Pulmonary tumor thrombotic microangiopathy associated with lung cancer
چکیده انگلیسی

SummaryWe describe a case of pulmonary tumor thrombotic microangiopathy (PTTM) associated with lung cancer. A 63-year-old woman, who had been treated for lung cancer, was admitted to our hospital because of progressive dyspnea. Chest CT films showed reticular shadows in the middle and left upper lobes, and echocardiography revealed severe pulmonary hypertension. Because drug induced pneumonitis and either pulmonary thromboembolism or pulmonary tumor embolism were suspected, corticosteroid and anti-coagulant therapy were administered. Despite these treatments, she died 50 days after admission. Postmortem examination revealed PTTM associated with lung cancer. PTTM should be considered in cancer patients who show progressive respiratory failure and pulmonary hypertension.
