ABSTRACT

Abstract Background Most endometrial cancers (75%) are diagnosed in early stages (stages I and II), in which abnormal uterine bleeding is the most frequent clinical sign.When the diagnosis is performed in stage IV, the most common sites of metastasis are the lungs, liver and bones. Central nervous system (CNS)metastasis is a rare condition. The aim of this study is to describe a case of uterine papillary serous adenocarcinoma of the endometrium that progressed to brain and bone metastases. Case Report We present the case of a 56-year-old woman with abnormal uterine bleeding and endometrial thickened echo (1.8 cm). A hysteroscopy with biopsy was performed, which identified poor differentiated serous adenocarcinoma of the endometrium. A total abdominal hysterectomy, with pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy, was performed. Analysis of the surgical specimen revealed a grade III uterine papillary serous adenocarcinoma. Adjuvant radio/chemotherapy (carboplatin and paclitaxel-six cycles) was indicated. Sixteen months after the surgery, the patient began to complain of headaches. Brain magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated an expansile mass in the right parietal lobe, suggesting a secondary hematogenous implant subsequently confirmed by biopsy. She underwent surgery for treatment of brain metastasis, followed by radiotherapy. She died 12 months after the brain metastasis diagnosis due to disease progression. Conclusion Uterine papillary serous adenocarcinoma of the endometrium has a low propensity to metastasize to the brain. To the best of our knowledge, this is the fifth documented case of uterine papillary serous adenocarcinoma of the endometrium with metastasis to the CNS.


Resumo Fundamentos A maioria dos cânceres de endométrio (75%) é diagnosticada em estágios iniciais (estágios I e II), nos quais o sangramento uterino anormal é o sinalclínico mais frequente. Quando o diagnóstico é realizado no estágio IV, os locais mais comuns de metástase são os pulmões, o fígado e os ossos. A metástase para o sistema nervoso central (SNC) é uma condição rara. O objetivo deste estudo é descrever um caso de adenocarcinoma seroso-papilífero do endométrio que progrediu para metástases cerebral e óssea. Relato de Caso Apresentamos o caso de uma mulher de 56 anos com sangramento uterino anormal e eco endometrial espessado (1,8 cm). Foi realizada histeroscopia com biópsia que identificou adenocarcinoma seroso-papilífero pouco diferenciado do endométrio. Uma histerectomia abdominal total, com linfadenectomia pélvica e para-aórtica, foi realizada. A análise da peça cirúrgica revelou adenocarcinoma seroso-papilífero do endométrio grau III. Radioterapia adjuvante/quimioterapia (carboplatina e paclitaxel- seis ciclos) foi indicada.Dezesseismeses após a cirurgia, a paciente começou a se queixar de dores de cabeça. A ressonância magnética cerebral demonstrou uma massa expansiva no lobo parietal direito, sugerindo um implante hematogênico secundário posteriormente confirmado por biópsia. A paciente foi submetida a cirurgia para tratamento de metástase cerebral, seguida de radioterapia. A paciente morreu 12 meses após o diagnóstico de metástase cerebral devido à progressão da doença. Conclusão O adenocarcinoma seroso-papilífero do endométrio tem uma baixa propensão a metastizar para o cérebro. Até onde sabemos, este é o quinto caso documentado de adenocacinoma seroso-papilífero do endométrio com metástase para o SNC.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Introduction: Video endoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy - VEIL - has emerged as an alternative to reduce post-surgical complications (PSC) in patients with penile cancer submitted to inguinal lymphadenectomy (IL). In some series, these PSC are observed in more than 50% of patients. The objectives of the present study are to describe the initial experience of VEIL in a Hospital in Teresina, PI, Brazil, and to analyze PSC incidence. Material and Methods: Retrospective descriptive study of patients submitted to VEIL from March 2014 to November 2015. Data were collected regarding surgical time, bleeding, complications, lymph node number, conversion, global complications, drainage time, cellulitis, lymphocele, cutaneous necrosis, miocutaneous necrosis and hospitalization time. Results: 20 lower limbs of 11 patients were operated. Mean age was 51.4 (24-72) years. Mean surgical time was 85 (60-120) minutes. No patient showed intrasurgical complications, bleeding > 50 mL or conversion. Three surgeries evolved with lower limb edema, 2 with lymphoceles and one patient had cutaneous necrosis and another bulging of surgical wound. Mean time of hospitalization was 4 (2-11) days. A mean of 5.8 (1-12) lymph nodes were dissected in each surgery. Conclusion: VEIL is a safe and easy technique with lower incidence of PSC that can be reproduced in small centers.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To evaluate the benefit of radiotherapy planning, involving the use of surgical clips in conservative treatment of earlystage breast cancer. Methods: Retrospective cohort. Twelve (12) breast cancer female patients were retrospectively evaluated. These women had undergone breast-conserving treatment in which the tumor bed had been demarcated with titanium 200 surgical clips to guide breast boost radiotherapy. Volumes were calculated. Radiotherapy planning in the same patient with boost dose guided by metal clips was compared to planning guided by surgical scar or by imaging tests prior to surgical treatment. Results: A reduction of 36.7% in total volume of the irradiated breast (p=0.022), a reduction of 55.7% in boost volume (p=0.001), a reduction of 35.9% (p=0.001) in the breast volume receiving the prescribed boost dose and a reduction of 4.5% (p=0.014) in the maximum dose applied to the lung were shown. Conclusions: Clip placement in surgical bed following conservative treatment for breast cancer determined a reduction of 36.7% in irradiated breast volume and use of a lower dose of irradiation.


Objetivo: Avaliar o benefício do planejamento radioterápico, envolvendo o uso de clipes cirúrgicos em tratamento conservador de estágio inicial de câncer de mama. Métodos: coorte retrospectiva. Doze (12) pacientes do sexo feminino com câncer de mama foram avaliadas retrospectivamente. Estas mulheres foram submetidas a tratamento conservador da mama em que o leito do tumor foi demarcado com grampos cirúrgicos de titânio 200 para orientar a radioterapia de mama. Os volumes foram calculados. O planejamento de radioterapia no mesmo paciente com dose de reforço guiada por clipes metálicos foi comparado ao planejamento guiado por cicatriz cirúrgica ou por exames de imagem antes do tratamento cirúrgico. Resultados: Foram observadas uma redução de 36,7% no volume total da mama irradiada (p = 0,022), uma redução de 55,7% no volume do reforço (p = 0,001), uma redução de 35,9% (p = 0,001) no volume mamário recebendo a dose de reforço prescrita e uma redução de 4,5% (p = 0,014) na dose máxima aplicada ao pulmão. Conclusões: A colocação do clipe no leito cirúrgico após tratamento conservador para câncer de mama determinou uma redução de 36,7% no volume mamário irradiado e o uso de menor dose de irradiação

ABSTRACT

Polymastia is a rare condition that is present in 1 to 5% of the population. Clinically, it is characterized by the presence of two or more breasts, which can occur in males or females. The condition may appear with or without the presence of extra nipples, which is termed polythelia. Bilateral presentation is uncommon. Here we report a case of a patient who had more than one pair of breasts and extra nipples which were surgically corrected

ABSTRACT

Objective: To evaluate the survival of a series of patients with Paget's disease of the breast. Methods: Observational, retrospective and descriptive study. Data were collected through electronic medical records; the following variables were obtained: age, tumor histology, tumor size, degree of differentiation, lymphatic invasion, vascular invasion, neural invasion, presence or not of potential involvement of axillary lymph nodes, immunohistochemical profile, treatments performed, recurrence, and follow-up. Results: Of the 301 cases of assisted breast cancer, six patients were identified with Paget's disease of the breast. The overall survival, with a mean follow-up of 54 months, was 100%. All individuals are free of disease activity. The most common histochemical profile was negative for estrogen and progesterone receptors, and positive for HER-2/neu. Axillary and/or distal metastatic involvement was not identified. Conclusions: Overall survival was 100%, with a mean follow-up of 54 months. This high rate is due to the absence of axillary and/or distal metastatic involvement in our series.


Objetivos: Avaliar a sobrevida de uma série de pacientes com doença de Paget na mama. Métodos: Estudo observacional, retrospectivo, descritivo. Foram coletados os dados através de prontuário eletrônico e obtidas as seguintes variáveis: idade, histologia do tumor, tamanho do tumor, grau de diferenciação, invasão linfática, invasão vascular, invasão neural, presença ou não de comprometimento de linfonodos axilares, perfil imunoistoquímico, tratamentos realizados, recidiva e seguimento. Resultados: Dos 301 casos de câncer de mama atendidos, foram identificadas 6 pacientes com doença de Paget na mama. A sobrevida global, com um seguimento médio de 54 meses, foi de 100%. Todas estão sem doença em atividade. O perfil histoquímico mais frequente foi negativo para receptores de estrógeno e de progesterona, e positivo para o HER-2/neu. Não foi identificado comprometimento metastático axilar e/ou a distância. Conclusões: A sobrevida global foi de 100%, com um seguimento médio de 54 meses. Essa alta taxa deve-se à ausência de comprometimento metastático axilar e/ou a distância em nossa série.
