Linfoma de Hodgkin anal primario y tumor neuroendocrino intestinal sincrónicos: a propósito de un caso y revisión de la literatura / Primary rectal Hodgkin's lymphoma and synchronous small bowel neuroendocrine tumor: Case report and literature review

Resumen La localización extranodal gastrointestinal del linfoma de Hodgkin comprende el 5% de todos los linfomas. Dentro de este grupo, el linfoma anal primario representa menos del 0,05%, siendo por tanto una entidad extremadamente rara. Por otro lado, los tumores neuroendocrinos son un grupo heterogéneo de neoplasias relativamente poco frecuentes, pero de localización fundamentalmente digestiva. La asociación entre un linfoma de Hodgkin de localización anal y un tumor neuroendocrino intestinal no ha sido descrita previamente en la literatura, pero no es en absoluto raro que los tumores neuroendocrinos puedan coexistir con otro tipo de neoplasias. Los autores presentan el caso infrecuente de presentación de linfoma Hodgkin de localización anal asociado a un tumor neuroendocrino intestinal en una paciente mujer de 74 años, describiéndose la clínica, resultados de pruebas complementarias y tratamiento recibido.

Abstract Extranodal gastrointestinal Hodgkin's lymphoma comprises 5% of all lymphomas. In this group, primary rectal lymphoma represents less than 0.05%; thus, it is an extremely rare entity. On the other hand, neuroendocrine tumors are a heterogeneous group of infrequent neoplasms, mainly of digestive location. The association between a rectal Hodgkin's lymphoma and an intestinal neuroendocrine tumor has not been previously described in the literature, but it is not at all uncommon for neuroendocrine tumors to coexist with other types of neoplasms. The authors present a rare case of rectal Hodgkin's lymphoma associated with an intestinal neuroendocrine tumor in a 74-year-old female patient, describing the symptoms, complementary test results, and treatment.

Intussusception secondary to inflammatory myofibroblasts tumor of the small intestine. case report

ABSTRACT Introduction: Intussusception occurs when part of the intestine slides into an adjacent intestinal segment. Inflammatory myofibroblast tumor is a rare cause of this condition, and is observed in 5% -16% cases in adults. Case presentation: A 41-year-old woman presented with abdominal pain and distension. A exploratory laparoscopy was performed, finding ileocolic intussusception into the transverse colon. Due to uncontrollable bleeding, the procedure was converted to laparotomy; resection and latero-lateral ileocolic anastomosis were performed. Histopathology reported inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor, with a favorable postoperative evolution. The patient was discharged on the sixth postoperative day. Discussion: When located in the small intestine, 57% of the tumors that cause intussusception are benign, including the myofibroblastic tumor in this patient. The symptoms and signs associated with this neoplasm are cramp-like abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. Although imaging studies may lead to suspect this diagnosis, in most cases it is made intraoperatively. Surgical resection of the affected intestinal segment is curative, with favorable prognosis. Conclusions: This case is considered as a rare cause of intussusception. It had a benign course and is still under study since its patho-physiology has not been fully understood.

RESUMEN Introducción. Se denomina intususcepción a la introducción de un segmento intestinal a otro distal, siendo esta la causa posterior del tumor miofibroblástico inflamatorio en el 5-16% de los adultos. Presentación del caso. Paciente femenino de 41 años con presencia de dolor y distensión abdominal. Se practica exploración quirúrgica laparoscópica, observando intususcepción ileocólica hasta colon transverso. Por sangrado no controlable se realiza conversión a laparotomía, se reseca y se realiza anastomosis ileocólica latero-lateral. La histopatología reporta tumor miofibroblástico inflamatorio, con evolución postquirúrgica favorable. Se da de alta al sexto día postquirúrgico. Discusión. En el intestino delgado, 57% de los tumores que originan intususcepción son benignos, como el tumor miofibroblástico que presentó la paciente reportada. Los síntomas y signos de esta neoplasia son dolor abdominal tipo cólico, náusea y vómito. Aunque los estudios de imágenes pueden dar una sospecha del diagnóstico, en la mayoría de los casos se hace intraoperatorio. La resección quirúrgica del segmento intestinal afectado es curativa, con pronóstico favorable. Conclusiones. El presente caso representa una causa poco frecuente de intususcepción intestinal, de curso benigno, la cual continúa en estudio ya que no se ha logrado entender por completo su fisiopatología.

Tubulopapillary rectal adenocarcinoma in dog: clinical, surgical, pathological and immunophenotypical aspects: case report / Adenocarcinoma retal tubulopapilar em cão: descrição clínica, cirúrgica, anátomo-patológica e imunofenotípica: relato de caso

Intestinal carcinomas are rare in dogs. The prognosis and survival time are dependent of the histological type, the invasion of the intestinal wall by the malignant cells and the ability of primary neoplasm to produce metastasis. This study reports a case of a Yorkshire dog that developed a rectal tubulopapillary adenocarcinoma progressing to a peritoneal carcinomatosis and multiple metastasis in large intestines, bladder, kidney, iliac lymph node, liver and lungs, six months after transanal surgical resection of the primary rectal neoplasm. Clinical, surgical, pathological and immunophenotypic findings are described. COX-2 imunohistochemical score was higher in hepatic metastasis (score 9) than in the primary tumour (score 6), and the growth fraction (Ki-67) observed was of 49.2% in the rectal neoplasm.(AU)

Carcinomas intestinais são raros em cães. O prognóstico e a sobrevida são dependentes do tipo histológico, do grau de invasão nas camadas intestinais e da capacidade da neoformação primária em desenvolver metástases. Relata-se um caso de um cão, da raça Yorkshire, que desenvolveu adenocarcinoma tubulopapilar retal com evolução para carcinomatose peritoneal e múltiplos focos metastáticos no intestino grosso, na bexiga, no rim linfonodo ilíaco, no fígado e nos pulmões seis meses após ressecção cirúrgica da neoplasia primária. Aspectos clínicos, cirúrgicos, anatomopatológicos e imunofenotípicos são descritos. O escore de COX-2 na imuno-histoquímica foi maior na metástase hepática (escore 9) do que na massa primária (escore 6), e a fração de crescimento (Ki-67) na neoplasia retal foi de 49,2%.(AU)

Papillary Adenocarcinoma of the descending colon in a dog: case report / Adenocarcinoma papilífero em cólon descendente de cão: relato de caso

The aim of this report was to describe the clinical findings and therapeutic management of a case of papillary adenocarcinoma of the descending colon in a Beagle. The patient presented soft stools, haematochezia, tenesmus, and dyschezia. Clinical examination revealed alterations on the ultrasonographic features of the descending colon suggestive of colitis and neoplasia. Following local mass resection, histopathology analysis revealed mild lymphoplasmocytic enteritis and papillary adenocarcinoma of the colon. Enterectomy for tumoral resection and biopsy of locoregional lymph nodes were carried out. Subsequent to the surgical procedure, it was possible to confirm the previous diagnosis and the tumor was classified as intestinal intraluminal papillary adenocarcinoma, with incomplete surgical margins. Adjuvant chemotherapy was performed using carboplatin, cyclophosphamide, and piroxicam, leading to remission of clinical signs and absence of any clinical or imaging alterations compatible with the patient's previous clinical condition.(AU)

O objetivo desse relato de caso foi descrever os achados clínicos e manejo terapêutico de um caso de adenocarcinoma papilífero do cólon descendente em um Beagle. O paciente apresentou fezes amolecidas, hematoquesia, tenesmo e disquesia. Exame clínico revelou alteração de achados ultrassonográficos do cólon descendente sugerindo colite e neoplasia. Após ressecção de massa local, análise histopatológica revelou enterite linfmoplasmocito leve e adenocarcinoma papilar do cólon. Enterectomia para ressecção tumoral e biopsia das lesões locais e tumores linfonodais foram realizadas. Após procedimento cirúrgico foi possível confirmar o diagnóstico prévio e o tumor foi classificado como adenocarcinoma papilar intraluminal intestinal, com margens cirúrgicas incompletas. Quimioterapia adjuvante foi realizada utilizando carboplatina, ciclofosfamida e piroxano, levando a remissão de sinais clínicos e ausência de alterações de imagem compatíveis com situação clínica prévia do paciente.(AU)
