ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether prophylactic chemotherapy (P-chem) with one bolus dose of actinomycin D (Act-D) during the uterine evacuation of patients with high-risk hydatidiform mole (Hr-HM) affects reproductive outcomes in subsequent pregnancies. METHODS: From 1987 to 2006, 1090 patients with gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) were evaluated at a Trophoblastic Disease Center in southern Brazil; 265 with Hr-HM were selected and retrospectively analyzed. From 1996 to 2006, 163 received one bolus dose of Act-D at the time of uterine evacuation (Hr-HM-chem group); 102 with the same risk factors did not get P-chem (Hr-HM-control group). In March 2009, the number of pregnancies, progression of first pregnancy, and association of low age and low parity with subsequent pregnancy were evaluated. RESULTS: The percentage of patients that became pregnant was similar in both groups (Hr-HM-control: 59.5%; Hr-HM-chem group: 45.7%; p=0.069) and independent of HM progression. Percentages of no pregnancies because of age (> or =40 years) or hysterectomy were also similar. Type of subsequent pregnancy was not statistically different between groups, and the rate of live births associated with pregnancies for which US showed a live fetus was high. Frequency of repeat GTD was unexpectedly high in both groups (4.2% and 6.3%; p=1.00). CONCLUSIONS: P-chem did not affect reproductive outcomes for patients with Hr-HM. Patients allowed to become pregnant again in both groups had high rates of live births associated with normal pregnancies. Chances of a subsequent pregnancy were higher in the low age and low parity subgroups.

ABSTRACT

Glioblastomas are the most common type of brain tumors; astrocytic in their origin, they are anaplastic tumors, and are located mainly in the cerebral hemispheres. Primary growth in the conus medullaris is very rare, and the assessment and prognosis of this kind of tumor are distinct and unique. We present here the case of a 39 years-old man with an intramedullary tumor of the spinal cord, with an histo pathological diagnosis of glioblastoma, along with some therapeutic considerations.

ABSTRACT

O glioblastoma, um tumor anaplásico de linhagem astrocitária, é o mais freqüente tumor cerebral. Localiza-se preferencialmente nos hemisférios cerebrais; seu crescimento primário no cone medular é muito raro, e o manejo e prognóstico deste tipo de lesão são distintos dos outros tumores observados nesta localização. Apresentamos o caso de um homem de 39 anos com tumor intramedular com diagnóstico histo-patológico de glioblastoma.

ABSTRACT

This paper presents a patient successfully treated for leiomyosarcoma of the vena cava, with no recurrence or symptoms on an 8-year follow-up. A 56-year-old woman presented with chronic and progressive periumbilical and right upper abdominal pain. Physical examination and laboratory tests revealed no abnormalities. Computed tomography showed a high-density image inside the vena cava. Cavography showed a filling defect with complete occlusion of the vena cava involving the renal veins and greatly developed collateral circulation through lumbar veins. Laparotomy was performed and a large caval mass involving the renal veins was dissected and resected. Venous reconstruction was undertaken using a 19-mm bovine pericardium prosthesis (Labcor, MG-Brazil) interposed as a substitute to the vena cava, and the renal veins were anastomosed to the side of the graft. Pathologic examination confirmed a leiomyosarcoma with free surgical margins. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged on postoperative day 8. The venous flow through the inferior vena became normal, as confirmed by later cavography. This paper presents a case of successfully managed leiomyosarcoma of the vena cava with a thorough review of the literature. The treatment of such patients and the use of bovine pericardium are also discussed.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: An evaluation of the performance of a Referral Center in the diagnosis, treatment and follow up of adolescents with gestational trophoblastic disease. METHODS: In a 13-year prospective cohort study, between March 1987 and March 2000, 124 adolescents with gestational trophoblastic disease were followed up and/or treated by a multidisciplinary team. Adolescents underwent strict clinical and laboratory control after mole evacuation to guarantee adhesion to follow up, early diagnosis, and prompt treatment of persistent disease. The Student-Fischer t-test and the chi-square test were used for the statistic analysis of the results. RESULTS: Adolescents represented 21.3% of the 583 patients with gestational trophoblastic disease: 102 (82.3%) had uncomplicated hydatidiform moles, and 22 (17.7%) underwent chemotherapy for persistent gestational trophoblastic disease or a gestational trophoblastic tumor. Complications were diagnosed earlier (p < 0.001) in patients managed and treated at the referral center. Of the adolescents with complications, 81.8% were low risk, 54.5% were at the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage I, and 90.9% were treated with chemotherapy only. Time to remission and follow up were shorter for uncomplicated hydatidiform moles (9.8 +/- 3.4 weeks and 8.8 +/- 1.8 months, respectively) than for persistent disease (16.2 +/- 5.8 weeks and 45 +/- 24.5 months, respectively). Adhesion to follow up was similar in the two groups (84.2% and 91.8%). To this date, 50% of the adolescents have had one or more gestations, and 82% of these pregnancies were normal. CONCLUSIONS: Adolescents comprise approximately 20% of all gestational trophoblastic disease patients and have high adhesion to follow up. The disease did not affect their reproductive capacity, and chances of a normal subsequent gestation were high.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: analisar a relação entre a classificação clínica de White e as alterações histopatológicas de placentas de gestantes diabéticas, comparando, de forma qualitativa, as alterações histopatológicas de placentas de gestantes não-diabéticas e diabéticas gestacionais (classes A e A/B), clínicas de curta duração (classes B e C) e clínicas com vasculopatia (classes D a FRH), no termo e pré-termo, e de acordo com a qualidade do controle glicêmico na gestação. Pacientes e métodos: foram colhidas amostras de placentas de todas as gestantes diabéticas, atendidas entre 1991 e 1996 na Maternidade do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina de Botucatu, coradas pela técnica de hematoxilina-eosina e submetidas a exame histopatológico. A qualidade do controle glicêmico foi analisada pela média glicêmica da gestação e classificada em adequada e inadequada, com limite de 120 mg/dl. A idade da gestação foi individualizada em termo e pré-termo. Resultados: observou-se que 42 recém-nascidos (43,3 por cento) eram de termo e o restante, de pré-termo (56,7 por cento). O índice de prematuridade foi maior nas diabéticas clínicas (classes B e C; D a FRH). Algumas alterações histopatológicas só foram encontradas em placentas de gestantes diabéticas: degeneração cistóide, edema corial, edema da íntima, dismaturidade, hiperplasia das células de Hofbauer, vilite, células fantasmas, dois vasos no cordão umbilical e endarterite. Conclusões: as alterações histopatológicas de placentas de gestantes com diabete gestacional (classes A e A/B), clínico de curta duração (classes B e C) e clínico com vasculopatia (classes D a FRH) foram semelhantes às das não-diabéticas e, portanto, independeram da classificação clínica de White. As alterações histopatológicas de placentas de gestantes não se relacionaram com a idade gestacional ao nascimento e com a qualidade do controle glicêmico materno. A comparação entre as alterações histopatológicas e a elevada proporção de recém-nascidos pré-termo nas diabéticas clínicas, classes D a FRH, sugerem amadurecimento placentário precoce nas diabéticas clínicas com vasculopatia.

ABSTRACT

A retrospective study of 35 ovarian secundary tumor's cases was done. Ovarian tumors due to metastases correspound to 6 per cent of all malignant ovarian tumors. A correct diagnoses between primary and secundary tumor of the ovary is extremely important. In our serie the two mains primaries tumors sites were gastrointestinal tract with 31 per cent and breast with 31 per cent of the cases. Adenocarcinoma was the common tumor type (80 per cent) of the metastases to the ovary.

ABSTRACT

Cinquenta casos de carcinoma de rim, encontrados em um período de 16 anos, foram estudados pelo método imuno-histoquímico, utilizando anticorpos contra a proteína S-100, o antígeno carcinoembriônico e outros antígenos e hormônios. Cerca de 52 por cento dos casos mostraram-se positivos para a proteína S-100 e 14 por cento para o antígeno carcinoembriônico. É importante o conhecimento que os carcinomas renais podem apresentar positividade para a proteína S-100, especialmente nos casos de matástases. Outros antígenos ou hormônios foram demonstrados em carcinomas renais, entretanto näo se observou correlaçäo com os aspectos clínicos e morfológicos e este achado
