ABSTRACT

O pulmao é um dos locais onde mais freqüentemente se desenvolvem metástases, sendo que 2 por cento a 5 por cento destes casos apresentam comprometimendo endobrônquico. Especificamente no câncer de mama, as metástases endobrônquicas (ME) podem ser identificadas em até 36 por cento dos pacientes. OBJETIVO. Relato de caso mostrando a importância de se reconhecer a presença de uma ME, já que as ME podem simular quadros de asma, bronquite, pneumonia e câncer de pulmao. RELATO DE CASO. Mulher branca, 38 anos, portadora câncer de mama, admitida com quadro de tosse seca e dispnéia de repouso. Radiologicamente, apresentava-se sinais de comprometimento pulmonar bilateral compatíveis com disseminaçao da neoplasia mamária. A endoscopia evidenciou pequenas lesoes elevadas, isoladas e esparsas por toda árvore brônquica, cujo anatomopatológico mostrou tratar-se de carcinoma em mucosa brônquica com características sugestivas de metástase por neoplasia de mama. CONCLUSAO. Os autores ressaltam a importância da broncoscopia na identificaçao das ME, já que estas podem ser detectadas via endoscópica em até 50 por cento dos casos. A broncoscopia tem alta especificidade e é um método diagnóstico que nesta situaçao apresenta raras complicaçoes.

ABSTRACT

UNLABELLED: Frequently metastases are developed in the lung. Endobronchial involvement, in these cases, ranges from 2% to 5%. Particularly in breast cancer, endobronchial metastases (EM) carriers could be identified in approximately 36% of the cases. PURPOSE: Relate of a case showing the importance of the EM detection. The differential diagnosis is very important because EM can simulate asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia and lung cancer. CASE REPORT: 38 year-old caucasian woman, carrier of a breast cancer, who was referred to "Arnaldo Vieira de Carvalho" Cancer Institute with non-productive cough and rest dyspnea. On X-Ray she had bilateral lung infiltrates, which was due to disseminated breast neoplasm. Bronchoscopy showed little elevated and isolated lesions, dispersed along all bronchial tree. The histological examination showed a carcinoma of the bronchial mucosa suggesting breast cancer origin. CONCLUSIONS: The authors emphasize the importance of the bronchoscopic examination in the diagnosis of EM. These lesions can be detected by this way in 50% of the cases. Bronchoscopy has high specificity and it is a safe diagnostic method that in this way presents rare complications.

ABSTRACT

Pneumotórax espontâneo (PE) concomitante às doenças neoplásicas é incomum. Destas, as que mais se associam ao PE säo o câncer de pulmäo e o sarcoma osteogênico com metástases pulmonares. Objetivo. O presente artigo tem o intuito de registrar a ocorrência de PE relacionado a neoplasia de mama e discutir os principais fatores etiopatogênicos envolvidos no evento. Material e Métodos. Os autores descrevem caso de mulher com 43 anos, parda, näo tabagista e protadora de carcinoma ductal infiltrante de mama esquerda, com metástases pulmonares disseminadas bilateralmente. O PE ocorreu na vigência de poliquimioterapia e näo pode ser relacionado a outras causas. Conclusäo. Embora o pulmäo apresente metástases conseqüentes a neoplasia mamária em até 60 por cento dos casos, a coexistência de PE e carcinoma de mama é muito rara. Em revisäo de literatura dos últimos cinco anos, näo se encontraram relatos desta concomitância. Quanto à etiopatogenia do pneumotórax, acredita-se que os fatores relacionados ao episódio sejam múltimos, e os autores fazem comentários a respeito

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Spontaneous pneumothorax with concomitant neoplastic diseases is unusual. Lung cancer and osteogenic sarcoma with pulmonary metastasis are the neoplasms that most frequently accompany the spontaneous pneumothorax. This article's purposes are to relate the occurrence of spontaneous pneumothorax associated with breast neoplasms and to discuss the main etiopathogenic factors involved in the process. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The authors report a case of a 43-year-old black woman carrier of a left breast ductal carcinoma with bilateral pulmonary metastasis. Spontaneous pneumothorax appeared during multidrug chemotherapy, so it cannot be related to other causes. CONCLUSIONS: Even though breast neoplasms cause lung metastases in about 60% of the cases, the coexistence of spontaneous pneumothorax and breast carcinoma is very rare. There was no report of this topic in the medical literature review during the last five years. The authors believe and discuss the multiple pneumothorax etiopathogenic factors related to this case.

ABSTRACT

The authors report a case of synchronous male breast cancer and squamous cell carcinoma of the lung. Comments about etiopathogenic factors of this rare multiple primary neoplasm are made. The authors suggest that the relationship is casual, since the patient had been a heavy smoker, and the main age range for the two neoplasms in approximately the same.
