El carcinoma pulmonar de células pequeñas (CPCP) se presenta infrecuentemente como nódulo pulmonar solitaro (NPS). Su expresión en forma de nódulos pulmonares múltiples resulta desconocida en la bibliografía médica. Describimos un caso único de presentación de CPCP como nódulos pulmonares múltiples con curación aparente con quimioterapia.
Palabras clave:
Células pequeñas
Carcinoma pulmonar
Nódulos pulmonares múltiples
Small cell carcinoma of the lung occasionally presents as a single pulmonary nodule, but its expression in the form of multiple pulmonary nodules has not been reported in the literature. We describe a single case of small cell carcinoma of the lung presenting as múltiple pulmonary nodules that seems to have been cured by chemotheraphy.
Key words:
Carcinoma, small cell
Lung neoplasms
Multiple pulmonary nodules
