Linfomas Pulmonares: Correlação Da Tomografia Computadorizada De Alta Resolução Com a Anatomopatologia

Abstract: Neste trabalho são descritos os aspectos tomográficos de alta resolução dos linfomas pulmonares e feita correlação com os achados anatomopatológicos. Com este objetivo, foram revisados as tomografias computadorizadas de alta resolução do tórax e os dados histopatológicos de dez pacientes com diagnóstico confirmado de linfoma não-Hodgkin ou de doença de Hodgkin. Os resultados obtidos foram confrontados com os descritos na literatura. Os achados radiológicos mais comumente vistos neste estudo foram as consolidaç… Show more

“…Contrarily to HL, NHL tends to manifest as a single, bulky lymph node mass, and not as individually increased lymph nodes. According to our results, in the chest, other sites are usually involved, such as pulmonary parenchyma, pleura and pericardium (2,10) .…”

“…The pulmonary disease, without lymph node involvement is more frequent in recurrent lymphomas. Pulmonary involvement is frequently asymptomatic and symptoms, when present, are usually nonspecific (8,10) . One characteristic of HL in the lung is the dissemination along the lymphatic route (10) and, in the mediastinum, the dissemination contiguously from a lymph node group to the next, with initial presentation in about 65%-80% of patients with abnormal chest x-ray (5,10) .…”

“…The pulmonary architecture is preserved, with no evidence of lung parenchyma remodeling. (3) Pulmonary function tests are useful in making the differential diagnosis and usually show mixed respiratory disorder without diffusional alteration, as well as hypoxemia at rest, without hypercapnia. The diagnosis is typically based on specimens from a transbronchial biopsy or bronchoalveolar lavage.…”

“…The differential diagnosis should be made with other diseases that preferably present lymphatic dissemination, such as sarcoidosis, lymphoma, leukemia, paracoccidioidomycosis, Kaposi's sarcoma, diffuse pulmonary lymphangiomatosis, and lymphangiectasia. (3) Ovarian adenocarcinoma is not a common primary site of pulmonary carcinomatous lymphangitis, and is even less common when carcinomatous lymphangitis is found as the initial manifestation of the disease. This neoplasia, which accounts for 4% of all cases of cancer, typically presents peritoneal dissemination through metastatic cells in the free peritoneum.…”
