Abstract

Despite all the advances in the diagnostic methods for lung pathologies, surgical observation still maintains its importance as a diagnostic method. Thoracic computed tomography revealed multiple lesions with different sizes in the right intermediate bronchus, the right upper lobe and the right lower lobe of a 76-year-old male smoker patient with the diagnosis of chronic bronchitis. The histopathological diagnosis for the lesion in the right intermediate bronchus resected with bronchoscopy was reported to be papilloma. The histopathological diagnosis of the lower lob lesion, wich was removed by pneumotomy via right thoracotomy, was found to be chondroid hamartoma. The biopsy performed from the upper lob lesion was reported as non-small cell carcinoma. The pathological stage of the patient was found as IA (pT1N0M0) in the histopathological evaluation following right apical segmentectomy performed through right rethoracotomy. No adjuvant chemotherapy was administered to the patient after the surgery. The 16-month follow-up period was without any problems. Multiple coexisting lesions in the lung should each be separately assessed. Surgical observation sometimes appears to be the only way of diagnosis in such cases despite all the diagnostic interventions.

Özet

Akciğer patolojilerinin tanı yöntemlerindeki tüm gelişmelere rağmen, cerrahi gözlem hala bir tanı yöntemi olarak önemini korumaktadır. Kronik bronşit tanısı olan sigara içicisi 76 yaşındaki erkek olgunun toraks bilgisayarlı tomografisinde, sağ intermedier bronş içinde, sağ üst ve sağ alt lobda değişik boyutlarda çoklu lezyonlar saptandı. Bronkoskopik olarak çıkarılan, sağ intermedier bronş içindeki lezyonun histopatolojik tanısı papillom olarak bildirildi. Sağ torakotomi yapılarak, pnömotomi ile çıkarılan alt lob lezyonunun histopatolojik tanısının kondroid hamartom olduğu belirlendi. Üst lob lezyonundan yapılan biyopsi, küçük hücreli dışı akciğer kanseri olarak bildirildi. Sağ retorakotomi ile sağ apikal segmentektomi uygulanan hastanın patolojik evresi, histopatolojik değerlendirme sonucunda evre IA (pT1N0M0) olarak saptandı. Hastaya ameliyat sonrası adjuvan kemoterapisi uygulanmadı. On altı aylık takip süresi sorunsuzdu. Akciğerde bulunan ve birden fazla olan kitlesel lezyonların her biri ayrı ayrı değerlendirilmelidir. Bu tür olgularda tüm tanısal girişimlere rağmen cerrahi gözlem, tanı için bazen tek yol olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır.
