Abstract

A 79-year-old woman was given a diagnosis of scalp angiosarcoma. Treatment with interleukin-2 and radiotherapy aclieved a complete response. However, a few months later, the patient presented with multiple thin-walled cavitary metastases in the right lung and pneumothorax. The pneumothorax was successfully treated but soon relapsed. The patient died of respiratory failure at home. Lung metastasis of malignant tumors should be considered one cause of relapsing pneumothorax.

摘要

一名79岁女性被诊断为头皮血管肉瘤。采用白细胞介素-2和放疗进行治疗后获得了完全缓解。然而，几个月后，该患者出现右肺多发薄壁空洞性转移瘤和气胸。气胸得到了成功治疗，但很快复发。患者在家中死于呼吸衰竭。恶性肿瘤的肺转移应被视为复发性气胸的一个原因。
