ABSTRACT

We report a 74-year-old maie with liver metastases from a neuroendocrine tumor (NET) of unknown origin. Conventionai imaging studies with ultrasound, computed tomography coionoscopy and Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT) with 18Flúor odeoxyglucose did not identify the site of orígin of the primary tumor. The patient was submitted for a PET/CT sean with a new radiopharmaceuticai, the somatostatin anaiogue 68Ga-DOTATATE. This new technique demostrated increased focal uptake at the ileocecal valve. This lesión and other two liver metastases were surgically removed. The histopathology and immunohistochemistry analysis confirmed the diagnosis of NET (carcinoid). This case illustrates the advantages of the PET/CT sean with 68Ga-DOTATATE.

ABSTRACT

Se presenta el caso de una mujer de 27 años con hidatidosos cardíaca primaria. La autopsia reveló múltiples quistes hidatídicos localizados en el corazón, uno de los cuales se rompió hacia la aurícula derecha provocando una embolia pulmonar masiva mortal debido a la oclusión del tronco de la arteria pulmonar por una membrana hidatílica. En una cuidadosa revisión de la literatura médica sólo pudimos encontrar publicados 10 casos similares al presentado. Aunque la hidatidosis cardíaca representa menos del 3% de los casos de hidatidosis humana, es una condición clínica seria debido a que la ruptura de estos quistes puede producir una muerte súbita en el 29% de los casos
