Pulmonary hamartoma in a patient operated on for a colon neoplasm
Hamartoma pulmonar en un paciente operado de un neoplasma de colon
Resumen:
Observation o! a single pulmonary hamartoma in a patient having recently (11 months) been operated of a colon carcinoma.Presence of a lung nodule suggested the existence of secondarism, the more so because growing had been detected at a rate of 0,5 cm in diameter, in a period of seven months. Computed tomography did not provide the etiological diagnosis because there is very little experience in this subject the world over, though in pulmonary hamartoma there are present pathognomonic signs when associated with calcification and fatty tissue. Upon presumption of a single pulmonary secondarism, upper right lobectomy was performed. Pathological anatomy provides the definitive diagnosis.
Comunicamos una observación de Hamartoma pulmonar único en un paciente recientemente operado de un carcinoma de colon. (11 meses) La presencia de un nódulo pulmonar sugirió la existencia de un secundarismo, máxime que se comprobó el crecimiento del mismo que fue de 0,5 cm de diámetro en un periodo de 7 meses. La tomografía computada no aportó el diagnóstico etiológico por la poca experiencia mundial existente sobre el tema, a pesar que en el Hamartoma pulmonar existen signos patognomónicos, cuando están presentes las calcificaciones y el tejido adiposo.Ante la presunción de un secundarismo pulmonar único se efectuó una lobectomía superior derecha. Siendo la anatomía patológica la que dio el diagnóstico definitivo.
