title: [Pancoast tumor with rheumatic symptoms without Pancost's syndrome--case report].
abstract: About 5% of pulmonary lesions are the apical lung tumors, which can be divided in tumors producing and non-producing Pancoast's syndrome. The authors present a case of a 45-year-old male with ambulatory non-diagnosed Pancoast tumor demonstrating with rheumatic symptoms without typical signs of Pancoast's syndrome. Performing a routine chest X-ray after complete treatment of pulmonary inflammatory diseases, as well as in rheumatic disorders was proved fundamental.
