ABSTRACT
OBJETIVO: Avaliar a evolução e os fatores prognósticos da prostatectomia radical. MÉTODOS: Um total de 500 pacientes foi submetido à prostatectomia radical, entre 2000 e 2006. Estádio clínico, PSA pré-operatório e escore de Gleason foram avaliados em conjunto com o estádio patológico e margens cirúrgicas. O seguimento foi feito pela monitorização do PSA e correlação com diversos critérios. RESULTADOS: Dos 500 pacientes com doença clinicamente localizada tiveram seguimento médio de 36,7 ± 18,8 meses. O tempo operatório foi de 190 ± 45 minutos e o sangramento intra-operatório de 630 mL. O PSA pré-operatório médio foi de 7,8 ± 4,5 ng/dL, com maior proporção de escore de Gleason<6 (72 por cento) e estádio TNM pT2c (65 por cento). As complicações pós-operatórias foram incontinência em 2 por cento pacientes e 46 por cento com impotência sexual. CONCLUSÃO: A chance de recorrência esteve diretamente associada com PSA=10 ng/mL, escores de Gleason maiores e inversamente proporcionais à idade dos pacientes.
OBJECTIVE: Radical prostatectomy remains the standard treatment for early prostate cancer. This study was conducted to evaluate the outcome and prognostic factors of radical prostatectomy. METHODS: A total of 500 patients with prostate cancer underwent radical prostatectomy at Santa Rita hospital- Maringa-PR, between 2000 and 2006. Clinical staging, preoperative prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and Gleason score were evaluated with pathological stage and margin status. Follow-up PSA monitoring and survival were analyzed. RESULTS: Of 500 patients with clinical localized disease with a median follow up of 36,7±18,8 months. The average operative duration was 190± 45 minutes and the average intra-operative bleeding was 630 ml. The patients' preoperative serum PSA was 7,8 ± 4,5 ng/dl , with a higher proportion of Gleason Score < 6(72 percent) and The TNM stage pT2c (65 percent). For late postoperative complications: incontinence in 2 percent and 46 percent with erectile dysfunction. CONCLUSION: Radical prostatectomy in men shows excellent results. The chance of recurrence was directly associated with PSA = 10 ng/ml, high Gleason score and inversely proportional to age.

Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia is a benign and rare intravascular process thought to arise from an organizing thrombus. Involvement of the adrenal gland is extremely rare, with only one case reported in the literature. We report a case of this vascular lesion in the adrenal gland, treated with laparoscopic adrenalectomy.
