EP1.01-73 - Trousseau's Syndrome Associated with Pulmonary Pleomorphic Carcinoma Showing Aggressive Features: A Case Report (Now Available) (ID 3122)
08:00 - 18:00 | Author(s): Tatsuo Furuya
- Abstract
Background
Trousseau's syndrome is characterized as an unexpected cancer-related thrombotic event, such as a cerebral infarction or a deep vein thrombosis/pulmonary embolism. The histology of most reported cases of lung cancer with Trousseau's syndrome involves adenocarcinoma. We describe the first reported case of Trousseau's syndrome with pulmonary pleomorphic carcinoma and aggressive features.
Method
A 74-year-old man, a current heavy smoker (38 pack-years), presented with a well-circumscribed peripheral mass (diameter: 38 mm) in the lower lobe of the left lung. A fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron-emission tomography scan showed a strong accumulation of FDG in the mass. Serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and D-dimer levels were 16.0 ng/mL and 0.6 µg/mL, respectively. A left lower lobectomy with systemic mediastinal lymph node dissection revealed the tumor was pleomorphic carcinoma with extensive lymph node involvement and was graded as pT3N2M0, pStage IIIB (pm1, pl1, ly1, v1, br+). The tumor mainly comprised giant cells with high-grade pleomorphism, admixed with a solid adenocarcinoma component and papillary growth pattern. The adenocarcinoma component was positive for periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) stain and resistant to diastase, suggesting mucin production. Moreover, most of the tumor cells were strongly positive for tissue factor (clone TF (H-9)).
Result
Three months postoperatively, diffuse infiltration rapidly appeared in plain chest radiographs of the left lung, which was identified as lymphangitic carcinomatosis via bronchoscopy. Prior to treatment for cancer recurrence, the patient suddenly presented with dysarthria and left hemiplegia. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed acute ischemic stroke in the right hemisphere accompanied with subacute small infarcts in the left hemisphere and bilateral cerebellum. Magnetic resonance angiography revealed a right middle cerebral artery M2 segment occlusion. An echography and a chest CT showed no evidence of atherosclerotic thrombus or cardiac thrombus in the left atrium or in the stump of the resected pulmonary vein. Plasma D-dimer level was elevated at 17.6 µg/mL, as were the CEA and carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) levels (73.4 ng/mL and 331 U/mL), respectively. He underwent mechanical thrombectomy with a stent retriever, and partial recanalization was achieved. The pathology of the retrieved thrombus showed that almost all parts consisted of fibrin without red blood cells. These findings and pathological findings of the primary lung cancer suggested Trousseau’s syndrome as the etiology of the cerebral infarction.
Conclusion
A hypercoagulable state, due to aggressive recurrence of pulmonary pleomorphic carcinoma accompanying with cancer cell production of mucin and tissue factor, may be a potential mechanism for cancer-related thrombosis.

EP1.16-29 - Clinical Characteristics and Outcomes of Postoperative Empyema Following Lung Surgery (Now Available) (ID 1645)
08:00 - 18:00 | Author(s): Tatsuo Furuya
- Abstract
Background
Postoperative empyema prolongs hospital-stay durations and may lead to mortality. However, clinical risk factors for postoperative empyema have been insufficiently investigated. This study explored the relevant characteristics and outcomes of postoperative empyema after lung surgery.
Method
A retrospective study of 16 cases of postoperative empyema after lung surgery between April 2008 and December 2018 was conducted. The inclusion criteria were patients who had fever and bacterial pleural effusion confirmed by culture within the first 30 postoperative days. Preoperative patient characteristics, operative findings, and postoperative course were evaluated.
Result
There were eight cases of empyema with fistula (six with pulmonary fistula and two with bronchopleural fistula) and eight without fistula. Patients included 15 men and one woman. Median (range) age, body mass index, and Brinkman index were 68 (20-84) years, 22.9 (14.5-27) kg/m2, and 650 (0-2320), respectively. Nine patients were operatively diagnosed with primary lung cancer (p-stage I, three cases; p-stage ≥II, six), six with metastatic lung cancer, and one with pneumothorax. Co-morbidities included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (eight cases; incidence, 50%); diabetes mellitus (five cases; 31%), and history of preoperative chemotherapy (seven cases; 44%). Operative procedures were as follows: two pneumonectomies, five lobectomies, two segmentectomies, six wedge resections, and one bulla suturing. Surgical approaches included 12 thoracoscopic surgeries and four open thoracotomies. Median (range) operative time and bleeding volume was 219 (92-739) minutes and 21 (0-1400) g, respectively. Surgery-to-empyema-onset duration was 12 (4-30) days. Before empyema onset, postoperative complications developed in 14 cases (88%) as follows: four, surgical-site infection; four, prolonged pulmonary air leak; two, pneumonia; two, bronchopleural fistula; one, both prolonged pulmonary air leak and surgical-site infection; and one, both pneumonia and surgical-site infection. Organisms cultured from empyema cases included Staphylococcus aureus (12 cases; MRSA, one), oral resident bacteria (three), and others (one). Postoperatively, five cases required treatment with antibiotics only; five, both antibiotics and chest drainage; and six, surgery with the aforementioned treatments. Surgical procedures for empyema included thoracoscopic debridement and/or pleural irrigation (four cases) and fenestration (two cases). The hospital-stay duration after first surgery was 30 (12-99) days. There were no postoperative mortalities.
Conclusion
Diabetes mellitus, preoperative chemotherapy, and COPD could be significant risk factors for postoperative empyema. Infecting organisms associated with postoperative empyema were related to preceding postoperative complications. Therefore, emphasis on controlling factors that contribute to pulmonary and surgical-site infection and pulmonary air leak is important to prevent postoperative empyema.

P1.18-07 - Postoperative Complications and Long-Term Survival Among Octogenarians Treated Surgically for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (ID 320)
09:45 - 18:00 | Author(s): Tatsuo Furuya
- Abstract
Background
Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a very common disease in the elderly population and its incidence in this particular population is expected to increase further. The purpose of this study is to evaluatesafety and outcome in octogenarians treated surgically for non-small cell lung cancer.
Method
225 patients with non-small cell lung cancer have undergone surgical treatment between January 2014 and June 2018. We reviewed 38 (16.9%) consecutive patients over 80 years old. We evaluate safety and postoperative complications of surgical treatment among octogenarians compared to patients under 79 years old. As for long-term survival, we reviewed 69 consecutive octogenarian treated surgically for non-small cell lung cancer (pathological stage IA: 32 cases, IB: 24 cases, over IIA: 12 cases) between January 2007 and June 2014.
Result
26 patients (68.4%) have undergone lobectomy and 15 of these patients have undergone mediastinal lymph node dissection. 20 patients (55.6%) were pathological stage IA. As for postoperative complications, 7 cases (18.4%) were prolonged air leak, 1 respiratory failure (emergent thoracotomy due to glottic edema), 1 exacerbation of interstitial pneumonia and 1 chylothorax. There was no significant difference between octogenarians and patients under 79 years old in complications. Five-year survival rate of overall octogenarians, pathological stage IA and stage IB were 55.1%, 67.7% and 43.0%, respectively. 22 cases died in the observation period, and 8 patients died postoperatively due to recurrence of lung cancer. 14 patients (63.6%) died from other diseases without recurrence of lung cancer.
Conclusion
Surgical treatment for non-small cell lung cancer to octogenarians is a safe modality. assessment of the surgical indication and procedure is the most important because of high mortality due to other diseases.
