ABSTRACT

We report a case of a case of a male patient with repeated hemoptysis without previous significant history and no weight loss, fever or sputum. Physical examination was normal and chest x-ray showed a mass in left upper lobe that was confirmed by CT scan. The mass touched the mediastinal fat and the mediastinal pleura anteriorly. Bronchocopy showed occlusion of left anterior segmental bronchus of the upper lobe with mucosal inflammation and hair was observed inside the bronchus. Thoracotomy was performed and a cystyc mass was fund in the left upper lobe, with no invasion of the mediastinum, and was totally resected. Pathology specimen was compatible with the diagnosis of a cystic teratoma with several different tissues which included pancreatic parenchyma. The patient's outcome was uneventful and he continues to do well during follow-up

ABSTRACT

Se revisan los aspectos clínicos de 18 infecciones pleuropulmonares por Bacteroides melaninogenicus. La mayoría de los pacientes presentaba condiciones predisponentes, tales como alcoholismo (4), cirugía torácica y cervical reciente (3), cáncer pulmonar (2), diabetes (1), epilepsia (1), hemotórax (1). Sólo dos pacientes no presentaban factores de riesgo. Los hallazgos radiológicos consistieron en condensación pulmonar en 4, neumonia necrotizante en 3, absceso pulmonar en 3 y derrame pleural en 7. La mayoría de los pacientes tuvo una respuesta deficiente al tratamiento con penicilina, lo cual sugiere resistencia bacteriana o bien inactivación del antibiótico por bacterias aeróbicas presentes en los cultivos. Los pacientes con compromiso pleural curaron con drenaje quirúrgico. Sugerimos que los casos en que se sospecha neumonia anaeróbica con lenta resolución de la infección deberían estudiarse con procedimientos invasivos a fin de identificar al agente causal
