Abstract

A 66-year-old male patient who presented with fatigue and weight loss was evaluated by computed tomography and 10 cm mass lesion on the anterior mediastinum was detected. Videothoracoscopy applied to left hemithorax and multiple punch biopsies taken from mediastinal mass. Histopathologic examination of biopsy specimens showed no definite conclusion so the same procedure was applied from the right hemithorax in a second aoperation. A definitive diagnosis was not obtained, so the patient was operated for the third time and this time the mediastinotomy was performed. All these results and the clinical status of the patient were considered and the diagnosis of idiopathic mediastinal fibrosis (IMF) was diagnosed. Mediastinal fibrosis (MF) cases may be similar radiologically to malignant mediastinal tumors. It is important to make a differential diagnosis.

Özet

Halsizlik ve kilo kaybı şikayetleri ile tetkik edilen 66 yaşındaki erkek hastanın göğüs bilgisayarlı tomografisinde, anterior mediastende, 10 cm boyutlu kitlesel lezyon saptandı. Tanısal amaçlı operasyona alınan hastaya, sol hemitorakstan videotorakoskopik biyopsi uygulandı. Histopatolojik inceleme sonucunda kesin bir tanıya varılamaması üzerine aynı işlem ikinci bir operasyon ile sağ hemitoraksa yönelik uygulandı. Yine tanı elde edilememesi üzerine hasta tekrar operasyona alınarak mediastinotomi uygulandı. Tüm histopatolojik inceleme sonuçları ve klinik bulguları ile birlikte değerlendirilen olguda idiyopatik mediastinal fibrozis tanısına ulaşıldı. (MF) olguları radyolojik olarak malign mediasten tümörleri ile benzerlik gösterebilir ve ayırıcı tanı yapılması büyük önem arz etmektedir.
