ABSTRACT

Introducción: El hemangioma cavernoso es una de las neoplasias benignas más frecuentes en la infancia. Objetivo: Describir el caso de un hemangioma cavernoso en edad pediátrica. Caso clínico: Lactante femenina de 6 meses de edad, de procedencia urbana, cuyo nacimiento tuvo lugar en el Hospital Materno Fe del Valle Ramos, del municipio Manzanillo. Al nacer se observa una lesión en forma placa eritematosa violácea infiltrada de ± 10 cm, de borde definido, de superficie liza, con aumento de temperatura al tacto, que se extendía desde la parte medial anterior y posterior hasta la superior de la pierna del miembro inferior izquierdo. Se decidió interconsultar con el Servicio de Angiología, el cual diagnostica la lesión como hemangioma cavernoso. Conclusiones: Se corroboró que el hemangioma cavernoso es una entidad frecuente en la infancia, su diagnóstico y tratamiento oportunos son altamente beneficiosos para la mejoría y la cura, por lo que se impone la realización de un correcto y exhaustivo examen físico, de lo que se deriva también la prevención de complicaciones a corto, mediano y largo plazo(AU)


Introduction: Cavernous hemangioma is one of the most frequent benign neoplasms in childhood. Objective: To describe the case of a cavernous hemangioma at pediatric age. Clinical case: A 6-month-old female infant of urban origin was born at Hospital Materno Fe del Valle Ramos, Manzanillo Municipality, Granma Province. At birth, a violaceous erythematous plaque-like infiltrated lesion was observed, of approximately 10 cm, with a defined border, smooth surface, increased temperature at hand contact, extending from the anterior and posterior medial part to the upper leg of the left lower limb. It was decided to do an interconsultation with the angiology service, which diagnosed the lesion as a cavernous hemangioma. Conclusions: Cavernous hemangioma was corroborated to be a frequent entity in childhood, whose timely diagnosis and treatment are highly beneficial for improvement and cure, so it extremely necessary to carry out a correct and exhaustive physical examination, also deriving the prevention of complications in the short, medium and long terms(AU)

ABSTRACT

El hemangioma cavernoso, conocido también como hemangioma profundo, es una neoplasia benigna de los vasos sanguíneos, que se caracteriza por la presencia de un gran número de vasos normales y anormales sobre la piel u otros órganos internos. Su desarrollo de forma intraneural en nervio periférico es muy raro, con menos de 50 casos informados en la literatura. Presentamos un caso de un hemangioma cavernoso del nervio sural medial en una paciente con clínica de dolor severo y alodinia con resolución completa de la sintomatología tras su tratamiento mediante microcirugía (AU)


Cavernous hemangiomas, also known as deep hemangiomas are benign tumors of blood vessels, including normal and abnormal vascular structures, that develop in skin tissue and sometimes even in deep tissues. Its intraneural development in the peripheral nerve is very rare with less than 50 cases reported in the literature. We present a case of a cavernous hemangioma of the medial sural nerve in a patient with symptoms of severe pain and allodynia with complete resolution of symptoms with microsurgery (AU)

ABSTRACT

In the field of vascular anomalies, distinguishing between vascular malformations and tumors has become crucial for a correct therapeutic approach. However, the differential diagnosis between these two groups is not always well explained in classical texts, mainly because many vascular malformations are still known with old names that suggest a tumoral nature. Also, genetic and pathogenic knowledge of these entities has greatly increased in recent decades, so researchers and clinicians now have a better understanding of vascular malformations. In this paper, we present the main histopathological tips to recognize and identify a vascular malformation as such. We also contextualize such information in the clinical and pathogenic knowledge for a better understanding of these entities (AU)

ABSTRACT

El cavernoma cerebral es una malformación vascular de diagnóstico infrecuente. Se define como una malformación a nivel de la vasculatura microcerebral que, dependiendo a la ubicación y si existe la posibilidad de ruptura, conlleva a una emergencia que puede terminar en la muerte del paciente. En esta oportunidad se reporta el caso de un paciente con cavernoma cerebral asociado al síndrome de Evans. Se decide manejo quirúrgico de la lesión por aumento de intensidad de cefalea e intolerancia oral. Dada la coexistencia del Síndrome de Evans y la alta tasa de morbimortalidad es que se decide manejo quirúrgico mediante radiocirugía estereotáxica con gamma knife. El uso de dosis de margen bajo para tratamiento con gamma knife para uso en cavernomas cerebrales produce un manejo controlado para sintomatología de convulsiones y mejor expectativa de calidad de vida.


Cerebral cavernoma is an infrequently diagnosed vascular malformation. It is defined as a malformation at the level of the microcerebral vasculature that, depending on the location and if there is a possibility of rupture, leads to an emergency that can end in the death of the patient. On this occasion, we report a case of a patient with cerebral cavernoma associated with Evans syndrome. Surgical management of the lesion was decided due to increased intensity of headache and oral intolerance. Given the coexistence of Evans Syndrome and the high rate of morbidity and mortality, surgical management was decided by stereotaxic radiosurgery with a gamma knife. The use of low-margin doses for treatment with gamma knife for use in brain cavernomas produces controlled management for seizure symptoms and better quality of life expectancy.

ABSTRACT

Los hemangiomas hepáticos se consideran las lesiones benignas hepáticas más comunes. Se de-nominan hemangiomas gigantes cuando su diámetro supera los 5 cm. La etiología es poco clara y su mayor prevalencia se ubica en mujeres de mediana edad. A continuación, se presenta el caso de una paciente de 73 años con dispepsia tipo distrés postprandial. La paciente acudió a consulta donde se documentó una masa heterogénea en segmentos hepáticos VI y VII con componente exofítico, realce periférico y llenado centrípeto en fases tardías. Recibió manejo sintomático con buena respuesta clínica y continúa en seguimiento. La presentación de este caso clínico obedece a que el hemangioma hepático es diagnosticado, por lo general, de forma incidental por imágenes abdominales realizadas desde un enfoque distinto en el paciente, y por las numerosas consultas al servicio de salud por síntomas diferentes a los directamente relacionados con el hemangioma hepá-tico. Adicionalmente, puede generar complicaciones asociadas al efecto de masa, y su prevalencia dentro de las lesiones hepáticas benignas es considerable


Hepatic hemangiomas are the most common benign tumors of the liver. They are called giant he-mangiomas when their diameter exceeds 5 cm. The pathophysiology is unclear, and middle-aged women have the highest prevalence. The case of a 73-year-old woman with dyspepsia postprandial distress syndrome is presented. The patient had a heterogeneous mass in the liver segments VI and VII with an exophytic component, peripheral enhancement, and centripetal filling in late phases. The patient received symptomatic treatment with adequate clinical response and continues in observa-tion. The presentation of this clinical report is due to the fact that hepatic hemangioma is generally diagnosed incidentally by abdominal imaging performed from a different approach, and to the numerous visits to the health service due to symptoms other than those directly related to hepatic hemangioma. Additionally, it can involve mass-related complications, and the prevalence within benign liver lesions is substantial.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Introducción: Los tumores de partes blandas son un grupo heterogéneo de lesiones tanto benignas como malignas. El origen histológico es diverso y entre ellos se encuentra el vascular como el hemangioma. Objetivo: Conocer un paciente con hemangioma cavernoso de partes blandas del pie derecho. Caso clínico: Paciente masculino de 21 años de edad, blanco sin antecedentes mórbidos de salud, acude a la consulta externa de Ortopedia y Traumatología por presentar una bola a nivel de la planta del pie derecho acompañada de dolor. Apareció hace dos años, pero ha incrementado su tamaño de forma rápida en los últimos tres meses. Mediante la exploración física se observó la tumoración en la cara plantar e interna del pie derecho, de consistencia dura, fija, mayor a 8 cm, de bordes irregulares y pobremente definidos con aumento de la temperatura local. Se realizaron exámenes complementarios imagenológicos y hematológicos. Al analizar el resultado de la exploración física y los complementarios se decidió la intervención quirúrgica consistente en la resección de la tumoración. Conclusiones: El hemangioma cavernoso es una enfermedad que afecta por lo general a niños y adolescentes sin predilección por el sexo, sus síntomas y signos más encontrados son el aumento de volumen y el dolor. El tratamiento consiste en la resección del tumor a través de un margen de seguridad y su principal complicación es la recidiva.


ABSTRACT Introduction: Soft tissue tumors are a heterogeneous group of both benign and malignant lesions. The histological origin is diverse and among them is the vascular one such as hemangioma. Objective: To present a patient with a soft tissue cavernous hemangioma of the right foot. Case report: A 21-year-old white male, without morbid antecedents, attended at the Orthopedics and Traumatology outpatient clinic for presenting a ball at the level of the sole of the right foot accompanied by pain. It appeared two years ago, but has grown rapidly in size in the last three months. The physical examination revealed that the tumor was on the plantar and inner side of the right foot, it was of a hard, fixed consistency, greater than eight centimeters, with irregular and poorly defined edges, with an increase in local temperature. Complementary imaging and hematological examinations were performed. Upon analyzing the results of the physical examination and the complementary ones, a surgical intervention consisting of resection of the tumor was decided. Conclusions: Cavernous hemangioma is an entity that generally affects children and adolescents without predilection for sex, its most common symptoms and signs are increased volume and pain. Treatment consists of resection of the tumor through a safety margin and its main complication is recurrence.

ABSTRACT

Diffuse cavernous hemangioma (DCH) is a rare benign vascular lesion. The rectosigmoid colon is the most common site of this disease. It affects mainly young adults. The most frequent symptom is chronic rectal bleeding which is painless, often begins in the infancy and sometimes is uncontrollable. Endoscopy is the diagnose method of choice and complete surgical excision with sphincter-saving procedure is the primary mode of treatment. A high index of suspicion and a correct diagnose is necessary. We present a 34-year-old male with a DCH of the rectum and anus who required an APR because of affection of dentate line.


El hemangioma cavernoso difuso (HCD) es un tumor vascular benigno raro. Su localización más habitual es el rectosigma. Se presenta en adultos jóvenes como rectorragia indolora y recurrente, que suele aparecer en la infancia y puede llegar a ser incontrolable. La endoscopia digestiva es el método diagnostico de elección. El único tratamiento eficaz consiste en la resección completa siendo deseable la realización de una técnica con conservación esfinteriana. Un alto índice de sospecha y un correcto diagnóstico son necesarios. Presentamos el caso de un varón de 34 años con un HCD del anorecto que requirió una resección abdominoperineal.

ABSTRACT

Resumen Las malformaciones venosas son lesiones vasculares benignas infrecuentes que se presentan en el útero. Están conformadas por venas anormales, de diferentes tamaños y proporciones, con configuración espongiforme y disposición al azar. En la literatura, han sido previamente reportados algunos casos, usando el término "hemangioma cavernoso", pero según los cambios recientes en la terminología, aprobados por Sociedad Internacional para el Estudio de las Anormalidades Vasculares (ISSVA), se desaconseja el uso de este término y se sugiere el de "Malformación venosa", si se cumplen los hallazgos histopatológicos al momento de hacer el diagnóstico. Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 44 años, con cuadro de hemorragia vaginal anormal y diagnóstico clínico de miomatosis y mioma abortado por el orificio cervical interno, el estudio histopatológico reveló la presencia de una malformación venosa que comprometía el miometrio y endometrio, con formación subsecuente de un pólipo.


Abstract Venous malformations are benign vascular lesions that rarely appear in the uterus. They are made up of abnormal veins, of different sizes and proportions, with spongiform configuration and random disposition. In the literature, some cases have been previously reported, using the term "cavernous hemangioma", but according to recent changes in terminology, approved by the International Society for the Study of Vascular Abnormalities (ISSVA), the use of this term is discouraged, and the diagnosis of Venous malformation is suggested, if the histopathological findings are met. We present the case of a 44-year-old woman, with abnormal vaginal bleeding and a clinical diagnosis of myomatosis and myoma aborted by the internal cervical orifice, in whom the histopathological study revealed the presence of a venous malformation that compromised the myometrium and endometrium, with subsequent formation of a polyp.

ABSTRACT

El hemangioma de colon y recto es una entidad poco frecuente. El tipo cavernoso, es aún más raro por lo que existen pocos reportes de esta patología. Afecta mayormente al recto y al sigmoides, y el modo de presentación más común es la proctorragia indolora en el 90% de los casos. Más frecuente en adultos jóvenes. Esta entidad para su diagnóstico requiere alta sospecha y la realización de los estudios pertinentes ya que suele confundírsela con patologías más comunes. En esta revisión se presenta el caso de un paciente masculino de 58 años con un hemangioma cavernoso de colon transverso que se manifestó inicialmente como hematoquecia asociada a astenia. Luego de realizar estudios complementarios, se decide conducta quirúrgica. Se realizó resección de colon transverso con buena evolución postoperatoria. El resultado de anatomía patológica nos informa Hemangioma Cavernoso de colon transverso.


The hemangioma of the colon and rectum is a rare entity. The cavernous type is even more rare, so there are few reports of this pathology. It mainly affects the rectum and the sigmoid, and the most common presentation is painless proctorrhagia in 90% of cases. More frequent in young adults. This entity for its diagnosis requires high suspicion and the realization of the pertinent studies since it is usually confused with more common pathologies. In this review we present the case of a 58-year-old male patient with a cavernous hemangioma of the transverse colon that initially manifested as hematochezia associated with asthenia. After performing complementary studies, surgical behavior is decided. Transverse colon resection was performed with good postoperative evolution. The result of pathological anatomy informs us Cavernous hemangioma of transverse colon

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Presentar los resultados de tratamiento quirúrgico obtenidos en una serie de 14 casos de malformación cavernosa, situadas en diferentes localizaciones encefálicas, además de realizar una revisión bibliográfica sobre el tema. Material y métodos: En el periodo de los años 2014-2019, se diagnosticaron y protocolizaron 14 pacientes por medio de la consulta externa de neurocirugía del Hospital Juárez de México. Todos menos 2, fueron intervenidos quirúrgicamente. Resultados: En 12 de los 14 casos que recibieron tratamiento quirúrgico, se documentó mejoría neurológica posterior a la resección total en 10 pacientes, 1 paciente de cavernoma gigante temporal se hizo resección subtotal, en 1 paciente con lesión de localización protuberancial se le realizó únicamente drenaje de hematoma. El déficit preoperatorio tendió a mejorar progresivamente en las lesiones de mayor tamaño y en ningún caso se documentaron complicaciones, las crisis convulsivas se controlaron disminuyendo progresivamente la dosis de fármacos anticonvulsivantes en el periodo postquirúrgico de este grupo de pacientes. Y dos pacientes, uno con lesión mesencefálica y el otro con cavernomatosis solo se sometieron a observación. Conclusiones: La cirugía es el método de elección hoy en día para el tratamiento de las malformaciones cavernosas, siendo los mejores resultados a menor tamaño de la lesión y con localizaciones más superficiales. Los resultados quirúrgicos de nuestros pacientes son similares a lo reportado en la literatura mundial.


Objectives: To present the surgical outcomes obtained in a series of 14 cases of cavernous malformation, located in different brain locations, in addition to conducting a literature review on the subject. Method: Between the years, 2014 and 2019, 14 cases were diagnosed and protocolized in neurosurgery department of Hospital Juárez of México. All patients except two, were surgically treated. Results: In 12 of the 14 cases received surgical treatment, neurological improvement was documented after the total resection in ten patients, one patient with giant temporal cavernoma performed a subtotal resection, other case with a lesion in the pontine location a hematoma drainage was performed. All surgical patients the preoperative clinical deficit tended to improve progressively in larger lesions and no complications were documented. Seizures were controlled by gradually decreasing the dose of anticonvulsant drugs in the post-surgical period of this group of patients. And two patients, one with mesencephalic lesion and another with cavernomatosis, were only observe. Conclusion: Surgery is the method of choice today for the treatment of cavernous malformations, with the best outcome being the smallest size of the lesion and with more superficial locations. The surgical outcomes in our patients are similar to those reported in the world literature

ABSTRACT

Los hemangiomas hepáticos, también denominados hemangiomas cavernomatosos, son los tumores hepáticos más comunes. Se caracterizan por ser lesiones solitarias, pequeñas y benignas que se diagnostican frecuentemente de forma incidental. Suelen ser lesiones asintomáticas, si bien los síntomas se presentan más frecuentemente en aquellas lesiones mayores de 5 cm, también conocidas como hemangiomas gigantes. Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 43 años, pauci-asintomática que presenta un hemangioma gigante de 16x16x27 cm, así como se realiza una revisión sistemática de la literatura.


Hepatic hemangiomas, also referred to as cavernous hemangiomas, are the most common benign mesenchymal hepatic tumors. They are often solitary, small lesions that have an excellent safety-prognosis and were commonly incidentally detected. Hepatic hemangiomas are frequently asymptomatic, although symptoms are more likely in those lesions larger than 5 cm also referred to as giant hemangiomas. We present a case of a pauci-asymptomatic 43 year-old woman with an uncommon 16x16x27 cm giant hemangioma and perform a review of the literature.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Los hemangiomas son uno de los tumores más frecuentes en cabeza y cuello. Los hemangiomas de laringe se pueden dividir clínicamente en formas infantiles y adultas. En niños es una patología frecuente, mientras que en adultos es muy infrecuente. En adultos, tiene mayor incidencia en hombres y su ubicación más frecuente es supraglótica. Su histología más frecuente es el hemangioma cavernoso (HC), que corresponde a una malformación de origen venoso, con paredes delgadas y vasos dilatados. La presentación más habitual es con disfonía o ronquera de meses o años de evolución y se sospecha mediante la nasofaringolaringoscopía o el estudio de imágenes (TC y/o RM). Existen distintas formas de tratamiento, incluidas la observación, la corticoterapia, la radioterapia, la cirugía láser, la cirugía abierta, etc., sin existir un consenso sobre la mejor opción. Se presenta el caso de un paciente de 43 años con antecedentes de tabaquismo que consultó por una historia de disfonía de un año de evolución. Se diagnosticó mediante nasofaringolaringoscopía y TC de cuello una gran masa supraglótica que se extirpó mediante un abordaje de laringofisura. La biopsia diferida informó un HC.


ABSTRACT Hemangiomas are one of the most frequent head and neck tumors. Clinically, they can be divided into childish and adult forms. In children it is a frequent pathology, whereas in adults it is very rare. In adults, it has a higher incidence in men and its more frequent location is supraglottic. Its most frequent histology is the cavernous hemangioma, which corresponds to a malformation of venous origin, with thin walls and dilated vessels. The most common presentation is with the disphony or hoarseness lasting from months to years of evolution and suspicion is made through nasofibroscopy or the imaging study (CT and / or MRI). There are different forms of treatment, including observation, corticotherapy, radiotherapy, laser surgery, open surgery, etc., without a consensus on the best option. We present the case of a 43 year old male with a history of smoking who consulted for dysphonia of a year of evolution. A large supraglottic mass was diagnosed through nasofibroscopy and CT of the neck, which is removed by a laryngopharyngeal approach. Deferred biopsy reported a cavernous hemangioma.

ABSTRACT

Resumen Se realizó un estudio descriptivo tipo reporte de caso de un paciente valorado por el servicio de gastroenterología en la Clínica Nuestra en la ciudad de Cali, por sospecha de sangrado digestivo oculto cuyos estudios previos no habían mostrado causa de sangrado. Se realizó videocápsula endoscópica (MiroCam®) con un hallazgo positivo de lesión en el intestino delgado. Se llevó a enteroscopia en Clínica Farallones de la Ciudad de Cali con enteroscopio Olympus 180 Q que confirmó el hallazgo. Ulteriormente, se llevó a cirugía, en la que se confirmó el diagnóstico. Los datos y las fotografías se obtuvieron en bases de datos de los servicios de endoscopia y las fotos de patología se obtuvieron del registro del médico patólogo. Finalmente, se realizó una búsqueda en PubMed sobre literatura existente de historia clínica y reportes de casos similares.


Abstract This is a descriptive study based on the case report of a patient suspected of occult gastrointestinal bleeding who was evaluated by the gastroenterology service in Clínica Nuestra in Cali. Previous studies had not shown cause of bleeding. Video endoscopy (Mirocam) found a lesion in the small intestine. Enteroscopy at performed at Clínica Farallones in Cali with an Olympus 180 Q enteroscope confirmed the finding. Surgery further confirmed the diagnosis. Data and photographs were obtained from the database of endoscopy services and the pathology photos were obtained from the pathologist's registry. A literature review based on a Pubmed search of the existing literature on clinical histories and reports of similar cases is included.

ABSTRACT

The objective of this research was to identify clinically significant changes in cognitive functions in three adolescents who underwent surgery for resection of a focal vascular lesion in the frontal lobe. Cognitive functions, executive function, behavior regulation, emotion regulation, and social abilities were assessed prior to surgery, six and 24 months post-discharge. Significant clinical changes were observed during all the assessments. Cognitive changes after surgery are not homogeneous. Most of the significant clinical changes were improvements. Especially the significant clinical changes presented in EF domains were only improvements; these results suggest that EF were affected by the vascular lesion and benefitted by the surgery. After resection of a vascular lesion between 15 and 16 years of age the affected executive functions can continue the maturation process. Our results highlight the importance that assessments must include emotional aspects, even if deficits in these domains are not presented in the acute phase. Rehabilitation methods should promote the development of skills that help patients and their families to manage the emotional and behavioral changes that emerge once they are discharged from the hospital.
