Abstract

A 44-year-old female patient with a history of a gestational trophoblastic tumor surgery was referred to our clinic upon detection of cystic- cavitary lesion showing slow progression in both lungs. It was decided to perform bilateral surgery in the patient for diagnosis and treatment purposes; first, left upper lobectomy and one month later, right lower lobectomy were applied. Histopathological examination results of the specimens obtained during both operations reported an “epithelioid trophoblastic tumor” metastasis. Aspergilloma was also noted in the tumor in left upper lobe at the same time. Epithelioid trophoblastic tumors, a very rare member of gestational trophoblastic tumors, can achieve distant organ metastasis. Surgical treatment remains important in these cases, which are mostly resistant to chemotherapy.

Özet

Öyküsünde gestasyonel trofoblastik tümör cerrahisi olan 44 yaşında bir kadın hasta, her iki akciğerde yavaş progresyon gösteren kistik-kaviter lezyon saptanması üzerine kliniğimize sevk edildi. Tanı ve tedavi amaçlı iki taraflı cerrahi uygulanmasına karar verilen hastaya önce sol üst lobektomi, bir ay sonra sağ alt lobektomi yapıldı. Her iki ameliyat sırasında edinilen numunelerin histopatolojik inceleme sonuçları bir “epiteloid trofoblastik tümör metastazı” olarak bildirildi. Sol üst lobdaki tümör içinde aynı zamanda aspergilloma izlendi. Gestasyonel torfoblastik tümörlerin çok nadir bir üyesi olan epiteloid trofoblastik tümörler uzak organ metastazı yapabilir. Çoğunlukla kemoterapiye dirençli olan bu olgularda cerrahi tedavi önemini korumaktadır.
