Seudotumor inflamatorio pulmonar: presentación de 2 casos y revisión de la literatura
2011
Primary lung tumours in children are rare, the most common lesions seen in clinical practice are metastatic disease. The majority of children who present with a primary or secondary pulmonary malignancy will present coincidentally while seeking attention for another medical problem, or with non-specific abnormalities such as cough with collapse or consolidation on the chest x-ray. Primary malignant tumours of the lung are the most common, this group is made up of carcinoid tumours, bronchogenic carcinoma and pleuropulmonary blastoma. Benign primary pulmonary tumours are inflammatory pseudotumour or plasma cell granuloma and hamartoma. Often, the possibility of a primary or secundary pulmonary tumour is considered only when radiographic abnormalities or symptoms persist or fail to respond to therapy, many children are asymptomatic until they have advanced disease, which delays diagnosis even further. The aim of this article is show our experience of two patients with inflammatory pseudotumour and literature review. Los tumores pulmonares primarios en ninos son muy poco frecuentes, siendo mas reportadas las lesiones metatasicas. La mayoria de los pacientes que presentan un tumor pulmonar ya sea primario o secundario, son hallazgos de algun examen generalmente imagenologico, como parte del estudio de otras causas o en presencia de sintomas inespecificos como tos asociada a atelectasia o condensacion. Los tumores pulmonares primarios malignos son los mas frecuentes, comprenden el tumor carcinoide, carcinoma broncogenico y blastoma pleuropulmonar. Los tumores pulmonares primarios benignos son el seudotumor inflamatorio (sTi) o granuloma de celulas plasmaticas y el hamartoma. Se debe tener un alto indice de sospecha en el diagnostico de tumor pulmonar primario o secundario, frente a la persistencia de sintomas o si presenta una lesion en la radiografia de torax que no se modifica o invade localmente a otros tejidos adyacentes a pesar del tratamiento. El objetivo de este articulo es mostrar nuestra experiencia de 2 pacientes portadores de sTi y hacer una revision de la literatura.
