ABSTRACT

La afectación primaria del tracto genital femenino de los linfomas no Hodgkin es poco frecuente (2 por ciento de los linfomas primarios extraganglionares). Los órganos más afectados son los ovarios seguidos del cérvix, siendo la localización endometrial y vaginal extremadamente rara. Presentamos el caso de una paciente de 44 años diagnosticada de linfoma primario de vagina, estadio IE A, con remisión completa tras tratamiento combinado quimioterápico y quirúrgico. Es importante tener presente estas raras aunque posibles localizaciones de linfomas para evitar que se puedan confundir con lesiones inflamatorias u otros tipos de tumores que nos lleven a un fracaso terapéutico.


Primary non-Hodgkin lymphomas rarely involve the female genital tract (2 percent of primary extranodal lym-phomas). The ovaries followed by the cervix are the most common affected sites while the involvement of the endometrium and vagina is extremely rare. We report the case of a 44 year old woman with a primary lymphoma of the vagina, stage IE A, with complete remission after combined chemotherapy and surgical treatment. These rare but possible locations must be kept in mind to avoid misdiagnosis with inflammatory lesions or other types of tumors which may lead us to a therapeutic failure.

ABSTRACT

El carcinoma sarcomatoide de mama es una variante histológica del carcinoma metaplásico, compuesto predominantemente por células fusiformes. Presentamos el caso de un tumor en mujer de 54 años, en que las características clínicas y de imagen sugerían un tumor maligno, y finalmente la histología y la inmuno-histoquímica confirmaron el diagnóstico de carcinoma sarcomatoide monofásico. En esta variante no es posible identificar un componente epitelial claro, por lo que plantea problemas de diagnóstico diferencial con sarcomas y otras lesiones mesenquimatosas. La demostración mediante inmunohistoquímica de la naturaleza epitelial de las células fusiformes, resultó fundamental para establecer el diagnóstico.


Sarcomatoid carcinoma of the breast is a histological variant of metaplastic carcinoma, composed predominantly of spindle cells. We report a case of a tumor in a woman of 54 years old, which suggested a clinical and radiological malignant tumor. Finally the histology and immunohistochemistry confirmed the diagnostic of monophasic sarcomatoid carcinoma. In this variant of sarcomatoid carcinoma, is not possible to identify a clear epithelial component, creating problems of differential diagnosis between sarcomas and other mesenchymal damages. The immunohistochemical demonstration of epithelial nature of the spindle cells was essential for the diagnosis.
