Resumen
Se presenta el caso de un paciente al cual se le diagnosticó un tumor de Pancoast en el Hospital Neumológico Benéfico Jurídico. Esta enfermedad neoplásica no metastásica es la que más comúnmente compromete el plexo braquial de ahí que deba hacerse el diagnóstico diferencial del hombro doloroso, condición clínica esta con la cual es admitido en nuestro centro. Posteriormente se continuó su estudio y la sospecha clínica fue respaldada por tomografía computarizada y resonancia magnética para posteriormente ser confirmada a través del estudio anatomopatológico.
Abstract
We described a patient who was diagnosed with a Pancoast tumor in the Neumológico Benéfico Jurídico Hospital. This neoplastic non metastatic disease more frequently affects the brachial plexus. Therefore, a differential diagnosis of the painful shoulder was carried out and the patient was admitted in our center with the probable Pancoast tumor diagnosis. Subsequently, its study continued and the clinical suspicion was confirmed by a computerized tomography and a magnetic resonance, to be also confirmed later on with an anatomopathological study.
