Background: Metastatic carcinomas to the upper jaw region are very rare and unfortunately occur in advanced stages of malignancies. Pancoast tumor is a challenging subset of lung carcinoma commonly followed by distant metastasis. Since the metastatic lesion of our patient was very huge and unusual, we decided to report the case. Case Presentation: Our patient was a middle-aged heavy smoker mal...

Pancoast syndrome consists of signs and symptoms resulting from a tumor affecting the pulmonary apex and adjacent structures. The process is typically caused by a neoplasm. The majority of cases of Pancoast syndrome are caused by bronchogenic carcinoma. The most commonly found histologic subtypes are adenocarcinoma and epidermoid carcinoma. There have been very few reports of small cell lung ca...

В статье описываются этапы формирования современных представлений об опухоли Панкоста (Pancoast tumor), клинически проявляющейся болевым синдромом и глазными расстройствами. Утвердившийся эпоним синдрома включает имя американского рентгенолога Г.К. (H.K. Pancoast), подробно описавшего клинико-рентгенологическую семиотику давшего ей название «опухоль верхней легочной борозды» ("superior pulmonar...

Patient with Pancoast Tumor usually present in advanced stage of the disease which requires chemotherapy and radiotherapy as options of treatment. Histologic confirmation is a key for further treatment of these patients. Normally in bronchoscopy the lesion can't be visualised and in result making biopsy difficult to perform. Transthoracic biopsy through computed tomography poses anatomic diffic...

Pancoast tumors account for less than 5% of all bronchogenic carcinomas. These tumors are located in the apex of the lung and involve through tissue contiguity the apical chest wall and/or the structures of the thoracic inlet. The tumors become clinically evident with the characteristic symptoms of the "Pancoast-Tobias syndrome" which includes Claude-Bernard-Horner syndrome, severe pain in the ...

200 words] Traditional treatment of Pancoast tumor with local approaches – surgery, radiotherapy, or a combination of both, leads to poor outcome because of high rate of uncomplete resection and lack of systemic control. Aim of the present prospective feasibility study was to determine whereas a trimodality approach improves local control and survival. Patients with stage IIB to IIIB Pancoast t...
