“…In the third case discussed in this article, the tumor lesion in the lung together with the history revealing a traumatic event attested to the diagnosis of a post-traumatic pleural hematoma. Bibo et al [ 33 ] described a case of a spontaneous pleural hematoma which appeared as the first sign of primary lung cancer. For this reason, when a pleural hematoma is detected, it is necessary to conduct an accurate and detailed diagnostic process to determine its etiology.…”

Unusual clinical course Background:Lung cancer is the most common malignant neoplasm diagnosed worldwide. Early diagnosis and treatment are of great importance for patient's prognosis. A wide variety of pulmonary conditions display clinical and radiological presentation similar to that of lung cancer, and the awareness of their existence can help in making correct diagnoses. Case Reports:This article presents a description of 4 patients with an insidious type of lesions mimicking pulmonary carcinomas. The first patient was referred to Department with a tumor-like lesion in the right lung. After CT of the chest and core-needle biopsy, the lesion turned out to be an ectopic thyroid tissue. The second patient reported a dry cough and weight loss. A lung nodule mass was revealed in chest CT and the patient was diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculoma. The remaining 2 patients, despite the suspicion of lung cancer, were subsequently diagnosed with a post-traumatic pleural hematoma and diffuse large B cell lymphoma. Conclusions:Low-dose computed tomography of the chest plays a significant role in the diagnosis of newly detected lesions in the lungs. However, due to the similarity of the image of cancer to that of other diseases, the ultimate diagnosis should be based on the interpretation of full imaging diagnostic tests, clinical presentation, and histopathological examination of the material obtained from the lesion. Analysis of cases enables us to expand our understanding of the diseases that need to be considered in differential diagnosis of a patient with a detected tumor-like lesion in the lungs.

“…Outras intervenções ao hemotórax incluem: embolização arterial como utilizado por Suoh 17 (2021) em um hemotórax por ruptura de metástase de hepatocarcinoma 17 ; toracoscopia e toracotomia exploradora 5 . No hemotórax paraneoplásico descrito por Bibo 18 (2020), a toracoscopia foi realizada para remover os coágulos presentes, já que não havia sangramento ativo 18 . No procedimento, nenhum sinal macroscópico foi conclusivo ao hemotórax, sendo somente esclarecido com o resultado do anatomopatológico de pleura, com lesões metastáticas de adenocarcinoma pulmonar 17 .…”

Introdução: O sarcoma é uma neoplasia mesenquimal que pode cursar com metástase, principalmente pulmonar. Uma minoria dos casos metastáticos pode sangrar e causar hemotórax, principalmente o angiosarcoma ou, menos provável, o tumor maligno da bainha do nervo periférico (TMBNP). Relato do caso: Homem, 63 anos, portador de TMBNP da coxa tratado com cirurgia e adjuvância com quimioterapia e radioterapia. Quatro meses após o tratamento da recidiva, apresentou dor ventilatório dependente e síncope, com evidência de metástases e derrame pleural volumoso à direita na tomografia. À videotoracoscopia foi diagnosticado hemotórax maciço e duas metástases pulmonares rotas, ativamente sangrantes que foram ressecadas. Após alta, iniciou pazopanibe, mas evoluiu com quadro de caquexia neoplásica e óbito. Conclusão: O hemotórax maciço por metástases de sarcomas é raro, mas em pacientes oncológicos com dispneia aguda ou dor pleurítica deve ser diagnóstico diferencial para a correta conduta. Palavras-chave: Sarcoma. Hemotórax. Metástase Neoplásica.
