ABSTRACT

Se presenta el caso de un paciente masculino de 60 años de edad, tabaquista de 135 paquetes/año con síntomas respiratorios agudos e infiltrados pulmonares bilaterales, en contexto de pandemia y cuyo diagnostico definitivo fue adenocarcinoma de pulmón, presentando durante su evolución neumotórax espontaneo. Arribar al diagnóstico definitivo puede llegar a ser un gran desafío por la similitud en la presentación radiológica como en los síntomas respiratorios atribuibles a COVID-19 y la dificultad para llevar a cabo los procedimientos diagnósticos. La sospecha de una neoplasia de pulmón, cuando se acompaña de un neumotórax debe incluirse dentro de los diagnósticos diferenciales, aunque se trate de una entidad poco frecuente.


We present the case of a 60-year-old male, a 135-pack/year smoker with acute respiratory symptoms and bilateral pulmonary infiltrates, in the context of a pandemic and whose definitive diagnosis was lung adenocarcinoma, presenting during his evolution spontaneous pneumothorax. Arriving at the definitive diagnosis can become a great challenge due to the similarity in the radiological presentation and in the respiratory symptoms attributable to COVID-19 and the difficulty in carrying out the diagnostic procedures. The suspicion of a lung neoplasm, when accompanied by a pneumothorax, should be included in the differential diagnoses, although it is a rare entity.
