ABSTRACT
La drepanocitosis es una enfermedad caracterizada por la presencia de una hemoglobina anómala. Afecta principalmente a la raza negra. Su diagnóstico y su tratamiento en la gestante son de vital importancia, ya que puede tener repercusiones fatales tanto para la madre como para el feto. Presentamos el caso de una gestante de raza negra con drepanocitosis, el manejo de la patología y desenlace del mismo (AU)

El carcinoma epidermoide de mama es un tumor maligno de la mama con un comportamiento muy agresivo debido a su rápida diseminación sistémica y local. Posee rasgos ecográficos y mamográficos bastante específicos, presentándose en la mayoría de los casos como un quiste complicado. Se trata de un tumor con escasa respuesta a los tratamientos convencionales, por lo que presenta un pronóstico poco favorable. Nosotros presentamos 3 casos de pacientes diagnosticadas y tratadas en nuestro centro con unos resultados similares al del resto de series (AU)
Squamous cell carcinoma of the breast is a highly aggressive malignant tumor with rapid local and systemic spread. In most patients, the ultrasonographic and mammographic features are fairly specific, and the disease usually manifests as a complicated cyst. This tumor shows poor response to conventional treatment and prognosis is unfavorable. We present three cases of squamous cell carcinoma in patients diagnosed and treated in our center. Outcomes were similar to those in other series (AU)

Presentamos un caso de gestación ectópica cervical con tratamiento conservador satisfactorio. Se trató mediante inyecciones sistémicas de metotrexato, que resultaron inicialmente efectivas, aunque posteriormente apareció cuadro hemorrágico genital severo que precisó dilatación y legrado cervical para su resolución, no siendo necesario ningún tipo de actitud terapéutica radical (AU)
We report a case of cervical ectopic pregnancy with successful conservative treatment. The patient was treated with systemic methotrexate injections, which initially proved effective. However, severe genital bleeding subsequently developed, requiring cervical dilation and curettage for resolution. A radical change in the therapeutic approach was not required (AU)
