Primary pleural squamous cell carcinoma (PPSCC) is a sporadic disease that is rarely reported in the literature. Due to its low incidence, the pathogenesis of PPSCC is unknown.
We report a case of a 68-year-old male with PPSCC and sizable pulmonary bullae. Two months after complete resection of both lesions, a total dose of 50 Gy radiotherapy was administered over the operative field. After more than a year of follow-up, the patient is in steady condition without any sign of recurrence.
Since PPSCC is rarely reported, our case proposed that complete surgical resection combined with radiotherapy may be a promising therapeutic approach.
原发性胸膜鳞状细胞癌(PPSCC)是一种散发性疾病,在文献中鲜有报道。由于其发病率低,PPSCC的发病机制尚不清楚。
我们报告一例68岁男性患有PPSCC并伴有较大肺大疱。两个病变均完全切除两个月后,在手术区域给予了50 Gy的总放射剂量。经过一年多的随访,患者病情稳定,无任何复发迹象。
由于PPSCC报道较少,我们的病例表明完整的手术切除联合放疗可能是一种有前景的治疗方法。
