Extra-abdominal aggressive fibromatosis presenting as an intrathoracic tumor

Fibröz doku kaynaklı tümörler toraksta ve mediastinumda nadir olarak görülmekte ve rapor edilmektedirler. Biz burada, agresif fibromatozisin, toraks içi dokulardan kaynaklanan nadir bir formunu bildirmek istedik. Otuz altı yaşında bayan hasta hastanemize sol göğüs ağrısı ve sıkışma hissi ile başvurdu. Çekilen PA grafi ve toraks bilgisayarlı tomografisinde, sol toraks alt kısmını üçte iki oranında dolduran dev kitle görüldü. Bunun üzerine hastaya sol yedinci interkostal aralıktan yapılan torakotomi ile geniş rezeksiyon uygulandı. Tümör patolojisi 20x15x15 cm çapında agresif fibromatozis olarak geldi. Hasta 15 aydır takip altında ve kontrollerinde yineleme görülmedi.

İntratorasik ekstra abdominal agresif fibromatozis

Tumors of fibrous tissue origin (fibromatosis) in chest and mediastinum have been rarely reported in the literature. Herein, we report a rare case of aggressive fibromatosis presenting as an intrathoracic tumor. A 36-year-old woman admitted to our hospital due to a feeling of oppression and pain in the left chest. A chest X-ray, thorax computed tomography revealed a large mass filling two thirds of lower left thorax. Widely surgical resection of the tumor was performed thoracotomy via seventh intercostal space. The tumor was 20x15x15 mm in size and diagnosed pathologically as aggressive fibromatosis. The patient has been well without recurrence for 15 months after surgery.
