ABSTRACT

Presentamos el caso clínico de una mujer de 58 años que consulta por episodios de epis-taxis autolimitadas por fosa nasal derecha asociados a hipersensibilidad al manipular dicha fosa nasal. A la exploración se evidenció en el septum nasal una lesión mucosa nodular, de consistencia dura y aspecto violáceo. Se llevó a cabo exéresis de la misma por vía endonasal, con resultado histopatológico de tumor glómico (TG) del septum nasal. El TG es una neoplasia benigna perivascular, derivada de las células musculares lisas presentes en el cuerpo glómico; estructura con función termorreguladora, formada por un shunt entre arteriolas y vénulas, sin presencia de red capilar. Los cuerpos glómicos están presentes, mayoritariamente, en extremidades (lecho ungueal). Los tumores glómicos son, verdaderamente, excepcionales en el área ORL, existiendo sólo una treintena de casos publicados hasta la fecha a nivel nasosinusal. La mayoría de casos se presentan entre la 5ᵃ y 6ᵃ década de la vida y más, frecuentemente, en mujeres. Plantea diagnóstico diferencial, fundamentalmente, con dos entidades: el paraganglioma (con el que no debe ser confundido desde el punto de vista terminológico ni histológico), y con el tumor fibroso solitario (antiguo hemangiopericitoma). El comportamiento es benigno y el tratamiento es la cirugía


We present the clinical case of a 58-year-old woman who consulted for episodes of self-limited epistaxis in the right nostril associated with hypersensitivity to manipulation of this nostril. Examination revealed a nodular mucosal lesion in the nasal septum, with a hard consistency and purplish appearance. The lesion was excised endonasally, with histopatho-logical result of a glomus tumor (GT) of the nasal septum. The GT is a benign perivascular neoplasm, derived from smooth muscle cells present in the glomus body; structure with thermoregulatory function, formed by a shunt between arterioles and venules, without the presence of capillary network. Glomus bodies are mostly present in the extremities (nail bed). Glomus tumors are truly exceptional in the ENT area, with only about thirty cases published to date at the nasosinusal level. Most cases occur between the 5th and 6th decade of life and more frequently in women. It raises differential diagnosis fundamentally with two entities: paraganglioma (with which it should not be confused from the terminological or histological point of view) and with solitary fibrous tumor (former hemangiopericytoma). The behavior is benign and the treatment is surgery.

ABSTRACT

Introducción. Los tumores glómicos provienen de los cuerpos glómicos, que son estructuras con función de termorregulación y se encuentran distribuidas por todo el cuerpo humano, principalmente a nivel distal de las extremidades, donde es común encontrar lesiones características, aunque hay reportes de casos que se presentaron como neoformación en localizaciones más inusuales. Su etiología aun es desconocida. No se sospechan en muchos pacientes y el diagnostico se realiza de manera incidental, por estudios imagenológicos o anatomopatológicos. Caso clínico. Paciente femenina de 66 años, con presencia de tumor glómico en vía aérea, diagnosticado por histopatología e inmunohistoquímica, que fue sometido a resección quirúrgica, con buena evolución posterior. Discusión. Esta presentación atípica de tumor glómico en vía aérea se manifiesta principalmente con síntomas y signos relacionados con obstrucción de la vía aérea. El manejo oportuno es primordial y el diagnóstico definitivo es por histopatología e inmunohistoquímica, donde se observan las características de las células glómicas, estructuras vasculares, músculo liso y la positividad en la inmunotinción de marcadores como actina del músculo liso, CD34, y actina específica del músculo, entre otras. Conclusión. Los tumores glómicos son neoformaciones benignas raras, con presentación más común en zonas distales. Su aparición depende de factores intrínsecos y extrínsecos de los pacientes. Su tasa de recidiva es muy baja en comparación de otros tumores


Introduction. Glomus tumors originate from glomus bodies, which are structures with thermoregulatory function and are distributed throughout the human body, mainly at the distal level of the extremities where it is common to find these characteristic lesions. Although, there are case reports of neoformation presentations with more unusual locations. Their etiology is still unknown. Many times when there is evidence of lesions in atypical areas they are not suspected in many patients and the diagnosis is made incidentally by imaging and/or anatomopathological studies. Clinical case. A 66-year-old female patient with the presence of a glomus tumor in the airway diagnosed by histopathology and immunohistochemistry, underwent surgical resection and presented good evolution after surgery. Discussion. This atypical presentation of glomus tumor in the airway presents mainly with symptoms and signs related to airway obstruction. Timely management is paramount in these patients, and the definitive diagnosis is by histopathology and immunohistochemistry where the presence of the characteristics of glomus cells, vascular structures, smooth muscle and immunostaining positivity towards some markers such as smooth muscle actin, CD34, muscle specific actin, among others, are seen. Conclusion. This type of tumors are rare benign neoformations, with common presentations in distal areas. Their appearance depends on intrinsic and extrinsic factors of the patients and their recurrence rate is very low compared to other tumors

ABSTRACT

Resumen Los paragangliomas (cuerpo carotideo) son tumores benignos de alta vascularización ubicados en la región de los quimiorreceptores del cuerpo carotideo. Respecto a su localización, el glomus carotídeo, es del 0,01% en relación a los otros tumores de tipo paranganglioma, se observa con mayor incidencia en habitantes de lugares de altitud, más frecuente en sexo femenino. Clínicamente se presenta como una tumoración en región cervical de progresivo crecimiento, indoloro y con frémito. Dentro de los exámenes de gabinete auxiliares para diagnóstico, estan: la Ecografia Doppler, la Tomografía Axial Computarizada, la Resonancia Magnética y la Arteriografía. La técnica quirúrgica más frecuente para abordar este tumor es la disección subadventicial. Presentamos el caso clínico de una mujer de 57 años con tumor cervical, que fue intervenida quirúrgicamente, previo exámenes de laboratorio y gabinete, para la resección total del tumor y posterior estudio anatomo-patológico que reportó: paraganglioma de cuerpo carotideo.


Abstract Paragangliomas (carotid body) are benign tumors with high vascularization located in the region of the carotid body chemoreceptors. Regarding its location, the carotid glomus is 0.01% in relation to other paranganglioma type tumors, it is observed with higher incidence in high altitude populations, more frequent in females. Clinically it presents as a tumor in the cervical region of progressive growth, painless and with fremitus. Among the auxiliary tests for diagnosis are: Doppler Ultrasound, Computerized Axial Tomography, Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Arteriography. The most frequent surgical technique to address this tumor is subadventitial dissection. We present the clinical case of a 57-year-old woman with a cervical mass, who underwent surgery, after preliminary laboratory tests, for total resection with subsequent anatomo-pathological study that reported: paraganglioma of the carotid body.

ABSTRACT

Resumen Introducción: la patología gástrica es excepcionalmente benigna, se registra a nivel mundial un porcentaje de aparición de las mismas del 0,005 %-4 %. Además de lo anterior, suele plantearse como primer diagnóstico diferencial un carcinoma gástrico, por lo que la mayoría de los pacientes termina en un procedimiento quirúrgico mayor. El objetivo de este estudio fue describir una serie de casos registrados en una institución de alta complejidad, así como la revisión de la literatura al respecto del tema. Pacientes y métodos: se realizó la revisión de las bases de datos del servicio de cirugía general de la Clínica Universitaria Colombia y se encontraron 4 tumores gástricos de presentación inusual, de los cuales se hizo revisión de la historia clínica y las imágenes disponibles (diagnósticas y de las piezas de cirugía). Resultados: en la revisión de la base de datos, se encontraron 4 casos, 2 de sexo femenino y 2 de sexo masculino, con una media de edad de 51 años (26-75 años). El 100 % de los pacientes tenía una lesión en la región antral y solo uno de ellos tenía una segunda lesión a nivel prepilórico. La totalidad de los pacientes fue llevada a gastrectomía subtotal con reconstrucción en Y de Roux por abordaje laparoscópico y la media de estancia hospitalaria fue de 3,5 días (2-6 días). Conclusión: para determinar la mejor opción de tratamiento en general en pacientes con lesiones gástricas siempre hay que considerar tanto las características endoscópicas y endosonográficas como las histológicas.


Abstract Introduction: Gastric pathology is exceptionally benign with a percentage of appearance between 0.005% - 4% worldwide. Moreover, gastric carcinoma is often suggested as the first differential diagnosis and for that reason, the outcome for a vast majority of admitted patients is a major surgical procedure. This study aims to describe a series of cases recorded in a high complexity medical institution and to carry out a literature review related to that subject. Patients and Methods: Databases from the general surgery service of the Clínica Universitaria Colombia were reviewed, and four unusual gastric tumors were found. A review of the related medical records and available images (diagnostic images and surgical elements) was performed. Results: After the database review, four cases were found: two female cases and two male cases, with a mean age of 51 years (26-75 years). All the patients had lesions in the antrum area and only one of them has an additional lesion in the prepyloric region. All patients were treated with a laparoscopic subtotal gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y reconstruction and the mean length of hospital stay was 3.5 days (2-6 days). Conclusion: It is required to consider the endoscopic, endosonographic, and histological examinations and their features to determine the best treatment for patients with gastric lesions.

ABSTRACT

Resumen El paraganglioma (PG) es una neoplasia infrecuente originada de las células paraganglionares, embriológicamente derivadas de la cresta neural. Se localizan en la cabeza, base de cráneo, cuello, mediastino, abdomen y pelvis. La mayor parte de los PG muestran un curso clínico benigno, sin embargo, algunos casos pueden mostrar un comportamiento biológico agresivo con invasión local y metástasis a distancia. Un avance significativo en patología molecular ha sido el reconocimiento que el 30%-40% de estas neoplasias presentan alteraciones genéticas. Se han descrito más de 45 genes involucrados, incluyendo mutaciones de la línea germinal succinato deshidrogenasa. Actualmente se recomienda hacer test genético a todos los portadores de PG incluyendo los de presentación esporádica. El PG más frecuente se ubica en la glándula suprarrenal llamado feocromocitoma. El diagnóstico definitivo se realiza con histología, sin embargo, el estudio imagenológico puede entregar una aproximación diagnóstica certera. Debido a la aceptación actual que todos los PG tienen potencial metastásico, el concepto de PG benigno y maligno ha cambiado a uno de estimación de riesgo de metástasis, aunque no existe un esquema único aceptado para tal efecto. El tratamiento considera la cirugía, la radioterapia, la observación y terapias combinadas. Dado el lento crecimiento de este tipo de neoplasia y las potenciales complicaciones de la terapia quirúrgica, la observación es una opción especialmente para pacientes añosos dejando las otras opciones para pacientes más jóvenes. En este trabajo se presenta un caso de paraganglioma yugular bilateral gigante tratado con radioterapia de intensidad modulada incluyendo una revisión bibliográfica pertinente.


Abstract Paraganglioma (PG) is a rare neoplasm derived from paraganglionic cells of the neural crest. They are located in the head, skull base, neck, mediastinum, abdomen and pelvis. Most PGs show a benign clinical course, however, some cases may show aggressive biological behavior with local invasion and distant metastasis. A significant advance in molecular pathology has been the recognition that 30%-40% of these neoplasms present genetic alterations; more than 45 genes have been described, including mutations of the germline succinate dehydrogenase. Currently it is recommended to make genetic test to all patients with PG, including sporadic presentation. The most frequent PG is located in the adrenal gland called pheochromocytoma. The definitive diagnosis is made with histology; however, the imaging study can provide an accurate diagnostic approach. It is now accepted that all PG have a metastatic potential, therefore the concept of benign or malignant has been changed to a metastasis risk stratification approach however no single scheme is been widely used. The treatment considers surgery, radiotherapy, observation and combination therapies. Given the slow growth of this type of neoplasia and the potential complications of surgical therapy, observation is an option especially for elderly patients leaving the other options for younger patients. In this work we present a case of giant bilateral jugular paraganglioma treated with intensity modulated radiation therapy, including a pertinent literature review.

ABSTRACT

El tumor glómico es una neoplasia vascular originada de las células del músculo liso del componente neuromioarterial, responsable del control del flujo sanguíneo microvascular. Representa el 1,6% de todos los tumores de tejidos blandos, localizándose principalmente en la zona subungüeal y clínicamente muy doloroso. Su diagnóstico puede ser tardío debido a su pequeño tamaño, manifestaciones clínicas inespecíficas y localizaciones anatómicas inusuales. El tratamiento principalmente es quirúrgico, el cual es curativo, permitiendo además la confirmación histopatológica. Se presenta el reporte de caso de una paciente de 13 años de edad con un tumor glómico de localización inusual en mucosa bucal.


The glomus tumor is a vascular neoplasm originating from smooth muscle cells of neuromyoarterial component, responsible for the control of microvascular blood flow. It represents 1.6% of all soft tissue tumors, being located mainly in the subungual area and clinically very painful. Diagnosis may be delayed because of their small size, nonspecific clinical manifestations and unusual anatomical locations. Treatment is primarily surgical, which is healing, also allowing the histopathologic confirmation. The case report of a 13-year-old patient with an unusual-located glomus tumor in the oral mucosa is presented.

ABSTRACT

Neurofibromatose tipo I (NF1) é uma doença autossômica dominante, com incidência de 1/2.500-3.000 nascimentos e prevalência de aproximadamente 1/4.000-5.000 indivíduos; é causada por mutações genéticas no gene NF1, que afetam tecidos neurais e cutâneos. Tumor glômico é uma neoplasia benigna originada do glomo, uma estrutura neuromioatrial da pele presente nas pontas dos dedos e envolvida na termorregulação. São considerados historicamente tumores isolados esporádicos, porém existem estudos que comprovam sua relação com a neurofibromatose tipo I. Pacientes com neurofibromatose tipo 1 devem ser investigados. O relato de caso fornece suporte adicional à noção de que NF1 tem um risco associado a múltiplos tumores glômicos.


Neurofibromatosis type I (NF1) is an autosomal dominant disease, with an incidence of 1/2,500-3,000 births and a prevalence of approximately 1/4,000-5,000 individuals. Genetic mutations in the NF1 gene cause it, affecting neural and skin tissues. Glomus tumor is a benign neoplasm originating from the glomus, a neuromyoatrial structure of the skin present at the fingertips and involved in thermoregulation. The literature historically considered these tumors isolated and sporadic, but some studies have proved a relationship with neurofibromatosis type I. Thus, patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 should be investigated. The case report provides additional support for the notion that NF1 has a risk associated with multiple glomus tumors.

ABSTRACT

O tumor do corpo carotídeo (TCC) é uma neoplasia rara, mas entre os paragangliomas é o mais freqüente, com incidência de 1: 1.170.000. Desenvolve-se na adventícia do vaso, próximo à bifurcação carotídea, afetando principalmente indivíduos entre a quarta e a quinta décadas de vida. É um tumor de crescimento lento, geralmente benigno e unilateral, e 10% deles são familiares. Em cerca de 5% dos casos, a lesão é bilateral, atingindo 32% se autossômica dominante. Podem ser assintomáticos até se manifestarem como uma massa cervical pulsante, de crescimento lento, indolor, na região lateral do pescoço, próximo ao ângulo da mandíbula. A TCC pode causar rouquidão e dificuldade de deglutição por compressão extrínseca e também síndrome do corpo carotídeo hipersensível (SCCHS). Esta síndrome é conseqüência da hiperestimulação dos barorreceptores, causando hipotensão postural, acompanhada de diaforese, pré-síncope ou síncope. Neste relato descrevemos uma paciente de 17 anos com TCC familiar e SCCHS, diagnosticada e tratada com sucesso, evoluindo sem seqüelas e assintomática. (AU)


Carotid body tumor (CBT) is a rare neoplasm, but among paragangliomas it is the most frequent, with an incidence of 1: 1,170,000. It develops in the adventitia of the vessel, near the carotid bifurcation, affecting mainly individuals between the fourth and fifth decades of life. It is a slow-growing tumor, usually benign and unilateral, and 10% of them are familial. In about 5% of the cases, the lesion is bilateral, reaching 32% if it is autosomal dominant. They may be asymptomatic until they manifest as a slowly growing, painless, pulsatile cervical mass in the lateral region of the neck, near the angle of the mandible. CBT can cause hoarseness and difficulty of swallowing by extrinsic compression and also hypersensitive carotid body syndrome (SCCHS). This syndrome is a consequence of hyperstimulation of the baroreceptors, causing postural hypotension, accompanied by diaphoresis, pre-syncope or syncope. In this case report we describe a 17-year-old patient with familial CBT and SCCHS, diagnosed and treated successfully, evolving without sequelae and asymptomatic. (AU)

ABSTRACT

El glomangiopericitoma es un tumor nasosinusal extremadamente raro, más frecuente en pacientes de edad avanzada y en mujeres. Si bien su etiopatogenia es desconocida, se reconocen ciertos factores predisponentes tales como hipertensión arterial, embarazo, trauma y uso de corticoides. Para su diagnóstico, resulta necesario recurrir tanto a estudio por imágenes como a la histología y técnicas de inmunohistoquímica. Microscópicamente se caracteriza por un prominente crecimiento perivascular de células uniformes ovales o fusiformes, dispuestas en fascículos cortos intercalados con capilares de diámetros variables ramificados en "asta de ciervo" y presenta inmuno-rreactividad positiva para actina, factor XIII-A y vimentina principalmente. Clínicamente este tumor presenta un comportamiento generalmente benigno, pero con una elevada tasa de recurrencia. Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 71 años, con antecedentes de hipertensión arterial, que acudió a nuestro centro por rinorrea purulenta y epistaxis unilateral derecha de 5 años de evolución. Al examen se observa masa polipoidea en fosa nasal derecha con abundante vascularización, sin otros hallazgos al examen físico. La lesión es resecada en su totalidad mediante cirugía endoscópica. El estudio histológico e inmunohistoquímico son compatibles con glomangiopericitoma. La paciente evoluciona con remisión de su sintomatología y a los dos meses desde la resección no ha presentado evidencias de recurrencia.


Glomangiopericytoma is an extremely rare sinonasal tumor, more common among elderly and women. Although its etiology and pathogeny are unknown, there are certain predisposing factors, such as arterial hypertension, pregnancy, trauma and corticosteroids. To diagnose this tumor, it is necessary imaging, histopathologic and inmunohistochemical studies. At the microscopic study, it is characterized by a prominent perivascular growth of oval-shaped or fusiform cells, arranged in short fascicles separated by capillary vessels of variable diameters, with staghorn-like ramifications, and lmmunohistochemistry positive mainly for actin, XIII-A factor and vimentin. Clinically, this tumor has a generally benign behavior, but with high recurrence percentage. We present the case of a 71 years old woman, with history of hypertension, who present in our center with a 5 years history of purulent rhinorrhea and right unilateral epistaxis, at the physical exam there is a polypoid mass in the right nasal fossa with rich vascularization, with no other findings. This tumor was resected entirely with endoscopic surgery. Histology and immunohistochemistry were compatible witch gomangiopericytoma. The patient evolve with remission of her symptoms and with no signs of recurrence at two-month follow-up.

ABSTRACT

Se describe el caso clínico de un paciente de 61 años de edad, atendido en la consulta de Ortopedia y Traumatología del Hospital General Docente "Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso" de Santiago de Cuba, por presentar aumento de volumen en el grueso artejo derecho desde hacía más de un año, con elevación y deformidad de la uña, lo cual dificultaba el uso del calzado. Se realizó la exéresis de la uña y de los 2 tercios distales de la falange distal del grueso artejo. Los resultados de los exámenes complementarios efectuados y la evaluación histológica informaron que se trataba de un tumor glómico sin evidencias de malignidad. A los 30 días habían desaparecido completamente las molestias, de manera que se incorporó a sus actividades laborales habituales.


The case report of a 61 year-old patient is described, who was attended in Orthopedics and Traumatology Department of "Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso" General Teaching Hospital of Santiago de Cuba, due to an increased volume in the right great toe for over a year, with elevation and deformity of the nail, which prevented him from wearing shoes. Exeresis of the nail and the distal two thirds of the distal phalanx of great toe was performed. The results of complementary tests and histological evaluation revealed a glomus tumor with no evidence of malignancy. At 30 days discomfort had completely disappeared, so that he returned to his usual working activities.

ABSTRACT

El tumor glómico es un tumor mesenquimatoso tipo vascular benigno. Se origina de la modificación de las células de músculo liso del cuerpo gnómico, que son comúnmente observados en el dermis o en tejido células subcutáneo. Su aparición es rara en el tracto gastrointestinal. Se presentó el caso de un paciente masculino de 62 años de edad que acude por acidez y dolor en epigastrio al que se le realiza endoscopia con hallazgo de masa tumoral de 3 cm cubierto por mucosa sana localizado en cara posterior de cuerpo gástrico. Fue realizado estudio de rayos X contrastado, biopsia por ponchamiento y, posteriormente, gastrectomía subtotal. El estudio histopatológico demostró un tumor glómico gástrico, se le concluyó su estudio con la aplicación de inmunohistoquimica. Por las dificultades para su diagnóstico preoperatorio y constituir el estudio histopatológico la única forma de determinar la naturaleza de esta lesión submucosa gástrica con sus características típicas, se decidió presentar este caso, posiblemente el primero diagnosticado en Cuba.


The glomic tumor is mesenchymal tumor of benign vascular type. It arises from the modification of the cells of the plain muscles of the gnomic body, commonly observed in the dermis or in subcutaneous cellular tissues. It is rarely found in the gastrointestinal tract. We presented the case of a male patient, aged 62 years, who assisted the consultation because of sourness and epigastrium pain. As a result of an endoscopy we found a 3 cm tumoral mass covered by healthy mucous located on the back side of the gastric body. A contrasted X-rays study, a biopsy by puncture, and a subtotal gastrectomy were carried out. The histopathologic study showed a glomic gastric tumor, and its study was ended with the application of immunohistochemistry. Because of the difficulties for its pre surgical diagnosis, and because the histopathologic study is the unique form of determining the nature of this gastric submucous lesion with its typical characteristics, we decided to present this case, probably the first one diagnosed in Cuba.

ABSTRACT

Os autores relatam um caso de tumor glômico em ramo da artéria radial que irriga o polegar direito, com história clínica de 4 meses. O doente referia o aparecimento de tumoração de aproximadamente 2,0 centímetros na região interdigital, entre o primeiro e o segundo quirodactilos da mão direita, sobre o músculo flexor curto do polegar, extremamente dolorosa e com dor em progressão. Os exames com aparelho de Doppler bidirecional e o eco-color-Doppler apresentaram, como diagnóstico presuntivo, malformação arteriovenosa, pelo turbilhonamento do fluxo e ausência de estenoses. A tumoração foi retirada por cirurgia aberta e encaminhada para exame histopatológico, com diagnóstico de glomangioma. Este relato descreve uma doença arterial pouco frequente, que causa extremo desconforto ao seu portador, mas que é solucionada pela exerese cirúrgica, sem sequelas.


We report on a case of glomus tumor in the branch of the radial artery of the right thumb. The tumor had a 4-year clinical history. The patient reported the development of a 2.0-cm tumor in the interdigital region between the first and second fingers of the right hand on the short flexor muscle of thumb. The patient also complained of severe and progressive pain. Tests using bidirectional Doppler and echo-color-Doppler revealed a presumptive diagnosis of arteriovenous malformation based on the turbulence of the flow and absence of stenosis. The tumor was removed by open surgery and sent for histopathological examination, which showed a diagnosis of glomangioma. The present report describes a rare arterial disease causing extreme discomfort to the patient, which may be treated with surgical resection without sequelae.

ABSTRACT

The glomus tumor is an uncommon benign neoplasm of glomus cells. In the majority of the cases it is presented as a solitary painful papule in the subungual region. We report a rare case of a patient with two individual synchronous glomus tumors under the nail bed of the same finger.


O tumor glômico é uma neoplasia benigna de células glômicas. Na maioria dos casos se apresenta como uma pápula solitária dolorosa na região subungueal. Relatamos o caso raro de um paciente com dois tumores glômicos sincrônicos sob o leito ungueal do mesmo dedo.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: O tumor glômico é lesão benigna rara que ocorre mais comumente em falanges distais e representa de 1% a 4,5% das neoplasias da mão. O tipo subungueal é mais frequente em mulheres nas terceira e quinta décadas de vida. Objetivo: Este trabalho objetivou avaliar o perfil epidemiológico de pacientes com tumor glômico, sua satisfação em relação ao tratamento, e a recidiva por retirada incompleta. Método: Estudaram-se os prontuários de oito pacientes com diagnóstico de tumor glômico tratados em serviço de dermatologia de 1992 a 2011 avaliando-se sexo, idade, profissão, região acometida, satisfação do paciente em relação ao tratamento e se houve recidiva. Resultados: A média de idade dos casos foi de 63 anos, superior à faixa etária descrita pela literatura. A profissão mais relacionada foi "prendas domésticas". Todos os pacientes ficaram satisfeitos com o tratamento do ponto de vista estético. A melhora da dor foi plena em três dos seis pacientes que retornaram para avaliação. Naqueles em que a melhora não foi total, houve recidiva. A taxa de recidiva por retirada incompleta foi de 50%. Conclusão: Conclui-se a persistência da dor como indicadora de recidiva e percebe-se a efetividade da cirurgia na melhora da dor.


Introduction: Glomus tumors are rare benign lesions that are most often found on the tips of the fingers; they account for 1.0-4.5% of neoplasias on the hand. Subungual glomus tumors occur more frequently in women in their 30s and 50s. Objective: This study evaluated glomus tumor patients' epidemiological profiles, their satisfaction with the treatment and the rate of recurrence due to incomplete removal. Method: The records of patients that were treated for glomus tumors at a dermatology clinic between 1992 and 2011 were evaluated regarding gender, age, profession, affectedarea of the body, satisfaction with the treatment and possible recurrence. Results: The patients (n = 8, average 63 years) were older than those usually described in the literature. The most frequently described profession was that of housewife. All patients were satisfied with the aesthetic results of the treatment. There was a total improvement of the pain in threepatients, while patients with a partial improvement in pain experienced a recurrence. The recurrence rate due to incomplete removal was 50%. Conclusion: The surgery's effectiveness can be measured by the improvement of the pain; persistence of pain can indicate recurrence.

ABSTRACT

Aneurismas de carótida interna extracranianos (ACIE) são raros e o diagnóstico pode ser feito com ultrassonografia, tomografia computadorizada com contraste, ressonância nuclear magnética e angiografia. Este último é fundamental para definir a anatomia vascular e a melhor estratégia para o acesso operatório. O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar e discutir um caso de aneurisma de artéria carótida interna extracraniano cujo diagnóstico definitivo foi realizado no intraoperatório, uma vez que, embora este diagnóstico tenha sido sugerido pela ultrassonografia pré-operatória, a tomografia computadorizada e a ressonância nuclear magnética com reconstrução arterial indicaram tratar-se de um tumor glômico.


Extracranial internal carotid artery aneurysm is rare and the diagnosis is made by ultrasonography, computed tomography scan with contrast, magnetic resonance imaging and carotid angiography. The latter is important to define the vascular anatomy and best surgical approach. The aim of this study is to present and discuss a case of extracranial internal carotid artery aneurysm diagnosed intraoperatively. Ultrasonography suggested a carotid artery aneurysm but CT and angiographic nuclear scanning erroneously indicated a glomus tumor.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: O tumor glômico é uma lesão neoplásica benigna, geralmente única, quese forma no glomo terminal. Esta estrutura é uma anastomose arteriovenosa subcutâneadistribuída por toda a superfície corporal, em particular nos leitos ungueais, polpas digitais,palmas das mãos e plantas dos pés. Apesar da sua raridade, recebe atenção especialpor seus sintomas caracterizados por dor paroxística, sensibilidade à pressão do local, aofrio e por sua localização típica na ponta do dedo. O diagnóstico inicial é raramente feito,levando os pacientes a apresentarem os sintomas por meses e até anos, sem o diagnósticoe tratamento adequados. Objetivo: O objetivo desse trabalho é evidenciar o método diagnósticoclínico e histopatológico do tumor glômico, e a utilização da microscopia em seutratamento cirúrgico. Resultados: Observou-se grande diminuição nos casos de recidiva,com retorno funcional do órgão acometido e melhora da saúde física, funcional e psicossocialdo paciente. Conclusão: A exérese do tumor mostrou-se eficaz e os resultados foramplenamente satisfatórios, não havendo complicações pós-operatórias significativas, nemrecidivas até o momento.


Introduction: The glomus tumor is rare subungueal pathology that consists of a neuromyoarterial.Glomus bodies sensible to temperature oscillations, that regulate arteriolarflow, located at the arteriolar-venula anastomosis. The main symptom of this pathology isan excruciating pain leading to functional limitation of the Lyme. Objective: The purposethis study is to highlight its clinical and histopathological diagnosis, as well as the use ofmicrocopy on its surgical treatment. Results: The treatment resulted in a great reduction ofrecurrence, with functional recovery of the limb and improvement of apaticutp’s physical,social and psycosocial health. Conclusion: The surgical resection of the tumor was efficientand the results were very satisfactory, with no significant post operative complications andno recurrence.
