Pleural dissemination of pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is an extremely rare diagnosis, for which no standard therapy is available. We describe the successful treatment of a 67-year-old male diagnosed with left-sided intrapleural dissemination of PMP (low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm), 2 years after treatment of abdominal PMP with cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intra-peritoneal chemotherapy. Treatment consisted of extended pleural decortication (ePD) and oxaliplatin-based hyperthermic intrathoracic chemotherapy (HITHOC). The patient is doing well without complications or signs of recurrence, 26 months after thoracic surgery. ePD in combination with HITHOC is a valuable treatment for thoracic PMP.
腹膜假性黏液瘤(PMP)的胸膜播散是一种极为罕见的诊断,目前尚无标准的治疗方法。我们描述了一例成功治疗的病例,一名 67 岁男性,在接受腹部 PMP 的细胞减灭术(CRS)和腹腔热灌注化疗(HIPEC)治疗 2 年后,诊断为左侧胸膜内播散性 PMP(低级别阑尾黏液性肿瘤)。治疗包括广泛的胸膜剥脱术(ePD)和奥沙利铂为基础的胸腔内热化疗(HITHOC)。胸外科手术后 26 个月,患者无并发症或复发迹象,恢复良好。ePD 联合 HITHOC 是治疗胸膜 PMP 的有效方法。
