Lung cancer infrequently metastasizes to the bowel. When this occurs, the symptoms may vary from mild to emergent in nature. Three patients are presented illustrating the life threatening complications that may occur due to bowel metastases of lung carcinoma. A review of the literature reveals that only four of 24 reported patients have survived bowel perforation due to metastatic lung carcinoma. One of the three patients presented herein survived to be discharged home. Patients with known lung carcinoma who develop abdominal complaints should be investigated aggressively to prevent life-threatening complications by early intervention.
肺癌很少转移至肠道。当这种情况发生时,症状性质可能从轻微到紧急不等。本文介绍了3例患者,以说明肺癌肠道转移可能导致的危及生命的并发症。文献回顾显示,在24例报告的患者中,只有4例在发生转移性肺癌导致肠道穿孔后存活下来。本文介绍的3例患者中有1例存活并出院回家。已知患有肺癌且出现腹部不适的患者应积极进行检查,以便通过早期干预预防危及生命的并发症。
