ABSTRACT

Primary splenic hydatid cyst is a rare entity even in endemic areas. In most cases it presents asymptomatically being diagnosed by imaging findings. Treatment is multimodal and individualized, being surgical treatment the one that allows an integral solution of the disease. Conventional surgery continues to be the "Gold standard" in its approach. We present the case of a patient with this condition and the resolution approached by the surgical team.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN: Los quistes primarios del bazo (QPB), son lesiones poco frecuentes en patología quirúrgica; los mayores de 5 cm o sintomáticos deben ser tratados quirúrgicamente para evitar el riesgo de complicaciones. Se debe realizar un examen histopatológico para confirmar el subtipo de quiste esplénico y descartar una eventual transformación maligna del revestimiento epitelial pluripotencial. El objetivo de este manuscrito fue reportar un caso de QPB intervenido quirúrgicamente y revisar la evidencia existente respecto de sus características morfológicas, terapéuticas y pronósticas. Caso clínico: Se trata de una mujer de 18 años (MAC), que consultó por distensión abdominal progresiva, de varios meses de evolución. La tomografía abdominal reveló la existencia de una masa heterogénea de 21 cm de diámetro mayor, en relación con el colon transverso y la curva mayor gástrica. El examen intraoperatorio reveló una masa sólido-quística que surgía del mesocolon transverso. La cirugía consistió en la esplenectomía y exéresis en bloque del tumor. La paciente evolucionó de forma satisfactoria, dándose de alta al quinto día del postoperatorio. El diagnóstico de quiste epitelial esplénicose estableció en base al examen patológico de la pieza quirúrgica. Cursando su 6º mes postoperatorio sin inconvenientes. Se realizó control tomográfico, que permitió verificar un bazo supernumerario funcionante.


SUMMARY: Primary splenic cysts (PSC) are rare lesions in surgical pathology; those symptomatic, or greater than 5 cm, should be treated surgically to avoid the risk of complications. A histopathological examination should be performed to confirm the splenic cyst subtype and rule out a possible malignant transformation of the pluripotential epithelial lining. The aim of this manuscript was to report a case of PSC who had undergone surgery and to review the existing evidence regarding its morphological, therapeutic and prognostic characteristics. An 18- year-old woman (MAC), consulted for progressive abdominal distention of several months of evolution. Abdominal tomography revealed the existence of a large heterogeneous mass, 21 cm in diameter, in relation to the transverse colon and the greater gastric curve. Intraoperative examination revealed a solid cystic mass arising from the transverse mesocolon. Surgery consisted of splenectomy and in-block excision of the tumor. The patient evolved satisfactorily and was discharged on the fifth postoperative day. Diagnosis of epithelial splenic cyst was established based on the pathological examination of the surgical specimen. At six months postoperative the patient had evolved satisfactorily without complications. Following abdominal tomography control a functioning supernumerary spleen was confirmed.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCIÓN: La echinococcosis esplénica (EE), suele ser una enfermedad asintomática cuyo diagnóstico se plantea de forma incidental. OBJETIVO: Determinar morbilidad post-operatoria (MPO) y recurrencia en pacientes intervenidos quirúrgicamente por EE. Material y MÉTODO: Serie de casos con seguimiento, de pacientes con EE intervenidos de forma consecutiva, entre 2000 y 2018. Las variables resultado fueron MPO y recurrencia. Otras variables de interés fueron: diámetro y localización del quiste, tipo de cirugía, tiempo quirúrgico, estancia hospitalaria, y mortalidad. Los pacientes fueron seguidos de forma clínica y con imágenes por un mínimo de 18 meses. Se utilizó estadística descriptiva, con medidas de tendencia central y dispersión. RESULTADOS: Se intervinieron 26 pacientes (53,8% hombres), con una mediana de edad de 41,5 años. Las medianas del diámetro de los quistes, el tiempo quirúrgico y el tiempo de hospitalización fueron 14,5 cm; 65 minutos y 4,5 días, respectivamente. La MPO fue 11,5% (3 casos). No hubo mortalidad. Con una mediana de seguimiento de 94 meses, se verificó una recurrencia de 3,8%. CONCLUSIÓN: Los resultados verificados, en términos de MPO, mortalidad y recurrencia son apropiados en comparación a otras series publicadas.


BACKGROUND: Splenic echinococcosis (SE) is usually an asymptomatic disease whose diagnosis is made incidentally. Aim: To determine postoperative morbidity (POM) and recurrence in patients who underwent surgery for SE. METHODS: Case series with follow-up, of patients with SE operated on, consecutively, between 2000 and 2018. The outcome variables were POM and recurrence. Other variables of interest were diameter and location of the cyst, type of surgery, surgical time, hospital stay, and mortality. The patients were followed up clinically and with images for a minimum of 18 months. Descriptive statistics were used, with measures of central tendency and dispersion. RESULTS: Twenty-six patients (53.8% men), with a median age of 41.5 years, underwent surgery in this period. The medians of cysts diameter, surgical time and hospital stay were 14.5 cm, 65 min, and 4.5 days respectively. POM was 11.5% (3 cases). There was no mortality. With a median follow-up of 94 months, a recurrence of 3.8% was verified. CONCLUSION: Verified results, in terms of POM, mortality and recurrence are appropriate in comparison with those of series of similar size and follow-up.

Materiales y Métodos: Mujer de 36 años con dolor en hipocondrio izquierdo por 1 año de evolución. El estudio topográfico objetivó lesión esplénica quística de 67 mm. Se realizó esplenectomía laparoscópica sin incidentes. Resultado: Evolución posoperatoria favorable. Histología compatible con hidatidosis esplénica. Discusión: La incidencia de hidatidosis esplénica es baja, incluso en áreas endémicas, aproximándose al 1-2%. La cirugía es la estrategia terapéutica de elección dado los riesgos de ruptura, sin embargo, no hay consenso respecto a la técnica de elección. Conclusión: La esplenectomía laparoscópica es una herramienta segura y avalada en la literatura.


Objective: Describe a case report of a hydatid splenic cyst of one year of evolution, treated by laparoscopy. Materials and Methods: A 36-year-old woman with left upper quadrant pain for 1 year. The topographic study showed a 67mm splenic cystic lesion. Laparoscopic splenectomy was performed without incident. Result: Favorable post-operative evolution. Histology compatible with splenic hydatidosis. Discussion: The incidence of splenic hydatidosis is low, even in endemic areas, approaching 1-2%. Surgery is the therapeutic strategy of choice, given the risks of rupture. However, there is no consensus regarding the technique. Conclusion: Laparoscopic splenectomy is a safe procedure supported by the literature.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: Las lesiones quísticas esplénicas son poco frecuentes; pueden ser clasificadas en primarias y secundarias según la presencia de revestimiento epitelial. Los quistes parasitarios son provocados por especies de Equinococcus y su manejo es específico. Suelen ser lesiones asintomáticas y el tratamiento depende de su tamaño y de la aparición de manifestaciones clínicas. El abordaje quirúrgico tradicional ha sido la esplenectomía, pero con el reconocimiento de las complicaciones inmunológicas, han tenido auge las alternativas que conservan parénquima esplénico. Objetivo: Comunicar la experiencia en el manejo quirúrgico de esta enfermedad en nuestro centro. Resultados: Se presenta la serie de 11 casos de quistes esplénicos no parasitarios que recibieron tratamiento quirúrgico durante los últimos 15 años. La mayoría de las intervenciones fueron laparoscópicas y no se registró morbimortalidad. Discusión: En el tratamiento de los quistes del bazo no parasitarios actualmente se reconoce el valor de preservar parénquima y función esplénica. La esplenectomía, cirugía cuyo estándar actual es mediante laparoscopia, ha sido progresivamente desplazada por alternativas conservadoras. Las opciones terapéuticas dependen del desarrollo de síntomas, del tamaño y de la ubicación de las lesiones. Conclusiones: Los quistes esplénicos son poco frecuentes. Ante la necesidad de tratamiento quirúrgico el abordaje laparoscópico y las cirugías que conservan parénquima esplénico deberían ser de elección.


Introduction: Splenic cysts are rare. They have been classified in primary or secondary lesions based on the presence or absence of an epithelial lining. Parasitic cysts are caused by Echinococcus spp. and have a particular management. Splenic cysts are usually asymptomatic, treatment depends on the development of symptoms and diameter. Traditionally, splenectomy has been the standard surgery, but updated knowledge about the role of the spleen in preventing some infections has led to more conservative options. Objective: To report our experience in surgical management of the disease. Results: Our series includes 11 patients with non-parasitic splenic cysts treated surgically, during the last 15 years. Most were laparoscopic interventions and no morbidity or mortality was registered. Discussion: Surgical treatment for non-parasitic splenic cysts actually favours conservative techniques; salvage of the spleen whenever possible is fully justified based on updated knowledge of the role it plays in promoting protection against infection. Splenectomy, nowadays performed by laparoscopy, has been partially displaced. Treatment options depends on the cyst diameter, development of symptoms and localization. Conclusions: Splenic cysts are unfrequent. If surgical treatment is needed, laparoscopy and interventions conserving splenic parenchyma should be the election.

ABSTRACT

Saprochaete capitata (S. capitata) fungal sepsis is a severe condition with a clinical presentation that is similar to other yeast originated fungal sepsis. It is observed in patients with hematological malignancies such as acute myeloid leukemia and neutropenia. We report a 23 year old male presenting with cough, fever and malaise. A bone marrow biopsy led to the diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia. During the first cycle of chemotherapy the patient presented fever: blood cultures were positive for Klebsiella pneumoniae. Despite antimicrobial treatment, fever persisted; a computed tomography showed a focal splenic lesion; a left exudative pleural effusion appeared. A Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time of Flight mass spectrometry identified the presence of S. capitata. After multiple antifungal treatments and pleural cavity cleansing by means of videothoracoscopy and laparoscopic splenectomy, the infection resolved and the patient completed his chemotherapy.

ABSTRACT

Los quistes esplénicos gigantes y no parasitarios son infrecuentes. Estas lesiones pueden manifestarse como dolor abdominal, si bien a menudo son asintomáticas y se diagnostican en forma incidental. Objetivo: Presentar el caso de un quiste esplénico epitelial gigante por su interés en la toma de decisiones diagnósticas y terapéuticas, al ser una entidad muy poco frecuente.
 Caso clínico: Paciente de sexo femenino de 13 años de edad que consultó por dolor abdominal de dos meses de evolución. En la exploración física se palpaba una masa de consistencia dura en hemiabdomen izquierdo. En los estudios de imágenes se visualizó una masa esplénica quística gigante. Se realizó esplenectomía obteniendo un quiste subcapsular que comprometía la mayor parte del bazo, el estudio anatomopatológico e inmunohistoquímico fueron compatible con quiste epitelial. La evolución postoperatoria y el posterior seguimiento ambulatorio fueron favorables. Conclusiones: El tratamiento de los quiste esplénicos gigantes no parasitarios es quirúrgico, intentando conservar, en lo posible, la mayor cantidad de tejido esplénico. Este procedimiento debe ser individualizado, considerando el tamaño, las posibilidades diagnósticas, el tejido esplénico residual, la edad del paciente y comorbilidades.


Giant nonparasitic splenic epidermoid cysts are relatively uncommon. These lesions can lead abdominal pain, but most of then are asymptomatic, and they are discovered incidentally. We report a 13-y old female with a giant splenic epidermoid cystic, given the special interest of diagnostic and therapeutic decision-making of this rare entity. Case report: A 13-y old female with clinical history of abdominal pain since the last two months. On physical examination a firm, tender mass was palpable in left hypochondrium. Diagnosis of a large cystic splenic mass was made based on ultrasound and abdominal computed tomography scan. Splenectomy was performed, and histopathological-immunohistochemistry studies revealed findings suggestive of primary epithelial cyst. The post-operative clinical course was satisfactory and uneventful. Conclusions: Treatment of giant nonparasitic splenic cysts is surgical. Preserve splenic parenchyma must be the aim in an individualized decision-making. The different types of surgical modalities will be according to the diagnosis and clinical situation (cyst size, age, comorbidities).

ABSTRACT

Os cistos esplênicos são raros, podem ser congênitos ou adquiridos e são encontrados, muitas vezes, em exames incidentais. Aparecem como tumorações na topografia do hipocôndrio esquerdo, associados a sintomas obstrutivos e dor abdominal. Os pseudocistos são formados por uma camada de tecido fibroso, sem revestimento epitelial, e têm como fator etiológico mais provável o trauma esplênico prévio. Atualmente, o ultrassom abdominal é o método mais importante para o diagnóstico de cisto esplênico, pois evita a realização de exames mais agressivos. Para o tratamento de cisto esplênico sintomático de grande tamanho, não parasítico, com risco aumentado de ruptura e etiologia desconhecida, a indicação de escolha é a esplenectomia. Este relato objetiva apresentar essa doença incomum, ressaltando seu quadro clínico, métodos diagnósticos e tratamento (AU)


Splenic cysts are rare, can be congenital or acquired, and are most often found in incidental exams. They appear as tumors in the left hypochondrium, in association with obstructive symptoms and abdominal pain. Pseudocysts are formed by fibrous tissue layer, without epithelial coating, and their most probable cause is previous splenic trauma. Nowadays, abdominal ultrasound is the most important method for the diagnosis of splenic cyst, avoiding more aggressive exams. For symptomatic, large, non-parasitic splenic cysts with high risk of rupture and unknown etiology, splenectomy is indicated. This report intends to present this uncommon disease, emphasizing its clinical condition, diagnostic methods, and treatment (AU)

ABSTRACT

Background: Delaitre and Maignien performed the first successful laparoscopic splenectomy in 1991. After that, laparoscopic splenectomy has become one of the most frequently performed laparoscopic solid organ procedures. Aim: To demonstrate the surgical techique of laparoscopic splenetomy with reduced portals. Methods: A reduce port laparoscopic splenectomy was performed by using a 10 mm and two 5 mm trocars. To entered the abdomen a trans-umbilical open technique was done and a 10 mm trocar was placed. A subcostal 5 mm trocar was placed under direct vision at the level of the anterior axillary line and another 5 mm port was inserted at the mid-epigastric region. Once it was completely dissected and freed from all of its attachments the hilum, splenic artery and vein, was clipped with hem-o-lock and divided with scissors. Then an endobag was used to retrieve the spleen after being morcellated trough the umbilical incision. Results: This technique was used in a 15 years old female with epigastric and left upper quadrant pain. An abdominal ultrasound demonstrated a giant cyst located in the spleen. Laboratory tests findings were normal. The CT scan was also done, and showed a giant cyst, which squeeze the stomach. The patient tolerated well the procedure, with an unremarkable postoperative. She was discharge home 72 h after the surgery. Conclusion: The use of reduce port minimizes abdominal trauma and has the hypothetical advantages of shorter postoperative stay, greater pain control, and better cosmesis. Laparoscopic splenectomy for giant cysts by using reduce port trocars is safe and feasible and less invasive.


Racional: Delaitre e Maignien realizaram a primeira esplenectomia laparoscópica bem sucedida em 1991. Depois disso, a esplenectomia laparoscópica tornou-se um dos procedimentos laparoscópicos de órgãos sólidos mais frequentemente realizadas. Objetivo: Demonstrar a técnica cirúrgica de esplenectomia laparoscópica com portais reduzidos. Métodos: A esplenectomia laparoscópica reduzida em potais foi realizada usando um trocarte de 10 mm e dois de 5 mm. A entrada abdominal se dá pela técnica aberta trans-umbilical e um trocarte de 10 mm foi aí colocado. Um de 5 mm subcostal foi colocado sob visão direta no nível da linha axilar anterior e outra trocarte de 5 mm foi inserido na região médio-epigástrica. Uma vez completamente dissecado e liberado todos os seus ligamentos do hilo, a artéria e veia esplênicas foram ligadas com hem-o-lock e seccionado com tesoura. Em seguida, um Endobag foi usado para retirar o baço após ser ele morcelado através da incisão umbilical. Resultado: Esta técnica foi utilizada em uma jovem de 15 anos com dor epigástrica e em hipocôndrio esquerdo. Ultrassom abdominal mostrou um cisto gigante localizado no baço. Exames complementares tiveram resultados normais. TC mostrou um cisto gigante, que projetava-se para o estômago. A paciente tolerou bem o procedimento, com pós-operatório normal. Ela teve alta hospitalar em 72 h após a operação. Conclusão: A diminuição de portais minimiza o trauma abdominal e tem as vantagens conhecidas de menor tempo de pós-operatório, maior controle da dor, e melhor efeito cosmético. A esplenectomia laparoscópica para cistos gigantes usando trocárteres reduzidos é segura, viável e menos invasiva.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To assess hematological and biochemical features of splenic effluent blood and their influence on the rise of hematological values after splenectomy. METHODS: we studied 20 patients undergoing surgical treatment for schistosomatic portal hypertension. We collected blood samples for CBC, coagulation, bilirubin and albumin in the splenic vein (perioperative) and peripheral blood (immediately pre and postoperative periods). RESULTS: the splenic blood showed higher values of red blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, platelet count, total leukocytes, neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils and basophils, as well as reduction of laboratory coagulation parameters in relation to peripheral blood collected preoperatively. In the postoperative peripheral blood there was an increase in the overall leukocytes and in their neutrophil component, and decreased levels of basophils, eosinophils and lymphocytes. The other postoperative variables of complete blood count and coagulation tests were not different compared with the splenic blood. The albumin values were lower postoperatively when compared to preoperative and splenic blood. There were higher values of direct bilirubin in the postoperative period when compared with the preoperative and splenic blood. Postoperative indirect bilirubin was lower compared to its value in the splenic blood. CONCLUSION: hematological and biochemical values of splenic effluent blood are higher than those found in peripheral blood in the presence of schistosomal splenomegaly. However, the splenic blood effluent is not sufficient to raise the blood levels found after splenectomy. .


OBJETIVO: verificar valores hematológicos e bioquímicos do sangue efluído do baço e avaliar a sua influência na elevação dos valores hematológicos após esplenectomia. MÉTODOS: foram estudados 20 pacientes submetidos ao tratamento cirúrgico para hipertensão porta esquistossomática. Foram coletadas amostras sanguíneas para hemograma, coagulograma, bilirrubinas e albumina na veia esplênica (peroperatório) e no sangue periférico (pré e pós-operatórios imediatos). RESULTADOS: o sangue esplênico apresentou valores maiores de: hemácias, hemoglobina, hematócrito, contagem de plaquetas, global de leucócitos, neutrófilos, linfócitos, monócitos, eosinófilos e basófilos, bem como redução dos parâmetros laboratoriais da coagulação em relação ao sangue periférico colhido no pré-operatório. No sangue periférico pós-operatório, houve aumento do global de leucócitos e de seu componente neutrofílico, além de redução dos valores de basófilos, eosinófilos e linfócitos. As demais variáveis do hemograma e do coagulograma pós-operatórios não foram diferentes na comparação com o sangue esplênico. Os valores da albumina foram menores no pós-operatório em relação ao pré-operatório e sangue esplênico. Houve valores maiores para a bilirrubina direta pós-operatória em relação à pré-operatória e à do sangue esplênico. A bilirrubina indireta pós-operatória foi menor em relação ao seu valor no sangue esplênico. . CONCLUSÃO: os valores hematológicos e bioquímicos do sangue efluído do baço são superiores aos encontrados no sangue periférico ...

ABSTRACT

RACIONAL: Na esquistossomose mansônica na forma hepatoesplênica ocorre fibrose hepática difusa que associada à congestão venosa do sistema porta resulta em hepatoesplenomegalia. Pode produzir hemorragia digestiva alta por rotura das varizes de esôfago e do estômago ou lesões pépticas da mucosa gastroduodenal. OBJETIVO: Estudar os efeitos da esplenectomia e ligadura da veia gástrica esquerda sobre a hemodinâmica portohepática. MÉTODO: Vinte e três portadores de esquistossomose mansônica na forma hepatoesplênica foram estudados prospectivamente, antes e cerca de duas semanas após a operação, através de estudos angiográficos dos diâmetros da artéria hepática comum e própria, artéria esplênica, artéria mesentérica superior, veia porta, veia mesentérica superior e veia gástrica esquerda. Foram aferidas as pressões da veia cava inferior, venosa central, da veia hepática livre, da veia hepática ocluída e sinusoidal. RESULTADOS: A ligadura da veia gástrica esquerda determinou acréscimo significante nas seguintes variáveis: diâmetros da artéria hepática comum e própria; diâmetro da veia mesentérica superior; o acréscimo não foi significante nas seguintes medidas: pressão venosa central e diâmetro da artéria mesentérica superior. Ela promoveu decréscimo não significante nas variáveis: pressão da veia cava inferior; pressão da veia hepática livre; pressão da veia hepática ocluída; pressão sinusoidal; diâmetro da veia porta. CONCLUSÃO: A ligadura da veia gástrica esquerda, na maioria dos casos, não determina alterações hemodinâmicas significantes do sistema porta capazes de quebrar o equilíbrio hemodinâmico funcional, que caracteriza a esquistossomose mansônica na forma hepatoesplênica.


BACKGROUND: In hepatosplenic schistosomiasis occurs diffuse hepatic fibrosis associated with venous congestion of the portal system resulting in hepatosplenomegaly. It can produce digestive hemorrhage caused by rupture of esophageal and stomach varices or peptic gastroduodenal mucosal lesions. AIM: To study the effects of splenectomy and ligature of the left gastric vein on portohepatic hemodynamics. METHOD: Twenty-three patients with hepatosplenic schistosomiasis mansoni were studied before and about two weeks after operation through angiographic diameter of the common and proper hepatic artery, splenic artery, superior mesenteric artery, portal vein, superior mesenteric vein and left gastric vein. The pressures of the inferior vena cava and central venous pressure, free hepatic vein, the hepatic sinusoidal and occluded vein were measured. RESULTS: The splenectomy and ligature of the left gastric vein determined low morbidity and null mortality. It determined significant addition to the following variables: diameters of the common and proper hepatic artery; diameter of the superior mesenteric vein. It determined non significant increase on the following measurements: right atrial pressure and diameter of the superior mesenteric artery. It determined non significant decrease to the following variables: inferior vena cava pressure; free hepatic vein pressure; occluded hepatic vein pressure; sinusoidal pressure, diameter of the portal vein. CONCLUSION: Splenectomy and ligature of the left gastric vein do not determine portal hemodynamic changes capable of breaking the functional hemodinamic balance that characterizes the hepatosplenic mansoni schistosomiasis.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: The diagnosis of adrenal incidentalomas is common in current clinical practice. Clinical case: We report a 69 years-old female patient with hypertension, who underwent an abdominal CAT Scan, finding a left adrenal mass of 8 cm diameter. Subsequent studies showed elevated urinary metanephrine levels. With the suspicion of a pheochromocytoma, a laparoscopic surgery was performed. The mass resulted to be an aberrant spleen.


Introducción: El diagnóstico de los así llamados "incidentalomas" suprarrenales, cada vez más frecuente en la práctica clínica, plantea un diagnóstico diferencial importante. Caso clínico: Se presenta el caso clínico de una paciente de 69 años, hipertensa, con el hallazgo de una masa suprarrenal izquierda aparentemente funcionante, operada por vía laparoscópica y que resultó ser un bazo aberrante. Se discute el diagnóstico diferencial entre masa suprarrenal y pseudo-tumores adrenales y la embriología y presentación clínica del bazo aberrante.

ABSTRACT

Contexto: Os cistos esplênicos não parasitários são eventos raros, muitas vezes assintomáticos e encontradosincidentalmente durante exames de imagem.Descrição do caso: Paciente do sexo feminino, 25 anos, parda, foi atendida pelo Grupo de Fígado e Hipertensão Portalda Faculdade de Ciências Médicas da Santa Casa de São Paulo, e o quadro clínico inicial corroborou com o achadoincidental do cisto. O diagnóstico foi confirmado pela ressonância nuclear magnética de abdome superior e pelo examehistopatológico de fragmento obtido no intraoperatório. O tratamento instituído foi o destelhamento do cisto por viavideolaparoscópica, com a colocação de epíplon no interior do leito cístico.Discussão: A paciente encaixa-se no clássico quadro de achado incidental em exames de imagem, sendo os primeirossintomas inespecíficos. Além disso, este caso se sobressai devido à sua raridade, tanto entre os vistos diariamenteno serviço como nos casos descritos na literatura. Foi optado pelo tratamento videolaparoscópico que apresentouexcelente resultado, com melhora dos sintomas, tempo cirúrgico curto e evitou a esplenectomia total.Conclusões: Os cistos esplênicos são achados incidentais dentro de um quadro clínico assintomático ou inespecífico.Apesar da raridade, devem estar sempre no acervo de conhecimento de todo médico para que a conduta seja adequadae os resultados satisfatórios.

ABSTRACT

RACIONAL: Expressivo contingente de pacientes esquistossomóticos com a forma hepatoesplênica e hipertensão portal apresentam hemorragia causada pela ruptura de varizes esofagogástricas, principal causa de alta morbidade e mortalidade da doença. OBJETIVO: Investigar os efeitos da esplenectomia e ligadura da veia gástrica esquerda sobre fatores de risco de sangramento por varizes esofagogástricas em portadores de esquistossomose mansônica, forma hepatoesplênica, com antecedente de hemorragia digestiva alta. MÉTODO: Estudaram-se, de forma prospectiva, 34 pacientes, com idade entre 1 e 74 anos (média 44,14), sendo 18 (53%) mulheres. Analisaram-se: 1) pressão das varizes do esôfago, aferida pela técnica endoscópica do balão pneumático; 2) tamanho, local, cor e sinais de cor vermelha nas varizes do esôfago; 3) varizes gástricas e gastropatia da hipertensão portal. Realizaram-se avaliações no pré-operatório, no pós-operatório imediato e no sexto mês após a ligadura da veia gástrica esquerda. RESULTADOS: A pressão das varizes do esôfago diminuiu de 22,3+/-2,6 mmHg, antes da operação, para 16,0+/-3,0 mmHg no pós-operatório imediato (p<0,001), caindo para 13,3+/-2,6 mmHg no pós-operatório do sexto mês (p<0,001). A proporção de varizes de grosso calibre, varizes no esôfago superior, varizes de cor azul, varizes com sinais de cor vermelha e de gastropatia da hipertensão portal decresceu de forma significante apenas no sexto mês de pós-operatório. CONCLUSÃO: A ligadura da veia gástrica esquerda, em esquistossomóticos hepatoesplênicos, com antecedente de hemorragia digestiva alta, revelou-se eficaz em diminuir alguns dos principais fatores de risco de hemorragia por varizes esofagogástricas, indicando boa perspectiva no controle definitivo do sangramento.


BACKGROUND: A significant number of patients with schistosomiasis develop the hepatosplenic form, with portal hypertension, in which bleeding caused by rupture of esophagogastric varices emerged as the leading cause of morbidity and mortality. AIM: To investigate the effects of splenectomy and ligature of the left gastric vein on risk factors for bleeding of esophagogastric varices in patients with schistosomiasis mansoni, hepatosplenic form, with a history of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. METHODS: The main risk factors of bleeding from esophagogastric varices were studied in 34 patients. The following parameters were investigated: 1) esophageal variceal pressure, measured by the endoscopic pneumatic balloon technique; 2) size, fundamental color, extension and red signs of esophageal varices, gastric varices and gastropathy of portal hypertension. The evaluations were performed in the preoperative period, immediate postoperative period (between the sixth and eighth postoperative days) and the sixth month of follow-up. RESULTS: The variceal pressure has fallen from 22.3+/-2.6 mmHg before surgery to 16.0+/-3.0 mmHg in the immediate postoperative period (p<0.001), reaching 13.3+/- 2.6 mmHg in the sixth month of follow-up. A significant reduction of the frequency of the parameters associated with a greater risk of hemorrhage was observed between the preoperative period and six-month follow-up, when the proportion of large esophageal varices (p<0.05), varices extending to the upper esophagus (p<0.05), bluish varices (p<0.01), varices with red signs (p<0.01) and gastropathy (p<0.05) decreased. CONCLUSION: In patients with hepatosplenic schistosomiasis with a previous history of variceal hemorrhage, splenectomy and gastric vein ligation was effective in reducing the main hemorrhagic risk factors until the sixth month of follow-up, indicating a good way to control the bleeding episodes.

ABSTRACT

La localización extraintestinal es una complicación temible de la amebiasis intestinal, con una elevada mortalidad, que oscila entre el 4 al 14 por ciento de los casos diagnosticados. La forma de presentación más común es el absceso hepático amebiano, y aunque se han reportado localizaciones pulmonares, peritoneales, y hasta cerebrales, la localización esplénica es extremadamente infrecuente. Se reporta un caso de amebiasis esplénica que evolucionó tórpidamente, a pesar del tratamiento específico con metronidazol desde su admisión al Departamento de Emergencia, y que fue intervenido quirúrgicamente al séptimo día, con evolución favorable después de la resección del bazo. Se realiza una revisión de la literatura actualizada sobre el tema(AU)


The extraintestinal location is a fearsome complication of the intestinal amebiasis, with a high mortality fluctuating between the 4 and the 14 percent of cases diagnosed. The commonest presentation way is the amebic hepatic abscess and although others have reported pulmonary, peritoneal and up to cerebral locations, the splenetic one is extremely infrequent. A case of splenetic amebiasis is reported which evolved in a torpid way despite the specific treatment with metronidazole from its admission to Emergence Department and that was operated on at seventh day with a favorable evolution after spleen resection. Authors made a review of the updated literature on this subject(AU)

ABSTRACT

Cysts of spleen are rare entities. Congenital splenic cysts are even more uncommon comprising of only 10% of benign non-parasitic cysts. We report a case of 22 years old female who presented with history of 2 years abdominal pain and gradual distension. Ultrasound and computed tomography [CT] both were suggestive of splenic cyst. Laboratory tests show thrombocytopenia with platelets count of 97000 per cubic millimeter and anemia with hemoglobin 8.7 gram per deciliter. Serological tests were negative for parasitic infection. Splenectomy was done and the weight of the spleen was found to be 1.5 kilogram. Histopathological findings were consistent with splenic epithelial cyst. The aetiology, diagnostic modalities and treatment options are discussed in the case report
