ABSTRACT

El síndrome carcinoide es un síndrome paraneoplásico que se presenta en tumores neuroendocrinos. Aunque es una entidad infrecuente suele ser la primera manifestación de la enfermedad. La baja incidencia junto a la presentación inespecífica genera retrasos diagnósticos importantes. Se presenta el caso de una paciente con síntomas digestivos y tuforadas que posteriormente agrega insuficiencia cardíaca, logrando mediante un ecocardiograma típico y marcadores analíticos el diagnóstico de síndrome carcinoide. Posteriormente se evidencia que su origen en un tumor neuroendocrino bronquial. Conocer las características de este síndrome es fundamental para mantener una alta sospecha clínica en pacientes con síntomas sugestivos logrando un diagnóstico precoz y adecuado.


Carcinoid syndrome is a paraneoplastic syndrome that occurs in neuroendocrine tumors. Although It is an uncommon entity, it is usually the first manifestation of the disease. The low incidence besides the non-specific presentation generates important diagnostic delays. We present the case of a patient presenting digestive symptoms and flushing that subsequently adds heart failure, achieving though a typical echocardiogram and analytical markers the diagnosis of carcinoid syndrome. Later it is discovered its origin in a bronchial neuroendocrine tumor. Knowing the characteristics of this syndrome is essential to maintain a high clinical suspicion in patients with suggestive symptoms, in order to achieve an early and adequate diagnosis.


El síndrome carcinoide é um síndrome paraneoplásico que ocorre em tumores neuroendócrinos. Embora seja uma entidade rara, geralmente é a primeira manifestação da doença. A baixa incidência, juntamente com a apresentação inespecífica, resulta em atrasos importantes no diagnóstico. Apresentamos o caso de uma paciente com sintomas digestivos e ruborização cutânea, que posteriormente desenvolve insuficiência cardíaca. O diagnóstico de síndrome carcinoide foi estabelecido por meio de um ecocardiograma característico e marcadores analíticos. Posteriormente, foi evidenciada a origem em um tumor neuroendócrino brônquico. Conhecer as características deste síndrome é fundamental para manter uma alta suspeita clínica em pacientes com sintomas sugestivos, permitindo um diagnóstico precoce e adequado.

ABSTRACT

Objetivos: Evaluar la prevalencia de consumo de tabaco y cannabis entre estudiantes de medicina, asociación entre ambos consumos y conocimiento del abordaje de los mismos. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo y analítico. Los estudiantes respondieron un cuestionario anónimo de autorreporte. Las variables fueron edad, sexo, consumo de tabaco, marihuana, frecuencia de consumo, instrucción en el abordaje de consumo de tabaco y THC y si consideran nocivo el consumo. Resultados: Consumieron tabaco en los últimos 12 meses el 29.6% y alguna vez en la vida 63.5%.Consumieron marihuana en los últimos 12 meses el 30.8% y alguna vez en la vida el 50%. Existió una asociación estadísticamente significativa entre consumo de tabaco y marihuana. Se encontró una relación estadísticamente significativa entre formación en marihuana y tabaco, y el consumo alguna vez en la vida. No se encontró relación entre formación y consumo en los últimos 12 meses, de marihuana ni tampoco de tabaco. No existió asociación estadísticamente significativa entre concepto de nocividad y consumo alguna vez. Conclusiones: A pesar del concepto de nocividad del consumo de marihuana en estudiantes de medicina es relativamente común. El consumo de tabaco podría predisponer al consumo de marihuana. Debemos insistir en la formación de los estudiantes de medicina en abordaje y manejo de los pacientes consumidores de marihuana.


Objectives: To assess the prevalence of tobacco and cannabis consumption among medical students, the association between tobacco/ cannabis use and the students' instruction in the management of tobacco/cannabis use. Materials and Methods: We conducted a descriptive, analytical study. The students answered an anonymous self-report questionnaire. The variables were: age, gender, tobacco and marijuana consumption, frequency of consumption, instruction in the management of tobacco and THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) use and whether they consider such consumption as harmful. Results: 29.6% of students consumed tobacco in the last 12 months, and 63.5% at least once in their lives. 30.8% consumed marijuana in the last 12 months, and 50% at least once in their lives. There was a statistically significant association between tobacco and marijuana consumption. We found a statistically significant relationship between the students' instruction in marijuana and tobacco and marijuana/tobacco consumption at least once in their lives. We didn't find any relationship between their instruction in marijuana and tobacco and marijuana/tobacco consumption in the last 12 months. There wasn't a statistically significant association between the concept of harmfulness and use of marijuana/tobacco at least once in their lives. Conclusions: Despite the concept of harmfulness related to the use of marijuana, it is relatively common among medical students. The use of tobacco could predispose the individual to use marijuana. We must insist on instructing medical students in how to approach and manage patients who consume marijuana.
