Abstract

In Turkey, malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM), of which prognosis is poor, usually occurs by inhaling environmental asbestos and similar minerals. However, as in the developed countries, it can be seen with the contact of occupational asbestos. Despite frequent local invasion, it can rarely cause metastasis in distant organs. Herein, we present a case in whom a metastasis in trachea, bronchus, lymphatic gland, and submental region was detected.

Özet

Prognozu oldukça kötü olan Malign Plevral Mezotelyoma (MPM) ülkemizde genellikle çevresel maruziyet sonucu asbest ve benzeri minerallerin solunması ile ortaya çıkmaktadır. Ancak gelişmiş ülkelerde olduğu gibi mesleki asbest teması ile de görülebilmektedir. Sıklıkla lokal invazyon yapmakla beraber seyrek olarak da uzak organlara metastaz yapmaktadır. Biz de trakea, bronş, lenf bezi, dil ve submental bölgeye metastaz yapmış bir olguyu sunmak istedik.
