RESUMO

Pretende-se neste trabalho fazer uma revisão retrospectiva duma patologia, rara na sua incidência (5% de todos os tumores pleurais) e singular nas suas características, analisando na nossa casuística as formas de apresentação, terapêutica cirúrgica e resultados obtidos.

Os tumores solitários da pleura são formações neoplásicas raras, cujo comportamento biológico não é obrigatoriamente correlacionável com características imuno-histoquímicas, pois os considerados benignos apresentam um sensível índice de recidiva e metastização, independentemente do volume que apresentam.

A cirurgia é o único tratamento disponível e a excisão cirúrgica completa é decisiva para a cura.

De Agosto de 1995 a Janeiro de 2003, na casuística do Serviço de Cirurgia Cardiotorácica do Hospital de Santa Marta, foram analisados todos os doentes com o diagnóstico de tumor fibroso localizado da pleura (TFLP).

Neste contexto, identificaram-se 11 doentes com idade média de 57,54 anos, dos quais 6 do sexo feminino, em que foi colocado o diagnóstico de tumor fibroso localizado da pleura; 6 dos tumores foram classificados como malignos e 5 como benignos.

Nesta série, todos os doentes foram submetidos a intervenção cirúrgica, com técnicas variadas, sem mortalidade intra-operatória ou morbilidade intra-hospitalar significativas, apesar da dificuldade da cirurgia nos tumores mais volumosos (um dos tumores pesava 2,5 kg).

O follow up decorreu entre os 4 e os 84 meses (média – 39,4 meses).

Um doente faleceu 13 meses após a intervenção, por embolia pulmonar maciça, depois de várias crises de tromboembolismo pulmonar (sem relação determinável com a cirurgia ou a patologia base), apesar da anticoagulação iniciada e controlada na Consulta do Hospital.

ABSTRACT

We present a retrospective revision of a pathology, rare in his incidence (5% of the pleural tumours) and singular in his characteristics, analyzing the presentation forms, surgical treatment and results.

The solitary tumours of the pleura are a rare entity, whose biological behaviour is not related with immunohistochemical characteristics; although considered benign, they present sensitive recidivation index and metastization, independently of the volume that they present.

The surgery is the only available treatment, and complete surgical excision is decisive.

From August 1995 to January 2003, in the casuistry of the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery in Santa Marta’s Hospital, were analyzed all the patients with the diagnosis of localized fibrous tumour of the pleura (TFLP). In this context, were identified 11 patients with a medium age of 57,54 years old, 6 of them females, in which the diagnosis of located fibrous tumour of the pleura was established; 6 of the tumours were classified as malignant.

All the patients were submitted to surgical excision, with different techniques, without significant intra-operative mortality or intra-hospital morbidity, despite the difficulty of surgery in the most voluminous tumours (one of the tumours weight was 2,5 kg).

The follow up elapsed between 4 and 84 months (average – 39,4 months).

One patient died 13 months after the surgery, after several crises of lung embolism (that began without determinable relationship with the surgery or the initial pathology), despite the controlled ambulatory anti-coagulation.
