ABSTRACT

Resumen El sarcoma de Ewing es una neoplasia rara y altamente agresiva que afecta con cierta predilección adolescentes varones. La incorporación de terapia neoadyuvante y nuevas técnicas quirúrgicas ha mejorado la supervivencia. Presentamos el caso de un varón de 41 años con sarcoma de Ewing de pared torácica, quien recibió tratamiento multimodal consistente en quimio-radioterapia concurrente y tratamiento qui rúrgico, y alcanzó respuesta patológica completa. El sarcoma de Ewing rara vez se presenta en la edad adulta y, cuando lo hace, suele tener mal pronóstico. El tratamiento multimodal de pacientes mayores de 40 años ha probado mejorar los resultados oncológicos.


Abstract Ewing sarcoma is a rare and highly aggressive neoplasm that occurs most frequently in male adolescents. The incorporation of neoadjuvant therapy and new surgical techniques has improved survival. We present the case of a 41-year-old man diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma of the chest wall, whose tumor showed a pathological complete response to a multimodal treatment consisting of concurrent chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgical resection. Ewing sarcoma rarely occurs in adults, who generally have a worse prognosis. A multimodal approach for the treatment of patients older than 40 years has proven to improve oncological results.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUÇÃO: Nos estágios finais da reconstrução torácica, consequente a exéreses tumorais, são necessários procedimentos complexos e implantes. O que requer cuidados multidisciplinares, com a participação dos cirurgiões torácicos, plástico, radiologista e fisioterapeuta. O objetivo foi descrever as opções de reconstrução torácica após ressecção de neoplasia, realizado no Hospital Sarah Brasília. MÉTODO: Estudo retrospectivo de reconstrução torácica em tempo único, após excisão de tumor, fisioterapia respiratória com ventilação não invasiva e exercícios. RESULTADOS: Entre 2007 a 2012 foram operados 10 pacientes, sete homens e três mulheres; idade 10 a 31 anos; oito apresentavam tumores torácicos metastáticos (osteosarcoma, sinoviosarcoma, Fibrosarcoma epitelioide esclerosante e Rabdomiosarcoma) e dois originários da parede torácica (fibromatose e condrosarcoma). Observou-se boa evolução no pós-operatório imediato, com extubação ao final da cirurgia, retirada do dreno torácico entre 5° e 8° PO. As complicações foram: atelectasia (10%), recorrência tumoral (10%), e óbito em 3 (30%) casos . CONCLUSÃO: Foi possível a reconstrução torácica em tempo único utilizando tela de polipropileno, polimetilmetacrilato e retalhos musculares, com recuperação precoce da função pulmonar e baixo índice de complicações imediatas.


INTRODUCTION: Complex procedures and implants are required in the final stages of chest wall reconstruction after tumor excision. This process requires multidisciplinary care with participation from thoracic and plastic surgeons, a radiologist, and a physical therapist. The goal of this study was to describe the options for chest wall reconstruction after neoplasm resection at Hospital Sarah Brasilia. METHOD: A retrospective study of one-time chest wall reconstruction after tumor excision, respiratory physical therapy with noninvasive ventilation, and exercises was conducted. RESULTS: Between 2007 and 2012, 10 patients underwent surgery (seven men, three women; age range: 10-31 years); eight patients had metastatic thoracic tumors (e.g., osteosarcoma, synovial sarcoma, sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcoma, and rhabdomyosarcoma) and two had tumors originating from the chest wall (fibromatosis and chondrosarcoma). The outcomes were good after the immediate postoperative period, with extubation occurring at the end of surgery and chest tube removal between the fifth and eighth postoperative day. Three cases (30%) involved complications of atelectasis (10%), tumor recurrence (10%), or death. CONCLUSION: One-time chest wall reconstruction using polypropylene mesh, polymethylmethacrylate, and muscle flaps was possible and was associated with early recovery of pulmonary function and a low rate of immediate complications.

ABSTRACT

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: Os cuidados paliativos se baseiam na prevenção e alívio do sofrimento, identificando, avaliando e tratando a dor e outros problemas físicos, psicossociais e espirituais. Quadros súbitos de dispnéia são freqüentes em pacientes oncológicos em fase terminal. Nestes casos, a ventilação mecânica não-invasiva pode ser uma boa opção no manuseio da dispnéia, promovendo conforto e permitindo o contato do paciente com seus familiares. O objetivo deste estudo foi apresentar os benefícios obtidos com a ventilação mecânica não-invasiva no paciente sob cuidados paliativos. RELATO DO CASO: Paciente com 29 anos, em pós-operatório imediato de cesariana, admitida na unidade de terapia intensiva (UTI) para tratamento de insuficiência respiratória aguda. À radiografia de tórax visualizava-se massa pulmonar a direita. Após investigação clínica e de imagem foi diagnosticado sarcoma torácico metastático em fase avançada, sendo indicadas pela equipe de Oncologia medidas e cuidados paliativos. Para alivio da dispnéia, a equipe multidisciplinar da UTI optou pelo uso de ventilação mecânica não-invasiva (modalidade CPAP + PSV), permitindo a interação da mãe com o bebê e familiares. CONCLUSÕES: No contexto de cuidados paliativos, a VMNI mostrou-se ser um método capaz de contribuir para o controle da dispnéia provendo conforto e alívio ao paciente.


BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Palliative care is based on prevention and relief of suffering, identifying, assessing and treating pain and other physical, psychological, social and spiritual problems. Sudden dyspnea is frequently observed in terminal oncologic patients. In these cases, noninvasive ventilation can be an adequate option to control dyspnea promoting comfort and allowing patient interaction with their relatives. The aim of this article was to present the benefits of noninvasive ventilation in the palliative care setting. CASE REPORT: The case of a 29 year old patient, admitted in intensive care unit (ICU), after cesarean section delivery, for clinical treatment of acute respiratory failure is reported. Chest X-ray showed pulmonary mass in the right lung. After clinical and image investigation, metastatic thoracic sarcoma was diagnosed and palliative cares were introduced. The ICU interdisciplinary team chose to use noninvasive ventilation (modality CPAP + PSV) to relieve dyspnea and discomfort, as well as to allow interaction with her baby and family. CONCLUSIONS: Palliative care with noninvasive ventilation contributed to increase comfort of the patient by controlling dyspnea.
