Abstract

Pancoast Tumor Presenting as Arm Pain: Case Report
Pancoast tumor is a bronchial carcinoma which can cause upper extremity pain due to the infiltration of the lower trunk of the brachial plexus. Here, we describe a case of Pancoast tumor, a fifty years old man, presenting as upper extremity pain. The elektrophysiologic fi n dings suggested lower trunk brachial plexopathy that could not found in the earlier investigatio ns. The radiologic investigations showed tumor at the pulmonary apex at the left side. This case is reported to emphasize the importance of needle EMG in the diagnosis of brachial plexopathy and to emphasize the necessary of thinking brachial plexopathy in the patients who admit with shoulder and arm pain.



Pancoast tümörü brakial pleksus alt trunkusunun invazyonu sonucu üst ekstremite ağrısına neden olabilen bronkojenik karsinomadır. Biz, ilk bulgusu kol ağrısı olan, önceki elekro-fizyolojik incelemelerde pleksopati saptanamayan, tarafımızdan sol brakial pleksus alt trun-kus tutulumu gösterilen ve akciğere yönelik radyolojik incelemelerde sol akciğer apeksinde tümör saptanan 55 yaşında bir erkek hasta sunduk. Bu olgu ile kol ve omuz ağrısıyla başvuran hastalarda ayırıcı tanıda brakial pleksopatinin mutlaka düşünülmesi gerekliliği ile pleksopatinin tanınmasında iğne EMG'nin önemini vurgulamayı amaçladık. Sıklıkla neopla-zinin ileri evrelerinde görülen brakial pleksopatinin hastalığın ilk semptomu olarak da ortaya çıkabileceğini ve brakial pleksopati saptanan hastalarda akciğer incelemesinin yararını göstermek istedik.
