ABSTRACT
Los sarcomas de mama son raros, aparecen con una frecuencia de 1-3 por ciento de todos los tumores mamarios malignos. El liposarcoma mamario supone el 3-24 por ciento de estos sarcomas primarios. Es un tumor de muy difícil diagnóstico preoperatorio ya que la PAAF es inconcluyente en casi todos los casos. Los tratamientos propuestos son múltiples; desde escisión local, mastectomía simple, quimioterapia y radioterapia complementaria o tratamiento conservador más radioterapia. Los resultados de estos tratamientos son poco concluyentes por el escaso número de casos. No así la linfadenectomía rutinaria que es innecesaria. Aportamos el caso de un liposarcoma gigante mamario en una mujer de 65 años. La exploración, la mamografía y ecografía detectaron un tumor liso, redondeado y regular. La PAAF no fue concluyente. El liposarcoma de mama es un tumor raro, de difícil diagnóstico, cuyo tratamiento no está claramente establecido (AU)

Solitary and early brain metastases from colon carcinoma are unusual. This possibility must be kept in mind, in patients with cerebral metastasis of unknown adenocarcinoma. These patients could benefit from colonoscopy and CEA studies with the aim of achieving more early diagnosis and surgical resection. The case of a 48-year-old woman with brain metastasis diagnosed 4 months before the primary tumor, a colon cancer, is reported.

Nonspecific colon ulcers are a rare disease which may produce lower gastrointestinal bleeding. A history of previous nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs ingestion may be recorded in most patients. The right colon is the main location, being the cecum the most frequent site. However, they may be distributed in all the large intestine, including the rectum. We present a case of lower massive gastrointestinal hemorrhage produced by nonspecific colic ulcers requiring emergency total colectomy. Although infrequent, they have to be considered in every patient with lower gastrointestinal bleeding and previous nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs ingestion.
