Gall bladder carcinoma with krukenburg tumour a case report

To determine the mechanism and pattern of animal related injuries in the troops deployed in field. A hospital based observational study. Main Dressing Station Kotli Azad Kashmir from Jan 2004 to Jan 2006 An observational hospital based study was carried out on all the patients who reported to the Main Dressing Station [MDS] between Jan 2004 to Jan 2006. The data was collected by using hospital information system. A performa was developed after review of literature which included necessary information related to patient's age, sex, type of injury and species of animal involved. The information collected was analyzed in detail. Laskin and Donhoue1 classification was used to classify wounds. A total of 48 patients were reviewed. These were all males and the mean age was 25 years. Thirty three [69%] patients had soft tissue injuries, 7 [15%] had fractures, 5 [10%] had head injury and 3 [6%] had abdominal injury. Mule kick injuries occurred in 37[77%] patients, dog bite in 7[15%] cases and donkey bite in 4[8%] cases. Troops deployed in the field are exposed to the hazard of animal related injuries which can be fatal at times. The complex nature of these injuries entails early and appropriate management in order to achieve satisfactory outcome and prevent complications. Prevention strategies include proper animal handling techniques based upon animal behavior and the appropriate use of well designed confinement facilities

Adenocarcinoma gástrico con metástasis ováricas (tumor de Krukenberg) en paciente de 14 años / Gastric carcinoma with ovarian metastases (Krukenberg tumour) in patient of 14 years-old

El adenocarcinoma gástrico es una neoplasia poco frecuente en pacientes menores de 15 años. Se denomina tumor de Krukenberg a la metástasis ovárica secundaria a esta neoplasia, o a otras neoplasias, que histológicamente presenten células en anillo de sello y reacción sarcomatoide del estroma. Generalmente se presenta en mujeres cuya edad promedio es de 40 años sexualmente activas; su sintomatología puede derivar de la neoplasia primaria o de la metástasis ovárica. El presente artículo expone el caso de una adolescente de 14 años, que accidentalmente autopesquisa una masa pélvica bilateral. Tras estudio imagenológico se determinó su origen anexial, se realizó una laparotomía exploradora que incluyó ooferectomía bilateral, apendicectomía y linfadenectomía. La biopsia rápida informó la presencia de células en anillo de sello en dichos tejidos. En busca de la neoplasia primaria, se realizó una endoscopia digestiva alta que evidenció un adenocarcinoma gástrico con iguales características histológicas. La biopsia definitiva confirmó el diagnóstico de tumor de Krukenberg. Se describe lo que parece el caso más precoz con primario conocido reportado y se revisa la literatura.

Tumor de Krukenberg / Krukenberg's tumor

Os prontuários e laudos anatomopatológicos de 44 pacientes portadoras de metastáses em ovários foram revisados. Destas, 10 eram portadoras de tumor de Krukenberg.
