We report a case involving an intrathoracic desmoid tumor in a 68-year-old woman who had undergone video-assisted thoracoscopic right basal segmentectomy for lung cancer 1 year earlier. The well demarcated tumor was 9 cm × 6 cm × 6 cm in size, was located in the right apico-posterior thorax and had invaded the chest wall. The patient complained of a dull shoulder pain as a result of rapid tumor enlargement. En bloc tumor resection, including the apico-posterior chest wall extending from the 1st to the 4th rib, was successful. The patient had no recurrent tumor at 5 years after the second surgery. Intrathoracic desmoid tumor could occur, even when the tumor arises at a distance from the port and thoracotomy sites after thoracoscopic surgery.
我们报告一例68岁女性的胸腔内硬纤维瘤病例,该患者1年前因肺癌接受了电视辅助胸腔镜下右肺基底段切除术。肿瘤边界清晰,大小为9 cm×6 cm×6 cm,位于右胸尖后位并侵犯胸壁。由于肿瘤迅速增大,患者主诉肩部钝痛。成功进行了整块肿瘤切除,包括从第1肋至第4肋的胸尖后胸壁。二次手术后5年,患者未出现肿瘤复发。即使肿瘤发生在胸腔镜手术后远离切口和开胸部位的地方,胸腔内硬纤维瘤仍可能出现。
