CILM, but, the incidence of pathological malignancy was low in many cases of highly suspicious of malignancy on CT findings. • The incidence of tuberculosis is high in this country, therefore “Wait & Watch” policy can be one of the options in management of CILM. • CILM still requires more strict CT criteria, close periodic follow-up and other diagnostic modailties such as PET.
