摘要
我们报告一例75岁男性胸膜积液和石棉暴露的职业史。氟脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描-计算机断层扫描(FDG- pet /CT)检查显示FDG沿胸膜吸收,导致初步怀疑胸膜间皮瘤。诊断性胸膜活检病理表现为上皮样细胞肉芽肿。反复痰培养细胞内分枝杆菌阳性。诊断为由非结核分枝杆菌(NTM)引起的胸膜炎。NTM应被认为是胸膜炎的潜在病因。
[A CASE OF NON-TUBERCULOUS MYCOBACTERIOSIS WITH PLEURAL EFFUSION AND THICKENING IN A PATIENT WITH AN OCCUPATIONAL HISTORY OF ASBESTOS EXPOSURE].
We report a case of a 75-year-old man with pleural effusion and an occupational history of asbestos exposure. Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) examination revealed FDG up-takes along his pleura, leading to an initial suspicion of pleural mesothelioma. Pathological findings of a diagnostic video-associated pleural biopsy showed epithelioid cell granuloma. Repeated sputum cultures were positive for Mycobacterium intracellulare. The patient was diagnosed with pleuritis caused by non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). NTM should be considered a potential cause of pleuritis.
