Abstract

Primary pulmonary choriocarcinoma is a highly aggressive germ cell neoplasm and an extremely rare, especially in males. It is characterized by a poor response to therapy and shortened survival times. We present the case of primary pulmonary choriocarcinoma in a 46-year-old male. The patient was referred to our institute with cough, worsening dyspnea and hemoptysis. The contrast-enhanced chest computed tomography revealed an avid enhanced 15 × 14 cm sized nodular lesion, in the left lower lung, which invaded into the diaphragm. After the embolization of the intercostal arteries, the tumour was resected successfully. However, the patient had died suddenly on the 28th day after the surgery. Autopsy was conducted and revealed that his cause of the death was the tumour emboli in the right coronary artery.

一名男性原发性肺绒毛膜癌切除术后病情急剧恶化。
原发性肺绒毛膜癌是一种侵袭性极强的生殖细胞肿瘤,极其罕见,尤其是在男性中。它的特点是对治疗反应差,存活时间短。本病例是一名 46 岁男性的原发性肺绒毛膜癌。患者因咳嗽、呼吸困难加重和咯血转诊至我院。造影剂增强胸部计算机断层扫描显示,左下肺有一个 15 × 14 厘米大小的嗜酸性增强结节性病灶,病灶侵入膈肌。栓塞肋间动脉后,肿瘤被成功切除。然而,患者在术后第 28 天突然死亡。尸检显示,其死因是右冠状动脉中的肿瘤栓塞。
