RESUMO

PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to review the clinical and laboratory characteristics, diagnostic and treatment modalities of tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) cases managed in a single center. MATERIAL METHODS: Demographic and clinical features, biochemical findings, diagnostic procedures, treatment modalities, and outcomes of nine patients who had the diagnosis of TIO were reviewed retrospectively. RESULTS: Mean age of the study group (F/M: 4/5) was 45.8 ± 10.8 years, and mean time from the onset of symptoms to diagnosis was 4.7 ± 2.8 years. The clinical manifestations were muscle weakness and difficulty in walking (8/9), hip pain (3/9), multiple fractures (2/9), stress fracture (2/9). Mean plasma phosphorus concentration was 1.28 ± 0.4 mg/dl at presentation. We performed radionuclide imaging modalities (18F-FDG PET/CT, Ga68-DOTATATE PET/CT, octreotide scintigraphy) in seven of nine patients, and tumor was detected in all. Lower extremity (n = 6; %67), head region (n = 2; %22) and thorax (n = 1; %11) were the tumor locations of our cases. Eight patients underwent surgery and remission was achieved postoperatively in all of the operated patients and plasma phosphorus level normalized in 4 ± 2 days. Pathological examination revealed mesenchymal tumors with different subtypes. Recurrence occurred in three patients at 13 ± 10.5 months after the first surgery. Two patients were reoperated and radiotherapy was also performed in one of them. CONCLUSION: Hypophosphatemia necessitates careful evaluation for the etiology. TIO is one of the important causes of adult-onset hypophosphatemic osteomalacia. Diagnosis of TIO is essential because the laboratory and clinical findings resolve after appropriate treatment.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Clinical nutrition outpatient clinics (CNOCs) are the mainstay of the nutrition bundle in hospitals. They are important for the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of outpatients with malnutrition (MN) and sarcopenia. The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in muscle mass during the treatment of MN in patients admitted to CNOCs. METHODS: A total number of 1118 patients were included in this retrospective cohort descriptive study. Data including medical history, weight loss, anthropometric measurements, MN diagnosis (according to ESPEN definition), nutrition treatment, bioelectrical impedance analysis and laboratory examinations were noted for the first admission and the follow-up. RESULTS: This retrospective, cohort descriptive study included 1118 patients. The mean age of the participants was 54 ± 22 y (18-101 y) and half of the patients were men. Of the 1118 patients, 37,7% were ≥65 y of age. Cancer (32.2%) was the most frequent diagnosis followed by diabetes (16.7%) and dementia (11.3%). MN prevalence was 51.6%. Protein- and energy-enriched diet, oral enteral nutrition supplementation, tube enteral feeding, and parenteral nutrition were used in 42.7%, 69.6%, 11%, and 2.7% of the patients with MN, respectively. Skeletal muscle mass was significantly increased in MN, cancer, neuromuscular diseases (NMD) and patients ≥65 y of age in the first 6 mo, and could be maintained during the next 6 mo of follow-up. Patients with cancer, chronic kidney disease, and NMD and those ≥65 y of age were able to increase their body mass index. CONCLUSIONS: MN treatment and follow-up can restore muscle mass especially in patients ≥65 y of age and in those with chronic diseases. CNOCs are beneficial in the treatment and follow-up of MN.

RESUMO

Tuberculous mastitis is a rare presentation of tuberculosis, which is a major health problem in kidney transplant recipients due to its high incidence and prevalence, and difficulty in diagnosis as well as high risk of morbidity and mortality. In daily practice, physicians may frequently be led to a misdiagnosis such as breast carcinoma or abscess. We believe it is crucial for clinicians to recognize this important presentation of the disease. Therefore, we present a case of tuberculous mastitis in a kidney transplant recipient who was admitted with fever of unknown origin and successfully treated using standard anti-tuberculosis therapy without any complications.
