Actinomycosis of the Lungs Mimicing a Pancoast Tumor
Aktinomykóza pľúc predstierajúca pancoastoidný rakovinný nádor
Autori predstavujú pacienta s hrudníkovou formou aktinomykózy, ktorá simulovala klinický obraz „pancoastoidného“ nádoru pľúc – ešte aj potvrdeného falošne pozitívnou cytológiou. Ochorenie riešili rozšírenou lobektómiou z ľavých pľúc, doplnenú potom lege artis pooperačnou antibiotickou liečbou. Výsledok je aj z aspektu dlhodobého veľmi dobrý.
