ABSTRACT
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a pathology that generates great personal, family, economic and social impact. There are two main etiologies that are traumatic (T-SCI) and non-traumatic (NTSCI). These patients receive their rehabilitation in specialized hospital services in the acute and sub-acute phase. A retrospective, descriptive, observational study was designed, reviewing the clinical records of patients diagnosed with SCI at discharge, hospitalized in the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Service of the Clinical Hospital of the University of Chile. The general profile of admission of patients with SCI was a young men with NT- SCI, with higher education, paid work and incomplete injury (ASIA B, C, D). An improvement was observed for all patients for the severity of the injury, neurological level, motor level, sensory level and functionality. This is the first study conducted nationwide that provides epidemiological data and functional evolution of patients with SCI and are comparable to those found in the international literature. (AU)

La presencia de "células en anillo de sello" en el tejido ovárico es el marcador histológico clásico del tumor de Krukenberg. Un adenocarcinoma metastásico altamente agresivo y de baja sobrevida. En cambio, los fibromas ováricos son tumores del estroma generalmente benignos. Presentamos un caso muy infrecuente de fibroma celular con presencia de células en anillo de sello y revisamos los criterios para el diagnóstico diferencial con el tumor de Krukenberg.
The presence of signet-ring cells in ovarian tissue is classically described as histological marker of Krukenberg tumor. It is highly aggressive metastatic adenocarcinoma with low survival. In contrast, ovarian fibroid is a stromal tumor usually benign. We present a very rare case of cellular fibroma with presence of signet-ring cells and we review the criteria for differential diagnosis of Krukenberg tumor.

Presentamos un caso muy poco frecuente de mioma extrauterino, localizado en la trompa de Falopio derecha, en su porción media. A la inspección y anatomía patológica, no se encontraron evidencias de dependencia alguna con el útero. Constituyó un hallazgo en una mujer sometida a cirugía abdomino-pélvica debido a infertilidad primaria y dolor abdominal derecho. Los estudios previos con ultrasonido identificaron una imagen compatible con un mioma subseroso grande y pediculado...
We present a rare case of extrauterine fibroid, located in the right fallopian tube in middle portion. The inspection and pathological study not found evidences of any dependence with uterus. It was a finding in a woman undergoing abdominal-pelvic surgery because of a primary infertility and right abdominal pain. Previous studies with ultrasound identified an image support a large pedicle subserous myoma...
