OBJECTIVE: To analyze the diagnostic profiles and treatment outcomes of @entity1 with @entity46 at a university hospital. METHODS: A retrospective review of medical records was performed for @entity1 diagnosed with @entity46 at Gangnam Severance Hospital, Yonsei University College of Medicine, between January 2007 and January 2014. RESULTS: Fifteen @entity1 (median age, 35 years; range, 23-48 years) were evaluated. @entity1 presented with catamenial hemoptysis (n=8), or @entity4964 (n=7). @entity1 with @entity4964 were significantly older than those presenting with hemoptysis (P=0.0002). Only 3 @entity1 (20%) had coexisting @entity530 . All @entity1 underwent chest computed tomography; lesions were shown to predominantly affect the right lung (right lung, n=13, 86.7%; left lung, n=2, 13.3%), and were mainly distributed on the right upper lobe (n=9, 60%). Ten @entity1 underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, and 1 @entity1 underwent a thoracotomy. Intraoperatively, @entity46 -specific findings were observed in 8/11 @entity1 (72.7%); a further 5/11 @entity1 (45.4%) had histologically detectable @entity46 . Over the follow-up period (mean, 18.4 months; range, 2-65 months) 5/15 @entity1 (33%) had clinical signs of recurrence. Recurrence was not detected in any of the 5 @entity4964 @entity1 that received adjuvant hormonal therapy after surgery. CONCLUSION: The diagnosis and management of @entity46 requires a multidisciplinary approach, based upon skillful differential diagnosis, and involving careful gynecologic evaluation and assessment of the cyclicity of pulmonary symptoms. Imaging findings are non-specific, though there may be laterality towards the right lung. Since symptom recurrence is more common in those with presenting with pneumothorax, post-operative adjuvant medical therapy is recommended.
