RESUMO

The diagnosis of neuroendocrine tumors of the small intestine is usually challenging. They are infrequent, and the clinical course is insidious with nonspecific manifestations. Routine endoscopic and abdominal imaging studies are more often unremarkable. Therefore, distant metastases are frequently detected at the time of diagnosis. The tumor markers chromogranin A, synaptophysin, and neuron-specific enolase, and capsule endoscopy, and device-assisted enteroscopy are useful resources to establish a diagnosis. The aim was to present a case of neuroendocrine tumor of small intestine diagnosed with base in findings of the capsule endoscopy and further open surgery.


El diagnóstico de tumores neuroendocrinos del intestino delgado suele ser un desafío. Son infrecuentes y el curso clínico es insidioso con manifestaciones inespecíficas. Los estudios de imágenes endoscópicos y abdominales de rutina suelen ser anodinos. Por tanto, las metástasis a distancia se detectancon frecuencia en el momento del diagnóstico. Los marcadores tumorales cromogranina A, sinaptofi-sina y enolasa neuronal específica, y la cápsula endoscópica y la enteroscopía asistida por dispositivo son recursos útiles para establecer un diagnóstico. El objetivo de este trabajo fue presentar un caso de tumor neuroendocrino de intestino delgado diagnosticado con base en hallazgos de la cápsula endoscópica y de una nueva cirugía abierta.

RESUMO

A 65-year-old male with medical history of hyperlipidemia, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and arterial hypertension well controlled by glibenclamide, and amlodipine plus enalapril for about a decade was referred to our service because of the recent fndings in aortography (Figure 1: A, B, and C). He was not a smoker, neither a heavy alcohol drinker, and had chronic lumbar pain related to degenerative spondyloarthropathy. Previous imaging studies had showed narrowing of the disc space and reduction of the diameter of spinal canal on L4 and L5. During evaluation of control, an incidental image was observed in the right side of his pelvis, and the aortography was done. On presentation, BMI was 33 kg/m2, temperature was 36°C, blood pressure was 120x80 mmHg, with 80 bpm and 14 irpm, and there were no signifcant physical fndings on abdominal region. Laboratory fndings (normal ranges) revealed unremarkable blood counts and thyroid function; total cholesterol 289 (<200 mg/dL), HDL 54 (30-60 mg/ dL), LDL 206 (100-190 mg/dL), and tryglicerides 147 (<180 mg/dL); glucose 70 (70-99 mg/dL), uric acid 8.7 (2.5-7.0 mg/dL), urea 57 (14-50 mg/dL) with creatinine clearance 129.6 (≥129 ml/min); and PSA 0.5 (<4.0 ng/mL). After a successful open invasive procedure, he was discharged to outpatient.

No era un fumador, ni un gran bebedor de alcohol, y tenía Dolor lumbar relacionado con espondiloartropatía degenerativa. Anterior Los estudios de imagen han mostrado estrechamiento del espacio discal y reducción. del diámetro del canal espinal en L4 y L5. Durante la evaluación del control, se observó una imagen incidental en el lado derecho de su pelvis, y la Se realizó una aortografía. En la presentación, el IMC fue de 33 kg / m2, temperatura. fue de 36 ° C, la presión arterial fue de 120x80 mmHg, con 80 bpm y 14 irpm, y no hubo hallazgos físicos significativos en la región abdominal. Los hallazgos de laboratorio (rangos normales) revelaron recuentos sanguíneos sin complicaciones y la función tiroidea; colesterol total 289 (<200 mg / dL), HDL 54 (30-60 mg / dL), LDL 206 (100-190 mg / dL) y tryglicerides 147 (<180 mg / dL); glucosa 70 (70-99 mg / dL), ácido úrico 8.7 (2.5-7.0 mg / dL), urea 57 (14-50 mg / dL) con aclaramiento de creatinina 129.6 (≥129 ml / min); y PSA 0.5 (<4.0 ng / mL).

RESUMO

Marfan syndrome (MFS) is an autosomal dominant disorder, due to mutations on the gene that encodes fbrillin-1 (FBN1), which is a major component of extracellular microfbrils of the connective tissue [1, 2]. The incidence of MFS is about 2 to 3 per 10,000 individuals, with no difference in gender prevalence and, in approximately 75% of cases, the mutation is inherited from an affected parent, and the other cases can be due to de novo mutations [1]. The syndrome usually affects the skeletal, cardiovascular and optical systems, among others, and the accurate diagnosis is based on family history, clinical signs, and Ghent criteria [1­6]. Cardiovascular manifestations of MFS, in special aorta ecstasy and/or dissection, are related to poor outcomes, involving the most severe complications and the majority of deaths in this population. Therefore, additional care is recommended for patients intending to get pregnant

RESUMO

Dengue is an arthropod-borne disease caused by viruses of Flaviviridae family. It poses a major public health burden in tropical and sub-tropical regions. Clinical features of dengue vary from a mild flu-like disease and rash, to a potentially lethal haemorrhagic fever or shock syndrome. Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome is a rodent-born disease emerging in the American continent and is caused by viruses of the Bunyaviridae family. Potential reservoirs of these agents were described in Brazilian Central Plateau. Dengue infection is transmitted by mosquitoes, while hantaviruses are acquired by contact or inhalation of aerosolised excreta of infected rodents. Dengue and hantavirus infections have also been considered as emerging public health problems in some Indian areas; moreover, other infections mixed with dengue have been documented. The case of a Brazilian patient with hantavirus pulmonary syndrome and serologic evidence of dengue infection is described.

RESUMO

The male breast cancer accounts for nearly 1% of all breast cancer cases and bilateral involvement occurs in less than 2% of the cases. Estrogen treatment for prostate cancer is a risk factor for primary breast cancer. Bilateral breast carcinomas were found in a 79-year-old Brazilian black man, following prostate cancer treatment with estrogen. Prostate cancer metastases could be found in breast tissue, and might be indistinguishable from primary breast tumours on histological evaluation without immunohistochemistry. Coexistence of prostate cancer with breast cancer increases future-longevity concerns.

RESUMO

A case of endemic goitre associated with thyroid cancer and huge enlargement of the scalp is reported in a Brazilian mulatto from an iodine deficient Central west region of the country. On admission, osteolytic metastases of follicular thyroid carcinoma were found scattered in the parietal bones. Impressive images from old files could illustrate and emphasize the hurdle-like role of poverty and inadequate social and cultural attitudes before the fight against cancer in regions with limited resources. Even in developed countries, goitres still occur in areas with iodine prophylaxis. Another concern is insufficiency of reliable data on the incidence and pattern of head and neck tumours in developing countries.

RESUMO

Se relata un caso de urticaria crónica y mielitis transversal aguda en asociación con lupus eritematoso sistémico en una mujer de 40 años. La urticaria se inició en su adolescencia y, después de 26 años, presentó fotosensibilidad, poliartritis, meningitis aséptica y mielitis transversal aguda, con anticuerpos antifosfolípidos y antinucleares positivos. Se ha descrito urticaria crónica y mielitis transversal en asociación, o como la primera manifestación del lupus eritematoso sistémico. La mielitis transversal es una condición rara y poco comprendida, diagnosticada en cerca de 2 por ciento de los pacientes con lupus eritematoso sistémico y, muy frecuentemente asociada con anticuerpos antifosfolípidos. Los autores describen un caso de esta rara asociación y resaltan la necesidad de evaluaciones sistemáticas del diagnóstico en pacientes con urticaria crónica, porque esta condición suele ser una manifestación cutánea de enfermedades sistémicas, la puede anteceder por mucho tiempo y dificultar la correcta caracterización del lupus eritematoso sistémico, correlacionado a la usual corticoterapia prolongada.
