A Pancoast or superior sulcus tumor is a rare, bronchogenic carcinoma. In the early period, shoulder pain is the most common symptom. In this case, the patient had presented with complaints of shoulder and arm pain at other outpatient clinics and was examined primarily for musculoskeletal causes and radiculopathy. The patient had no complaints of facial symptoms and Horner's syndrome signs, such as anhidrosis of the face and neck region, were not noticed. Advanced imaging of a patient with preganglionic Horner's syndrome is important. Fewer than 50% of patients with a Pancoast tumor have a resectable lesion at the first diagnosis. Diagnosis is often delayed or there may be a misdiagnosis because musculoskeletal disorders are the focus and there are few lung-related complaints. A detailed examination and anamnesis is very important in patients with arm and shoulder pain.
潘科斯特瘤或肺上沟瘤是一种罕见的支气管源性癌。在早期,肩部疼痛是最常见的症状。在该病例中,患者在其他门诊就诊时主诉肩部和手臂疼痛,主要因肌肉骨骼原因和神经根病接受检查。患者无面部症状主诉,未发现霍纳综合征体征,如面部和颈部无汗。对节前霍纳综合征患者进行高级影像学检查很重要。初诊时,不到50%的潘科斯特瘤患者有可切除病变。由于关注的是肌肉骨骼疾病且肺部相关主诉较少,诊断往往延迟或可能出现误诊。对于有手臂和肩部疼痛的患者,详细检查和问诊非常重要。
