Introducción: El lipedema es un síndrome caracterizado por edema, acúmulo de grasa, dolor y hematomas en miembros inferiores que afecta principalmente a mujeres. Su diagnóstico actual se basa en criterios clínicos, dado que no tiene un diagnóstico de imagen de certeza. El objetivo de nuestro estudio fue describir los hallazgos linfogammagráficos observados en pacientes con lipedema. Material y método: Estudio de cohortes prospectivo de mujeres con criterios clínicos de lipedema a las que se realizó una linfogammagrafía. Dos médicos nucleares independientes describieron y clasificaron los hallazgos linfogammagráficos en diferentes grados de gravedad, en función de la migración y de la distribución del radiofármaco. Fueron incluidas 83 pacientes con una mediana de edad de 49,7años (rango: 18-80) y un índice medio de masa corporal (IMC) de 29,9kg/m2 (IC95%: 28,4-31,3). Resultados: En el 47% de las pacientes se observó alguna alteración en la linfogammagrafía, siendo en la mayoría de bajo grado (35,9%) o de grado bajo-moderado (48,7%). Ninguna presentó afectación severa (no migración del radiofármaco). El grado de afectación linfogammagráfica no presentó relación con la edad (p=0,674), ni con el signo de Stemmer (p=0,506), ni con el IMC (p=0,832). Encontramos hallazgos linfogammagráficos en todos los estadios clínicos de lipedema, sin diferencias significativas entre el grado de afectación linfogammagráfico y el estadio clínico del lipedema (p=0,142). Conclusión: Aunque la linfogammagrafía se ha empleado para diferenciar lipedema de linfedema, encontramos alteraciones frecuentes en las pacientes con lipedema, por lo que la presencia de hallazgos no descarta el diagnóstico de lipedema
Introduction: Lipedema is a syndrome that is characterised by edema, an accumulation of fat, pain and haematomas in the lower limbs that principally affects women. Diagnosis is currently based on clinical criteria, since there is no accurate diagnostic imaging for the condition. The aim of our study was to describe the lymphoscintigraphic findings in patients with lipedema. Material and method: A prospective cohort study of women with clinical criteria of lipedema who underwent lymphoscintigraphy. Two independent nuclear physicians described and classified the lymphoscintigraphy findings in different grades of severity, according to the migration and distribution of the radiopharmaceutical. Eighty three patients were included with a median age of 49.7years (range: 18-80) and a mean body mass index (BMI) of 29.9kg/m2 (95%CI: 28.4-31.3) Results: Lymphoscintigraphy showed alterations in 47% of the patients, most were low (35.9%) or low-moderate grade (48.7%). None of the patients were severely affected (no migration of the radiopharmaceutical). The degree of lymphoscintigraphic involvement bore no relation to age (P=.674), Stemmer's sign (P=.506), or BMI (P=.832). We found lymphoscintigraphy findings in all the clinical stages of lipedema, with no significant differences between the grade of lymphoscintigraphic involvement and the clinical stage of lipedema (P=.142). Conclusion: Although lymphoscintigraphy has been used to differentiate lipedema from lymphedema, we found frequent alterations in the patients with lipedema, therefore the presence of findings dues not discount a diagnosis of lip1aedema

La esplenosis se define como el autotrasplante heterotópico de tejido esplénico como resultado de una rotura del bazo por trauma o cirugía. Es una condición benigna y de hallazgo casual, aunque en ciertas ocasiones las pruebas de imagen puedan orientar a malignidad simulando tumores renales, linfomas abdominales y endometriosis, entre otros. Presentamos el caso de un varón de 42 años al que, tras un estudio por dolor abdominal, se le realiza una resonancia magnética en la que se observan múltiples adenopatías en el abdomen que pueden orientar a un síndrome linfoproliferativo. Como antecedente importante, presenta esplenectomía por trauma abdominal a los 9 años. Tras varios estudios, se decide realizar una gammagrafía con hematíes desnaturalizados marcados con tecnecio-99m que muestra múltiples depósitos patológicos distribuidos por todo el abdomen e, incluso, la pelvis, siendo este hallazgo compatible con esplenosis(AU)
Splenosis is defined as the heterotopic autotransplantation of splenic tissue because of a ruptured spleen due to trauma or surgery. It is a benign and incidental finding, although imaging tests may sometimes orient toward malignancy simulating renal tumors, abdominal lymphomas, endometriosis, among other. We report the case of a 42-year old male in whom a MRI was performed after a study due to abdominal pain. Multiple enlarged lymph nodes were observed in the abdomen, suggestive of lymphoproliferative disease. As an important background, splenectomy was carried out due to abdominal trauma at age 9. After several studies, it was decided to perform a 99mTc-labeled heat-damaged red blood cell scintigraphy that showed multiple pathological deposits distributed throughout the abdomen, and even the pelvis, being consistent with splenosis(AU)

IntroducciónEl tumor carcinoide es una rara neoplasia de origen neuroendocrino con localizaciones diversas, siendo las más frecuentes en la edad pediátrica el apéndice y el pulmón. La gammagrafía con 111In-DTPA-d-Phe1-octreótido ha supuesto un considerable avance en el diagnóstico de extensión de pacientes con tumor carcinoide. Presentamos tres pacientes pediátricos con carcinoide bronquial (CB) explorados con gammagrafía con análogos de la somatostatina (GRSS).La primera paciente (9 años) fue estudiada mediante GRSS tras cirugía por tumoración carcinoide en el lóbulo inferior derecho (LID), que objetivó resto tumoral (más evidente en el estudio tomográfico). Nuevos estudios de control con GRSS demostraron el aumento de tamaño del resto tumoral, la existencia de metástasis óseas, hepáticas y otro foco pulmonar de forma más precoz que las otras técnicas de imagen realizadas.La segunda paciente (10 años) acudió por tumoración endobronquial en el lóbulo inferior izquierdo (LII) junto con atelectasia del lóbulo superior izquierdo y enfisema del LII. Las técnicas de imagen radiológicas planteaban el diagnóstico diferencial entre tumor carcinoide endobronquial o granulomas de células plasmáticas o a cuerpo extraño. La GRSS mostró un depósito anormal de actividad en el hemitórax izquierdo compatible con tumoración carcinoide. No se visualizaron otras áreas sugestivas de metástasis. Tras la cirugía (resección endobronquial), los nuevos controles con GRSS mostraron ausencia de enfermedad.El tercer paciente (12 años) acudió tras lobectomía (lóbulo superior derecho) por CB. La GRSS no mostró áreas anormales de actividad. En un control posterior (3 meses) se visualizó un depósito de actividad en el tercio medio del hemitórax derecho, tras lo que se realizó lobectomía (LID y lóbulo medio), que objetivó pequeños restos de carcinoide neuroendocrino. Los controles posteriores fueron negativos...(AU)
IntroductionCarcinoid tumor is a rare neuroendocrine neoplasm with different locations, the most frequent ones during the pediatric age being the appendix and lung. Scintigraphy with 111In-DTPA-d-Phe1-octreotide has led to an importance advance in the diagnosis of extension in carcinoid tumor patients. We present three pediatric patients with bronchial carcinoid studied with somatostatin analogue scintigraphy (SSRS).Clinical casesThe first patient (9 years) was studied using the SSRS after surgery due to carcinoid tumor in the right lower lobe in which tumor remains was observed (this being clearer in the tomography study).The second patient (10 years) presented due to endobronchial tumor in the left lower lobe together with atelectasis of the LUL and emphysema of the LLL. Radiology imaging techniques suggested the differential diagnosis between the endobronchial carcinoid tumor or plasma cells or foreign body gramuloma. The SSRS showed an abnormal deposit of activity in the left hemithorax consisted with carcinoid tumor. No other areas suggesting metastasis were observed. After the surgery (endobronchial resection), new controls with SSRS showed absence of disease.The third patient (12 years) came after a lobectomy (RUL) due to bronchial carcinoid. The SSRS did not show any abnormal areas of activity. In the subsequent control (3 months), a deposit of activity was observed in the middle third of the right hemithorax, after which a lobectomy was performed (RLL and ML) that showed small remains of neuroendocrine carcinoid. Subsequent controls were negative.ConclusionThe SSRS has demonstrated great utility in the diagnosis, follow-up and staging of pediatric patients, carriers of neuroendocrine carcinoid tumors(AU)

BACKGROUND: The incidence and prevalence of heart failure (HF) are constantly increasing. Heart failure depends on pump failure, inflammatory tracers, and the neurohormonal system. At advanced stages, the only treatment is heart transplantation (HT). We studied myocardial innervation in patients before HT. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study included 15 patients (11 men and 4 women; age range, 18-69 years) with a diagnosis of New York Heart Association class III-IV or IV HF. Planar thoracic images were obtained, at 15 minutes and 4 hours after injection of 10 mCi of iodine 123-metaiodobenzylguanidine ((123)I-MIBG). Adrenal activity was measured quantitatively using a heart-to-mediastinum count ratio and a myocardial washout rate. Pathologic results were considered if heart-to-mediastinum count ratio was less than 1.8 and washout rate was more than 35%. RESULTS: The qualitative analysis revealed decreased (123)I-MIBG myocardial uptake in all patients. Using the quantitative scale, patients were classified into four groups, as follows: group 1, physiologic innervation, no patients; group 2, mild myocardial adrenergic involvement, one patient (6.7%); group 3, moderate myocardial adrenergic involvement, five patients (33.3%); and group 4, severe myocardial adrenergic involvement, 9 patients (60%). The washout rate was pathologic in 11 of the 15 patients (73.3%). CONCLUSIONS: Scintigraphy using (123)I-MIBG is a useful method to evaluate prognosis in patients with advanced HF and can be used to assess transplantation priorities. It will be necessary to study a larger number of patients to confirm these findings.
