ABSTRACT

Background: Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare disease, usually benign, although with possible progression to malignancy. The clinical features depend on its location. If the resection is completed, surgery is curative, but recurrence is possible. The diagnosis is always histopathological. Case report: We report a 20 years old female admitted for a progressive abdominal pain lasting 24 hours. The patient was subjected to an appendectomy but in the postoperative period she continued with nausea and vomiting. The patient was operated again, finding a small bowel tumor with multiple adhesions, occluding the intestinal lumen and a Meckel diverticulum. The pathological study of the tumor reported the presence of an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor. The patient had an uneventful postoperative outcome.


Introducción: El tumor miofibroblástico inflamatorio (TMI) es una enfermedad poco frecuente, en general benigna, aunque con posible evolución a malignidad. Las características clínicas dependen del lugar en el que esté ubicado. La cirugía es curativa siempre y cuando la resección sea total; aunque no se excluye la posibilidad de recidivas. El diagnóstico siempre es histopatológico. Dadas sus características clínicas y sitios de presentación se ha denominado de distintas formas e incluso sigue siendo motivo de estudio a fin de entender completamente su fisiopatología. Caso clínico: Presentamos un caso de esta rara entidad con un cuadro clínico de un abdomen agudo.

ABSTRACT

Background. Emphysematous pyelonephritis is a necrotizing infection characterized by gas production that usually is located in the kidney tissue, urinary tract and retroperitoneal tissue. Gas can escape following the renal veins and accumulate in the hepatic veins and other places. E coli is the most common causative organism. Clinical case: We report a 62 years old diabetic female, admitted to the hospital with a diabetic ketoacidosis. An abdominal CT scan disclosed a left emphysematous pyelonephritis, cholecystitis and cystitis. The patient was operated, performing a left nephrectomy, cholecystectomy and placement of sub hepatic and retroperitoneal drainages. The pathological study of the surgical piece showed an acute pyelonephritis with abscess formation and chronic cholecystitis. The patient died due to a multi systemic failure.


Introducción: La Pielonefritis enfisematosa es una infección necrotizante caracterizada por la producción de gas, que habitualmente se ubica en el parénquima renal, las vías urinarias y los tejidos retroperi-toneales. Cuando el gas es abundante puede escapar siguiendo las venas renales y acumularse en las venas hepáticas, y el resto del sistema. La E. coli es el patógeno más frecuente. Caso clínico: Presentamos el caso de paciente femenina de 62 años, diabética que ingresa con sintomatología de vías urinarias diagnosticada como pielonefritis enfisematosa izquierda por tomografía y encontrando como hallazgos adicionales.
