摘要
肺部肿瘤栓塞(PTE)主要由腺癌引起。然而,口咽癌的病例却寥寥无几。我们在此报告了一名 47 岁的男性,他在口咽癌 II 期治疗 6 个月后出现发热、咳嗽和呼吸困难。胸部计算机断层扫描显示中心叶颗粒状和结节状阴影,胸膜下有合并症。经支气管肺活检显示,小血管内有大量鳞状肿瘤细胞形成栓子,因此诊断为口咽癌导致的 PTE。因此,有缺氧病史的患者应考虑 PTE。
Pulmonary Tumor Embolism due to Oropharyngeal Carcinoma Diagnosed by a Transbronchial Lung Biopsy.
Pulmonary tumor embolisms (PTEs) are primarily caused by adenocarcinoma. However, only a few cases of oropharyngeal carcinoma have been reported. We herein report a 47-year-old man who presented with a fever, cough, and dyspnea 6 months after treatment for stage II oropharyngeal carcinoma. Chest computed tomography revealed centrilobular granular and nodular shadows and subpleural consolidation. A transbronchial lung biopsy revealed a mass of squamous tumor cells forming emboli in the small vessels, resulting in the diagnosis of PTE due to oropharyngeal carcinoma. Therefore, PTE should be considered for patients with a history of hypoxia.
