ABSTRACT

Abstract: Epithelioma cuniculatum is characterized as a slow growing lesion on the sole of the foot. A diagnosis is usually delayed by a low clinical suspicion and misdirection due to its similarity to an infection. This tumor rarely metastasize but a local invasion of adjacent soft tissues is common, requiring ample surgical resection or even amputation in advanced cases. We report a case a 76-year-old patient with a 5-year-old lesion on the sole of the foot, which was originally treated as a wart without improvement while the lesion slowly evolved. The patient was referred to our center with a diagnosis of chronic osteomyelitis. An excisional biopsy revealed an invasive keratinizing squamous carcinoma. In this advanced phase of the disease the only possible treatment was a Syme amputation.


Resumen: El epitelioma cuniculatum se caracteriza por una lesión de crecimiento lento en la planta del pie cuyo diagnóstico suele retrasarse por la baja sospecha clínica y por su similitud con una infección. Este tumor raramente metastatiza, pero es común que produzca una invasión local a los tejidos blandos adyacentes, requiriendo una amplia resección quirúrgica o incluso una amputación en casos avanzados. Presentamos un caso de un paciente de 76 años con una lesión de 5 años de edad en la planta del pie, que originalmente fue tratada como una verruga plantar común sin mejoría, mientras que la lesión evolucionó lentamente. El paciente fue remitido a nuestro centro con un diagnóstico de osteomielitis crónica. Una biopsia excisional reveló un carcinoma escamoso queratinizante invasivo. En esta fase avanzada de la enfermedad el único tratamiento posible fue una amputación de Syme.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: This study examined the factors affecting the treatment of diabetes mellitus foot patients who had undergone a Syme amputation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study included 17 patients diagnosed with a diabetes mellitus foot and who had undergone a Syme amputation from January 2010 to January 2014. Some of the risk factors (age, body mass index [BMI], disease duration, smoking, ankle brachial index [ABI], HbA1c, serum albumin, total lymphocyte, C-reactive protein [CRP], and serum creatine) that affect the successful Syme amputation were analyzed. RESULTS: The healing rate of a Syme amputation was significantly higher when the lymphocyte count was above 1,500 mm3 (p=0.029). The factors affecting the surgical outcome according to multivariate analysis were HbA1c and the BMI (p=0.014, p=0.013). Regarding reamputation, there was a significant difference with HbA1c, lymphocyte, and BMI (p=0.01, p=0.03, and p=0.01). No significant differences were observed with age, disease duration of diabetes mellitus, smoking, ABI, serum albumin, CRP, and serum creatine. CONCLUSION: The HbA1c level, BMI and total lymphocyte count are risk factors that must be considered for successful Syme amputation in patients with diabetic foot disease.

ABSTRACT

Se presenta el caso de una paciente atendida en Bolivia, en la Clínica del Colaborador de La Paz, que presentaba una tumoración en el pie derecho que había sido resecada en 2 oportunidades, con recidiva in situ casi inmediata y evolución no satisfactoria. Para resecar la tumoración, identificada como un tumor desmoide extraabdominal tanto por biopsias anteriores y por la clínica y los complementarios, se realizó una amputación de tipo Syme. Ésta dejó un muñón que, después de la rehabilitación, resultó útil para la marcha y las funciones habituales de la paciente, como la reincorporación a su duro trabajo anterior


This is the case of patient seen in Bolivia in the "Colaborador de la Paz" Clinic presenting a tumor in right foot resected in two occasions with a in situ almost immediate relapse and a non-satisfactory evolution. To resect the tumorous process, identified like a extra-abdominal desmoid tumor by prior biopsies and by clinic and also by the complementary examinations it was necessary amputation type Syme remaining an stump that after rehabilitation was useful to walk and in the usual functions of the patient who could to go back to its previous work
