RESUMO

Os autores relatam um caso clínico de Schwanoma maligno intratorácico num doente com exposição·prévia a sílica, acompanhado de derrame pleural hemático.

Trata-se de um tumor raro sobretudo quando acompanhado de derrame pleural.

Estudos realizados “in vitro” demonstraram uma possivcl relação entre Schwanoma maligno e silísca.

Este caso clínico, poderá eventualmente confirmar “in vivo”. tal conto estudos “in vitro” demonstraram, o possívl efeito da silica sobre o desenvolvimento de alguns shwanomas maloignos.

ABSTRACT

The authors present a case report of an intrathoracic malingnant schwanoma in a patient with a Previous silica exposure, with pleural effusion.

It’s a rare tumour specially when it happen with pleural effusion.

There are some studies, that shows a probably relationship between malignant schwanoma and silica. According with this case report, exposure to silica could be the mechanism responsible for the development of some malignant schwanomas, as the work notice “in vitro”.
