RESUMO
Colesteatoma aural é um cisto epidermoide preenchido por material escamoso, com conteúdo queratinótico e que se desenvolve no ouvido médio. A etiopatogenia não é totalmente esclarecida, mas infere-se que seja uma rara complicação da otite crônica média ou externa. Desta forma, trata-se de uma afecção incomum e, logo, pouco relatada em cães. Os exames de imagem, em especial a tomografia computadorizada, são ferramentas importantes para a abordagem diagnóstica. No entanto, a confirmação do colesteatoma aural é dada por meio da avaliação histopatológica. A principal modalidade terapêutica para tal afecção é a remoção cirúrgica da lesão. Diante disso, o objetivo deste trabalho foi é descrever um caso de colesteatoma aural em uma cadela com histórico de otite recorrente. Os achados clínicos e da tomografia computadorizada permitiram o planejamento terapêutico e o diagnóstico. Sendo assim, foi realizada a ablação do conduto auditivo esquerdo e a osteotomia ventral da bula timpânica. A cirurgia permitiu a colheita de material para o exame histopatológico, o qual constatou colesteatoma aural. O tratamento possibilitou a remissão completa dos sinais clínicos e a resolução definitiva da otite recorrente.
Aural cholesteatoma is an epidermoid cyst filled with squamous material with keratinotic content that develops in the middle ear. The etiopathogenesis is not fully understood, but it is inferred that it is a rare complication of chronic otitis media or external. Thus, it is an uncommon condition and, therefore, little reported in dogs. Imaging tests, especially computed tomography, are important tools for the diagnostic approach. However, the confirmation of aural cholesteatoma is given through histopathological evaluation. The main therapeutic modality for this condition is the surgical removal of the lesion. Thus, this study aimed to describe a case of aural cholesteatoma in a bitch with a history of recurrent otitis. Clinical and computed tomography findings allowed for therapeutic and diagnostic planning. Therefore, the ablation of the left ear canal and the ventral osteotomy of the tympanic bulla were performed. The surgery allowed the collection of material for the histopathological examination, which determined cholesteatoma aural. The treatment allowed the complete remission of clinical signs and the definitive resolution of the recurrent otitis.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to translate the BREAST-Q© - Breast Reconstruction Expectations Module (preoperative) 2.0 into Portuguese and adapt it to the Brazilian cultural context. METHODS: Authorization for translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the questionnaire was obtained from the holders of the instrument's distribution rights. The questionnaire was translated and retro-translated. For cultural adaptation, the instrument was applied to 40 patients who had breast reconstruction surgery scheduled. Cronbach's alpha was used to assess the internal consistency. RESULTS: The mean age of the patients was 53.5 years, and the majority (72.5%) was undergoing reconstruction with implants. Good and excellent internal consistencies were observed for the Coping and Appearance expectations scales (Cronbach's alpha values of 0.878 and 0.909, respectively). For the Pain scale, the internal consistency was moderate (0.738), and it was acceptable (0.587) for the Medical team. CONCLUSION: The BREAST-Q© - Breast Reconstruction Expectations Module (preoperative) 2.0 was successfully translated and adapted to the Brazilian context.
