RESUMO

Cystic fibrous osteitis is a complication of a very evolved hyperparathyroidism. Because the determination of calcium, parathyroid hormone and vitamin D have become routine studies, this bone complication is uncommon in western countries. However, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of hypercalcemia and lytic bone lesions. The treatment is to suppress the excess parathyroid hormone by parathyroidectomy and osteosynthesis in pathological fracture. We present the case of a female patient with primary hyperparathyroidism and a brown tumor in the right tibia.


La osteítis fibrosa quística es la complicación de un hiperparatiroidismo muy evolucionado. Debido a que la determinación del calcio, hormona paratiroides y vitamina D han pasado a ser estudios rutinarios, esta complicación ósea es infrecuente en los países occidentales. Sin embargo, debe ser considerada en el diagnóstico diferencial de hipercalcemia y lesiones óseas líticas. El tratamiento de esta entidad va dirigido a suprimir el exceso de hormona paratiroides mediante la paratiroidectomia y osteosíntesis en los casos de fracturas patológicas. Se presenta el caso de una paciente con hiperparatiroidismo primario y un tumor pardo en la tibia derecha.

RESUMO

Emphysematous cystitis is a complicated form of urinary tract infection, characterized by the presence of air inside the wall and in the light of the bladder, affecting more diabetics, elderly and immunosuppressed. The microorganisms that most frequently cause this entity are Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Its treatment is based on broad-spectrum antibiotics, bladder catheterization and partial or total cystectomy in severe cases.


La cistitis enfisematosa es una forma complicada de infección urinaria, que se caracteriza por la presencia de aire dentro de la pared y en la luz de la vejiga, que afecta más a diabéticos, ancianos e inmunosuprimidos. Los microorganismo que con mayor frecuencia causan esta entidad son Escherichia coli y Klebsiella pneumoniae. Su tratamiento se basa en antibióticos de amplio espectro, sondaje vesical y cistectomía parcial o total en los casos graves.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND Fitz-Hugh-Curtis (FHC) syndrome is a perihepatitis linked to inflammatory pelvic disease. It can be caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae or Chlamydia trachomatis infections. FHC syndrome usually presents with pain in the right hypochondrium and fever, associated with symptoms and signs of pelvic infection in women. CASE REPORT We present the case of a 22-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematous (SLE) who presented with polyarthritis, cutaneous lesions, and abdominal pain. The diagnosis of FHC syndrome was based on the findings of abdominal computerized tomography (CT) and the isolation of Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) in blood cultures. The association of arthritis and cutaneous lesions was diagnosed as a syndrome of arthritis-dermatitis, also caused by systemic NG infection. The patient had a favorable outcome with antibiotic treatment. CONCLUSIONS FHC syndrome should be considered in sexually active young patients, mainly women, with pelvic infection and perihepatitis. It may be caused by disseminated gonococcal infection. An important risk factor is the serum complement deficit, which may predispose to severe forms. Low serum complement level is a frequent manifestation of active SLE. CT images showing the typical findings of perihepatitis allow making the correct diagnosis.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND Intravascular lymphoma (IVL) is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder characterized by the proliferation of large B lymphoma cells within the lumen of small-caliber blood vessels. Clinical features are nonspecific, presenting as a systemic disease with fever and may be life-threatening. Antemortem diagnosis is difficult but may be made with biopsies of affected tissues or with random skin biopsies. CASE REPORT We report the case of a 66-year-old white woman presenting with fever of unknown origin (FUO) who developed neurologic, pulmonary, and hematologic manifestations. The diagnosis of intravascular large B cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) was made by random skin biopsies. She received treatment with steroids, rituximab, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and doxorubicin (R-CHOP). Her disease evolution was unfavorable and she died after her first cycle of chemotherapy. CONCLUSIONS Our case illustrates that IVL can present as FUO and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of this syndrome, especially in patients with neurologic compromise and persistently elevated serum lactate dehydrogenase. In this case, the diagnosis was made with cutaneous biopsies of visibly unaffected skin. As in our patient, the course of IVL is usually fatal within a few months.
