We present a rare case of thrombosis associated with an occult colon malignancy (Trousseau syndrome) in a 25-year-old woman who also presented with previously unidentified Lynch syndrome and acute-on-chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. Staged treatment included bilateral pulmonary endarterectomy under deep hypothermic circulatory arrest, followed 11 days later by laparoscopic subtotal colectomy and creation of a primary anastomosis. The patient tolerated both procedures well and recovered normal functional status. Final pathologic analysis of the resected colon mass revealed a pT3N0, stage IIA adenocarcinoma; no adjuvant therapy was administered. At her one-year follow-up visit, the patient was cancer-free, remained on lifelong apixaban anticoagulation, and was undergoing routine monitoring and genetic counseling. This case highlights the need for multidisciplinary management of a patient with severe chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension and a concomitant malignancy.
我们报告了一例罕见的与隐匿性结肠恶性肿瘤(Trousseau 综合征)相关的血栓形成病例,该患者为 25 岁女性,同时患有先前未确诊的 Lynch 综合征和亚急性慢性血栓栓塞性肺动脉高压。分期治疗包括在深低温循环停止下进行双侧肺动脉内膜切除术,11 天后再进行腹腔镜次全结肠切除术和一期吻合术。患者耐受了这两种手术,恢复了正常的功能状态。切除的结肠肿块的最终病理分析显示为 pT3N0,IIA 期腺癌;未给予辅助治疗。在她一年的随访中,患者无癌,仍在服用终身依度沙班抗凝治疗,并接受常规监测和遗传咨询。本病例强调了需要对患有严重慢性血栓栓塞性肺动脉高压和同时存在恶性肿瘤的患者进行多学科管理。
