A unique case of malignant pleural mesothelioma presenting with highly aggressive multiple brain metastases after a long disease-free period
Öz
Malignant
pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is an uncommon, aggressive malignant neoplasm
derived from the mesothelial cells of pleura or peritoneum characterized by
poor outcome. Mesothelioma is thought to metastasize locally only via
direct invasion and not have distant spread. Distant metastases are
discovered mostly on post-mortem examination. However, recent post-mortem
studies have identified metastases to the central nervous system
(CNS) in about 3% of cases. A 55 year old patient presented with agressive multiple
brain metastases after 4 years from the initial diagnosis. Palliative cranial
radiotherapy was given because of unresectability of the lesions. The patient
died 3 months after completion of radiotherapy. Distant metastase patern is not
predictable in this disease, thus attention should be paid on the high-risk
factors at initial presentation to prevent systemic relapses. Multimodality
therapies have been produced longer survival times in this disease; clinicians
should perform careful screening for brain metastasis in MPM, especially in
patients with risk factors including younger age, advanced stage and
non-epithelioid features.

Agresif multipl beyin metastazları ile uzun süre hastalıksız izlem sonrası başvuran ender bir malign plevral mezotelyoma olgusu
Öz
Malign plevral mezotelyoma (MPM) nadir görülen plevra ya da
peritondaki mezotelyal hücrelerden köken alan, kötü prognozlu, nadir ve agresif bir malign neoplazidir.
Mezotelyomanın sadece lokal direkt invazyon yolu ile lokal olarak metastaz
yaptığı; uzak yayılım yapmadığı düşünülmektedir. Uzak metastazlar post mortem
incelemeler sonucu ortaya çıkmaya başlamıştır. Son zamanlarda yapılan post
mortem çalışmalarda %3 vakada santral sinir sistemi metastazları
bildirilmiştir. 55 yaşında hasta ilk tanısından 4 yıl sonra çoklu agresif beyin
metastazları ile başvurdu. Rezeksiyona uygun olmayan lezyonlar nedeniyle palyatif kraniyal radyoterapi verildi.
Radyoterapinin tamamlanmasından 3 ay sonra hasta kaybedildi. Bu hastalıkta uzak
metastaz paterni öngörülebilir olmadığı için,
sistemik relapsları önlemede ilk tanı esnasında yüksek risk faktörlerine
dikkat edilmelidir. Multimodal tedaviler bu hastalıkta daha uzun sağkalım
sağlayabilmektedir. Klinisyenler MPM’de özellikle erken yaş, ileri evre ve epiteloid dışı özellikleri bulunan hastalarda beyin metastazı için dikkatli tarama
yapmalıdırlar.
