Pancoast tumors (superior sulcus tumors) are apical lung cancers that may cause any or all of the symptoms originally described in 1932 as Pancoast's syndrome. We have presented a case report and a review of pertinent literature on the treatment of this tumor. Our patient was treated with preoperative radiation and en bloc tumor resection, the current standard of care for cure of Pancoast tumor. We support an aggressive approach in the treatment of this tumor, as radiation followed by radical tumor resection offers good palliation and the best chance for cure. Magnetic resonance imaging has emerged as the procedure of choice to assess the local extent of tumor, and in our patient, MRI accurately predicted that the tumor was resectable.
潘科斯特瘤（肺上沟瘤）是肺尖部的癌症，可能导致最初在1932年被描述为潘科斯特综合征的任何或所有症状。我们呈现了一例病例报告，并对该肿瘤的治疗相关文献进行了综述。我们的患者接受了术前放疗和肿瘤整块切除，这是目前治疗潘科斯特瘤的标准治疗方法。我们支持对该肿瘤采取积极的治疗方法，因为放疗后进行根治性肿瘤切除可提供良好的姑息治疗效果以及最佳的治愈机会。磁共振成像已成为评估肿瘤局部范围的首选检查方法，在我们的患者中，磁共振成像准确预测了肿瘤是可切除的。
