Different patterns of pneumothorax in patients with soft tissue tumors treated with pazopanib: A case series analysis. PLoS One 2021; 16:e0254866. [PMID: 34270626 PMCID: PMC8284672 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0254866] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2021] [Accepted: 07/05/2021] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
To investigate pneumothorax patterns in pazopanib treatment by focusing on the positional relationship between the visceral pleura and metastatic lung tumor, we examined 20 patients with advanced soft tissue tumors who developed lung metastases and underwent pazopanib treatment between 2012 and 2019. Pneumothorax was classified into two types based on the location of the metastatic lesion around the visceral pleural area before pazopanib treatment: subpleural type, within 5 mm from the pleura; and central type, >5 mm from the pleura. We investigated the rates of pneumothorax and the associated risk factors. Five patients experienced pneumothorax (three subpleural and two central types). Cavitation preceded pneumothorax in 83% of patients and led to connection of the cavitated cyst of the metastatic lesion to the chest cavity in the shorter term in patients with the subpleural type. Conversely, a more gradual increase in the cavity size and sudden cyst rupture were observed in the central type. The risk factors for pneumothorax were cavitation after initiating pazopanib and intervention before pazopanib, either ablation or surgery. The location of the metastatic lesions was not a risk factor for the occurrence of pneumothorax. In conclusion, pneumothorax is an adverse event associated with pazopanib treatment. Therefore, attention must be paid to predisposing factors such as the formation of cavitation after pazopanib initiation and previous interventions to the lungs. Moreover, because subpleural pneumothorax tends to occur earlier than the central type, a different time course can be anticipated based on the positional relationships of the metastatic lesions to the visceral pleura.

[PMID: 32302662 DOI: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2020.03.028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2019] [Revised: 02/27/2020] [Accepted: 03/09/2020] [Indexed: 10/24/2022]
Abstract
Pulmonary pneumatocele that forms immediately after pulmonary resection is extremely rare. This report describes a case of pneumatocele that formed rapidly in the left lower lobe immediately after left upper lobectomy in a patient with lung cancer and emphysema. Massive and persistent air leakage through a chest tube was noted immediately after chest closure. Therefore, the chest was reopened, and the cyst wall was incised. The air leakage point was cauterized and covered with a polyglycolic acid sheet and fibrin glue. Herein, we report a rare case of newly developed pneumatocele immediately after lobectomy.
