ABSTRACT

Thyroid nodules (TN) are uncommon in children. Despite TN have a higher risk of malignancy in children than in adults, in most cases, this is a rare finding and benign most of the time. The presence of intrathyroid thymic tissue may mimic the existence of a pathological node. The case of an 11-year-old female patient with a thyroid nodule incidentally detected during cervical ultrasonography and corresponding to intrathyroidal thymic tissue is presented. The goal of this research is to further study this condition to avoid unnecessary invasive diagnostic procedures.

Los nódulos tiroideos (NT) son muy infrecuentes en niños. Si bien los NT tienen mayor riesgo de malignidad en niños que en adultos, en la mayoría de los casos se trata de un hallazgo casual, cuya etiología es mayoritariamente benigna. La presencia de tejido tímico normal intratiroideo puede simular la existencia de un nódulo patológico. Se presenta el caso de una escolar de 11 años en la que se pesquisa incidentalmente un nódulo tiroideo en ultrasonografía cervical, correspondiente a un foco de timo intratiroideo. Nuestro objetivo es actualizar el conocimiento de esta entidad para evitar procedimientos diagnósticos invasivos innecesarios.

ABSTRACT

The tarsal coalition corresponds to the abnormal osseous, cartilaginous or fibrous joining between two or more bones in the midfoot or hindfoot. The anteater nose sign is caused by a tubular elongation of the anterior process of the calcaneus that approaches or overlaps the tarsal scaphoid (navicular) and resembles the nose of an anteater on a lateral foot or ankle radiograph.


La coalición tarsal corresponde a la unión anormal, ya sea ósea, cartilaginosa o fibrosa, entre dos o más huesos del retro o medio pie. El signo de la nariz del oso hormiguero es causada por un alargamiento tubular del proceso anterior del calcáneo que se acerca o se superpone con el escafoides tarsiano y se asemeja a la nariz de un oso hormiguero en una radiografía lateral del pie o tobillo.

ABSTRACT

The intrahepatic air, in particular gas within the portal venous or within biliary system, exhibits typical morphological patterns clearly seen on CT studies. Nevertheless, this gas can also be found in the periportal space, a little-known extension of the subperitoneal space, showing intrahepatic distribution patterns similar to those described above, but with completely different pathological and diagnostic implications. This fact led us to characterize this sign and its findings on CT scans, along with its main differential diagnoses.


El gas intrahepático, en particular el ubicado en relación con la vía biliar y la porta, tiene patrones morfológicos característicos especialmente evidentes en los estudios por tomografía computada. El aire,sin embargo, no solamente puede encontrarse en estos lugares, sino que también puede ubicarse en el espacio periportal; una extensión poco conocida del espacio subperitoneal, con patrones de distribución intrahepáticos similares a los ya descritos, pero con implicancias patológicas y diagnósticas completamente diferentes. Por estas razones se decide caracterizar este signo y sus hallazgos en TAC, así como sus principales diagnósticos diferenciales.
