Thoracic Outlet Syndrome Caused by Hodgkin's Lymphoma - Case Report
Authored by Marcelo Josa da
Silva de Magalhaes*
The neurogenic thoracic outlet
syndrome (TOS) is a term used to describe symptoms of neurovascular compression
in the cervical and superior thoracic regions. TOS presents a variety of
etiologies, whether benign or malignant, idiopathic or secondary to a primary
disease. Imaging exams play an important role in diagnosis and treatment
consists of surgical intervention or conservative management. The authors show
the case of a young 30 years old woman who presented a tumor in the left
supraclavicular fossa region and upper limb irradiated pain ipsilateral to the
lesion, compatible with TOS. Cervical region computed tomography scan has
revealed numerous nodular lesions with a well- defined contour adjacent to the
brachial plexus. The patient underwent surgery and the biopsy result revealed
Hodgkin's Lymphoma (LH). Therefore, this work discuss the TOS caused by LH in
the supraclavicular fossa region, its consequences, as well as the diagnostic
investigation and the surgical treatment.
