A 53-year-old woman with small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) presented at our hospital complaining of abdominal distention. Blood tests revealed rapidly progressive normocytic anemia and elevated lactate dehydrogenase levels. Pelvic magnetic resonance imaging revealed a left ovarian tumor and ascites. As her symptoms rapidly worsened, she underwent emergency surgery, which revealed a ruptured metastatic ovarian tumor of SCLC. Emergency surgery averted a life-threatening situation in this patient, and subsequent chemotherapy facilitated long-term survival. As seen from literature review, in female SCLC patients, ovarian metastasis and rupture is a rare but possible complication that should be considered because of its life-threatening nature.
一名53岁的小细胞肺癌(SCLC)女性患者因腹胀前来我院就诊。血液检查显示为快速进展的正细胞性贫血且乳酸脱氢酶水平升高。盆腔磁共振成像显示左侧卵巢肿瘤及腹水。由于其症状迅速恶化,她接受了急诊手术,术中发现为小细胞肺癌的转移性卵巢肿瘤破裂。急诊手术避免了该患者生命受到威胁的情况,随后的化疗促进了长期生存。从文献回顾中可以看出,在女性小细胞肺癌患者中,卵巢转移和破裂是一种罕见但可能出现的并发症,因其具有危及生命的性质,所以应予以考虑。
