RESUMEN
Resumen La leucemia linfocítica aguda es la enfermedad oncológica con mayor incidencia en la población pediátrica, tanto a nivel mundial como en Costa Rica. Para su tratamiento requiere protocolos de quimioterapia complejos, lo que representa un reto constante para los médicos, ya que deben equilibrar los riesgos y beneficios del manejo. Es necesario tomar en cuenta los factores de riesgo de cada paciente, el grado de severidad de la enfermedad y los potenciales efectos adversos del tratamiento. A continuación, se reporta un caso de pancreatitis aguda edematosa no biliar, secundaria al uso de L-asparginasa, en un paciente con diagnóstico de leucemia linfocítica aguda, atendido en el Hospital Nacional de Niños "Dr. Carlos Sáenz Herrera". El paciente, quien se encontraba cumpliendo el régimen poliquimioterapeútico AHOPCA 2008, presentó clínica sugestiva de pancreatitis aguda en el día 50 de este, por lo que se decidió no colocar la quimioterapia indicada e inmediatamente se trasladó al Servicio de Emergencias. El cuadro clínico estaba asociado a laboratorios y ultrasonido anormales, por lo que fue tratado interdisciplinariamente y su pronóstico fue favorable; actualmente continúa con tratamiendo quimioterapeútico, como fue indicado.
ABSTRACT
Abstract The acute lymphocytic leukemia is the oncological disease with the highest incidence in the pediatric population both worldwide and in Costa Rica. It requires complex chemotherapy protocols, which confers a constant challenge on physicians to balance the risks and benefits of management. Therefore, it is necessary to take into account the risk factors of each patient, the degree of severity of the disease and the potential adverse effects of the treatment. A case report is presented with an acute non-biliary edematous pancreatitis, secondary to the use of L-asparaginase in a patient diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia, seen at the National Children's Hospital "Dr. Carlos Sáenz Herrera". The patient who was started on the AHOPCA 2008 polychemotherapy regimen presented symptoms suggestive of acute pancreatitis on the day 50 of the same, so it was decided not to apply the indicated chemotherapy and transfer the patient to the Emergency Room. The clinical picture was associated with abnormal laboratories and ultrasound, so it was immediately treated interdisciplinarily, which is why its prognosis was favorable and currently he continues with chemotherapy treatment as indicated.
