RESUMO

Las hernias gigantes de Amyand son hernias inguinales excepcionales por extenderse por debajo de la mitad del muslo en posición de pie y contener al apéndice cecal. Presentamos un paciente portador de una hernia gigante de Amyand irreductible, al cual se le realiza una reparación quirúrgicas, mediante una combinada de técnicas para su resolución. El tratamiento de las hernias inguinales gigantes es todo un desafío, debido a la distorsión anatomía existente, y por la pérdida de derecho a domicilio de los órganos que puede llegar a ocasionar. Consideramos que la combinación de las técnicas de Bassini y Lichtennstein asociado a las maniobras de Ombrédanne y de Camay es una estrategia adecuada para reparar exitosamente las hernias inguinales gigantes grado I. La apendicectomía en la hernia de Amyand tipo I es una alternativa de tratamiento cuando existe riesgo de apendicitis aguda.


Giant Amyand hernias are exceptional inguinal hernias because they extend below the middle of the thigh in the standing position and contain the cecal appendix. We present a patient with an irreducible giant Amyand hernia, who underwent surgical repair, using a combination of techniques for its resolution. The treatment of giant inguinal hernias is quite a challenge, due to the existing anatomical distortion, and the loss of the right to domicile of the organs that it can cause. We consider that the combination of the Bassini and Lichtenstein techniques associated with the Ombrédanne and Camay maneuvers is an appropriate strategy to successfully repair grade I giant inguinal hernias. Appendectomy in Amyand type I hernia is a treatment alternative when a risk of acute appendicitis exists.

RESUMO

La invaginación intestinal sucede cuando un segmento del intestino se introduce en otro. La presentación apendicular es menos común, afectando principalmente a lactantes. Frecuentemente, se comprueba durante el intraoperatorio. El tratamiento es la desinvaginación, seguido de la exéresis del apéndice. De no lograrse, se prefiere la resección amplia o una hemicolectomía derecha. Se presenta en caso de una niña de 4 años que acudió por dolor abdominal, hiporexia, vómitos y sensación de alza térmica; la ecografía mostró conglomeración de asas intestinales e imagen redondeada. En cirugía se encontró invaginación apendicular que compromete el ciego, se resecó la masa hasta el inicio del colon ascendente. Se realizó una ileostomía sin fístula mucosa; el estudio anatomo-patológico informó necrosis del apéndice cecal. Tres meses después se restituyó el tránsito intestinal. La Intususcepción apendicular tiene síntomas inespecíficos. En Perú, puede llegar a ser mortal. Una historia clínica detallada con evaluación minuciosa ofrece un acertado diagnóstico y un tratamiento oportuno.


SUMMARY Intestinal invagination occurs when an intestinal segment is introduced into another segment. The appendicular presentation is less common and affects predominantly infants. The diagnosis is corroborated during the surgical intervention which consists of de-invagination followed by surgical removal of the appendix, if the latter is not possible then a wide resection or right hemicolectomy is indicated. We present the case of a 4-year-old girl who attended with a history of abdominal pain, anorexia, vomiting and fever; an abdominal ultrasound showed intestinal agglomeration and a rounded mass. The surgical findings included appendicular invagination that affected the cecum, the lesion was resected until the ascending colon. An ileostomy was performed, the anatomopathological findings indicated necrosis of the appendix. Three months later the normal intestinal transit was restored. Appendicular intussusception has non-specific symptoms and could be mortal in Peru. A detailed clinical history may help in diagnosing and offering proper treatment.

RESUMO

La diverticulitis apendicular es una enfermedad poco frecuente, con una incidencia aproximada de 1%. Se define por la presencia de divertículos verdaderos o falsos en la pared del apéndice cecal. Durante la fase aguda posee una clínica indistinguible a la apendicitis, sin embargo en ocasiones presenta características clínicas particulares que la distinguen de la apendicitis aguda, tales como la presencia de dolor abdominal insidioso o intermitente y/o ausencia de sintomatología gastrointestinal (náuseas, vómitos o anorexia). En la diverticulitis apendicular las técnicas imagenológicas son de utilidad limitada al otorgar información inespecífica, por lo que el diagnóstico tiende a realizarse mediante el estudio anatomopatológico del apéndice posterior a una intervención quirúrgica en paciente con cuadro clínico compatible con apendicitis aguda. El tratamiento de elección corresponde a la apendicectomía, lo que permite evitar complicaciones futuras como por ejemplo perforación apendicular, neoplasias, entre otros. Se obtuvieron los datos de fuentes como Pubmed y Scielo. Específicamente la búsqueda de artículos originales y de revisiones sistemáticas, preferentemente menores a 15 años de publicación en revistas científicas de alto índice de impacto, con las palabras "diverticulitis apendicular", "diverticulosis" y "complicaciones diverticulares".


Appendiceal diverticulitis is a rare disease with an incidence of approximately 1%. It is defined by the presence of true or false diverticula in the wall of the cecal appendix. During the acute phase, it has symptoms that are indistinguishable from appendicitis, however, it sometimes presents particular clinical characteristics that distinguish it from acute appendicitis, such as the presence of insidious or intermittent abdominal pain and/or the absence of gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea, vomiting, or anorexia). In appendiceal diverticulitis, imaging techniques are of limited utility as they provide non-specific information, so the diagnosis tends to be made through the pathology study of the treatment after surgery in a patient with a clinical picture compatible with acute appendicitis. The treatment of choice corresponds to appendectomy, which allows avoiding future complications such as appendiceal perforation, neoplasms, among others. Data were obtained from sources such as Pubmed and Scielo, specifically searching for original articles and systematic reviews with the words "apendicular diverticulitis", "diverticulosis" and "diverticular complications". The criteria used were articles mainly under 5 years of publication in high-impact scientific journals.

RESUMO

The objective of this systematic review is to provide efficacy and safety data in the application of Intra-Abdominal Hyperthermia Chemotherapy (HIPEC) and Cytoreductive Surgery (CRS) in patients with Peritoneal Pseudomyxoma (PMP) of origin in the cecal appendix. The databases Medline and Central Cochrane were consulted. Patients with PMP of origin in the cecal appendix, classified as low grade, high or indeterminate, submitted to HIPEC and CRS. The results were meta-analyzed using the Comprehensive Metanalysis software. Twenty-six studies were selected to support this review. For low-grade PMP outcome, 60-month risk of mortality, Disease-Free Survival (DFS), and adverse events was 28.8% (95% CI 25.9 to 32), 43% (95% CI 36.4 and 49.8), and 46.7% (95% CI 40.7 to 52.8); for high-grade PMP, 60-month risk of mortality, Disease-Free Survival (DFS) and adverse events was 55.9% (95% CI 51.9 to 59.6), 20.1% (95% CI 15.5 to 25.7) and 30% (95% CI 25.2 to 35.3); PMP indeterminate degree, 60-month risk of mortality, Disease-Free Survival (DFS) and adverse events was 32.6% (95% CI 30.5 to 34.7), 61.8% (95% CI 58.8 to 64.7) and 32.9% (95% CI 30.5 to 35.4). The authors conclude that the HIPEC technique and cytoreductive surgery can be applied to selected cases of patients with PMP of peritoneal origin with satisfactory results.

RESUMO

Resumen Balantidium coli es el único miembro de la familia Balantidiidae capaz de producir infección en seres humanos. Presentamos un caso en un hombre de 43 años que ingresa para corrección quirúrgica de hernia ventral durante la cual se realizó apendicetomía profiláctica. En el estudio histopatológico se observó apéndice cecal con arquitectura conservada, sin la presencia de apendicitis ni periapendicitis. En la luz se reconocieron estructuras grandes (aproximado de 50 μm) redondas con citoplasma amplio con vacuolas grandes, cilias periféricas y núcleos densos, los cuales correspondieron a trofozoitos de Balantidium coli.


Abstract Balantidium coli is the only member of the Balantidiiae family capable of infecting human beings. We present one in a 43 years-old male admitted for a surgical co rrection of an incisional hernia with prophylactic appendicectomy. Histopathological findings reported the cecal appendix within normal architecture, appendicitis and peri-appendicitis free. At the lumen big, rounded shape structures (aprox. 50 mm) were visible with broad cytoplasm, big vacuoles, peripheral cilia and dense nucleus, corresponding to Balantidium coli trophozoites.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Despite the great advances in diagnostic methods, the incidence of the surgical removal of a morphologically normal appendix in patients with clinical and complementary signs of acute appendicitis continues to exceed 20%. This study aimed to compare the clinical, laboratory, and ultrasound findings of inflammatory and noninflammatory appendiceal disorders diagnosed as acute appendicitis. METHODS: The medical records of 208 patients with clinical, laboratory, and ultrasound findings indicative of acute appendicitis were studied. The patients were divided into two groups: group 1 comprising 94 patients whose appendicular histological results suggested a normal appendix and group 2 comprising 114 patients with histopathological tests confirming acute appendicitis. The variables analyzed were age at the time of surgery, sex, nausea and vomiting, inappetence, fever, pain migrating to the right iliac fossa, pain on palpation of the right iliac fossa, Blumberg's sign, blood counts, ultrasound findings, and Alvarado score. RESULTS: An inflamed appendix was associated with inappetence, pain on palpation of the right iliac fossa, appendiceal diameter >6 mm, and Alvarado score >6 (p < 0.001). In contrast, fever was more frequently found in noninflammatory appendiceal disorders (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Inappetence, pain on palpation of the right iliac fossa, appendiceal diameter > 6 mm, and Alvarado score > 6 indicate an inflammatory appendiceal disease, whereas fever is more often present in noninflammatory appendiceal diseases.

RESUMO

RESUMEN Antecedente : La fibromatosis tipo desmoide es un proceso neoplásico benigno no encapsulado localmente invasivo y agresivo, que se origina de la proliferación de fibroblastos y miofibroblastos aparentemente normales. La localización más frecuente de la fibromatosis es extra-abdominal (60%), pared abdominal (25%) e intra-abdominal (8-15%), en raras ocasiones puede originarse en las vísceras (0,73%), como el páncreas, unión gastroesofágica, diafragma y apéndice. La incidencia anual de tumor desmoide se estima de 2 a 5 casos por millón. En el presente artículo, reportamos un caso de presentación inusual, originado en el apéndice cecal. Caso : Paciente de sexo femenino de 41 años con dolor pélvico agudo, que ingresa a sala de operaciones con diagnóstico clínico y ecográfico de probable tumor de ovario a pedículo torcido. En el intraoperatorio se evidenció una tumoración sólida de 15 cm de diámetro que dependía del apéndice cecal, correspondiendo el estudio anatomopatológico a tumor desmoide de apéndice cecal. Conclusiones : El tumor desmoide puede originarse en diversas localizaciones extra e intra-abdominales, siendo esta última la más rara y agresiva. El diagnóstico preoperatorio exacto es muy difícil y casi siempre los pacientes ingresan al quirófano con sospecha diagnostica de tumoración intraabdominal de etiología desconocida. Los factores de riesgos asociados a su aparición aún no se encuentran caracterizados, siendo la resección quirúrgica completa del tumor -con márgenes quirúrgicos libres (R0)- el tratamiento de elección; sin embargo, el riesgo de recurrencia es alto incluso con la remoción óptima del tumor.


ABSTRACT Background : Desmoid type fibromatosis is a benign neoplastic process non-encapsulated locally invasive and aggressive, which arises from a proliferation of bland-looking fibroblasts and myofibroblasts. The most frequent location of fibromatosis is extra- abdominal (60%), abdominal wall (25%) and intra-abdominal (8-15%), rarely can originate in the viscera (0.73%), such as the pancreas, gastroesophageal junction, diaphragm and appendix. The annual incidence of desmoid tumor is estimated at 2 to 5 cases per million. In this article, we report a case of unusual presentation, originated in the cecal appendix. Case : A 41-year-old female patient with acute pelvic pain, admitted to surgical ward with a clinical and ultrasound diagnosis of probably ovarian pedicle tumor. An explorative laparotomy revealed a solid mass of 15 cm in diameter arising from the cecal appendix, with the anatomopathological study corresponding to a desmoid tumor of the cecal appendix. Conclusions : The desmoid tumor can arise from several extra and intra-abdominal locations, the latter being the rarest and most aggressive. Accurate preoperative diagnosis is very difficult and almost always patients enter to surgery with suspected diagnosis of intraabdominal tumor of unknown etiology. The risk factors associated to its appearance are not yet characterized. The complete surgical resection of the tumor -with free surgical margins (R0)- is the treatment of choice; however, the risk of recurrence is high even with optimal tumor removal.

RESUMO

Presentamos el caso de una paciente en edad reproductiva con dolor abdominal crónico y antecedente de endometriosis pelviana. Los estudios por imágenes muestran masa en topografía apendicular. Se decidió exploración laparoscópica programada y se realizó la resección del tumor apendicular. La anatomía patológica mostró endometriosis del apéndice cecal. Posteriormente se realiza una revisión bibliográfica de esta patología y se hacen consideraciones sobre su frecuencia, presentación clínica, hallazgos intraoperatorios, forma de estudio y posibilidades terapéuticas.


We report the case of a female patient in childbearing age with chronic pain and a history of pelvic endometriosis. The image tests showed the presence of a mass at the level of the cecal appendix. The patient underwent a scheduled diagnostic laparoscopy and the appendiceal tumor was resected. The pathological examination revealed appendiceal endometriosis. We performed a review of the literature and made considerations about its prevalence, clinical presentation, interoperative findings, diagnostic tests and therapeutic management.

RESUMO

Introducción: la apendicectomía es un procedimiento ampliamente utilizado en todo el mundo, bien sea como consecuencia de signos y síntomas sugestivos de apendicitis aguda o como resección profiláctica. El estudio de la pieza quirúrgica es frecuente, a pesar de la baja incidencia de hallazgos inusuales en esta. Los tumores del apéndice cecal constituyen el 1% de todas las neoplasias intestinales, siendo los de tipo carcinoide los más frecuentes en el apéndice cecal. Objetivo: exponer el caso de un tumor carcinoide del apéndice cecal como hallazgo incidental por apendicectomía profiláctica laparoscópica en un procedimiento ginecológico. Caso clínico: paciente de 58 años de edad, con antecedente patológico de miomatosis uterina e histerectomía en 2010, que consulta por cuadro clínico de dos años de evolución de dolor pélvico crónico. Es llevada a liberación de adherencias intraperitoneales que afectan el apéndice cecal, por lo que se realiza apendicetomía, que en el análisis histopatológico identifica tumor carcinoide típico. Discusión: los tumores carcinoides son neoplasias neuroendocrinas que pueden ser identificadas en múltiples localizaciones; sin embargo, el tracto gastrointestinal es el más frecuente. El compromiso de apéndice cecal no es común y suele ser detectado incidentalmente durante apendicectomías profilácticas. La identificación de este tipo de neoplasias en un estudio de rutina modificará drásticamente el manejo del paciente, ya que dependiendo de su tamaño, extensión y localización, requerirá un manejo y seguimiento específico.


Introduction: Appendectomies are widely used all over the world when there are signs and symptoms suggestive of acute appendicitis and also for prophylactic resection. Study of the surgical specimen is frequent despite the low incidence of unusual findings. Tumors of the cecal appendix constitute 1% of all intestinal neoplasms. Among them, carcinoid tumors are the most frequent. Objective: We present a case of a carcinoid tumor of the cecal appendix found incidental to a prophylactic laparoscopic appendectomy during a gynecological procedure. Case report: A 58-year-old patient with a history of uterine myomatosis who had had a hysterectomy in 2010 consulted after two years of chronic pelvic pain. An appendectomy was performed because intraperitoneal adhesions from the surgery had affected the cecal appendix. The histopathological analysis identified a typical carcinoid tumor. Discussion: Carcinoid tumors are neuroendocrine neoplasms that can be found in various locations but which are most common in the gastrointestinal tract. Involvement of the cecal appendix is ​​not common and is usually detected incidental to prophylactic appendectomies. Identification of this type of neoplasia in a routine study drastically modifies patient management because management and follow-up depending on the tumor’s size, extent and location

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Amyand Hernia is a rare disease seen in approximately 1% of all hernias, complications of it, like acute appendicitis, or perforated appendicitis are even more rare, about 0.1%. Its diagnosis is very difficult in the pre-operative period; it is usually an incidental finding. PRESENTATION OF CASE: This paper describes the case of a forty-year-old male patient, which was presented to the outpatient clinic of surgery with an incarcerated right side inguinal hernia without any signs of ischemic complications. He was admitted, and an hernioplasty was performed, as an incidental finding we encountered an Amyand hernia treated without appendectomy and placement of a prosthetic mesh without any complications. DISCUSSION: This disease represents a very challenging diagnosis, seven years ago the standardization of management had already been established; in this case we encountered a type 1 Amyand's Hernia so we performed a standard tension free hernioplasty without complications. CONCLUSION: Amyand hernia is a rare condition, which represents two of the most common diseases a general surgeon has to face. Standardization of treatment is still ongoing and more prospective studies need to be done. This case demonstrates that this pathology must remain in the mind of the surgeons especially in the event of a strangulated hernia and offer a comprehensive review.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Appendiceal tumors are found in about 1% of appendectomies performed and 0.5% of intestinal neoplasias. Appendiceal carcinoids are the predominant histology in this group and are usually casual after appendectomy for other reasons. The prognosis is excellent and survival is 95% at 5 years after surgery. METHODS: Retrospective analysis of all patients with appendiceal carcinoid surgery in our hospital for 20 years (1990-2010) and survival at 5 years. We also discuss the need for additional treatment and testing for follow-up visits. RESULTS: 42 patients underwent surgery for appendiceal carcinoid tumor. 38 of them were operated on urgently, mostly for suspected acute appendicitis, without having reached the carcinoid tumor diagnosed preoperatively in any of them. The predominant symptomatology at admission was abdominal pain. Surgical treatment was appendectomy in 34 patients (12 laparoscopic), 7 patients required colon resections over intraoperatively by colonic involvement; only one patient required reoperation to complete right hemicolectomy. 2 patients had disseminated disease at diagnosis (liver metastases). The 5-year survival is over 95%, with no recurrence. CONCLUSIONS: The appendiceal carcinoid tumor is difficult to diagnose preoperatively. Appendectomy surgical treatment is usually sufficient, although colonic resections may be needed for dissemination. The 5-year survival is over 95%.


Antecedentes: los tumores apendiculares se encuentran en cerca de 1% de las apendicectomías y representan 0.5% de las neoplasias intestinales. El tipo de tumor más frecuente es el carcinoide apendicular, que casi siempre es un hallazgo durante la apendicectomía por otro motivo. Su pronóstico es excelente y la supervivencia es mayor de 95% a cinco años de la intervención. Objetivo: reportar una serie de casos y analizar la supervivencia media a cinco años posteriores a la identificación el tumor. Material y métodos: análisis retrospectivo (1990-2010) de pacientes con tumor carcinoide apendicular intervenidos en el servicio de Cirugía General y del Aparato Digestivo del Hospital Universitario Virgen del Rocío, Sevilla, España. Se analizaron: la supervivencia a cinco años, la necesidad de tratamiento complementario y las pruebas para seguimiento en la consulta. Resultados: se encontraron 42 pacientes intervenidos por tener un tumor carcinoide apendicular. En 38 pacientes la operación fue de urgencia, la mayoría por sospecha de apendicitis aguda, sin que en ninguno se hubiera establecido el diagnóstico de tumor carcinoide antes de la operación. El síntoma predominante al ingreso fue el dolor abdominal. El tratamiento quirúrgico fue: apendicectomía en 34 pacientes (12 por laparoscopia), en el intraoperatorio siete pacientes requirieron resecciones colónicas mayores debido a la afectación del colon; sólo uno requirió la reintervención para completar la hemicolectomía derecha. Al momento del diagnóstico dos pacientes tenían enfermedad diseminada (metástasis hepáticas). La supervivencia a cinco años fue superior a 95%, sin recidivas o tratamiento posterior de la enfermedad. Conclusiones: el tumor carcinoide apendicular difícilmente se diagnostica antes del procedimiento quirúrgico. La apendicectomía suele ser suficiente aunque en algunos pacientes las resecciones colónicas son necesarias por diseminación. La supervivencia a 5 años es superior a 95%.

RESUMO

Introducción: la antropometría y situación del apéndice cecal son parámetros inconstantes en el humano. Los conocimientos acumulados son escasos y muy limitados, provenientes, en su mayoría, de estudios en cadáveres. El objetivo de la investigación fue determinar las características biométricas y posiciones anatómicas del apéndice cecal en el vivo.Método: se realizó un estudio observacional, descriptivo, de carácter prospectivo, en un universo de 236 pacientes intervenidos quirúrgicamente, con diagnóstico de apendicitis aguda en el Hospital Clínico Quirúrgico Docente Celia Sánchez Manduley, en Manzanillo, Granma. Las vías de abordaje fueron las laparotomías paramedia derecha infraumbilical (58,47 por ciento), y de McBurney (41,53 por ciento). En el curso de la laparotomía se observó el ciego y su apéndice, realizándose la ectomía por técnica habitual, a medio centímetro de su punto de unión con el ciego, midiéndose de manera extracorpórea. Resultados: el ciego se localizó en la fosa ilíaca derecha en 184 pacientes (77,97 por ciento). El apéndice se implantó posterior a la válvula íleo-cecal en 213 casos (90,26 por ciento) con una longitud media de 9,31 cm más menos 3,37. La situación más frecuente fue la mesocelíaca (40,25 por ciento). El meso-apéndice fue triangular en 161 casos (68,22 por ciento) e insertado en el tercio medio en el 75,84 por ciento. La irrigación del apéndice fue más frecuente a través de 3 ramos arteriales (77,97 por ciento).Conclusiones: predominó la localización del ciego en la fosa iliaca derecha, la implantación posterior a la válvula íleo-cecal, la posición mesocelíaca, la longitud media fue de 9,31 cm. El meso-apéndice fue predominantemente de forma triangular, insertado en el tercio medio con 3 ramos arteriales.


Introduction: the anthropometry and location of the cecal appendix are inconstant parameters in the human being. The accumulated knowledge is scarce and very limited, mostly coming from studies in cadavers. The objective of the research was determining the biometrical characteristics and anatomical position of the cecal appendix in living persons. Method: we carried out a prospective, descriptive, observational study, in an universe of 236 surgically treated patients, with a diagnostic of acute appendicitis in the Teaching Surgical Clinical Hospital Celia Sanchez Manduley, in Manzanillo, Granma. The approaching ways were infra umbilical right paramedical laparotomies (58,47 percent) and McBurney's laparotomies (41,53 percent). In the course of the laparotomy we observed the cecum and the appendixes, carrying out the ectomy by usual technique, half centimeter before its linking point with the cecum, measuring it in an extracorporeal form.Results: the cecum was located in the right iliac fossa in 184 patients (77,97 percent). The appendix was implanted behind the ileo-cecal valve in 239 cases (90,26 percent) with a 9,31 cm plus minus 3,37 average longitude. The most frequent location was the meso-celiac one (40,25 percent). The meso-appendix was triangular in 161 cases (68,22 percent) and inserted in the medial third in 75,84 percent. The appendix irrigation was more frequent through 3 arterial branches (77,97 percent)...

RESUMO

We report two cases with ureteral lesions. A 34 years male with a residual retroperitoneal mass caused by a testicular cancer, that persisted after chemotherapy. During the surgical excision of the mass, the involvement of the right ureter was discovered. A 43 years old female with a left ureteral lesion secondary to radiation therapy and with a non-functioning contralateral kidney. In both cases a ureteral replacement with the cecal appendix was performed, without surgical complications. After five years of follow up, the urinary tract of the male patient is normal. The female patient required an endoscopic incision of the connection between the appendix and the urinary bladder, eight years after the surgical procedure. Three years after the endoscopic procedure the repaired urinary tract is in good conditions.


Objetivo: Presentar dos casos de reemplazo ureteral con apéndice cecal y revisar la literatura relacionada al tema. Material y Método: Presentamos dos casos de lesión ureteral. Un paciente de 34 años con masa retroperitoneal residual post quimioterapia englobando el uréter derecho, secundaria a un tumor testicular, y una paciente de 43 años monorrena funcional con lesión ureteral izquierda actínica. Resultados: En ambos casos se realizó un reemplazo ureteral, derecho e izquierdo, sin complicaciones intraoperatorias. El seguimiento alejado a 5 y 11 años muestra indemnidad de la vía urinaria. Conclusión: Estos 2 casos, con seguimiento prolongado, apoyan la factibilidad del uso del apéndice cecal como variante para el reemplazo ureteral en lesiones extensas.

RESUMO

El mercurio es un elemento químico metal que se ha utilizado con fines empíricos hasta la actualidad. Se presenta el caso de una mujer de 25 años, (Jaén) que ingresó por dolor en hipocondrio derecho que se irradiaba a fosa iliaca derecha. Consumió sustancia líquida ("azogue") para calmar síntomas. Despierta, hemodinámicamente estable. Murphy (+) y Mc Burney (+). Casualmente en un estudio radiológico abdominal, se observaron imágenes radioopacas puntiformes y una imagen de mayor tamaño, digitiforme tanto de pie como en decúbito. Se realizó apendicectomía profiláctica. Posteriormente se extrajo mercurio líquido del lumen apendicular. El médico debe conocer la medicina tradicional, sus propiedades y efectos adversos.(AU)


Mercury is a metal chemical element that has been used with empiric purposes up to date. A case of a 25 year old woman is presented; (Jaen) which was admitted for right upper quadrant pain that radiated to the right iliac fossa. She consumed a liquid substance ("quicksilver") to ease symptoms. Awake, hemodynamically stable. Murphy (+) and McBurney (+) Coincidentally, abdominal radiographs showed punctate radiopaque images and a larger image, digitiform both standing and lying. Prophylactic appendectomy was performed. Subsequently, liquid mercury was extracted from the appendiceal lumen. Doctors must be familiar with traditional medicine, their properties and effects(AU)

RESUMO

Introducción: Los tumores carcinoides son las neoplasias más frecuentes del apéndice cecal, se caracterizan por un crecimiento lento y curso clínico asintomático, su incidencia se calcula en 1-2 casos por cada 100,000 habitantes, se encuentran en menos del 1% de las apendicetomías y se presentan con mayor frecuencia en mujeres entre la cuarta a quinta época de la vida. Por lo general se trata de lesiones pequeñas que se diagnostican luego de la apendicetomía. Metodología El presente trabajo corresponde a una descripción de casos de tumor carcinoide del apéndice cecal, realizado en el laboratorio de patología MEGA, de la Clínica Ardila Lulle (CAL) que incluye revisión de protocolos de especímenes quirúrgicos analizados entre enero 1 de 2000 y diciembre 31 de 2010. Resultados: Durante el periodo propuesto se encuentran cuatro casos de tumor carcinoide confinado al apéndice cecal en cuatro mujeres jóvenes. Tres de las lesiones presentan patrón histológico tipo A o insular y el restante un patrón tipo B o trabecular, en todos los casos se documentó reactividad con las sales de plata con la coloración de Fontana Masson y en los cuatro se encontró positividad con el marcador neuroendocrino cromogranina. Conclusión: Los tumores carcinoides de apéndice son lesiones de origen neuroendocrino, la mayoría circunscritas a la punta del órgano y de curso clínico indolente, sin embargo algunos de estos tumores tienen un comportamiento agresivo, que depende de su tamaño y de la actividad mitótica de sus células, por lo que se recomienda incluir en la evaluación diagnostica la cromogranina y el Ki67, marcadores neuroendocrino y de proliferación celular.

Introduction: The carcinoids tumours are the most common neoplasm of the cecal appendix, are characterized by a slow growth and asymptomatic clinical course, its incidence is estimated at 1-2 cases per 100.000 inhabitants, are less than 1% of appendicectomies and occur most often in women between the fourth o fifth decade of life. Usually these are small lesions diagnosed after appendicectomy. Methodology: This work belongs to a description of cases of carcinoid tumor of cecal appendix, conduced in the MEGA anatomic pathology laboratory of Carlos Ardila Lulle Clinic (CAL), wich includes protocols review of surgical specimens analized between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2010. Results: During the proposed period are four cases of carcinoid tumor confined to the cecal appendix in four young women. Three of the lesions have the A histological type or insular pattern, and the remainder have the B histological type or trabecular pattern, in all cases documented reactivity with silver salts with Masson-Fontana stain and all four were found positive with the neuroendocrine marker chromogragin. Conclusion: The carcinoid tumors of the apenddix are lesions of neuroendocrine origen, most of them located at the tip of the organ, and having a indolent clinical course; however some of these tumors have an aggressive behavior, which depends on its size and the mitotic activity of its cells, that's the reason why the diagnostic evaluation of neuroendocrine markers like chromogranin, and Ki67 (proliferation cell index) are recommended.

RESUMO

Relata-se caso raro de adenocarcinoma primário multicêntrico sincrônico em intestino delgado, apêndice cecal e intestino grosso, em homem de 82 anos, com quadro de abdome agudo inflamatório. Foi submetido à laparotomia exploradora, observando-se lesão intestinal estenosante e infiltrativa no ângulo hepático e múltiplas aderências entre as alças do intestino delgado. Foi realizada hemicolectomia direita. O estudo anatomopatológico mostrou 12 focos de adenocarcinomas primários comprometendo intestino delgado (oito focos), válvula ileocecal, apêndice cecal e intestino grosso (cólon ascendente e transverso).


A rare case of synchronous multicenter primary adenocarcinoma in the small intestine, cecal appendix and large intestine, in an 82-year-old man with a condition of acute abdominal inflammation, is reported. He underwent exploratory laparotomy, and a stenosing and infiltrative intestinal lesion was seen in the hepatic angle, along with multiple adherences between the loops of the small intestine. Right hemicolectomy was performed. The anatomopathological evaluation showed 12 foci of primary adenocarcinomas affecting the small intestine (eight foci), ileocecal valve, cecal appendix and large intestine (ascending and transverse colon).
