[Synchronous malignant fibrous histiocytomas in ileal and atrial locations]. / Histiocitoma fibroso maligno de localización sincrónica ileal y auricular.

Diagnosis of malignant fibrous histiocytoma in ileal and atrial locations is uncommon and diagnosis of synchronous lesions in both locations is exceptional. We present the case of a 60-year-old woman with a malignant fibrous histiocytoma in both locations. Malignant fibrous histiocytoma is an aggressive neoplasm. Definitive diagnosis is histological. Immunochemistry helps to establish the differential diagnosis with other entities.

Calcifying odontogenic cyst associated with complex odontoma: case report and review of the literature.

We report a calcifying odontogenic cyst associated with odontoma (COCaO) and an included permanent canine in the superior maxilla, in a 19 year-old-man. The calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC) was first described as a distinct entity by Gorlin et al in 1962. The lesion is a mixed odontogenic benign tumor, and although most of the cases present cystic characteristics, a few are of the solid type (15%), and its rare malignant transformation is well documented. The COC may occur in association with other odontogenic tumors, the most common is the odontoma, occurring in about 24% of the cases. For this association the term Odontocalcifying odontogenic cyst has been suggested. Radiographically is a well defined mixed lesion and histologically consists of a large cyst. In the central area of the cyst enamel and dentin deposits can be found, irregularly distributed in areas and in other parts it takes on a well defined organoid aspect. A thorough review of literature takes place and the pathogenesis is discussed.

Acantoma de Células Claras Abdominal. Lesión infrecuente en Localización Atípica Abdominal

Introducción. El acantoma de células claras es una lesión tumoral benigna relativamente infrecuente que muestra unas características histológicas que permiten su diagnóstico. Método. Presentamos el caso de un acantoma de células claras abdominal, localización infrecuente, en un paciente de 72 años. Resultado. El diagnóstico fue establecido tras el pertinente estudio histológico pues la clínica inespecífica y la localización atípica impedían la realización de un correcto juicio clínico. Conclusiones. Pretendemos con la presentación del presente caso poner de manifiesto la histología tan peculiar de esta lesión al tiempo que, a través de una amplia revisión bibliográfica, mostramos distintas localizaciones y presentaciones atípicas de dicha entidad.(AU)

Introduction. Clear cell acanthoma is a relatively rare benign tumoral lesion showing histological features that allow diagnosis. Method. We report the case of abdominal clear cell acanthoma, unusual location in a patient of 72 years. Results. The diagnosis was established after the relevant histological study as nonspecific clinical and atypical location prevented the realization of a proper clinical trial. Conclusions. We intend with the presentation of this case highlight the peculiar histology of this lesion while, through an extensive literature review, we show different locations and atypical presentations of this entity.(AU)

[The usefulness of the filtration-adhesion method in urine cytology]. / Utilidad del método de filtración-adhesión en citología urinaria.

OBJECTIVES: To compare the cytocentrifugation cellular concentration method for urine cytology with the filtration-adhesion method, mainly evaluating their diagnostic efficacy and their inconveniences. METHODS: Voiding urine samples from 100 patients were processed by cytocentrifugation and filtration-adhesion to detect neoplastic cells. RESULTS: The filtration-adhesion method is superior to cytocentrifugation in the detection of neoplastic cells, without false positive results. The inconveniences are similar in both methods. CONCLUSIONS: The filtration-adhesion method is simple, low-cost, and more sensitive than cytocentrifugation for the detection of malignant cells.

[Infantile type renal autosomal recessive polycystic disease in two successive newborns from the same mother]. / Enfermedad renal poliquística autonómica recesiva tipo infantil en dos recien nacidos consecutivos de la misma madre.

OBJECTIVE: Renal autosomal recessive policystic disease is responsible for a great number of deaths among affected individuals (mainly prenatal and neonatal forms). METHODS: We report the necropsy studies of two successive newborns from the same mother with such disease. RESULTS: We analyze the macroscopic and microscopic characteristics of this cystic disease. CONCLUSIONS: Those children that make it through the breast-feeding period will surely suffer from the associated liver pathology.
