The most common tumors causing pleural metastasis in women are gynecological cancers, with breast cancer at the top of the list. However, the revelation of the latter by pleural effusion is rare. We report the case of a 61-year-old woman, with a history of well-controlled asthma since the age of 20, who was initially consulted for dyspnea stage III of the Modified Medical Research Council score (mMRC). Chest X-ray showed moderate bilateral pleural effusion. The pleural biopsy concluded with a pleural metastasis of breast carcinoma.
在女性中,引起胸膜转移的最常见肿瘤是妇科癌症,其中乳腺癌位居榜首。然而,通过胸腔积液发现后者的情况很少见。我们报告一例61岁女性病例,该患者自20岁起哮喘病情得到良好控制,最初因改良医学研究委员会评分(mMRC)III期呼吸困难前来就诊。胸部X线显示双侧中等量胸腔积液。胸膜活检确诊为乳腺癌胸膜转移。
