ABSTRACT

La fascitis nodular es una masa subcutánea, benigna, autolimitada, que puede simular un sarcoma de tejidos blandos en su presentación clínica e histopatológica. Debido a que la mayoría de las descripciones de esta condición provienen de pacientes caucásicos, es necesario enfatizar su existencia en poblaciones poco representadas en la literatura. Se presenta el caso de un paciente mexicano, masculino, de 49 años, quien fue inicialmente mal diagnosticado y tratado como quiste epidérmico. Tras la recurrencia de la lesión, se realizó una adecuada técnica de biopsia y estudios de imagen, confirmando el diagnóstico de fascitis nodular. El presente reporte resalta la importancia de abordar con cautela las masas subcutáneas que puedan simular tanto tumores benignos como malignos para mejorar el pronóstico de los pacientes.


Nodular fasciitis is a benign, self-limited, subcutaneous tumor that may resemble a soft tissue sarcoma both clinically and histopathologically. Since most descriptions derive from Caucasian patients, further awareness is necessary in underrepresented populations. Here, we present a case of nodular fasciitis in a 49-year-old Mexican male who had been misdiagnosed and mistreated as an epidermal cyst. After recurrence, an adequate biopsy and imaging studies confirmed the diagnosis of nodular fasciitis. This case illustrates the importance of properly studying subcutaneous masses that can mimic a wide array of benign and malignant tumors to improve overall patient prognosis.

ABSTRACT

SUMMARY Eosinophilic fasciitis, or Shulman's disease, is a rare disease of unknown etiology. It is characterized by peripheral eosinophilia, hypergammaglobulinemia, and high erythrocyte sedimentation rate. The diagnosis is confirmed by a deep biopsy of the skin. The first line of treatment is corticotherapy. We present a rare case of eosinophilic fasciitis in a 27-year-old woman with an atypical presentation with symmetrical peripheral edema and a Groove sign. The patient responded well to treatment with corticosteroids at high doses and, in this context, was associated with hydroxychloroquine and azathioprine. After two and a half years, peripheral eosinophilia had increased, and more of her skin had hardened. At that time, the therapy was modified to include corticoids, methotrexate, and penicillamine. It is of great importance to publicize these cases that allow us to gather experience and better treat our patients.


RESUMO A fasciite eosinofílica ou doença de Shulman é uma doença rara de etiologia desconhecida. É caracterizada por eosinofilia periférica, hipergamaglobulinemia e velocidade de sedimentação eritrocitária elevada. O diagnóstico é confirmado por biópsia profunda da pele. O tratamento de primeira linha é a corticoterapia. Apresentamos um caso raro de fasciite eosinofílica numa mulher de 27 anos com uma apresentação atípica com edema periférico simétrico e sinal de Groove. A paciente respondeu bem ao tratamento com corticoides, mas em doses elevadas, e, nesse contexto, associou-se hidroxicloroquina e azatioprina. Ao fim de dois anos e meio verificou-se aumento de eosinofilia e novamente pele mais endurecida. Nessa altura alterou-se a terapêutica para corticoides, metrotexato e penicilamina. É de grande importância a divulgação desses casos que nos permitem reunir experiência e assim melhor tratar os nossos doentes.

ABSTRACT

Las lesiones mamarias se dividen histológicamente en dos grandes grupos, malignas y benignas. Las lesiones malignas pueden ser de origen ductal o lobulillar, siendo el carcinoma ductal infiltrante la neoplasia invasiva más frecuente. Las lesiones benignas se clasifican en no proliferativas, proliferativas sin atipias y proliferativas con atipias. Dentro de los dos últimos grupos se encuentran entidades que conllevan un alto riesgo de desarrollar carcinoma de mama, como pueden ser la hiperplasia ductal atípica, la cicatriz radial o la neoplasia lobular. Revisamos en qué consisten dichas entidades y cuáles son sus características principales en imagen, fundamentalmente en mamografía y ecografía. Si tras realizar una biopsia se obtiene uno de esos diagnósticos histológicos, es importante analizar las características imagenológicas y el tipo de procedimiento realizado (número de cilindros obtenidos, calibre de aguja...), para realizar un adecuado manejo posterior. En algunos casos la actitud a seguir será la extirpación quirúrgica completa de la lesión, mientras que en otros se podrá realizar una extirpación percutánea (mediante biopsia con aguja de vacio), o incluso seguimiento estricto por imagen. Mediante diferentes casos mostraremos nuestra experiencia y analizaremos la literatura vigente para recordar esas entidades y llegar a un consenso adecuado sobre el manejo de las mismas.


Breast lesions are divided histologically into two large groups, malignant and benign. Malignant lesions may be of ductal or lobular origin, with infiltrating ductal carcinoma being the most frequent invasive neoplasm. Benign breast lesions are classified as proliferative, proliferative without atypia and proliferative with atypia. Within the last two classifications are entities that carry a high risk of developing breast carcinoma, such as atypical ductal hyperplasia, radial scar or lobular neoplasia. We review what these entities consist of and what are their fundamental characteristics in image, fundamentally in mammography and ultrasound. When we perform one of these histological diagnoses after a biopsy, it is important to analyze the radiological characteristics and the type of procedure performed (number of cylinders, needle gauge ...) to perform an appropriate posterior management. In some cases the attitude to be followed will be the complete surgical removal of the lesion, while in others a percutaneous excision (through vacuum needle biopsy) or even strict image follow-up may be performed. Through different cases we will show our experience and analyze current literature to remember these entities and reach an adequate management consensus.

ABSTRACT

Propósito: Presentar 3 casos de fascitisnodular de región facial. Método: Se realizó un estudio de los pacientes que comprendió examen físico, anàlisis de laboratorio y radiológico. Se describió la conducta quirúrgica o médica realizada en cada caso y su diagnóstico anatomopatológico. Resultados: Se mostró el método científico como única vía de llegar al diagnóstico certero, a pesar de enfrentar el reto de diagnosticar una entidad nosológica inusual en la cirugía maxilofacial. Se discutió la evolución de cada paciente y la literatura consultada. Conclusiones: Resulta muy útil la presentación de estos casos, pues esta tumoración presenta una localización muy poco frecuente en cara y su rápido crecimiento y evolución clínica son habitualmente difíciles de interpretar(AU)


Aim: To present 3 cases of nodular fasciitis in facial area. Method: A study was carried out in patients including physical examination, laboratory and radiologic analysis. Surgical or medical behavior was described present in each case with an anatomical and the pathological diagnosis was made. Results: Scientific method was the only route to achieve an accurate diagnosis despite the challenge of diagnosing an uncommon disease entity in maxillofacial surgery. In each patient the course was discussed as well as a literature review. Conclusions: The presentation of these cases is very essential since this tumor has a not much location in the face and its fast developmental and clinical course are often difficult to interpret(AU)
