Abstract

Venous
thromboembolism (VTE) consists of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary
embolism (PE). The annual incidence of VTE in the general population is 117 per
100000. VTE is an important cause of morbidity and mortality. The incidence of
cancer-associated VTE is higher and the results are more dramatic. Stomach cancer
is the sixth most common type of cancer that causes death. The most common
histological subtype of stomach cancer is adenocarcinoma. Stomach cancer is the
third type of cancer that has the highest risk of cancer related
thromboembolism after pancreatic and lung cancer. The main treatment in cancer
related VTE is low molecular weight heparin (LMWH). The aim of this case report
is to present a 76 years old male patient with stomach cancer, synchronous
venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, who underwent surgery under LMWH
treatment.

Senkron Derin Ven Trombozu ve Pulmoner Embolisi Olan Mide Kanserli Hasta: Olgu Sunumu

Abstract

Venöz tromboemboli (VTE), derin ven trombozu
(DVT) ve pulmoner emboli (PE)’den oluşur. VTE’nin genel popülasyonda yıllık
görülme oranı her 100.000’de 117’dir. VTE önemli bir morbidite ve mortalite
kaynağıdır. Kanserle ilişkili gelişen VTE’nin görülme insidansı daha fazladır
ve sonuçları daha dramatiktir. Mide kanseri en sık görülen ve ölüme yol açan
altıncı kanser tipidir. Mide kanserinin en sık görülen histolojik subtipi
adenokarsinomdur. Mide kanseri, pankreas ve akciğer kanserinden sonra kansere
bağlı tromboemboli riski en yüksek olan üçüncü kanser tipidir. Kansere bağlı
gelişen VTE’de esas tedavi düşük molekül ağırlıklı heparindir (DMAH). Bu vaka
takdiminin amacı; DMAH tedavisi altında ameliyat edilen, 76 yaşında, senkron
venöz trombozu ve pulmoner embolisi olan mide kanserli erkek hastayı sunmaktır.
