Abstract

A 59-year-old man, who had been admitted to another clinic with complaints of dyspnea and jaundice, was transferred to our department for further examination. On admission, abdominal pain, cough, weight loss, and hepatomegaly were also noticed. Thorax computerized tomography imaging was highly suggestive for lymphangitic carcinomatosis. The case had a pancreas tumor in the abdominal slices. He died within a month due to progressive respiratory failure. In conclusion, lymphangitic carcinomatosis should be kept in mind in the patients with tumor who had unexplained progressive respiratory failure. Key words: Lymphangitic carcinomatosis, Differential diagnosis, Dyspnea

Özet

Nefes darlığı ve sarılık yakınması olan 59 yaşında bir hasta diğer bir klinikten ileri tetkik amacıyla kliniğimize nakil edildi. Başvuru esnasında karın ağrısı, öksürük, kilo kaybı ve hepatomegali de dikkati çekti. Toraks bilgisayarlı tomografi incelemesi kuvvetle lenfanjitis karsinomatoza‘yı telkin ediyordu. Abdominal kesitlerde hastanın pankreasta tümörü vardı. Hasta bir ay içinde ilerleyici solunum yetmezliğinden öldü. Sonuç olarak tümörlü hastalarda nedeni açıklanamayan ilerleyici nefes darlığı ile karşılaşıldığında lenfanjitis karsinomatoza da akılda tutulmalıdır. Anahtar kelimeler: Lenfanjitis karsinomatoza, Ayırıcı tanı, Dispne
