ABSTRACT

The type of pulmonary histoplasmosis presents limited lesions to the lungs, with symptoms that are clinically and radiological similar to chronic pulmonary tuberculosis. This paper describes the clinical features of four cases of pulmonary histoplasmosis. Aspects of diagnostic and clinical, epidemiological, laboratorial and imaging exams are discussed, in addition to the clinical status of the individuals five years after disease onset. The treatment of choice was oral medication, following which all the patients improved. It is important to understand the clinical status and the difficulties concerning the differential diagnosis of histoplasmosis, to assist the proper indication of cases, thus reducing potential confusion with other diseases.


A histoplasmose do tipo pulmonar apresenta lesões limitadas aos pulmões, cujos sintomas são clínica e radiologicamente similares à tuberculose pulmonar crônica. Esse trabalho descreve as características clínicas de quatro casos de histoplasmose. Os aspectos do diagnósticos clínicos, epidemiológicos, laboratoriais e exames de imagem são relacionados, além da situação clínica dos indivíduos, 5 após o início da doença. O tratamento de escolha foi atravésde medicação oral, aonde todos os pacientes evoluíram bem. É importante conhecer o quadro clínico e da dificuldade em diagnosticar a histoplasmose para ajudar a conduzir as boas indicações dos casos, reduzindo assim o malentendido com outras entidades patológicas.

ABSTRACT

Analisar as características dos pacientes nefrectomizados por tumor renal maligno, para avaliar possibilidade de implantação do nomograma desenvolvido pelo Hospital Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. Análise dos pacientes nefrectomizados por tumor pelos grupos de Urologia e Oncologia do Hospital Universitário de Taubabé e Hospital Regional do Vale do Paraíba, no período de 1998 a 2003, por análise de prontuário e contato telefônico. Na comparação de percentagens entre o estado atual dos pacientes (83,33 por cento) e a média da sobrevida estimada pelo nomograma (77,18 por cento) não houve significância estatística (p = 1). O nomograma pode ser aplicado para esta população.


In order to analyze the characteristics of the patients with malignant renal tumor submitted the nephrectomy surgery, and evaluate the possibility implantation of the nomogram developed by the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. The analysis of patients who were submitted to surgery for tumor by the group of Urology in Taubaté University Hospital and Vale do Paraíba's Regional Hospital from 1998 to 2003, for handbooks and telephonic contact. There was not significant diference (p = 1) between the actual condition of the patients (83.33 per cent) and the average of survivors estimated by the nomogram (77.18 per cent). The nomogram is applied for this population of this study.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Estimar a prevalência dos incidentalomas renais malígnos no Hospital Universitário de Taubaté (HUT), evidenciados pelo ultra-som. MÉTODO: Estudo transversal e retrospectivo de 1559 prontuários de pacientes submetidos a US abdominais, por indicações que não envolviam sinais ou sintomas relacionados ao tumor renal, no período de maio de 1999 a novembro de 2002. Avaliou-se idade, sexo, indicação do exame, característica da lesão. RESULTADOS: Encontrou-se 102 casos de incidentalomas renais, com a prevalência 6,2 por cento de cistos simples e 0,19 por cento de massas malignas do total dos US realizados. CONCLUSÃO: A prevalência do incidentaloma renal maligno no Hospital Universitário foi de 0,19 por cento, sendo menor que a descrita na literatura. O uso de ultra-sonografia como método de rastreamento populacional deve ser mais bem estudado, pois necessita de elevado número de exames para diagnóstico precoce do tumor renal.


BACKGROUND: To estimate the prevalence of kidney incidentalomas detected by ultrasound (US) at the University Hospital of Taubaté. METHODS: Transversal and retrospective study of 1559 patients with abdominal US, with indications that did not lead to signals or symptoms related to renal tumors. This study was done during May of 1999 through November of 2002. We evaluated age, sex, indication of the examination, and characteristic of the injury. RESULTS: One hundred and two cases of kidney incidentalomas were found, with 6.20 percent of kidney cysts and 0.19 percent of malignant kidney tumors. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of incidentaloma with kidney malignancy at the University Hospital was of 0.19 percent. These results are lesser than that have been described in the literature. The use of US as a screening population method has to be better studied, because it is necessary too many examinations to achieve very low positive diagnosis for kidney cancers.
