ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES: To determine prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection in a group of symptomatic patients between 2 and 18 years old who were submitted to gastric biopsy during upper endoscopy done in the period of 1990-97. To correlate the histological findings with clinical and endoscopical data. METHODS: A cross-sectional study done after review of clinical and histopathological data. Histopathological sections were reviewed by a pathologist, who did not know the clinical information and the previous histopathological reports. RESULTS: Among 181 patients evaluated, prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection was 24.86% (45 positive cases). In pathological analysis, gastritis was found in 38/45 of the positive Helicobacter pylori patients and in 45/136 negative Helicobacter pylori. Gastric ulceration was found in 6/45 positive Helicobacter pylori and in 3/136 negative Helicobacter pylori. CONCLUSION: This study stated a significative association between Helicobacter pylori infection and pathological abnormalities in children evaluated in the "Hospital de Clinicas de Porto Alegre", RS, Brazil.

As lesöes mucinosas da trompa de Fallopio compreendem uma grande quantidade de processos que incluem metaplasia mucinosa, cistadenoma mucinoso, tumores mucinosos com bixo potencial de malignidade (tumores mucinosos "boderline") e adenocarcinoma mucinoso. As neoplasias mucinosas benignas primárias da trompa de Fallopio säo estremamente raras. Há poucos casos descritos na literatura mundial, e o grande interesse gira em torno da possível associaçäo destas, com neoplasias múltiplas do trato genital, lesöes mucinosas do apêndice e síndrome de Peutz-Jeghers. O presente relato descreve a ocorrência de um cistadenoma mucinoso primário de trompa de Fallopio em uma paciente de 50 anos, menopausada há dois anos, cujo cisto foi identificado inicialmente como de ovário, por ecografia transvaginal, realizada para investigaçäo de um sangramento vaginal. A paciente foi submetida a laparotomia exploradora e teve o diagnóstico feito por exame transoperatório de congelaçäo, confirmado posteriormente por exame anatomopatológico convencional
