ABSTRACT

Angiomyolipomas (AML) are mesenchymal tumors belonging to the group of perivascular epithelioid cell tumors, which, rarely, can display a malignant behavior. They are composed of adipose tissue, vessels, and muscle tissue in different proportions, and constitute a differential diagnosis for other focal liver lesions. We report a 34-year-old woman in whom a focal hepatic lesion was discovered incidentally. The pathology report of an ultrasound guided biopsy informed an epithelioid angiomyolipoma, a rare variant of these lesions. During ten years of imaging follow, the size and features of the lesion has not changed. The patient rejected a surgical excision.

ABSTRACT

En este trabajo evaluaremos si existe regresión de los cambios degenerativos del cuádriceps tras la reparación diferida de una lesión del aparato extensor. La hipótesis es que esta reparación diferida favorece la regresión de cambios degenerativos del cuádriceps, relacionado con la precocidad de la reparación.Estudio experimental en quince ratones BKS machos: se seccionaron completamente ambos tendones patelares. Se definieron tres grupos de cinco animales cada uno, randomizados, según el momento en que se reparó el tendón derecho: Grupo 1: una semana postsección; Grupo 2: dos semanas; y Grupo 3: cuatro semanas postsección. El cuádriceps izquierdo, no reparado, se utilizó como control respectivo para cada grupo. Los animales fueron sacrificados a las cuatro semanas post-reparación. Un patólogo, ciego al estudio, analizó las características macroscópicas e histológicas. El análisis estadístico incluyó test para muestras pareadas e independientes (p<0.05).Macroscopia: hubo tres reparaciones fallidas, dos en el grupo 2 y una en el grupo 3. Solo se observaron diferencias significativas en la longitud cuadricipital del grupo 1 versus su control (p= 0.0422). No hubo diferencias estadísticas entre los grupos de intervención, ni contra los controles respectivos en los otros parámetros evaluados.Histología: no se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre los grupos de intervención, ni contra sus controles respectivos.En este modelo experimental, la reparación diferida de una lesión completa del aparato extensor de la rodilla no demostró una reversibilidad de los cambios degenerativos musculares. La precocidad de la reparación se relacionó con menor número de fallas y mayor longitud cuadricipital. Se refuerza la importancia de priorizar la reparación temprana de lesiones completas del aparato extensor de la rodilla


Evaluate the regression of degenerative changes in the quadricipital muscle after a delayed extensor mechanism repair. The hypothesis is that a delayed repair favors the regression of degenerative changes related to the precocity of the repair. Experimental study in fifteen BKS male mice: a complete section of both patellar tendons was made. Animals were randomly divided into three study groups (five mice per group), according to the week after the lesions at which the right quadriceps were repaired: Group 1: one week; Group 2: two weeks, and Group 3: four weeks. Left quadriceps remained unrepaired and was used as the corresponding control for each group. All animals were sacrificed four weeks after the repair. A blind pathologist analyzed macroscopic and histologic evaluations. Statistical analysis included tests for paired and independent samples (p=0.05).Macroscopy: there were three repair failures, two in group 2 and one in group 3. Quadricipital length in group 1 was the only significant difference (p=0.04222) observed between the intervened muscles and their corresponding control. No statistical differences were present between the intervention groups, neither when compared to their corresponding controls for the other macroscopic parameters. Histology: No statistical differences were present between the intervention groups, neither when compared to their corresponding controls for the other macroscopic parameters.A delayed repair of a complete knee extensor mechanism injury in this experimental model did not demonstrate the regression of the degenerative muscle changes. The precocity of the repaired correlated with fewer repair failures and a greater quadricipital length. The present experimental study enhances the importance of an early repair for complete knee extensor mechanism injury

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVOS: Evaluar macroscópica e histológicamente la cicatrización muscular utilizando Dexametasona (DEX) o Traumeel (TRM), en un modelo experimental animal. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Estudio experimental en 45 ratones BKS. Se seccionó transversal y completamente el cuádriceps derecho en todos los animales. Se definieron 3 grupos de estudio de 15 ratones cada uno, un grupo control, un grupo tratado con Dexametasona y uno con Traumeel. Los animales fueron sacrificados a las 1,2 y 4 semanas después del procedimiento y se les extrajo ambos cuádriceps (derecho como intervención e izquierdo como control) y luego fueron analizados macroscópica e histológicamente por un patólogo calificado, de manera ciega. Los datos se analizaron estadísticamente con el test de Kruskal - Wallis (p < 0,05), utilizando el programa Stata V12.1. RESULTADOS: Macroscopía: A la semana, en todos los grupos se evidenció ausencia de cicatrización con gap persistente. A la segunda semana, se evidencia cicatrización inicial sin gap en todos los grupos. A las 4 semanas todas las muestras estaban cicatrizadas. HISTOLOGÍA: La administración de Dexametasona disminuye el infiltrado inflamatorio y aumenta las fibras regenerativas, pero induce mayor fibrosis y pérdida de masa muscular. La adición de Traumeel aumenta la cantidad de fibras regenerativas, pero incrementa el infiltrado inflamatorio. CONCLUSIONES: A las 4 semanas ninguno de los grupos de estudio presentó regeneración muscular completa, con resultados macroscópicos e histológicos variables.


OBJETIVES: To macroscopically and histologically evaluate a muscle strain healing model, using Dexamethasone and Traumeel. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Experimental study in 45 BKS mice. 3 groups of 15 mice were defined: control group, Dexamethasone treated group and Traumeel treated group. The animals were sacrificed at the 1st, 2nd and 4th week, both quadriceps were resected (right as intervention and left as control) and then analyzed macroscopically and histologically by a qualified and blinded pathologist. Results were analyzed statistically using Kruskal - Wallis test (p<0.05). RESULTS: Macroscopy: the first week, all groups showed absence of healing with persistent gap. At the 2nd week, evidence of initial healing without gap in all groups. By week 4, all samples were healed. HISTOLOGY: Dexamethasone decreased the inflammatory infiltration and increased the regenerative fibers, but induced a higher fibrosis and loss of muscle mass. Traumeel increased the amount of regenerative fibers and the inflammatory infiltration. DISCUSSION: The results of our study fail to define a definitive posture. We observed that Traumeel actually increases the amount of regenerative fibers and contrary to the literature, it increases the inflammatory infiltrate. On the other hand, Dexamethasone showed similar results in both regenerative fibers, fatty infiltration and muscle mass, but with increased necrosis. CONCLUSIONS By the 4th week none of the groups showed complete muscle regeneration with macroscopic and histological variable results.

ABSTRACT

Abstract: Myoid hamartoma is a rare entity, and was first described by Davies and Riddell in 1973. It is pathologically defined as the mixture of fatty glandular tissue and fibrous connective tissue, associated with a widespread focus of fusiform muscle cells. Six cases of HM diagnosed in seven patients are presented, with emphasis on imaging findings and characteristics of their respective core biopsies. The importance of biopsy in these lesions is required to differentiate malignant diseases. There is no need for excisional biopsy, because this is not associated with high-risk lesions or carcinomas.


Resumen: El hamartoma mioide es una lesión infrecuente; fue descrita por primera vez por Davies y Riddell en el año 1973; se define histológicamente como la mezcla de tejido glandular adiposo y conjuntivo fibroso, asociado a extensos focos de células musculares fusiformes. Se presentan 7 casos de HM diagnosticados en 7 pacientes, haciendo énfasis en las características imagenológicas y los hallazgos de las respectivas biopsias core. La importancia de realizar biopsia en estas lesiones radica en la necesidad de diferenciarla de patologías malignas; así mismo no existe necesidad de biopsia excisional, ya que se trata de una entidad que no se asocia a lesiones de alto riesgo o con cáncer.

ABSTRACT

No existen modelos que evalúen los cambios morfológicos musculares en roturas crónicas del aparato extensor de la rodilla. Objetivos: 1) Describir un nuevo modelo experimental de lesión crónica de tendón patelar; y 2) evaluar macroscópica e histológicamente la evolución, a través del tiempo, de la degeneración del cuádriceps con este modelo. Hipótesis: Existe fibrosis e infiltración grasa progresiva del cuádriceps a través del tiempo. Materiales y método: Se realiza transección del tendón patelar en 20 ratones BKS, machos, adultos, divididos en 4 grupos de 5 animales cada uno, siendo sacrificados a la 1era, 2da, 4ta y 12va semanas. A todos los ratones sacrificados se les extrajo el cuádriceps derecho (intervención) e izquierdo (control). Se realizó evaluación macroscópica, análisis morfométrico e histológico por 2 patólogos independientes y ciegos. Los resultados se analizaron estadísticamente con Test T de Student y Test de Wilcoxon (p<0,05). Resultados: Macroscopia: tejido amarillento en grupo intervenido con variables morfométricas alteradas progresivamente de manera significativa desde la 2da semana. Histología: infiltración grasa con atrofia numérica de fibras musculares, progresiva en el tiempo, significativa desde la 4ta semana, llegando a infiltración grasa severa a las 12 semanas con porcentaje de fibrosis menor al 6 por ciento en todos los casos.Conclusiones: Este nuevo modelo de lesión de tendón patelar se asocia a pérdida de continuidad persistente del aparato extensor con cambios estructurales del cuádriceps. Estos cambios incluyen atrofia muscular macroscópica e infiltración grasa con atrofia numérica de fibras musculares progresiva, significativa a partir de la 2da semana...


There are no models that evaluate the morphological changes of the muscles in chronic ruptures of the extensor apparatus of the knee. Objectives: 1) To describe a new model of chronic rupture of the patellar tendon; and 2) To macroscopically and histologically evaluate progressive quadriceps muscle degeneration. Hypothesis: There is progressive fibrosis and fatty infiltration of the quadriceps muscle. Materials and method: A complete transection was performed on the right patellar tendon of 20 male, adult, BKS mice, divided into 4 groups of 5 animals. The animals were sacrificed at the 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 12th week after the indicated procedure. After sacrificing the animals, both quadriceps muscles were resected and evaluated macroscopically, morphometrically, and histologically by 2 independent, blinded pathologists. Statistical analysis was performed using Student t test, and Wilcoxon's test (P<.05). Results:Macroscopy yellowish muscle tissue with significant progressive morphological changes beginning at week 2. Histology: progressive fatty infiltration with numerous atrophies of the muscle fibres, becoming significant after the 4th week, reaching severe fatty infiltration at week 12, with little fibrous tissue in less than 6 percent of the muscle. Conclusions: This new model of patellar tendon chronic rupture is associated with persistent discontinuity of the knee extensor mechanism and structural changes of the quadriceps muscle. These changes include muscle atrophy and progressive fatty infiltration beginning at the 2nd week after the injury...
