Majoritatea leziunilor mamare maligne sunt tumori primare, cu originea în ţesutul mamar. Cancerele mamare primare metastazează de regulă în ganglionii limfatici, plămâni, oase şi creier. Metastazele în sân din cancere ale altor organe sunt foarte rare, dar au fost întâlnite la pacienţi cu melanom malign, tumori carcinoide sau carcinom pulmonar. Prezentul articol raportează un caz de metastază mamară din melanom malign.
Emerging evidence suggests that extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) improves survival in adults with reversible respiratory failure compared to conventional ventilation. Refractory status asthmaticus is an uncommon indication for ECMO. We present a case of near fatal status asthmaticus not responsive to conventional treatment and ventilation, in whom early use of ECMO resulted in a positive outcome. This case illustrates ECMO as a useful bridging therapy in this group of patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
