Tumor metastases rarely are reported in association with central venous catheters. The case reported herein is that of a solid tumor metastasis at the site of a previous indwelling line ipsilateral to a pleural effusion in a patient with non-small cell lung cancer. A review of the literature reveals a single case of intrathoracic malignancy seeding at the site of a central venous catheter. Other investigators are urged to collect information about the development of tumor implants at the site of catheter insertion in patients with cancer and pleural effusions to further define the extent of the problem.
肿瘤转移很少被报道与中心静脉导管相关。本文报道的病例是一名非小细胞肺癌患者，在先前留置导管同侧且伴有胸腔积液的部位发生了实体瘤转移。文献回顾显示，仅有一例胸腔内恶性肿瘤在中心静脉导管部位播散的病例。敦促其他研究者收集有关癌症和胸腔积液患者导管插入部位肿瘤种植发展情况的信息，以进一步明确该问题的严重程度。
