ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Introducción La bola fúngica (BF) es una sinusitis fúngica no invasiva, con acumulación extramucosa de conglomerados densos de hifas de hongos en cavidades paranasales (CPN), afectando generalmente a mujeres inmunocompetentes. Objetivo Describir la presentación cínica, diagnóstico y tratamiento de una serie de pacientes con diagnóstico de BF de CPN. Material y método Estudio descriptivo retrospectivo de pacientes con diagnóstico histopatológico de BF sometidos a cirugía endoscópica nasal (CEN) en nuestra institución entre 2010 y 2016. Resultados Se incluyeron 20 pacientes (15 mujeres, 5 hombres), con edad promedio al diagnóstico de 64 años (35-86 años), la mayoría inmunocompetente (85%). El síntoma más frecuente fue dolor facial (8/20). Todos los pacientes fueron estudiados con tomografia computarizada (TC) de CPN, presentando calcificaciones en 70%. La ubicación más frecuente fue el seno maxilar (12/20) y luego esfenoidal (6/20). Se realizó CEN en todos los pacientes, combinándolo con Caldwell Luc en 3 de ellos. Los cultivos intraoperatorios resultaron negativos en el 75% de los pacientes. Conclusión La BF tiene presentación cínica inespecifica. Se sospecha en base a hallazgos imagenológicos en la TC de CPN y se confirma histopatológicamente, dado el bajo rendimiento de los cultivos. La CEN es la herramienta diagnóstico-terapéutica de elección, con baja tasa de recidiva local.


ABSTRACT Introduction A fungus ball (FB) is a non-invasive fungal sinusitis, consisting of extramucosal accumulation of dense fungal hyphae conglomerates, located in paranasal sinuses. It generally affects immunocompetent women. Aim To describe the clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment in a series of patients diagnosed with FB of paranasal sinuses. Material and method Retrospective descriptive study regarding all patients with a histopathologic diagnosis of FB, who underwent endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) in our institution between 2010 and 2016. Results Twenty patients (15 women, 5 men) were included, with a mean age at diagnosis of 64 years (35-86 years). Most were immunocompetent (85%). Facial pain was the most frequent symptom (8/20). All patients were studied with a sinus CT, finding paranasal calcifications in 70%. It predominantly involved the maxillary (12/20), and sphenoid sinus (6/20). All patients were treated with ESS, with a combined Caldwell Luc approach in only 3 of them. Intraoperative cultures were negative in 75% of patients. Conclusions Sinus FB has a non-specific clinical presentation. CT findings help suspect it, and it is confirmed with a histopathological study, given the poor efficiency of cultures. ESS is the diagnostic-therapeutic procedure of choice, with a low local recurrence rate.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN El linfoma nasal de células T/NK es una neoplasia agresiva, infrecuente, con predilección por el sexo masculino. Representa el 1,5% del total de linfomas no Hodgkin, el grupo etáreo más afectado es entre 40 a 80 años. Su etiología es desconocida, pero se ha asociado con el virus de Epstein Barr. Se presenta el caso de una paciente mujer de 40 años, con dolor e induración de fosa nasal derecha asociado a secreción fétida, seropurulenta de 3 meses de evolución. Estudio histopatológico, reporta linfoma nasal de células T/NK. La paciente recibe quimioterapia, con mejoría clínica sustancial. El linfoma T/NK es una neoplasia con sintomatologia inespecífica, predominio que afecta nasofaringe, amígdalas y base de la lengua. Entre las manifestaciones encontramos dolor de garganta, obstrucción nasal, rinorrea, epistaxis y cefalea. El diagnóstico se sospecha con imágenes, pero es necesaria la confirmación histológica con marcadores de inmunohistoquímica CD45Ro, CD43, CD3, CD2, CD45Ro entre otros. Muchos casos suelen detectarse en fase tardía, cuando ya son evidentes los signos radiológicos de destrucción ósea. El diagnóstico diferencial incluye lesiones infecciosas o inflamatorias, la bola fúngica fue el diagnóstico inicial realizado en esta paciente. El tratamiento suele realizarse con radioterapia y quimioterapia.


ABSTRACT Nasal T-cell / NK lymphoma is an uncommon aggressive neoplasm with male predilection. It represents 1.5% of the total number of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, the most affected age group is 40-80 years. Its etiology is unknown but has been associated with the Epstein Barr virus. We present the case of a female patient of 40 years, with pain and induration of the right nostril associated with fetid secretion, seropurulent of 3 months of evolution. Histopathological study, reports T-cell / NK nasal lymphoma. The patient receives chemotherapy, with substantial clinical improvement. T / NK lymphoma is a neoplasm with predominant non-specific symptomatology, affecting the nasopharynx, tonsils and base of the tongue. Among the manifestations we find sore throat, nasal obstruction, rhinorrhea, epistaxis and headache. Diagnosis is suspected with imaging, but histological confirmation with immunohistochemical markers CD45Ro, CD43, CD3, CD2, CD45Ro, among others is required. Many cases are usually detected in the late phase, when radiological signs of bone destruction are already visible. The differential diagnosis includes infectious or inflammatory lesions, the fungal ball was the initial diagnosis made in this patient. Treatment is usually done with radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

ABSTRACT

A colonização intracavitária pulmonar aspergilar (CIPA) é caracterizada pela presença de massa miceliana de crescimento endocavitário. O agente mais frequente é o Aspergillus fumigatus, e a lesão cavitária é geralmente sequela de tuberculose e curada com história de hemoptise de repetição e baciloscopia negativa. Os autores analisaram retrospectivamente 190 casos de CIPA, entre abril de 1978 e março de 2008, no Serviço de Arquivo Médico do Hospital Universitário Lauro Wanderley e no Complexo Hospitalar Clementino Fraga, enfatizando a incidência, forma de apresentação clínica, enfermidades associadas, métodos, diagnósticos e conduta terapêutica.


The colonized intrapulmonary aspergilloma (CIPA) is characterized by the mass fungal in a existing pulmonary cavity, where the most commonly agent is the Aspergillus fumigatus. The pulmonary cavity is often result cured pulmonary tuberculosis with hemoptisis repletion history and bacilloscopy negative. The authors analyzed retrospectively 190 cases of CIPA from April 1978 to March 2008 in the University Hospital Lauro Wanderley and Hospital Complex Clementino Fraga emphasizing the incidence, clinical evolution, illness association, diagnosis method and treatment.

ABSTRACT

Pacientes com HIV e DPOC são mais facilmente acometidos pela colonização fúngica intracavitária pulmonar, a qual gera uma fibrose pericavitária, bem como epitelização endocavitária oriunda das comunicações brônquicas. Relata-se o caso de um paciente com DPOC o qual foi diagnosticado bola fúngica através de Tomografia de tórax. Através da fibrobroncoscopia, verificou- se a presença de leveduras com características morfológicas de Paracoccidióides brasiliensis.


Patients with HIV and COPD are more easily affected by fungal colonization in the lung cavity which generates a around the cavity fibrosis and epithelization internal cavities derives from the bronchi. It?s reported the case of a patient with COPD who was diagnosed fungal ball through tomography of the chest. The bronchoscopy there was the presence of yeast with morphological characteristics of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis.

ABSTRACT

Scedosporium species can cause colonization, superficial and deep localized infection or systemic disease, espe-cially in irnmunocompromised hosts. We report a case of localized infection due to Scedosporium apiospermum in a 47 year oíd woman, with previous nasal surgery. She consulted for recurrent mucopurulent post-nasal discharge not responding to antibiotics. Computed tomography showed opacification of right maxillary sinus. Surgery was performed to removed abnormal tissue from sinus; biopsy revealed chronic sinusitis with aggregate of tightly packed hyphae suggestive of filamentous fungi. The microbiology fungal culture reported Scedosporium apiospermum.


Las infecciones por Scedosporium sp pueden traducirse en colonización, infecciones localizadas superficiales y profundas, o enfermedad diseminada. Presentamos un caso clínico de infección rinosinusal por Scedosporium apiospermum en una paciente de 47 años, con antecedente de cirugía por cuerpo extraño en la fosa nasal derecha. Consultó por descarga posterior muco-purulenta y recurrente, sin respuesta a tratamiento antibacteriano. Las imágenes de cavidades paranasales mostraron opacidad del seno maxilar derecho. Se realizó cirugía de remoción de contenido sinusal cuyo estudio histológico reveló sinusitis crónica erosiva, colonias de hongos con morfología sugerente de hongo filamentoso y desarrollo de S. apiospermum en el cultivo.
