ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Reportar un caso clínico de acrometástasis de cáncer de colon. Materiales y Métodos: Se obtiene información de la ficha clínica electrónica. Se realiza revisión de literatura, utilizando los términos "acrometastasis", "metástasis óseas", "metástasis en la mano", "metástasis en falanges". Resultados: Se presenta el caso de un paciente con antecedente de cáncer de colon sigmoides etapa IV sometido a resección de metástasis hepáticas, quimioterapia y radioterapia. Consulta por lesión ulcerada en dedo anular derecho, cuya biopsia indica metástasis de adenocarcinoma de colon. Se realiza amputación transfalángica proximal con biopsia que confirma diagnóstico. Discusión: Las metástasis en mano dan cuenta del 0,0070,2% de todas las metástasis a distancia. Se presentan como aumento de volumen doloroso de aspecto granulomatoso o asociado a ulceración con empeoramiento progresivo. El tratamiento tiene por objetivo el manejo del dolor y la preservación de la funcionalidad de la extremidad. Conclusión: El adenocarcinoma de colon, raramente, da metástasis falángicas. Corresponden a una manifestación tardía de la enfermedad con una alta tasa de mortalidad a 6 meses asociada. Se deben considerar como diagnóstico diferencial en pacientes oncológicos.


Objective: To report a clinical case of achrometastases of colon cancer. Materials and methods: Information is obtained from the electronic medical record. A literature review is performed, using the terms "achrometastases", "bone metastases", "hand metastases", "phalangeal metastases". Results: We present the case of a patient with a history of stage IV sigmoid colon cancer who underwent resection of liver metastases, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Consultation due to an ulcerative lesion on the right ring finger, whose biopsy indicated colon adenocarcinoma metastases. Proximal transphalangeal amputation is performed with biopsy confirming diagnosis. Discussion: Hand metastases account for 0.007-0.2% of all distant metastases. They present as a painful increase in volume with a granulomatous appearance or associated with progressively worsening ulceration. The treatment aims to manage pain and preserve the functionality of the limb. Conclusion: Colon adenocarcinoma rarely gives phalangeal metastases. They correspond to a late manifestation of the disease with a high associated 6-month mortality rate. They should be considered as a differential diagnosis in cancer patients.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN La patología herniaria representa un diagnóstico frecuente en cirugía y predomina en pacientes de sexo masculino y de edad avanzada. Por otra parte, el cáncer de colon es el tercer cáncer de mayor prevalencia en Uruguay, y el segundo en mortalidad. El diagnóstico de adenocarcinoma de colon que asienta sobre una hernia inguinal es infrecuente y se informan pocos casos en la bibliografía disponible. Habitualmente es un diagnóstico intraoperatorio en pacientes operados de urgencia por estrangulación herniaria. Su diagnóstico, el abordaje y la táctica quirúrgica son tema de discusión. Presentamos un caso de cáncer de colon sigmoides en una hernia inguinal izquierda irreductible, diagnosticado en el preoperatorio de hernioplastia inguinal, resecado mediante un doble abordaje convencional.


ABSTRACT Inguinal hernia represents a common diagnosis in surgery and predominates in elderly male patients. Colorectal cancer is the third most prevalent cancer in Uruguay and the second cause of mortality. The diagnosis of colon adenocarcinoma in an inguinal hernia is uncommon and few cases have been reported in the literature available. Most cases are found intraoperatively in patients undergoing emergency surgery for strangulated hernia. The diagnosis, approach and surgical tactics are matter of debate. We report a case of sigmoid colon cancer in an irreducible left inguinal hernia, diagnosed during the preoperative evaluation of inguinal hernia repair, resected by a double conventional approach.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Cardiac myxoma is the most common type of primary cardiac tumor, with the majority located in the atrial wall. The tumor is attached to valvular structures in a few cases, of which the pulmonary valve is the least affected. Pulmonary valve myxoma may have different clinical manifestations from the more common cardiac myxomas because of its vital position. A misdiagnosis of these types of cardiac myxoma may be detrimental to the care and well-being of patients. Therefore, this systematic review aims to define the clinical characteristics of pulmonary valve myxoma and how this differs from a more common cardiac myxoma. METHODS: Employed literature was obtained from PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, Springer, and ProQuest without a publication year limit on August 23, 2022. The keyword was "pulmonary valve myxoma." Inclusion criteria were as follows: (1) case report or series, (2) available individual patient data, and (3) myxoma that is attached to pulmonary valve structures with no evidence of metastasis. Non-English language or nonhuman subject studies were excluded. Johanna Briggs Institute checklists were used for the risk of bias assessment. Data are presented descriptively. RESULTS: This review included 9 case reports from 2237 articles. All cases show a low risk of bias. Pulmonary valve myxoma is dominated by males (5:4), and the patient's median age is 57 years with a bimodal distribution in pediatric and geriatric populations. The clinical manifestation of pulmonary valve myxoma is often unspecified or asymptomatic. However, systolic murmur in the pulmonary valve area is heard in 67% of cases. Echocardiography remains the diagnostic modality of choice in the majority of cases. Tumor attached to the pulmonary cusps or annulus and extended to adjacent tissues in all cases. Therefore, valve replacement or adjacent tissue reconstructions are required in 77% of cases. The recurrence and mortality are considerably high, with 33% and 22% cases, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Pulmonary valve myxoma is more common in males with a bimodal age distribution, and its outcomes seem worse than usual cardiac myxomas. Increasing awareness of its clinical symptoms, early diagnosis, and complete myxoma resection before the presence of congestive heart failure symptoms are important in achieving excellent outcomes. A firm embolization blockade is needed to prevent myxoma recurrence.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: El cáncer colorrectal es un problema de salud creciente en el mundo, el aumento en la expectativa de vida de las poblaciones, el continuo mejoramiento de las técnicas de tamizaje y la búsqueda activa de casos, son las razones por las cuales cada año se informa un aumento en el número global de casos diagnosticados con cáncer. Objetivo: Caracterizar a los pacientes operados de cáncer colorrectal tratados con quimioterapia. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional, descriptivo de corte transversal, en pacientes atendidos en la consulta multidisciplinaria de cáncer colorrectal. El universo lo conformaron todos los pacientes que acudieron a consulta en ese período, la muestra a criterio de los autores la conformaron 55 pacientes tratados con quimioterapia adyuvantes por cáncer colorrectal. La fuente primaria de la investigación estuvo dada por la historia clínica. Resultados: En cuanto a la relación sexo y edad, se observó una mayor frecuencia del grupo de 70-79 años y en el sexo femenino. Según la localización topográfica existió predominio en colon sigmoides con 33 pacientes para un 60 % de la muestra estudiada. La variante histológica adenocarcinoma moderadamente diferenciado fue la de mayor presentación. Predominaron los pacientes en estadio IIIa de la enfermedad. El esquema de quimioterapia usado con mayor frecuencia fue el Folfox. Conclusiones: En la muestra, la mayoría de los pacientes estuvieron incluidos en el grupo etáreo entre 70-79 años de edad. La localización topográfica más frecuente fue el colon sigmoide y el tipo histológico, el adenocarcinoma moderadamente diferenciado. Predominaron los pacientes en el estadio IIIa y el tratamiento con quimioterapia adyuvante más utilizado fue el esquema de Folfox.


Introduction: Colorectal cancer is a growing health problem in the world, the increase in the life expectancy of populations, the continuous improvement of screening techniques and the active search for cases, are the reasons why an increase in the global number of cases diagnosed with cancer is reported each year. Objective: To characterize the patients operated on for colorectal cancer treated with adjuvant chemotherapy. Methods: An observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out in patients seen at the multidisciplinary colorectal cancer clinic. The universe was made up of all the patients who attended the consultation in that period, the sample at the authors' criteria was made up of 55 patients treated with adjuvant chemotherapy for colorectal cancer. The primary source of the investigation was given by the clinical history. Results: Regarding the relationship between sex and age, a higher frequency was observed in the group of 70-79 years and in the female sex. Regarding the topographic location, there was a predominance in the sigmoid colon with 33 patients for 60% of the sample studied. The moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma histological variant was the one with the highest presentation. Patients in stage IIIa of the disease were more frequent. The most frequently used chemotherapy regimen was Folfox. Conclusions: In the sample, most of the patients were included in the age group between 70-79 years of age. The most frequent topographic location was the sigmoid colon and the histological type was moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma. Patients in stage IIIa predominated and the most widely used adjuvant chemotherapy treatment was the Folfox regimen.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: To determine 5-year survival in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) according to patient and tumor characteristics. Methods: Longitudinal study based on incident cases of invasive CRC between 2008 and 2017 captured by the Manizales Population-based Cancer Registry (n=850). Patients were followed up to August 24th, 2021. Cause-specific survival and net survival were calculated for sociodemographic and tumor characteristics, and Cox multivariate was fitted. Results: Fifty-five percent of cases occurred in women. The most frequent histological type was adenocarcinoma (78.2%). The most frequent locations were rectum (32.0%), ascending colon (16.6%), and sigmoid (16.2%). Twenty-five percent of cases were diagnosed in stage IV. There were 567 deaths due to CRC. The 5-year specific survival was 45.8% (95%CI 42.4-49.3), with independent effects for age (HR=1.83; 95%CI 1.26-2.65 age >75 years vs. <50 years) and advanced clinical stage (HR=2.5 and HR 5.7 for stages III and IV vs. stage I, respectively). Lower survival was observed in patients of medium socioeconomic status compared with higher socioeconomic status (HR=1.52; 95%CI 1.08-2.14), but not in patients of low socioeconomic status. No independent effects were observed for the health insurance regime. Conclusions: In Manizales, approximately 5 out of 10 patients with invasive CRC die in the first five years after diagnosis, with a lower survival in patients older than 75 years, from medium socioeconomic level and diagnosed in advanced clinical stages.


RESUMEN Objetivo: Estimar la supervivencia a 5 años en pacientes con cáncer colorrectal (CCR) según características del paciente y del tumor. Métodos: Estudio longitudinal a partir de los casos de CCR invasivo diagnosticados entre 2008 y 2017 captados por el Registro Poblacional de Cáncer de Manizales (n=850). Se realizó seguimiento hasta el 24 de agosto de 2021. Se calculó la supervivencia causa-específica y la supervivencia neta para las características sociodemográficas y del tumor, y análisis multivariado de Cox. Resultados: El 55,5% de los casos se presentaron en mujeres. El tipo histológico más frecuente (78,2%) fue el adenocarcinoma. Las localizaciones más frecuentes fueron recto (32,0%), colon ascendente (16,6%) y sigmoides (16,2%). El 25,5% de los casos fue diagnosticado en estadio IV. Ocurrieron 567 muertes por CCR. La supervivencia específica a 5 años fue del 45,8% (IC95% 42,4-49,3), con efectos independientes para la edad (HR=1,83; IC95% 1,26-2,65 edad >75 años vs. edad <50 años) y el estadio clínico avanzado (HR=2,5 y HR 5,7 para estadios III y IV vs. estadio I). Se observó una menor supervivencia en pacientes de nivel socioeconómico medio en comparación con el grupo de mayor posición socioeconómica (HR=1,52; IC95% 1,08-2,14), pero no en los pacientes de posición socioeconómica baja. No se observaron efectos independientes para el régimen de aseguramiento en salud. Conclusiones: En Manizales, aproximadamente 5 de cada 10 pacientes con CCR invasivo fallecen en los primeros cinco años del diagnóstico, con sobrevida menor en pacientes mayores de 75 años, de nivel socioeconómico medio y diagnosticados en estadio clínico avanzado.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Angiosarcomas are the most common malignant tumors of the heart and great vessels. Late onset and unspecific symptoms are reasons why a diagnosis is made rather late at a time when most tumors have already metastasized. We report a rare case of an angiosarcoma presenting as pulmonary artery emboli. CASE PRESENTATION: A 66-year-old patient was initially admitted to the hospital with a STEMI. Days later a successful reanimation due to ventricular fibrillation followed. An emboli of the pulmonary artery was diagnosed as the cause and after a lysis therapy the patient was discharged. A few weeks later the patient suffered an episode of absolute arrhythmia. TTE as well as CT-Scan showed an emboli of the pulmonary artery and a pericardial effusion with compression to the right ventricle. Intraoperative findings, showed an infiltrating tumor of the pulmonary artery, the pulmonary valve, the RVOT, the LA and LV. A resection of the tumor from the pulmonary artery, valve and RVOT was carried out. A new pulmonary valve was implanted with the reconstruction of the RVOT and pulmonary artery. Due to LV infiltration, only a palliative surgical approach was possible. Despite an uncomplicated postoperative course, the patient died at home two months later. CONCLUSION: Although a rarity, a tumor of the pulmonary artery should be taken into consideration as a differential diagnosis to pulmonary artery emboli. Development of better diagnostic tools (specific tumor markers) and more effective chemotherapeutic agents is necessary to improve the prognosis of these patients.

ABSTRACT

Resumen Introducción: el cáncer colorrectal es la cuarta causa de mortalidad asociada con cáncer en el mundo. La identificación de las metástasis de este tumor en el momento prequirúrgico es cada vez más frecuente por los estudios imagenológicos con los que se cuenta en la actualidad. Presentamos el caso de una paciente con infección por Enterobius vermicularis que simula la presencia de metástasis hepáticas. Presentación del caso: se presenta el caso de una paciente femenina proveniente del área rural, con dolor abdominal de 1 año de evolución asociado con hemorragia de vías digestivas bajas y pérdida de peso. Las imágenes y estudios endoscópicos muestran una lesión tumoral en el colon sigmoide con biopsias que reportan adenocarcinoma de colon sigmoides, además de lesiones hepáticas sugestivas de malignidad. Se llevó a resección anterior de recto y sigmoides con anastomosis alta y toma de biopsias hepáticas, que descartaron la malignidad e informaron la presencia de infección hepática por E. vermicularis. Discusión: La infección por E. vermicularis a nivel hepático presentada en el caso es poco frecuente, dicha infección puede simular la presencia de metástasis hepáticas, por lo cual debe tenerse en cuenta como diagnóstico diferencial de enfermedad metastásica de cáncer colorrectal.


Abstract Introduction: colorectal cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. The identification of the metastases of this tumor in the preoperative stage is increasingly frequent due to the imaging studies currently available. We present the case of a patient with an infection caused by Enterobius vermicularis that simulates the presence of liver metastases. Case presentation: a female patient from a rural area showing a one-year abdominal pain evolution associated with lower gastrointestinal tract bleeding and weight loss. Endoscopic imaging and studies displayed a tumor lesion in the sigmoid colon, with biopsies reporting sigmoid colon adenocarcinoma and liver lesions suggesting malignancy. Anterior resection of the rectum and sigmoid was performed with high anastomosis and liver biopsies, which ruled out malignancy and reported the presence of liver infection by E. vermicularis. Discussion: in this case, the hepatic E. vermicularis infection was rare. This infection can simulate the presence of liver metastases; therefore, it should be considered a differential diagnosis of metastatic colorectal cancer.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Cardiac papillary fibroelastoma (PFE) is a rare tumor, and especially rare when found on the pulmonary valve. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 70-year-old woman patient with a pulmonary valve PFE diagnosed incidentally during a follow-up of aortic regurgitation. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed no suggestive signs of malignant tumors, and thrombus or myxoma was initially suspected. However, an initial transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiogram did not exclude the possibility of a malignant tumor attached to the wall of the pulmonary artery. Considering the embolization risk, we opted to perform tumorectomy, in which additional surgical procedures could then be conducted if intraoperative diagnosis showed a malignant tumor. Indeed, intraoperative findings showed the tumoral mass attached on the left semilunar cusp of the pulmonary valve, and intraoperative diagnosis of the tumor showed no malignancy. Planned tumorectomy was performed concomitantly with AVR. The pathologic examination of the removed tumor confirmed the diagnosis of PFE. Her postoperative course was uneventful without any sign of recurrence. CONCLUSION: This case highlights the difficulty of accurate diagnostic imaging and provides valuable insight into a successful surgical treatment of pulmonary valve PFE without any complications.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN: Gran parte de los pacientes con cáncer de colon (CC), son diagnosticados y tratados de forma electiva. Sin embargo, aproximadamente un 20 % de ellos debutará como una emergencia (obstrucción o perforación). El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar morbilidad postoperatoria (MPO) y supervivencia global (SVG) en pacientes resecados por CC perforado (CCP). Serie de casos retrospectiva de pacientes con CCP, sometidos a colectomía y linfadenectomía, de forma consecutiva, en Clínica RedSalud Mayor y Hospital de Temuco, Chile, entre 2010 y 2019. Las variables resultados fueron SVG y MPO. Otras variables de interés fueron: tiempo quirúrgico, resecabilidad, número de linfonodos resecados, estancia hospitalaria, mortalidad operatoria, recurrencia y supervivencia libre de enfermedad (SLE). Los pacientes fueron seguidos de forma clínica. Se utilizó estadística descriptiva, con medidas de tendencia central y dispersión; y análisis de SV con curvas de Kaplan Meier. Se intervinieron 15 pacientes (60 % mujeres), con una mediana de edad de 62 años. La localización más frecuente fue sigmoides (6 casos; 40,0 %). La resecabilidad de la serie fue 100 %. La medianas del tiempo quirúrgico, número de linfonodos resecados y estancia hospitalaria; fueron 80 min, 20 y 5 días respectivamente. La MPO fue 26,7 % (4 casos). Con una mediana de seguimiento de 36 meses, se verificó una recurrencia de 40,0 %. Por otra parte, la SVG y SLE a 5 años fue 46,7 % y 33,3 % respectivamente. Los resultados obtenidos, en términos de MPO y SVG, fueron similares a series internacionales.


SUMMARY: Most patients with colon cancer (CC) are diagnosed and treated electively. However, a fifth of them will debut as an emergency (obstruction or perforation). The aim of this study was to determine postoperative morbidity (POM) and overall survival (OS) in patients resected by perforated CC (PCC). Retrospective case series of patients with PCC undergoing colectomy and lymphadenectomy, consecutively, at RedSalud Mayor Clinic and Temuco hospital, Chile, between 2010 and 2019. The outcome variable were POM and OS. Other variables of interest were surgical time, resectability, number of resected lymph nodes, hospital stay, mortality, recurrence, and disease-free survival (DFS). Patients were followed clinically. Descriptive statistics was used (measures of central tendency and dispersion), and OS analysis was applying Kaplan Meier curves.15 patients (60 % women) were intervened, with a median age of 62 years. The most frequent location was the sigmoid colon (6 cases, 40.0 %). Resectability of the series was 100 %. Median surgical time, number of lymph nodes resected, and hospital stay; they were 80 min, 20 and 5 days respectively. POM was 26.7 % (4 cases). With a median follow-up of 36 months, recurrence was 40.0 %. On the other hand, OS and DFS at 5 years were 46.7 % and 33.3 %, respectively. The observed results, in terms of POM and OS, were like international series.

ABSTRACT

SUMMARY: Treatment of colonic cancer (CC) and synchronic liver metastasis (SLM) is still controversial in relation to how to act. The aim of this study was to analyze initial single center experience in simultaneous surgical approach of patients with CC and SLM, in terms of overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). Retrospective case series of patients with CC and SLM undergoing simultaneous surgery, consecutively, at Clínica RedSalud Mayor Temuco, between 2007 and 2021. Outcome variables were OS and DFS. Other variables of interest were postoperative morbidity (POM), surgical time, hospital stay and mortality. Descriptive statistics was used (measures of central tendency and dispersion), and survival analysis was estimated applying Kaplan Meier curves. Sixteen patients (10 female and 6 male) were operated, with a median age of 61 years. The most frequent localization was cecum and right colon (37.5 %). In all patients some type of liver resection was added (parenchymal-sparing hepatectomy or anatomical resection). Median surgical time and hospital stay were 150 min and 5 days respectively. POM was 31.2 % (5 cases), mainly Clavien & Dindo I and II (12.5 % of patients required a re-intervention). With a median follow-up of 52 months 1, 3 and 5-year OS were 100 %, 62.5 %, and 50.0 % respectively. On the other hand, DFS rates of 1, 3 and 5-year were 75.0 %, 43.8 %, and 25.0 % respectively. The series had no mortality. OS, DFS, POM and mortality, were like other series. Simultaneous resection of CC and SLM is an aggressive approach, but not compromise oncological outcomes.


RESUMEN: El tratamiento del cáncer de colon (CC) con metástasis hepática sincrónica (MHS), tiene un tratamiento controvertido aún. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar la experiencia unicéntrica en el tratamiento de pacientes con CC y MHS simultáneo, en términos de supervivencia global (SG) y supervivencia libre de enfermedad (SLE). Serie de casos retrospectiva consecutiva, de pacientes con CC y MHS sometidos a cirugía simultánea, en Clínica RedSalud Mayor Temuco, entre 2007 y 2021. Las variables de resultado fueron SG y SLE. Otras variables de interés fueron la morbilidad postoperatoria (MPO), tiempo quirúrgico, estancia hospitalaria y mortalidad. Se utilizó estadística descriptiva (medidas de tendencia central y dispersión) y se estimó supervivencia aplicando curvas de Kaplan Meier. Se operaron 16 pacientes (10 mujeres y 6 hombres), con mediana de edad de 61 años. La localización más frecuente fue ciego-colon derecho (37,5 %). En todos los casos se practicó algún tipo de resección hepática (hepatectomía conservadora o resección anatómica). La mediana del tiempo quirúrgico y la estancia hospitalaria fueron de 150 min y 5 días respectivamente. La MPO fue del 31,2 % (5 casos), principalmente Clavien & Dindo I y II (hubo 12,5 % de reintervenciones). Con una mediana de seguimiento de 52 meses. La SG a 1, 3 y 5 años fue 100 %, 62,5 % y 50,0 %, respectivamente. Por otro lado, la SLE a 1, 3 y 5 años fue 75,0 %, 43,8 % y 25,0 %, respectivamente. La serie no tuvo mortalidad. La SG, SLE, MPO y la mortalidad fueron similares a otras series. La resección simultánea de CC y SLM es agresiva, pero no compromete los resultados oncológicos.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Serrated lesions represent a group of lesions with different genetic and biological features causing important clinical repercussions. Three types of serrated lesions are identified: hyperplastic, sessile adenomas (with and without dysplasia) and traditional serrated adenomas. Such lesions are now recognized as precancerous lesions.The carcinogenic process of serrated lesions follows a pathway including: alterations concerning activation of mitogen and protein kinase regulating the extracellular signal of other intracellular kinases (MAPK-ERK), inhibition of the apoptosis and hypermethylation of DNA and instability of microsatellites. Like for adenomatous polyps, the risk factors for serrated lesions are environmental factors, related to lifestyle and diet. The cancerogenic risk is increased by excessive alcohol consumption, obesity and poor intake of folate. When a high number of colorectal polyps with architecture serrated is diagnosed, it could be considered as serrated polyposis syndrome (SPS). According the most recent ESGE guidelines, the diagnostic criteria of the SPS, are: at least 5 polyps resected proximal to the sigmoid colon, 2 of which> 10 mm, or >20 serrated lesions of any size distributed in the entire colon. This condition presents a high risk for personal and/or familiar CRC, for this reason a regular screening colonoscopy should be performed in these patients and in their first-degree relatives.


RESUMEN Las lesiones serradas representan un grupo de lesiones con diferentes características genéticas y biológicas que provocan importantes repercusiones clínicas. Se identifican tres tipos de lesiones serradas: adenomas hiperplásicos, sésiles (con y sin displasia) y adenomas serrados tradicionales. Estas lesiones se reconocen actualmente como lesiones precancerosas.El proceso carcinogénico de las lesiones serradas sigue una vía que incluye: alteraciones relativas a la activación del mitógeno y de la proteína quinasa reguladora de la señal extracelular de otras quinasas intracelulares (MAPK-ERK), inhibición de la apoptosis e hipermetilación del ADN e inestabilidad microsatelital. Al igual que en el caso de los pólipos adenomatosos, los factores de riesgo de las lesiones serradas son factores ambientales, relacionados con el estilo de vida y la dieta. El riesgo cancerígeno aumenta con el consumo excesivo de alcohol, la obesidad y la ingesta deficiente de folatos. Cuando se diagnostica un número elevado de pólipos colorrectales con arquitectura serrada, puede considerarse como síndrome de poliposis serrada (SPS). Según las guías más recientes de la ESGE, los criterios diagnósticos del SPS, son: al menos 5 pólipos resecados proximalmente al colon sigmoides, 2 de los cuales> 10 mm, o > 20 lesiones serradas de cualquier tamaño distribuidas en todo el colon. Esta condición presenta un alto riesgo de CCR personal y/o familiar, por lo que debe realizarse una colonoscopia de cribado periódica en estos pacientes y en sus familiares de primer grado.

ABSTRACT

SUMMARY: The standard treatment of colonic cancer (CC) continues to be the radical resection of the intestinal segment compromised with free margins, associated or not with adjuvant therapies. The aim of this study was to determine postoperative morbidity (POM) and 5-year overall survival (OS) in patients with uncomplicated colon cancer surgically treated. Retrospective case series of patients with uncomplicated CC undergoing colectomy and lymphadenectomy, consecutively, at Clínica Red Salud Mayor Temuco, between 2007 and 2019. The outcomes variable were POM and 5-years OS. Other variables of interest were surgical time, number of resected lymph nodes, hospital stay and recurrence. Descriptive statistics was used (measures of central tendency and dispersion), and OS analysis was applying Kaplan Meier curves. In this study, 52 patients (53.8 % men) were intervened, with a median age of 68 years. The most frequent localization and stages were right colon (42.3 %); IIIA and IIIB respectively (78.9 %). Median surgical time, number of resected lymph nodes and hospital stay were 98 min, 34 and 4.5 days respectively. POM was 17.3 % (9 cases). With a median follow- up of 58 months, a recurrence of 19.2 % was verified, and the 5-year OS for stages IIA, IIIA, IIIB and IVA was 83.3 %, 73.6 %, 68.2 % and 40.0 % respectively. The results, in terms of POM, mortality and 5-year OS, were similar to national and international series.


RESUMEN: El tratamiento estándar del cáncer de colon (CC), continua siendo la resección radical del segmento intestinal comprometido con márgenes libres (al menos 5 cm por encima y debajo del tumor), pudiendo asociarse o no a terapias complementarias. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar morbilidad postoperatoria (MPO) y supervivencia actuarial global (SVAG) a 5 años en pacientes resecados por CC no complicado. Serie de casos con seguimiento, de pacientes con CC no complicado, sometidos a colectomía subtotal y linfadenectomía, de forma consecutiva, en Clínica Red Salud Mayor Temuco, entre 2007 y 2019. Las variables resultado fueron MPO y SV actuarial global (SVAG) a 5 años. Otras variables de interés fueron: tiempo quirúrgico, número de linfonodos resecados, estancia hospitalaria y recurrencia. Se utilizó estadística descriptiva, con medidas de tendencia central y dispersión; y análisis de SV con curvas de Kaplan Meier. Se intervinieron 52 pacientes (53,8 % hombres), con una mediana de edad de 68 años. La localización y estadios más frecuentes fueron colon derecho (42,3 %); IIIA y IIIB respectivamente (78,9 %). La resecabilidad de la serie fue 100 %. La medianas del tiempo quirúrgico, del número de linfonodos resecados y de estancia hospitalaria; fueron de 98 min, 34 y 4.5 días respectivamente. La MPO fue 17,3 % (9 casos). Con una mediana de seguimiento de 58 meses, se verificó una recurrencia de 19,2 %; y una SVAG a 5 años para los estadios IIA, IIIA, IIIB y IVA; de 83,3 %; 73,6 %; 68,2 % y 40,0 % respectivamente. Los resultados obtenidos, en términos de MPO, mortalidad y SVAG a 5 años, fueron similares a series de nacionales e internacionales.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUD: Lipoblastoma is a rare, benign, fatty tissue tumour tumor that occurs in infancy and early childhood. Intrathoracic and mediastinal involvement of this tumour is rare, and an intracardiac location is even rarer. AIMS: To report the first case of a lipoblastoma in the pulmonary valve. MATERIALS: In this study, we report the case of a 15-month-old girl who presented with a tumour in the pulmonary valve. RESULTS: The tumour was completely resected macroscopically. Histological examination of the lesion confirmed the diagnosis of lipoblastoma. DISCUSSION: Most primary cardiac tumours are benign in the sense they are not invasive. However, benign tumours maintain the potential for serious illness related to significant haemodynamic compromise or life-threatening dysrhythmias. Due to the association of lipoblastoma with other heart malformations, preoperative diagnosis remains challenging. CONCLUSION: Tumours on the heart valve are more likely to cause haemodynamic disturbances. Complete resection yields an excellent prognosis.

ABSTRACT

Introducción:Los tumores sincrónicos son sumamente raros, la coexistencia de cáncer de colon y apéndice es un fenómeno relativamente inusual, que plantea problemas diagnósticos a la hora de discriminar la naturaleza primaria o metastásica de cada uno de ellos. Este hecho se suscita en la mayor parte de los casos ante adenocarcinomas mucosecretores sincrónicos. Reporte de caso:Presentamos el caso de una paciente femenina de 72 años de edad que ingresó al servicio de emergencia del Hospital Regional Docente Las Mercedes de Chiclayo por sintomatología de dolor abdominal agudo, donde se le realizan estudios imagenológicos con diagnóstico presuntivo de neoplasia maligna de recto, ingresando a sala de operaciones. El resultado anatomopatológico evidenció un diagnóstico de Adenocarcinoma tubular con componente mucinoso en recto-sigmoides de bajo grado de malignidad (moderadamente diferenciado), con invasión hasta tejido adiposo peri rectal adyacente, bordes de invasión infiltrativo e invasión perineural, con margen de resección libre y ganglios linfáticos libres de neoplasia maligna; además de, Adenocarcinoma mucinoso de apéndicemoderadamentediferenciado(G2),delocalizacióndifusa,la neoplasia invade hasta la muscular propia, margen de resección libres de neoplasia maligna. La importancia de esta categoría es que la Conclusión:frecuencia de neoplasias malignas a nivel apendicular no es alta, y su asociación simultánea con Adenocarcinoma colorrectal las hace aún más insólitas

ABSTRACT

Introducción: la desnutrición es un factor negativo en el manejo del paciente con cáncer. Objetivo: evaluar la influencia del tratamiento oncológico en la evolución del estado nutricional del paciente diagnosticado con cáncer de cabeza y cuello. Métodos: estudio descriptivo, longitudinal, prospectivo y correlacional. Muestra de 36 pacientes, mediante técnica no probabilística a conveniencia. Se utilizó un instrumento con variables demográficas, clínicas, antropométricas, presencia de complicaciones y vía de alimentación; se aplicó estadístico descriptivo con media, desviación estándar, frecuencias y porcentaje. Como estadística inferencial se utilizó la técnica de Fisher, con significancia del valor p < 0,05. Resultados: Se tuvieron 36 pacientes. De los cuales 19 (52,7%) fueron del sexo masculino. No hay correlación significativa entre IMC y el tratamiento oncológico, p=0,074; tampoco entre IMC y vía de alimentación, p=0,796. No hay correlación significativa entre la albúmina sérica y las complicaciones durante el tratamiento oncológico, p=0,278; y las complicaciones después del tratamiento oncológico, p=0,877. Discusión: En los datos de Varila et al. 25, se obtiene la vía oral como la vía de alimentación predominante, en menor medida la sonda. Según Huata Vilca 28, existe algún grado de correlación entre la albúmina sérica y la aparición de alguna complicación postoperatoria, estos resultados son en el vólvulo del sigmoides. Conclusiones: No hay una correlación significativa entre IMC y el tratamiento oncológico, tampoco entre el IMC y la vía de alimentación. Entre la albúmina sérica no hay una correlación significativa con las complicaciones durante y después del tratamiento oncológico. (AU)


Introduction: malnutrition is a negative factor in the management of patients with cancer. Objective: to evaluate the influence of cancer treatment on the evolution of the nutritional status of the patient diagnosed with head and neck cancer. Methods: descriptive, longitudinal, prospective and correlational study. Sample of 36 patients, using a convenience non-probabilistic technique. An instrument with demographic, clinical, anthropometric variables, presence of complications and feeding route was used; Descriptive statistics were applied with mean, standard deviation, frequencies and percentage. Fisher’s technique was used as inferential statistics, with significance of p <0,05. Results: There were 36 patients. Of which 19 (52,7%) were male. There is no significant correlation between BMI and cancer treatment, p = 0,074; nor between BMI and food route, p = 0,796. There is no significant correlation between serum albumin and complications during cancerb treatment, p = 0,278; and complications after cancer treatment, p = 0,877. Discussion: The oral route is obtained as the predominantroute of feeding, to a lesser extent the tube. There is some degree of correlation between serum albumin and the appearance of some postoperative complication; these results are in sigmoid volvulus. Conclusions: There is no significant correlation between BMI and cancer treatment, nor between BMI and diet. There is no significant correlation between serum albumin with complications during and after cancer treatment. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción: los pólipos colorrectales son elevaciones circunscritas de la mucosa, la mayoría son asintomáticos, que constituyen un factor de riesgo del cáncer colorrectal. Objetivo: identificar la relación existente entre variables como la edad, sexo, índice de masa corporal, endoscópicas e histológicas y el riesgo de presentar displasia en la lesión resecada. Métodos: se realizó un estudio de cohorte en pacientes que se les practicó colonoscopia y tuvieron diagnóstico histológico de adenoma de colon, atendidos en el servicio de gastroenterología del Hospital Provincial Universitario Carlos Manuel de Céspedes, desde el 1ro de septiembre de 2016 hasta el 31 de agosto de 2019. Resultados: se estudiaron 83 pacientes, la edad media fue de 60.9 años, el sexo masculino aportó el 61.4 por ciento de los casos, como promedio el índice de masa corporal fue de 25 Kg/m2, el tamaño promedio de las lesiones fue de 11.2mm, el adenoma tubular fue el más frecuente (88/119), las lesiones se localizaron con mayor frecuencia en el sigmoides (34/119) y la morfología polipoidea sésil aportó el 52.9 por ciento. En el análisis multivariado el tamaño mayor de 8 mm, la localización distal, la morfología plana y el componente velloso incrementaron la probabilidad de displasia. Conclusiones: la aparición de displasia fue más frecuente entre la quinta y sexta décadas de la vida, así como en las lesiones mayores de ocho milímetros. Se comprueba el valor cimero del componente velloso del adenoma, el tamaño mayor de ocho milímetros, la localización distal y la morfología plana como los factores de mayor asociación con el riesgo de desarrollar la displasia en los adenomas colónicos(AU)


Introduction: colorectal polyps are circumscribed elevations of the mucosa, most of which are asymptomatic, which constitute a risk factor for colorectal cancer. Objective: to identify the relationship between variables such as age, sex, body mass index, endoscopic and histological and the risk of presenting dysplasia in the resected lesion. Methods: a cohort study was carried out in patients who underwent colonoscopy and had a histological diagnosis of colon adenoma, treated at the gastroenterology service of the Carlos Manuel de Céspedes Provincial Universitario Hospital, from September 1, 2016 to December 31, August 2019. Results: 83 patients were studied, the average age was 60.9 years, the male sex contributed 61.4 percent of the cases, on average the body mass index was 25 Kg/m2, the average size of the lesions It was 11.2mm, the tubular adenoma was the most frequent (88/119), the lesions were located more frequently in the sigmoid (34/119) and the sessile polypoid morphology contributed 52.9 percent. In the multivariate analysis, the size greater than 8mm, the distal location, the flat morphology and the hairy component increased the probability of dysplasia. Conclusions: the appearance of dysplasia was more frequent between the fifth and sixth decades of life, as well as in lesions larger than eight millimeters. The top value of the hairy component of the adenoma, the size greater than eight millimeters, the distal location and the flat morphology are verified as the factors of greatest association with the risk of developing dysplasia in colonic adenomas(EU)

RESUMO Introdução: pólipos colorretais são elevações circunscritas da mucosa, a maioria é assintomática, que são um fator de risco para o câncer colorretal. Objetivo: identificar a relação entre variáveis como idade, sexo, índice de massa corporal, endoscópico e histológico e o risco de displasia na lesão seca. Métodos: foi realizado estudo de coorte em pacientes que fizeram colonoscopia e tiveram diagnóstico histológico de adenoma de cólon, atendido no serviço de gastroenterologia do Hospital Universitário Provincial Carlos Manuel de Céspedes, de 1º de setembro de 2016 a 31 de agosto de 2019. Resultados: foram estudados 83 pacientes, a idade média foi de 60,9 anos, o sexo masculino contribuiu com 61,4% dos casos, em média, o índice de massa corporal foi de 25 Kg/m2, o tamanho médio das lesões foi de 11,2mm, o adenoma tubular foi o mais comum (88/119), as lesões foram mais frequentemente localizadas no sigmoide (34/119) e a morfologia polipóíide sessile contribuiu com 52,9%. Na análise multivariada, o tamanho maior de 8mm, localização distal, morfologia plana e componente peludo aumentou a probabilidade de displasia. Conclusões: o início da displasia foi mais comum entre a quinta e a sexta décadas de vida, bem como em lesões superiores a oito milímetros. O valor cimero do componente peludo do adenoma, o tamanho maior de oito milímetros, a localização distal e a morfologia plana são verificados como os fatores mais associados ao risco de desenvolver displasia em adenomas colonicos.

ABSTRACT

CASE: A 67-year-old female presented with an exceedingly rare cardiac neoplasm - papillary fibroelastoma. This is made rarer still as it occurred on the pulmonary valve. The patient complained of a prolonged history of chest discomfort. Magnetic resonance imaging and echocardiography revealed a pulmonary valve papillary fibroelastoma. Surgical excision proved curative and the patient remains asymptomatic to date. DISCUSSION: The literature surrounding papillary fibroelastomas is discussed. Primary cardiac tumours are uncommon. Papillary fibroelastomas occurring the right side of the heart comprise less than 0.05% of these. They have a characteristic macroscopic appearance which allow them to be easily identified with echocardiography and at surgical excision. They can present in a variety of ways including classical cardiac symptoms, embolic complications or as an incidental finding. Surgical excision is the definitive treatment.
