ABSTRACT

Relatamos o caso de um paciente do sexo masculino de 58 anos de idade, que foi encaminhado para a consulta de oncologia por apresentar uma massa epigástrica de crescimento rápido em três meses de evolução. A investigação diagnóstica revelou tratar-se de um adenocarcinoma pulmonar metastático estádio IV. Recebeu cinco ciclos de cisplatina e gemcitabina como tratamento de primeira linha, que foi interrompido devido a efeitos adversos. Houve estabilidade da doença pulmonar e progressão cutânea. Recebeu pemetrexed como tratamento de segunda linha e radioterapia externa concomitante, com boa tolerância e regressão completa da massa epigástrica. Entretanto, o paciente faleceu três meses após o tratamento. Destacamos aqui importância da multidisciplinaridade e do seu papel na individualização do tratamento.


We report the case of a 58-year-old male patient who was referred for oncology consultation due to an epigastric mass that had been growing rapidly for three months. Diagnostic investigation revealed that the mass was a metastasis of stage IV lung adenocarcinoma. The patient received five cycles of chemotherapy with cisplatin and gemcitabine as a first-line treatment, which was interrupted due to major adverse events. Although the pulmonary disease stabilized, the cutaneous disease progressed. The patient then received pemetrexed as a second-line chemotherapy, together with concurrent external radiotherapy, which was well tolerated. There was complete remission of the epigastric mass. However, the patient died three months after the treatment. Here, we emphasize the importance of a multidisciplinary approach and of its role in individualizing the treatment.
