[Pulmonary tumour thrombotic microangiopathy associated with a gastric adenocarcinoma].
Revue medicale de Liege(2019)
摘要
We report the case of a 67 years old patient with a history of gastric adenocarcinoma who died in a context of severe dyspnea and whose autopsy will confirm the diagnosis of a Pulmonary Tumor Thrombotic Microangiopathy (PTTM). PTTM is a fatal pulmonary complication associated to multiple cancers. It starts with an acute or subacute respiratory failure quickly evolving towards fatal thrombo-embolic pulmonary hypertension and right heart failure. Pre-mortem diagnosis is difficult and not frequent because the pathology is rare, the underlying neoplastic disease is not always known, clinical and radiological signs are not specific and progression is fast. When made soon enough, PTTM diagnosis avoids useless and sometimes harmful medication. In some cases, an improvement of patient's symptoms and comfort is observed. Some studies described several months of extended survival.
