ABSTRACT

Resumen ANTECEDENTES: Los leiomiomas uterinos son los tumores benignos ginecológicos más frecuentes en las mujeres en edad reproductiva; por tanto, son extremadamente raros en las adolescentes (menos de 1%) y solo se encuentran reportes de caso en la bibliografía. CASO CLÍNICO: Paciente de 16 años, con tumor suprapúbico de rápido crecimiento, acompañado de dolor abdominal generalizado, enviada a la unidad médica con diagnóstico de miomatosis uterina para descartar su malignidad. El ultrasonido pélvico reportó múltiples lesiones hipoecoicas diseminadas en el miometrio, similares a metástasis. La tomografía abdomino-pélvica informó hepatomegalia, a expensas del lóbulo izquierdo y leiomiomas intramurales de medianos y grandes elementos; los marcadores tumorales se encontraron en límites normales. En la laparotomía se encontró una tumoración interligamentaria izquierda de 25 cm; el estudio histopatológico reportó: leiomioma uterino de patrón histológico convencional. CONCLUSIONES: El cuadro clínico de los leiomiomas en adolescentes representa un reto clínico por la edad, signos, síntomas y necesidad de preservación de la función reproductiva, aspectos decisivos a la hora de decidir el tratamiento.


Abstract BACKGROUND: The uterine leiomyomas are the most common gynecological benign tumors in fertile females; however, they are very rare in adolescents (less than 1%) and there are only a few reports in the literature. CLINICAL CASE: A 16-year-old patient with a fast-growing suprapubic tumor, accompanied by generalized abdominal pain, sent to the hospital with diagnosis of pelvic tumor probable uterine miomatosis, to rule out malignant tumor. Pelvic ultrasound was performed with a report of multiple disseminated hypoechoic lesions in myometrium giving appearance of metastasis, without being the characteristic images of myomas, pelvic abdominal tomography reported hepatomegaly of the left lobe, intramural leiomyomas of medium and large elements, tumor markers within normal limits. The laparotomy was performed, left intraligamentary myoma of giant elements was located; and the histopathological study reported uterine leiomyoma of conventional histological pattern. CONCLUSIONS: The clinical of leiomyomas in adolescent patients represents a challenge for the gynecologist. The age, symptomatology, and preservation of reproductive function are important aspects to decide the therapeutic regimen.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective There are no published studies analyzing the quality of the information for lay women on the Internet regarding uterine fibroids. The accuracy of the provided material is also unknown. Thus, we have performed a cross-sectional study with 381 websites in the English and Brazilian Portuguese languages between May and December 2017. Methods Two investigators performed the analysis, and the Cohen kappa coefficient was calculated to analyze the agreement between them. Search terms (uterine fibroids and derivatives) in the English and Brazilian Portuguese languages were used. The accuracywas analyzed by a 10-itemchecklist created based on the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM), National Institutes of Health (NIH) and European Menopause and Andropause Society (EMAS) consensuses about uterine fibroids. The item-test correlation and the intraclass coefficient were performed in the 16 questions from the DISCERN instrument, which was designed to measure the quality of health information on the Internet. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) measurements were performed for the independent variables and the DISCERN/accuracy scores. Results Google was the most used search engine, and uterine fibroid was the search term that generatedmost of the analyzed material. The median score for accuracy in all websites was 5 out of 10, and the median score of the DISCERN instrument was 38 out of 80. The top-scoring sites in the English language were derived from scientific organizations and federal governments, and they regarded the DISCERN score (The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists [ACOG], the Food and Drug Administration [FDA]) and the accuracy criteria (NIH, and FDA). On the other hand, in the Brazilian Portuguese language, the highest scores in both instruments were from magazines or physician's blogs. The Cronbach α test showed a higher correlation (0.77-0.79) between the sites and DISCERN; however, the item-test correlation varied from 0.39 to 0.56. Conclusion There is a need to improve the quality of the information regarding uterine fibroids for lay women.


Resumo Objetivos Não existem estudos publicados analisando a qualidade de informação para mulheres leigas na internet sobre o leiomioma uterino. A acurácia do material existente também não é conhecida. Portanto, realizamos um estudo transversal envolvendo 381 sites em língua inglesa e portuguesa de maio a dezembro de 2017. Métodos Dois pesquisadores fizeram a análise, e o coeficiente kappa de Cohen foi calculado para analisar a concordância entreambos. Termos de pesquisa (leiomioma uterino e derivados)eminglês e português foramusados. A acurácia foi analisada por meio de uma lista de 10 itens criados após a fusão de consensos da Sociedade Americana de Medicina da Reprodução (ASRM, na siglaeminglês), dos InstitutosNacionais de Saúde (NIH, na siglaem inglês) e da Sociedade Europeia de Menopausa e Andropausa (EMAS, na sigla em inglês) sobre leiomioma uterino. A correlação item-teste e o coeficiente intraclasse foram realizados nas 16 questões do questionário DISCERN, um instrumento desenvolvido para medir a qualidade da informação de saúde disponível na internet. O método de análise de variância (ANOVA, na sigla em inglês) foi utilizado para as variáveis independentes e as pontuações de acurácia e do DISCERN. Resultados O Google foi a ferramenta mais utilizada, e o leiomioma uterino foi o termo de busca que gerou a maior parte do material analisado. A pontuação média para a acurácia dos websites foi 5/10, e do questionário DISCERN, 38/80. Os sites de língua inglesa commaior pontuação foram os de organizações científicas e de governos federais, tanto no questionário DISCERN (Faculdade Americana de Obstetrícia e Ginecologia [ACOG, na sigla em inglês], Administração de Alimentos e Medicamentos [FDA, na sigla em inglês]) quanto na acurácia (NIH e FDA). Entretanto, em língua portuguesa, os sites com as maiores pontuações em ambos os instrumentos foram de revistas ou blogs médicos. O teste α de Cronbach evidenciou maior correlação entre os sites e o DISCERN (0,77-0,79); contudo, a correlação item-teste variou de 0,39 a 0,56. Conclusão Há necessidade demelhorar a qualidade da informação sobre o leiomioma uterino para mulheres leigas.

ABSTRACT

Resumen OBJETIVO: dar a conocer a los ginecoobstetras un documento donde pueda consultarse, a la luz de los estudios más recientes y con la mejor evidencia en la fisiopatología, prevalencia y significado clínico de los miomas uterinos, así como la mejor evidencia posible acerca de las diversas modalidades de tratamiento. METDOLOGÍA: estudio retrospectivo efectuado por los miembros del Comité de expertos de la Asociación Mexicana de Medicina de la Reproducción, empleando los artículos publicados entre los años 2000 a 2016 en Pubmed y que en el resumen contuvieran los MeSH: leiomyomatosis uterus, leiomyoma, leiomyomatosis uterine, leiomyomatosis uterine in pregnancy. La calidad de la evidencia y la formulación de las recomendaciones se realizaron con la metodología establecida por el sistema GRADE. RESULTADOS: se incluyeron 97 artículos en los que se encontró que la prevalencia en mujeres en edad reproductiva es variable, según la edad (20 a 80%). En la mayoría el diagnóstico se establece entre los 35 y 54 años. Para el tratamiento existen varias opciones con distintos porcentajes de eficacia. CONCLUSIONES: queda de manifiesto la evidencia de la eficacia de varios medicamentos indicados para el control de los síntomas y para mejorar la calidad de vida de las pacientes. En la comparación entre acetato de leuprolide y acetato de ulipristal no se encontraron que originaran síntomas vasomotores, ni disminuyeran la masa ósea. En relación con el último se vislumbra la posibilidad de evitar la cirugía, aunque aún se requiere más investigación a este respecto.


Abstract OBJECTIVE: To make known to the gynecological obstetricians a document where they can be consulted, in the light of the most recent studies and with the best evidence on the pathophysiology, prevalence and clinical significance of uterine fibroids, as well as the best possible evidence about the various treatment modalities. METDOLOGY: A retrospective study carried out by the members of the Committee of experts of the Mexican Association of Reproductive Medicine, using the articles published between 2000 and 2016 in Pubmed and that in the abstract contained MeSH: leiomyomatosis uterus, leiomyoma, Leiomyomatosis uterine, leiomyomatosis uterine in pregnancy. The quality of the evidence and the formulation of the recommendations were made using the methodology established by the GRADE system. RESULTS: 97 articles were included in which the prevalence was found to be variable, according to age (20 to 80%) in women of reproductive age. In most, the diagnosis is established between 35 and 54 years. There are several treatment options with different percentages of effectiveness. CONCLUSIONS: Evidence of the efficacy of several medications indicated for the control of symptoms and to improve the quality of life of the patients is evident. In the comparison between leuprolide acetate and ulipristal acetate, they were not found to cause vasomotor symptoms or to decrease bone mass. Regarding the latter, the possibility of avoiding surgery is envisaged, although more research is still needed in this regard.

ABSTRACT

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: Os miomas são tumores benignos, estrogênio-dependentes, atingindo suas dimensões máximas durante o menacme e são encontrados em até 4% das gestações.A miomectomia na gravidez é discutível, intervir ou não depende da possível lesão à gestação. O objetivo deste estudo foi apresentar um caso de mioma subseroso que simulou neoplasia em primigesta com miomectomia anteparto bem sucedida. RELATO DO CASO: Nulípara, 38 anos, encaminhada à Oncologia Ginecológica por distensão abdominal progressiva, protusão umbilical e amenorreia há três meses e desconforto respiratório.O abdômen demonstrava massa endurecida, fixa, ocupando região pélvica e abdominal até apêndice xifoide. Trazia ultrassonografia (US) transvaginal relatando útero aumentado de volume (2305 cc), textura difusamente heterogênea com múltiplos nódulos sólidos; colo uterino e canal cervical normais; ovários não visualizados e presença de ascite. Solicitou-se fração Beta da gonadotrofina coriônica humana (BetaHCG), marcadores tumorais e ressonância magnética nuclear (RMN) para investigação etiológica. Os resultados demonstraram BetaHCG: 57684 mUI/mL; CA125: 161,1 U/mL; CA:19,9:0,8 U/mL; alfafetoproteína: 2,56 KUI/mL; US: feto vivo pesando 580 g e 22 semanas. RMN mostrava imagem compatível com útero gravídico e placenta corporal. Na parede uterina existia a presença de mioma intramural. A paciente foi submetida à laparotomia exploradora onde foi observada presença de massa pediculada única de aproximadamente 30 cm com pedículo vascular de 5 cm. O exame perioperatório revelou lesão benigna, provável leiomioma. O exame anatomopatológico revelou leiomioma, pesando 7925 g e dimensões de 27 x 24 x 12 cm, negativo para células neoplásicas. Após a miomectomia, a gestação evoluiu sem qualquer intercorrência, com parto a termo por cesariana. CONCLUSÃO: A miomectomia pode ser um procedimento seguro durante a gravidez, se indicada.


BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Leiomyomas are benign estrogen-dependent tumors, that occur in up to 4% of pregnancies with maximum dimensions during the reproductive period. Although myomectomy during pregnancy is still controversial, the decision whether to intervene or not depends mainly on the location of the fibroid and the surgeon's experience. We report here the case of a massive, symptomatic leiomyoma successfully managed by antepartum myomectomy. CASE REPORT: A 38-year-old, nulliparous patient was referred to the Gynecological Oncology outpatient clinic complaining of progressive abdominal distension, umbilical protrusion, 3-months amenorrhea and respiratory distress. On physical examination, her abdomen showed a hardened, fixed mass, occupying the whole pelvic and abdominal region up to the xiphoid appendix. A previous transvaginal ultrasound showed an enlarged uterus (2305 cc), a diffusely heterogeneous texture with multiple solid nodules, cervix and cervical channel without alterations; ovaries not visualized and presence of ascites. We requested Human chorionic gonadotropin (BetaHCG), tumor markers and Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) for the etiology investigation. The tests showed QHCG: BetaHCG:57684 mUI/mL; CA125: 161.1 U/mL; CA:19.9: 0.8 U/mL; alpha-fetoprotein: 2.56 KUI/mL; Ultrasonogram: single live fetus,weight 580 g, estimated gestational age 22w. NMR showed image consistent with gravid uterus and corporal placenta. The presence of an intramural leiomyoma in the uterine wall was observed. The patient was submitted to an exploratory laparotomy that showed the presence of a single pediculated mass of approximately 30 cm with a 5 cm vascular pediculus.(...)

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to determine the indications, success, and complications of operative hysteroscopy performed at The University of the West Indies (UWI). METHODS: A five-year retrospective cohort study was done of women undergoing operative hysteroscopy at the Hugh Wynter Fertility Management Unit (HWFMU) of the University of the West Indies from January 1, 2001 to December 31, 2005. The demographics of the patients, indications, complications of the procedure and postoperative follow-up were assessed. Patient's post-procedural quality of life was assessed by a questionnaire. RESULTS: During this period, 92 operative hysteroscopies were performed on 87 patients, with repeat procedures being performed in three patients. The mean age of patients undergoing operative hysteros-copy was 36.65 years with a range of 23 to 50 years. The main indications for operative hysteroscopy at the HWFMU were submucosal fibroids (50%), intrauterine synechiae (26%) and removal of an intrauterine contraceptive device (11%). There were four procedure-related complications, all of which occurred during myomectomy and required hospitalization. CONCLUSION: Operative hysteroscopy is a safe and highly effective therapy for carefully selected women. As a consequence of technological advancements, an increasing number of gynaecological conditions, traditionally treated by laparotomy, can now be treated safely and effectively using outpatient operative hysteroscopy.


OBJETIVO: El objetivo de este estudio es determinar las indicaciones, éxito, y complicaciones de las histeroscopías operatorias realizadas en la Universidad de West Indies (UWI). MÉTODOS: Se realizó un estudio de cohorte retrospectivo de cinco años con mujeres sometidas a Histeroscopia operatoria en la Unidad de Fertilidad "Hugo Wynter", en la Universidad de West Indies (HWFMU), del 1ero de enero de 2001 al 31 de diciembre de 2005. Se evaluaron los datos demográficos de los pacientes, así como las indicaciones, las complicaciones del procedimiento y el seguimiento post-operatorio. Se aplicó un cuestionario para evaluar la calidad de vida del paciente luego del procedimiento. RESULTADOS: Durante este período se realizaron 92 histeroscopías operatorias a 87 pacientes, repitiéndose los procedimientos en tres pacientes. La edad promedio de los pacientes sometidos a Histeroscopia operatoria fue 36.65 años, con una rango de 23 a 50 años. Las indicaciones principales para la histeroscopía operatoria en la Unidad HWFMU fueron los miomas submucosos (50%), las sinéquias intrauterinas (26%) y la extracción del dispositivo anticonceptivo intrauterino (11%). Hubo cuatro complicaciones relacionadas con los procedimientos, todas las cuales tuvieron lugar durante la miomectomía y requirieron hospitalización. CONCLUSIÓN: La histeroscopía operatoria es una terapia segura y altamente efectiva para mujeres cuidadosamente seleccionadas. Como consecuencia de los avances tecnológicos, un número creciente de condiciones ginecológicas, tradicionalmente tratadas mediante laparotomía, pueden ahora ser tratadas con seguridad y efectividad mediante histeroscopía operatoria ambulatoria.

ABSTRACT

Los miomas uterinos son los tumores sólidos más frecuentes del aparato genital femenino, apareciendo en un 20 a 50% de las mujeres, con mayor incidencia en la edad reproductiva. En un alto porcentaje de casos, los miomas son asintomáticos, pero cuando se acompañan de manifestaciones como sangrado uterino anormal, dolor abdominal, síntomas de compresión, se debe optar por algún tratamiento. La histerectomía ha sido siempre la técnica tradicional en aquellos casos donde la fertilidad no reviste interés. Existen otros procedimientos alternativos a la histerectomía, consistentes en tratamientos médicos aislados o combinados con una cirugía conservadora. Entre ellos hay que citar el tratamiento con los análogos de la hormona liberadora de gonadotrofinas (GnRH), que provoca disminución del tamaño de los miomas, pero que suspendido el tratamiento crecen nuevamente. La miomectomía tiene una recurrencia del 27%, en un plazo aproximado de 10 años, y el inconveniente de la formación de adherencias tisulares. La Embolización Arterial Uterina (EAU) se presenta como alternativa al tratamiento quirúrgico. El objetivo de este trabajo de tesis ha sido medir la eficacia de la EAU como tratamiento de la miomatosis uterina sintomática, a corto y mediano plazo, evaluar la seguridad de la técnica y comparar los resultados con otros tratamientos. Estudio prospectivo de 28 pacientes con miomatosis sintomática, procedentes del Servicio de Ginecología del Hospital Universitario de Maternidad y Neonatología (Maternidad Nacional de Córdoba), y del Servicio de Ginecología del Centro Privado de Tomografía Computada Córdoba S.A. - Instituto Oulton, que fueron tratadas con la técnica de Embolización Arterial Uterina, dentro del período comprendido entre diciembre de 2000 y abril de 2004. Con seguimiento hasta abril de 2006. La edad promedio fue de 41 años (rango 27 - 43 años).

ABSTRACT

A embolização arterial uterina (EAU) para tratamento de miomas através do cateterismo seletivo das artérias uterinas tem-se estabelecido como uma opção eficaz, segura e minimamente invasiva. Neste artigo, fazemos revisão bibliográfica sobre o assunto no período compreendido entre 1994 e 2003, tomando como base o banco de dados da LILACS/BIREME, e apresentamos a experiência preliminar inicial do Serviço de Hemodinântica do Hospital Semper em Belo Horizonte.


Purposes: to make a review of the literature on uterine arterial embolization for the treatment of symptomatic uterine, leiomyomata and present the initial results of Semper Hospital in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Methods: medical publications on the subject were analized, from the first publication in 1996, until July 2003, considering the LILACS/BIREME database. We also made a retrospective study of the first 19 patients treated with this approach at Semper Hospital, in Belo Horizonte, analyzing the technical aspects recorded in CD and consulting the medical and ultrassonographic patient records. Results: technical success, defined as selective catheterization and embolization of both uterine arteries, was reached in 100% of patients (n=19). Sixteen of the seventeen patients with menorrhage (94,1%) recovered normal menstrual cycles. Pelviv pain and symptoms of organ compression disappeared in all the patients that presented these symptoms before the procedure. The hemoglobin levels rose from 6.0 - 11.2 g/dl on admission to 12.2 - 14.1 g/dl on the 6 month follow-up. Conclusion: Particulate uterine arterial embolization now constitutes a safe and effective alternative to hysterectomy or myomectomy for the treatment of uterine leiomyomata.
