Article information

Symptoms such as cough and hemoptysis in patients with lung cancer can be the consequence of local bronchopulmonary disease, tumor growth that leads to compression of surrounding structures, distant metastases, diverse systemic effects (anorexia, asthenia, weight loss), or paraneoplastic syndromes associated with tumor production of certain hormones. Approximately 10% of patients are asymptomatic at diagnosis. We report the case of a 77-year-old man with dyspnea, pleuritic chest pain, and lower limb edema. the patient died within a few days. the cause of the clinical picture was constrictive pericarditis secondary to metastases from lung carcinoma.

Key words:
Lung cancer
Constrictive pericarditis
Metastases from lung cancer

Los síntomas que presentan los pacientes con cáncer de pulmón pueden ser la consecuencia de una enfermedad broncopulmonar local (tos, hemoptisis, etc.), deberse a la extensión del tumor hacia las estructuras circundantes, a metástasis a distancia, a efectos sistémicos inespecíficos (anorexia, astenia, pérdida de peso) o a síndromes paraneoplásicos secundarios a la producción de determinadas hormonas por el tumor. En torno al 10% de los pacientes se encuentran asintomáticos en el momento del diagnóstico.

Presentamos el caso de un paciente varón de 77 años de edad, que presentaba disnea, dolor torácico de tipo pleuríti co y edemas en los miembros inferiores. Su evolución fue fatal, falleciendo al cabo de pocos días. La causa de la elínica era la existencia de pericarditis constrictiva secundaria a metástasis de carcinoma pulmonar.

Palabras claves:
Carcinoma pulmonar
Pericarditis constrictiva
Metástasis de pulmón
