The addition of albumin to the treatment in a patient with hypoalbuminemia and suspected phantom tumor may prevent expensive and invasive procedures

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Phantom tumors or vanishing tumors of the lung are well known clinical conditions in cardiovascular medicine which result from loculation of a pleural effusion within an interlobar fissure.
📊
Key Findings & Data:Although the phantom tumor is generally believed to occur in patients with systolic dysfunctions, here we present a case of an atypical phantom tumor of the lung in a patient with mitral valve replacement, preserved systolic function and hypoalbuminemia.

Abstract

Phantom tumors or vanishing tumors of the lung are well known clinical conditions in cardiovascular medicine which result from loculation of a pleural effusion within an interlobar fissure. Although the phantom tumor is generally believed to occur in patients with systolic dysfunctions, here we present a case of an atypical phantom tumor of the lung in a patient with mitral valve replacement, preserved systolic function and hypoalbuminemia. The phantom tumor has disappeared after the inclusion of albumin into the intravenous diuretic treatment. The patient was hospitalized many/multiple times with similar signs and symptoms in a one-year follow-up. The addition of albumin to the treatment in a patient with hypoalbuminemia and suspected phantom tumor may prevent expensive and invasive procedures

Özet

Hayalet veya buharlaşan akciğer tümörleri, interlobar fisürde plevral efüzyon birikmesiyle oluşan kardiyovasküler tıpta iyi bilinen durumlardır. Her ne kadar sistolik disfonksiyonu olan hastalarda oluştuğu düşünülse de, bu yazıda sistolik fonksiyonları korunmuş mitral kapak replasmanı yapılmış hipoalbuminemili hastada atipik görünümlü hayalet akciğer tümörü sunulmuştur. Hasta bir yıllık takipte benzer bulgu ve belirtilerle mükerrer hospitalize edilmiştir. Hayalet tümör mevcut diüretik tedavisine albümin eklenmesiyle kaybolmuştur. Hipoalbuminemisi olan ve hayalet tümör şüphesi olan hastalarda tedaviye albümin eklenmesi pahalı ve invazif işlemleri engelleyebilir
