The case of a patient with yellow nail syndrome (YNS), an infiltrating duct carcinoma of the breast, and giant cell interstitial pneumonitis (GIP) is presented. YNS has not been previously described in association with GIP. There was improvement of the yellow fingernails following surgery and chemotherapy for the breast cancer. The possible pathogenesis of the yellow nails in this case and its management are presented. A wide variety of conditions are associated with YNS, which has been reported to respond to various treatment modalities. The most likely cause in our case is impaired lymphatic drainage. However, treatments that do not affect lymphatic drainage also have been reported to be successful.
本文报告了一例患有黄甲综合征(YNS)、乳腺浸润性导管癌和巨细胞间质性肺炎(GIP)的患者。此前尚未有YNS与GIP相关联的报道。乳腺癌手术及化疗后,患者的黄指甲有所改善。本文介绍了该病例中黄指甲可能的发病机制及其处理方法。多种病症与YNS相关,据报道YNS对各种治疗方式均有反应。在我们的病例中,最可能的原因是淋巴引流受损。然而,也有报道称不影响淋巴引流的治疗方法同样取得了成功。
