Abstract

A 12-year-old boy presented to our clinic with recurrent lower respiratory tract symptoms that are wheezing, cough, bronchopneumonia, and fever and with a diagnosis of bacterial endocarditis. Physical examination revealed that breath sounds diminished in the left lower lobe. Because cardiac sounds and echocardiography were normal bacterial endocarditis was excluded. Chest radiograph and CT scan showed a left lower lobe atelectasis and consolidation. Despite medical therapy including antibiotics, bronchodilator etc, atelectasis persisted. Fiberoptic flexıble bronchoscopy (FFB) revealed a tumor that totally obstructed the left lower lobe bronchus. Open lung biopsy revealed a low-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma. Left lower lung lobectomy was performed. The patient is in good condition 12 months after the operation. We proposed that FFB should be performed earlier in patients with recurrent lower respiratory symptoms who have persistent atelectasis or unifocal infiltration.

Özet

On iki yaşındaki erkek hasta wheezing, öksürük ve bronkopnömoni şeklinde tekrarlayan alt solunum yakınmaları ve düşmeyen ateş nedeniyle bakteriyel endokardit ön tanısıyla kliniğimize başvurdu. Fizik muayenesinde solunum sesleri sol alt zonda azalmıştı. Kalp sesleri ve ekokardiyografisi normal olarak saptandığı için bakteriyel endokardit ekarte edildi. Akciğer grafisi ve bilgisayarlı tomografisinde sol alt lobda konsolidasyon ve atelektazik görünüm vardı. Uygun antibiyoterapi, bronkodilatatör tedavi ve postüral drenaja rağmen atelektazik görünüm persiste etti. Fiberoptik fleksibl bronkoskopi (FFB) ile sol alt lob bronşunu tamamen tıkayan tümöral kitle saptandı. Açık akciğer biyopsi materyalinin patolojik incelemesinde düşük dereceli mukoepidermoid karsinoma tanısı kondu. Olguya sol alt lobektomi uygulandı. Hasta operasyondan 12 ay sonra iyi idi. Yineleyen alt solunum yolu semptomları, persiste eden atelektazisi ya da fokal infiltratif görünümü olan hastalarda erken dönemde FFB yapılması uygun olacaktır.
