ABSTRACT

Involvement of the thyroid gland by tuberculosis is very rare and is usually secondary to disseminated infection. Very few cases of primary thyroid tuberculosis have been described even in countries with a high incidence of this disease. We present the case of a Spanish patient operated for a suspicious thyroid nodule that was finally diagnosed as primary thyroid tuberculosis.


La afectación de la glándula tiroidea por tuberculosis es muy rara y generalmente es secundaria a una enfermedad ­diseminada. Se han descrito muy pocos casos de tuberculosis tiroidea primaria incluso en paises con alta incidencia de esta enfermedad. Presentamos el caso de una paciente española operada por un nódulo tiroideo sospechoso que fue finalmente diagnosticado como tuberculosis tiroidea primaria.

ABSTRACT

La infección por el virus SARS-CoV-2 provoca, además de cuadros respiratorios graves, episodios trombóticos en múltiples localizaciones debido a una mala regulación de la respuesta inmune. Presentamos el caso de un paciente con colecistitis incipiente que desarrolló trombosis portal aguda sin ningún otro antecedente salvo haber pasado de forma asintomática una infección por COVID-19. Dado que esta complicación es extremadamente infrecuente en pacientes sin factores predisponentes ni infecciones graves, consideramos que la infección por COVID-19 pudo ser un factor desencadenante de la trombosis portal y debemos de tenerlo en cuenta de cara al manejo y tratamiento de futuros casos similares.Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2019 infection causes, in addition to severe respiratory symptoms, thrombotic episodes in multiple locations due to dysregulation of the immune response. We present the case of a patient with incipient cholecystitis who developed acute portal thrombosis with no other antecedents except having passed an asymptomatic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. Since this complication is extremely rare in patients without predisposing factors or serious infections, we consider that COVID-19 infection could be a triggering factor for portal thrombosis and we must take it into account in the management and treatment of future similar cases.

ABSTRACT

The pre-operative differential diagnosis of gastric subepithelial lesions is complex. We can find pathologies with a very different behavior. Some of them, like gastrointestinal (GI) stromal tumors, can present a malignant behavior, and others like schwannomas are practically benign. Schwannomas of the GI tract originate from the Schwann cells of the Auerbach plexus and their most frequent location is the stomach. The definitive diagnosis is made by immunohistochemical analysis of the surgical specimen and its resection is curative. We report two cases of gastric subepithelial lesions with a definitive diagnosis of schwannoma.


El diagnóstico diferencial preoperatorio de las lesiones subepiteliales gástricas es complejo. Podemos encontrar patologías con un comportamiento muy diferente. Algunas de ellas, como los GIST (gastrointestinal stromal tumours), pueden presentar un comportamiento maligno, y otras, como los schwannomas, son prácticamente benignas. Los schwannomas del tracto gastrointestinal se originan de las células de Schwann del plexo de Auerbach y su localización más frecuente es el estómago. El diagnóstico definitivo se realiza mediante el análisis inmunohistoquímico de la pieza quirúrgica, y su resección es curativa. Reportamos dos casos de lesiones subepiteliales gástricas con diagnóstico definitivo de schwannoma.

ABSTRACT

Metastases to the thyroid gland are unusual, especially from a colorectal cancer. We present the case of an 85-year-old female with a history of colon cancer in 2004 treated with surgery, who 14 years later develop dysphonia and dysphagia associated to an elevation of carcinoembryonic antigen. A pathologic thyroid mass was evidenced in a positron emission tomography-computed tomography. The colorectal origin of the mass was confirmed with a biopsy. The patient received surgical treatment doing the right hemithyroidectomy. This entity must be suspected in patients with oncological history and a new thyroid nodule. Surgery is a therapeutic option with either curative or palliative intent.


Las metástasis sobre el tiroides son inusuales y las de origen colorrectal son extremadamente infrecuentes. Se presenta el caso de una mujer de 85 años con antecedente de cáncer de colon intervenido en 2004 que 14 años después presenta signos clínicos de disfonía y disfagia relacionados con elevación del CEA. Tras realizarse una PET-TC se evidencia una masa tiroidea y se confirma su origen colorrectal mediante biopsia. La paciente se sometió a una hemitiroidectomía derecha. Esta entidad debe sospecharse en pacientes con antecedentes oncológicos y un nódulo tiroideo de nueva aparición. La intervención es una opción terapéutica con intención curativa y paliativa.
