Espiradenoma écrino en muslo de mujer: reporte de un caso

Introducción: El espiradenoma ecrino es un tumor anexial benigno raro que surge de las glándulas sudoríparas écrinas. Comúnmente se presenta como un nódulo de crecimiento lento en la parte superior del tronco y la región de la cabeza y el cuello, principalmente en el rango de edad de 15 a 35 años, sin predominio de género. Por lo general, se presentan como pequeños nódulos solitarios que pueden crecer varios centímetros, a menudo muy dolorosos. El diagnóstico de esta entidad es de suma importancia ya que puede albergar un componente maligno con desenlaces catastróficos, ya que pueden pasar desapercibidos por su gran parecido con lesiones benignas. Caso Clínico: Aquí presentamos el caso de una mujer 41 años que presentó una lesión cutánea de crecimiento similar a un papiloma en la cara externa de tercio superior del muslo, con el diagnóstico de espiradenoma écrino posterior a la extirpación.

Introduction: Eccrine spiradenoma is a rare, benign adnexal tumor arising from the eccrine sweat glands. It commonly presents as a slow-growing nodule on the upper trunk, and head and neck region, mostly in the age bracket of 15 - 35 years, with no gender preference. Typically, they present as small solitary nodules that can grow to several centimeters, often they are strikingly painful. The diagnosis of this entity is extremely important as it can harbour a malignant component with catastrophic outcomes wich may be missed due to its strong resemblance to benign lesions. Case Report: We present the case of a 41-year-old woman who presented with a papilloma-like growth on the upper lateral aspect of the thigh which was diagnosed as eccrine spiradenoma upon excision.

Manejo de las lesiones anexiales en el embarazo y actualización del abordaje laparoscópico / Management of adnexal masses in pregnancy and an update of the laparoscopic approach

Resumen El manejo del tumor anexial en embarazadas sigue siendo un desafío. El objetivo del siguiente trabajo es realizar una revisión bibliográfica, en la que se abordarán las diferentes alternativas en cuanto a diagnóstico y manejo del tumor anexial en embarazadas, así como también indicaciones de abordaje quirúrgico y recomendaciones para una cirugía segura. Los tumores anexiales en embarazadas son poco frecuentes, y la mayoría son benignos y tipo funcionales. La ecografía ha sido fundamental para lograr diferenciar su carácter benigno o maligno. El manejo puede ser expectante o quirúrgico. El manejo quirúrgico se reserva para ciertas características de las lesiones anexiales. En cuanto a la vía operatoria, la literatura apoya la laparoscopia mostrando que existen múltiples beneficios al compararla con la laparotomía. Para el abordaje quirúrgico existen opciones en cuanto a la técnica, siendo estas anexectomía o quistectomía. Resulta fundamental tener consideraciones especiales en la técnica debido a los cambios fisiológicos de las embarazadas, como por ejemplo la altura uterina y el tamaño del tumor anexial. A modo de conclusión, el manejo de los tumores anexiales en el embarazo sigue siendo controversial y se extrapola principalmente basándose en la literatura de pacientes no gestantes u otros procedimientos quirúrgicos en embarazadas.

Abstract Nowadays the management of the adnexal tumors in pregnant women is still a challenge. The purpose of this article is to perform a bibliographic review and present the differential diagnosis, management, and surgical approaches for the women in this condition. Adnexal tumors in pregnant women are rare, most of them are benign corresponding to functional cysts. In order to differentiate benign from malignant tumors, Ultrasonography has been one of the most important imaging advances. The management can be either expectant or surgical. Surgical management is referred for tumors with certain specific characteristics. In relation to surgical management, the literature supports laparoscopy, showing greater benefits in comparison to laparotomy. There are different options for this kind of approach. Its mandatory to have special considerations in the technique due to the physiological changes in pregnant women, some examples are the uterine and the tumor size. The management of the adnexal tumors in pregnancy is still controversial, its based on studies of non-pregnant patients or other kinds of surgeries in pregnant women.

Hiperreacción luteínica durante el tercer trimestre del embarazo. Reporte de caso / Hyperreactio luteinalis during the third trimester of pregnancy. A case report

RESUMEN La hiperreacción luteínica es una entidad poco frecuente del embarazo, que se caracteriza por aumento bilateral y funcional de los ovarios con presencia de quistes de paredes finas. Varias hipótesis sugieren que es causada por el aumento de las concentraciones o la sensibilidad ovárica a la gonadotropina coriónica. La mayoría no presenta síntomas o complicaciones del embarazo, y el diagnóstico se realiza en forma accidental por ecografía de rutina. Es una condición benigna rara, suele autolimitarse y se resuelve espontáneamente después del parto. Sin embargo, a veces no pueden ser diferenciados de los tumores malignos de ovario sin un examen histológico. La cirugía está indicada cuando existen complicaciones como torsión ovárica o peritonitis por hemorragia o rotura. Se presenta un caso de hiperreacción luteínica durante el tercer trimestre del embarazo.

ABSTRACT Hyperreactio luteinalis is a rare entity of pregnancy characterized by bilateral and functional enlargement of the ovaries that present thin-walled cysts. Several hypotheses suggest it is caused by increased concentrations or ovarian sensitivity to chorionic gonadotropin. Many cases do not present symptoms or complications during pregnancy, and diagnosis is done accidentally by routine ultrasound. This rare benign condition is usually self-limited and resolves spontaneously following delivery. However, some have to be differentiated from malignant ovarian tumors by histological examination. Surgery is indicated when there are complications such as ovarian torsion or peritonitis due to hemorrhage or rupture. We present a case of hyperreactio luteinalis during the third trimester of pregnancy.

Syringocystadenoma papilliferum arising within a nevus sebaceous: A case report

@#Syringocystadenoma papilliferum is a rare benign adnexal skin tumor of apocrine or eccrine differentiation. It usually appears at puberty wherein a third of cases arise within a nevus sebaceous. We report a 14 year-old male with an erythematous fleshy plaque on the scalp of 3 years duration that developed from a pre-existing hairless plaque since birth. Histopathology confirmed the above diagnosis.

Importancia de la laparoscopia diagnóstica en la detección de implantes tumorales. Reporte de un caso / Importance of diagnostic laparoscopy in the detection of tumor implants. A case report

Resumen ANTECEDENTES: Los tumores malignos de células germinales de ovario constituyen un grupo heterogéneo de neoplasias de rápida evolución a la malignización, que suelen aparecer durante las dos primeras décadas de la vida. La prevalencia en México es de 3.4% de los tumores ováricos. El 10% de las pacientes afectadas padece dolor abdominal agudo por distención capsular, necrosis, hemorragia, rotura o torsión. CASO CLÍNICO: Paciente de 17 años, acudió al servicio de Urgencias por dolor pélvico de inicio súbito. En la laparotomía se encontró una torsión ovárica secundaria a una tumoración anexial derecha; por eso se le efectuó la salpingooferectomía. Se detectó elevada concentración de alfa-fetoproteína (10,702 ng/mL); el servicio de Oncología pediátrica indicó quimioterapia durante dos años; sin embargo, después de suspender el tratamiento persistió elevada su concentración. El ultrasonido y PET-SCAN no evidenciaron enfermedad activa. En la laparoscopia diagnóstica se observaron múltiples implantes tumorales. El reporte histopatológico fue de tumoración de senos endodérmicos. La paciente se envió, nuevamente, a Oncología pediátrica para continuar con quimioterapia y radioterapia. En la actualidad permanece estable, con descenso de la concentración de alfa-fetoproteína (última determinación: 1200 ng/mL). CONCLUSIÓN: La importancia de la laparoscopia toma relevancia en este tipo de casos, cuando existe discordancia entre los estudios bioquímicos y de imagen (ultrasonido y PET-SCAN); además, orienta hacia un diagnóstico más certero, mediante la visualización y obtención de biopsias directas, con la finalidad de establecer el tratamiento específico.

Abstract BACKGROUND: Malignant germ cell tumors of the ovary constitute a heterogeneous group of highly malignant and rapidly progressive neoplasms that usually appear during the first two decades of life. Its frequency in Mexico is 3.4% on ovarian tumors. Approximately 10% of affected patients report acute abdominal pain due to capsular distension, necrosis, hemorrhage, rupture or torsion. CLINICAL CASE: A 17 years-old patient, who went to the Emergency Department for pelvic pain of sudden onset. It was decided to perform a laparotomy and ovarian torsion was found secondary to a right adnexal tumor, so salpingo-ophorectomy was performed. High alpha-fetoprotein concentration (10.702 ng/mL) was detected; the Pediatric Oncology Service indicated chemotherapy for two years; however, after stopping the treatment, its concentration persisted. The ultrasound and PET-SCAN did not show active disease, so it was sent to the gynecological endoscopy service, where they performed diagnostic laparoscopy, observing multiple tumor implants. The histopathological results was endodermal sinus tumor. The patient was sent, again, to Pediatric Oncology to continue with chemotherapy and radiotherapy. It is currently stable, with a decrease in values of alpha-fetoprotein (last determination: 1200 ng/mL). CONCLUSION: The importance of diagnostic laparoscopy is especially relevant in this type of cases when there is disagreement between biochemical and imaging studies (ultrasound and PET-SCAN), which through laparoscopy guides us towards a more accurate diagnosis through visualization and direct biopsy taking sample and give a directed management.

Primary cutaneous cribriform apocrine carcinoma: Case report and literature review

Primary cutaneous cribriform apocrine carcinoma is a rare but distinct variant of primary cutaneous apocrine carcinoma and it is considered a low grade malignancy. We herein present a case of primary cutaneous cribriform apocrine carcinoma at the neck of a 26-year-old female. The tumor features a relatively well-circumscribed border and multiple aggregations of mildly pleomorphic epithelial cells with large ovoid nuclei, small nucleoli and abundant eosinophilic cytoplasms. Cribriform and tubular structures are the major architectural patterns. The primary differential diagnosis is cutaneous metastasis from a cribriform visceral carcinoma; others include primary secretory carcinoma of the skin, adenoid cystic basal cell carcinoma and primary cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinoma.

Primary Cutaneous Mucinous Carcinoma with Extramammary Paget’s Disease: Eccrine or Apocrine?

Primary cutaneous mucinous carcinoma (PCMC) is an uncommon tumor of the sweat gland origin. The occurrence of PCMC is mostly in middle-aged and older patients, with a slight male predominance. Most cases of PCMC arise on the head, with a preference for eyelids. The histogenesis of PCMC, whether eccrine or apocrine, remains controversial. We report a rare case of PCMC with secondary extramammary Paget’s disease in the groin of a 75-year-old man, which favored an apocrine origin. Furthermore, based on a review of the literature, we provide several histologic clues that can be used to differentiate PCMC from metastatic mucinous carcinoma.

Eccrine Spiradenoma of the Scalp

Eccrine spiradenoma is an uncommon benign adnexal tumor originating from the eccrine sweat gland. We diagnosed a eccrine spiradenoma on a 55-year-old man with histopathologic confirmation upon biopsy followed by complete resection, who had visited our clinic with a chief complain of occipital scalp mass. The solitary eccrine spiradenoma occurring in the scalp is rarely to be seen and should be considered as a differential diagnosis for a solitary cystic mass of the scalp.

Siringomas: presentación de casosclínicos y revisión de la bibliografía / Syringomas: a clinical cases series and literature review

Los Siringomas son tumoraciones benignas que comprometen el epitelio ductal de la glándula sudorípara ecrina.La etiología es desconocida. El motivo de consulta suele ser por razones estéticas, sin embargo la afección en genitales genera cancerofobia o venerofobia. En la clasificación se incluyen variantes clínicas y asociación a diferentes enfermedades y síndromes.El diagnóstico es clínico e histopatológico. Existen múltiples opciones terapéuticas pero ninguna óptima.En este trabajo presentamos cuatro pacientes con manifestaciones clínicas diferentes y revisión de la literatura.

Syringomas are benign tumors of unknown etiology where the ductal epithelium from sudoriparous eccrine gland is compromised. Main complaint is due to the aesthetic nature, however the genital condition creates fear of cancer or venereal diseases. Classification includes clinical variants and association with different diseases and syndromes. Diagnosis is made by clinical and histopathological examination. Multiple treatment options are proposed with no effective outcome. Four cases with different clinical manifestations are reported and literature review is performed.

Cilindroma solitario / Solitary cylindroma

El cilindroma es un tumor anexial poco frecuente con diferenciación apocrina. Su localización es principalmente en frente y cuero cabelludo. Se los clasifica en dos grupos: los de carácter hereditario, que evolucionan con el tiempo a una gran masa tumoral llamada tumor en turbante, y los esporádicos solitarios. La histopatología es el estudio obligatorio a la hora de realizarel diagnóstico definitivo. Reportamos un caso de cilindroma solitario y planteamos sus diagnósticos diferenciales con otros tumores anexiales

Cylindroma is a rare adnexal tumor with apocrine differentiation usually located on forehead and scalp. They are classified into two groups: multiple hereditary tumors and solitary cylindromas which occur sporadically and typically are not inherited. Histopathology study is mandatory when making the final diagnosis. We report a case of solitary cylindroma and we propose their differential diagnosis with other adnexal tumors.

Porocarcinoma ecrino: reporte de un caso / Eccrine porocarcinoma: a case report

Los tumores anexiales de la piel representan un grupo heterogéneo de entidades de baja frecuencia de presentación. Su origen es controvertido, quizás a partir de células madres pluripotenciales, aceptándose principalmente dos líneas embriológicas: pilosebáceo-apócrina y ecrina. Se los clasifica en cuatro grupos principales: tumores del folículo piloso, tumores sebáceos, tumores apócrinos y tumores ecrinos. Su distribución anatómica refleja áreas con mayor densidad de anexos cutáneos, presentándose en forma única o múltiple.

Skin adnexal tumors are represented as a heterogeneous group of entities of low frequency range. Its origin is controversial, perhaps from pluripotent stem cells, mainly from two embryological lines: pilosebaceous-apocrine and eccrine. They are classified as four main groups: tumors of the hair follicle, sebaceous tumors, apocrine tumors and eccrine tumors. Their anatomic distribution reflects areas with the highest density of cutaneous adnexal, arising in either single or multiple forms.

Female adnexal tumor of probable Wolffian origin.

Female adnexal tumor of probable Wolffi an origin (FATWO) is a rare neoplasm arising from the remnants of the mesonephric duct. We report here a case of FATWO in a 70-year-old woman arising from the broad ligament and confi rmed on immunohistochemistry. Most of these tumors behave in a benign fashion but certain histological features like hypercellularity, cellular pleomorphism and nuclear atypia as seen in the index case may increase the rate of recurrence and metastasis. Therefore, close follow-up is recommended for FATWO.

A comparison of clinical and surgical outcomes between laparo-endoscopic single-site surgery and traditional multiport laparoscopic surgery for adnexal tumors

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to compare clinical and surgical outcomes between laparo-endoscopic single-site (LESS) surgery and traditional multiport laparoscopic (TML) surgery for treatment of adnexal tumors. METHODS: Medical records were reviewed for patients undergoing surgery for benign adnexal tumors between January 2008 and April 2012 at our institution. All procedures were performed by the same surgeon. Clinical and surgical outcomes for patients undergoing LESS surgery using Glove port were compared with those patients undergoing TML surgery. RESULTS: A review of 129 patient cases undergoing LESS surgery using Glove port and 100 patient cases undergoing TML surgery revealed no significant differences in the baseline characteristics of the two groups. The median operative time was shorter in the LESS group using Glove port at 44 minutes (range, 19-126 minutes) than the TML group at 49 minutes (range, 20-196 minutes) (P=0.0007). There were no significant differences between in the duration of postoperative hospital stay, change in hemoglobin levels, pain score or the rate of complications between the LESS and TML groups. CONCLUSION: LESS surgery showed comparable clinical and surgical outcomes to TML surgery, and required less operative time. Future prospective trials are warranted to further define the benefits of LESS surgery for adnexal tumor treatment.

Unusual presentation of retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma mimicking an adnexal tumor with highly elevated serum CA-19-9

When retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma develops in pelvic cavity, it often presents similar symptoms and radiological findings to adnexal tumor, therefore obscures diagnostic approaches until an exploratory laparotomy is performed. We report an unusual presentation of retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma mimicking an adnexal tumor with extremely elevated serum CA-19-9. Though the most of the prominent mass was removed during surgery, there was massive bleeding due to tearing of internal iliac vein while dissecting the ureter close to vessels. This case focuses on the significance of considering retroperitoneal tumor even if the mass is located in ovarian fossa and has highly elevated serum level of CA-19-9. And in attempt of tumor removal, the excision needs to be clean-cut without damaging nerves or vessels around the mass and avoid causing any prospective complications.
