Tumoración inguinal: una forma de presentación de la hidatidosis ósea. A propósito de un caso / Inguinal tumor: a rare occurrence of hydatid disease. A case report

La enfermedad hidatídica ósea es una entidad infrecuente que representa el 0,5-2,5% de todas las hidatidosis. Las vértebras son los huesos más comúnmente afectados (50%) seguidos de la pelvis (25%) y de los huesos largos (15-25%). Las manifestaciones clínicas aparecen cuando existe una gran destrucción ósea o complicaciones, por lo que el diagnóstico se realiza generalmente en estadios tardíos mediante técnicas de imagen y en ocasiones de manera intraoperatoria. El tratamiento en los casos operables es la extirpación quirúrgica pudiendo asociar tratamiento medico con albendazol. Presentamos el caso de un paciente con hidatidosis ósea, localizada en la pelvis, en ausencia de afectación de otros órganos. El paciente presenta como única manifestación clínica una tumoración inguinal derecha y es intervenido quirúrgicamente ante la sospecha de una hernia inguinal complicada con el hallazgo intraoperatorio de hidatidosis pélvica

Osseous hydatid disease is an infrequent entity that represents 0.5-2.5% of all hydatidoses. The vertebrae are the most commonly affected bones (50%), followed by the pelvis (25%) and the long bones (15-25%). The clinical manifestations appear when there is large scale osseous destruction or complications, which is why the diagnosis is generally made in late stages through imaging techniques and on occasion in an intra-operational form. Treatment in operable cases is by surgical extirpation, which can be associated with medical treatment with albendazol. We present the case of a patient with osseous hydatidosis, localised in the pelvis, with an absence of other affected organs. The only clinical manifestation presented by the patient was an inguinal tumour on the right side. The patient received a clinical intervention facing the suspicion of an inguinal hernia, complicated by the intra-operational discovery of pelvic hydatidosis

[Intestinal invagination in the adult secondary to jejunal lipoma]. / Invaginación intestinal en el adulto secundaria a lipoma yeyunal.

Small bowel intussusception is an unusual pathology in the adult. Most commonly, it is secondary to intestinal wall organic disorders. A complete small bowel obstruction is the most frequent clinical presentation, which requires emergency surgery in many cases. The preoperative diagnosis is infrequent. The best treatment is surgical resection.

Hemangioma cavernoso de intestino delgado: una causa rara de obstrucción intestinal / Cavernous haemangioma of the small bowel: an uncommon cause of intestinal obstruction

El hemangioma cavernoso de intestino delgado es un tumor vascular, benigno e infrecuente, sin predilección en cuanto al sexo y más frecuente a partir de la tercera década. Su manifestación clínica más común es la anemia crónica secundaria al sangrado del hemangioma gastrointestinal, seguida de la obstrucción y perforación intestinal. El diagnóstico preoperatorio es difícil y el tratamiento de elección es la resección quirúrgica. (AU)

[Cavernous haemangioma of the small bowel: an uncommon cause of intestinal obstruction]. / Hemangioma cavernoso de intestino delgadoC una cause rara de obstrucción intestinal.

Cavernous haemangioma of the small bowel is a vascular, benign and infrequent tumour, similar in both sexes and more typical from the third decade onwards. Its most common clinical manifestation is a chronic anaemia secondary to intestinal bleeding, other causes are intestinal obstruction and perforation. Preoperational diagnosis is difficult and the treatment of choice is surgical resection.
