RESUMEN
Resumen Se presenta el caso de una paciente de 57 años de edad, natural del distrito de San Martín de Porres en Lima, quien acude a emergencias en el Hospital II Lima Norte-Callao Luis Negreiros Vega de EsSalud por presentar una tumoración en el muslo derecho. La paciente refiere dolor al palpar el muslo y al ponerse en marcha, por lo que se realizan estudios y se procede a la exéresis quirúrgica de dicha tumoración. El análisis macroscópico indicó fragmento de tejido de 5x4x11cm con losange de piel de 4x1.5cm y superficie irregular compuesta de tejido adiposo; al corte a 0.8cm de la piel presenta formación nodular de color pardo amarillento de 1.5x1.8cm con formación quística de 0.6cm, bien delimitada por el tejido fibroso. Además, presenta otras tres formaciones quísticas de 0.3 a 0.8cm de diámetro. De igual forma, el diagnóstico histológico señaló formaciones quísticas en tejido celular subcutáneo de paredes fibrosas recubiertas en su parte interna por macrófagos y células epitelioides a cuerpo extraño, compatible con cisticercosis subcutánea.
ABSTRACT
Abstract This paper reports the case of a 57-year-old female patient from the San Martín de Porres district in Lima, who attended the emergency room at Hospital II Lima Norte-Callao Luis Negreiros Vega of EsSalud due to a tumor in her right thigh. The patient complained of thigh pain on palpation and when she started walking. Studies were carried out and the tumor was surgically removed. The macroscopic analysis found a piece of tissue of 5x4x11cm, lozenge of the skin of 4x1.5cm, and an irregular surface composed of adipose tissue. Upon sectioning, 0.8cm of the skin showed a yellowish brown nodular formation of 1.5x1.8cm, with a cystic formation of 0.6cm, well delimited by fibrous tissue. In addition, three other cystic formations were found, with 0.3 to 0.8cm of diameter. The histological diagnosis found cystic formations in the subcutaneous cellular tissue of fibrous walls, covered by macrophages in the inner part and foreign body epithelioid cells, which is compatible with subcutaneous cysticercosis.
