Thoracoscopic Management of Fibrous Dysplasia: First Experience in Turkey

Abstract

Fibrous dysplasia is a osseous pathology and bone structure is replaced by fibro-osseous tissue. Our patient was a 36-year-old female with a complaint of swelling on the right side of chest for seven years. A magnetic resonance imaging of the thorax showed a mass measuring 86x28 mm in diameter in the right anterolateral chest wall that was marked after intravenous administration of contrast medium. The mass was removed by thoracoscopic technique. Histopathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of fibrous dysplasia. We believe that video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery will be main procedure for the surgical management of fibrous dysplasia of ribs in next years.

Fibröz Displazinin Torakoskopik Tedavisi: Türkiye’de İlk Tecrübe

Abstract

Fibröz displazi bir kemik patolojisidir ve kemik yapı fibro-oseos doku ile yer değiştirmiştir. Bizim hastamız, yedi yıldır göğüs kafesinin sağ tarafında bir şişlik şikâyeti olan bir bayan hastaydı. Toraks MR görüntülemesi, intravenöz kontrast madde sonrası belirginleşen, toraksın sağ anterolateralinde 86x28 mm çapında kitle gösterdi. Kitle torakoskopik teknikle çıkarıldı. Histopatolojik inceleme sonucu, fibröz displazi olarak geldi. Biz, gelecek yıllarda, kaburgaların fibröz displazisinin cerrahi tedavisinde, video-yardımlı torakoskopik cerrahinin asıl prosedür olacağına inanıyoruz.
