ABSTRACT

Los tumores estromales gastrointestinales son neoplasias que se originan en el tejido mesenquimal de la pared del tracto gastrointestinal. Se ha postulado que las células que originan estos tumores son las células intersticiales de Cajal, las cuales constituyen el marcapaso del tracto digestivo, se hallan en el plexo mientérico de Auerbach y responden al oncogén CD117, c-KIT. Pueden presentarse a cualquier edad pero tienen un pico de incidencia durante la sexta década de la vida. La localización más frecuente es en estómago. Tienen variedad de tamaños desde pocos milímetros hasta 20 cm o más. En este trabajo se presenta un paciente de 56 años de edad que fue ingresado en el centro hospitalario del territorio de Colón por presentar un cuadro de sangrado digestivo alto en forma de melena. Se le realizaron exámenes de laboratorio, estudios imagenológicos (Rx contrastado de estómago-duodeno, ultrasonido y TAC abdominal) y endoscopia digestiva superior. Se comprobó la presencia de una tumoración polipoide de 5 cm de diámetro en la región prepilórica gástrica. Fue sometido a operación quirúrgica y los resultados definitivos de Anatomía Patológica arrojaron un tumor del estroma gastrointestinal de bajo grado de malignidad (AU).


Gastrointestinal stromal tumors are neoplasias originated in the mesenchymal tissue of the gastrointestinal tract wall. It has been stated that cells originating these tumors are the Cajal´s interstitial cells, the digestive tract pacemaker, that are located in he Auerbach´s myoenteric plexus and answer to CD117, c-KIT oncogen. They may occur at any age but have an incidence peak during the sixth decade of life. The most common location is the stomach. There is a variety of sizes, from few millimeters to 20 cm or more. The case of a 56-years-old patient is presented in this work; he was admitted in the territorial hospital of Colon for presenting a high digestive bleeding in a melena form. Laboratory tests, imagine studies (contrasted Rx of stomach and duodena, abdominal ultrasound and CAT) and high digestive endoscopy were made. It was proved the presence of a 5 cm polypoid tumor in the gastric pre-pyloric region. It was surgically operated and the final results of Pathologic Anatomy showed a gastrointestinal stromal tumor of low level malignancy (AU).

ABSTRACT

Alrededor del 20 por ciento de los tumores diagnosticados en pediatría corresponden a masas intraabdominales y de ellos, el 20 por ciento son tumores malignos, por lo que un alto índice de sospecha asociado a un diagnóstico precoz pueden incidir positivamente en el pronóstico de los pacientes. El objetivo de este trabajo fue realizar una revisión actualizada de la literatura disponible sobre el estudio de una masa abdominal en pediatría, enfocado principalmente en la epidemiología y orientación diagnóstica que debería seguir el médico al enfrentarse a un paciente con este hallazgo. La forma de presentación clínica de una masa abdominal es variable. En un número importante de pacientes será de forma asintomática, lo que dificulta el diagnóstico precoz, por lo que es necesario mantener un alto índice de sospecha frente esta patología. Como herramientas para la evaluación de una masa abdominal contamos cada vez más con exámenes radiológicos, marcadores tumorales e histología, sin embargo, los exámenes deben realizarse orientados a comprobar la sospecha diagnóstica que obtengamos de una completa anamnesis y examen físico.


About 20 percent of the tumors diagnosed in pediatric patients correspond to intraabdominal masses. These can correspond to both benign and malignant pathology. Moreover, 20 percent of solid malignant tumors are located in the abdomen, so a high index of suspicion associated with an early diagnosis can positively affect the prognosis of these patients. The clinical presentation of an abdominal mass is variable. A significant number of patients will be asymptomatic, which makes early diagnosis difficult. This is why it is necessary to maintain a high index of suspicion in this pathology. As tools for the evaluation of an abdominal mass, we are increasingly counting on radiological examinations, tumor markers and histology. However, the examinations must be carried out in order to verify the diagnostic suspicion that we obtain from a complete anamnesis and physical examination. The objective of this work was to perform an updated review of the available literature on the study of abdominal mass in pediatrics, focused mainly on the epidemiology and diagnostic orientation that should be followed by the physician when confronting a patient with this finding.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Evaluar el impacto del programa Atención Domiciliaria al Enfermo Crónico (ADEC) comparado con la atención habitual (AH) a ancianos con dependencia funcional, derechohabientes del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (IMSS). MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Cohorte prospectiva a tres meses a partir del egreso hospitalario en dos hospitales de la Ciudad de México. Se ingresaron 130 ancianos con dependencia funcional, 70 insertados al programa ADEC y 60 con atención habitual. Se midió impacto en reingresos hospitalarios y calidad de vida a partir de la escala Perfil de Impacto de la Enfermedad (SIP, por sus siglas en inglés). RESULTADOS: La edad promedio de los ancianos fue de 74 años (61/103) y 60 por ciento fueron mujeres. El principal diagnóstico fue enfermedad vascular cerebral (EVC) (30.77 por ciento). El grupo de ADEC mejoró la calidad de vida en la dimensión psicosocial [46.26 (±13.85) comparado con 29.45 (±16.48) vs. 47.03 (±16.47) a 42.36 (±16.35) p<0.05 en grupo habitual]. No se presentaron diferencias en los reingresos (p>0.05). CONCLUSIONES: El programa mejoró la dimensión psicosocial de calidad de vida.


OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of the ADEC program (acronym in Spanish) as compared with the typical care provided to disabled elderly affiliated with the Mexican Institute of Social Security (IMSS). MATERIAL AND METHODS: Prospective cohort at three months after discharge from two general hospitals in Mexico City. A total of 130 patients with functional dependency were studied, 70 in the ADEC program and 60 with typical care. Impact was measured using hospital readmissions and quality of life based on the Sickness Impact Profile (SIP). RESULTS: Average age was 74 (61/103) years and 60 percent were women. The main diagnosis was cerebrovascular disease (30.77 percent). The quality of life in the psychosocial dimension improved for the ADEC group (from 46.26 (±13.85) to 29.45(±16.48) as compared with 47.03 (±16.47) to 42.36 (±16.35) for those receiving typical care (p<0.05). No differences were found regarding hospital readmissions. (p>0.05). CONCLUSIONS: HC program improved the psychosocial dimension of quality of life.

ABSTRACT

Se efectuó un estudio retrospectivo de niños operados con el diagnóstico de tumor abdominal maligno en el Hospital Roberto del Río desde 1978 a 1987. Se encontró 56 pacientes. Se excluyó las metástasis de los tumores de otras localizaciones. El análisis fue hecho según los diagnósticos anatomopatológicos, encontrándose una amplia gama de tumores, de los cuales los más frecuentes fueron los linfomas (24), tumor de Wilms (14) y rabdomiosarcomas (6). Se postula una cirugía más conservadora por tratarse de niños en que el desarrollo posterior para llevar una vida útil es importante, teniendo en cuenta además que la quimioterapia ha demostrado ser efectiva en la mayoría de estos tumores para permitir efectuar una segunda intervención e ir a la resección completa. Aunque esta casuística es escasa, se estima importante analizarla, ya que los tumores de iniciación abdominal plantean un problema para el cirujano pediatra, especialmente cuando son intervenidos de urgencia

ABSTRACT

We have clinically observed 39 patients with abdominal tumors who were admitted in Severance Hospital during the past 10 years from April 1960 to March 1970. Unfortunately follow-up study couldn't be made. The following results were obtained. 1) Of the total number observed, 25 patients were male and 14 patients female. 2) The majority of the patients, 34 (87%) were under 6 years of age and 20 (51%) were between 1 to 3 years of age. The youngest patient was a 3-month-old female with Wilms' tumor. 3) In our series, Wilms' tumor (15 cases, 38.5%) was the most common and neuroblastoma (8 cases) was next most common tumor in the abdominal cavity. In addition we found another 4 cases of neuroblastoma in other sites. We observed hepatoma (8cases), ovarian tumor (3cases), lymphosarcoma (2cases), mesenteric cyst (one case) and adenoma of the left adrenal gland (one case) in that order of frequency. 4) In 15patients with Wilms' tumor, hypertension was observed in 8 patients and hematuria in 4 patients. Compared with Wilms' tumor, no hematuria was noted in the cases with neuroblastoma and hypertension occurred in 3 of these. 5) On abdominal X-ray, calcification was present in 4 cases with neuroblastoma (50%) and was present in only one of 15 patients with Wilms' tumor. 6) Comparing the sites of metastasis between Wilms' tumor and neuroblastoma, 4 of 15 patients with Wilms' tumor had lung metastasis and 4 of 8 patients of neuroblastoma had bony metastasis. Liver metastasis was found at autopsy in one case of neuroblastoma. 7) Three cases of hepatoblastoma were under 2 years of age and three cases of hepatocarcinoma were over 12 years of age. 8) Three cases of ovarian tumor were benign cystic teratoma. Tortion of the ovarian pedicle occurred in one of 3 patients with severe low abdominal pain. All patients were discharged in good condition after salphingo-oophorectomy. 9) One case of lymphosarcoma of the ileum was associated with intussusception. 10) A one year o1d female with adenoma of the left adrenal gland had typical Cushing's syndrome.
