ABSTRACT

Carcinomatosis of the bone marrow is a rare clinical condition characterized by diffuse tumor infiltration of the bone marrow accompanied by hematological abnormalities, including thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). In patients with gastric carcinoma, this association is infrequent. Below we present a case of a 19-year-old female patient with no known pathological history who presented with upper digestive tract bleeding. Upon examination, anemia and thrombocytopenia were documented, with schistocytes in the peripheral blood smear and prolonged coagulation times. Endoscopic studies indicated a lesion in the Borrmann IV gastric body, and the bone marrow biopsy showed the presence of signet ring cells. Because there was no possibility of systemic therapy, the patient died during hospitalization. This case contributes to the medical literature by describing an unusual presentation of a very frequent pathology.

ABSTRACT

Abstract A Krukenberg tumor (KT) is a rare secondary ovarian tumor which occurs in approximately 1-2% of all ovarian tumors. In most cases, it is secondary to a primary gastrointestinal tract tumor, especially of the stomach, colon or rectum 1. The mean age of women diagnosed with KT ranges from 40 to 46 years, while 35 to 45% are under 40 2. In this report, we describe the clinical case of a 23-year-old woman who consulted due to epigastric pain, adynamia, decreased appetite, and vaginal bleeding. She underwent an abdominal-pelvic CT which reported findings compatible with an anthro-pyloric cancer with signs of angiogenesis and adenopathies in the greater and lesser curvature, with a metastatic appearance, as well as solid material hanging from the pelvic visceral peritoneum, in close contact with the ovaries. Subsequently, a gastric endoscopy with biopsy was performed which reported gastric adenocarcinoma with signet ring cells, as well as peritoneal and ovarian involvement and positive CA25-5 and CA19-9 markers. She was given palliative chemotherapy, but developed a constitutional syndrome requiring treatment by internal medicine to improve her condition enough to continue chemotherapy. After approximately one month of a sluggish course, the patient died on March 15, 2021, due to bradycardia and hypotension. (Acta Med Colomb 2022; 48. DOI:https://doi.org/10.36104/amc.2023.2736).


Resumen El tumor de Krukenberg (TK) es una neoplasia ovárica secundaria poco frecuente, que se presenta aproximadamente en 1- 2% de la población de todos los tumores en ovario, en la mayoría de los casos secundario a un tumor primario del tracto gastroentérico, en particular del estómago, colon o recto 1. La edad media de las mujeres diagnosticadas con TK oscila entre 40 y 46 años, mientras que entre 35 y 45% son menores de 40 años 2. En este reporte se describe el caso clínico de una mujer de 23 años quien consulta con un cuadro de epigastralgia, adinamia, hiporexia y sangrado vaginal, quien se le realizó TC abdomino-pélvico que reportó hallazgos compatibles con neoplasia antropi-lórica con signos de angiogénesis y adenopatías en curvatura mayor y menor de aspecto metastásico en estómago, además de material solido dependiente del peritoneo visceral en pelvis, en íntimo contacto con los ovarios. Posteriormente se le realizó endoscopia gástrica con biopsia en donde se reportó adenocarcinoma gástrico con células en anillo de sello, además de compromiso peritoneal y compromiso de ovario y marcadores CA25-5 y CA19-9 positivos. Se le dio manejo de quimioterapia paliativa, sin embargo la paciente presentó un síndrome constitucional por lo que requirió manejo en el servicio de Medicina Interna, hasta estar en mejores condiciones para continuar con tratamiento de quimioterapia. Al cabo de aproximadamente un mes de evolución tórpida, el 15 de marzo de 2021 la paciente fallece previo cuadro de bradicardia e hipotensión. (Acta Med Colomb 2022; 48.

ABSTRACT

The infiltration of the bone marrow y non-hematopoietic cells is called myelophthisis. In patients with gastric cancer, this invasion is extremely infrequent and the survival is usually less than three months. We present the case of a 35-year-old man with bone marrow involvement secondary to diffuse gastric carcinoma of signet ring cells.


Se denomina mieloptisis a la infiltración de la médula ósea por células no hematopoyéticas. En pacientes con cáncer gástrico esta invasión es extremadamente infrecuente y la supervivencia suele ser menor a tres meses. Presentamos el caso de un hombre de 35 años con compromiso de la médula ósea secundario a un carcinoma gástrico difuso de células en anillo de sello.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: el Krukenberg es un tumor metastático y representa del 1 por ciento al 2 por ciento de los tumores de ovario. El estómago es en el 70 por ciento de los casos la localización primaria más frecuente, seguidos por colon, apéndice y mama. El pronóstico es desfavorable y la evolución es rápida. Objetivo: describir un caso clínico de una paciente con tumor de Krukenberg. Presentación del caso: mujer de 53 años que consulta por sangramiento posmenopáusico a tipo manchas y dolor bajo vientre. Antecedentes personales de carcinoma gástrico, litiasis vesicular, nódulo de mama e hipertensión arterial. Se realizó estudio sonográfico ginecológico con marcadores para tumor de ovario positivos. Marcadores tumorales negativos. Resultados: hallazgo transoperatorio: se observó útero miomatoso y ambos ovarios multiloculados, superficie de revestimiento lisa de contenido mucinoso, con áreas sólidas de coloración heterogénea y consistencia renitente. Se realizó histerectomía con doble anexectomía. Conclusiones: el Krukenberg, tumor metastásico de ovario, es una entidad rara con mal pronóstico luego de su diagnóstico. Aún así la resección de dicha lesión metastásica es la primera recomendación la cual parece mejorar la sobrevida, seguida de terapia sistémica paliativa.


Introduction: Krukenberg tumor is metastatic and it accounts for 1 percent to 2 percent of ovarian tumors. Stomach is the most common primary location in 70 percent of cases, followed by colon, appendix, and breast. The prognosis is poor and its evolution is rapid. Objective: to describe a case of a patient with Krukenberg tumor.Case presentation: a 53 year old woman was consulted due to menopausal bleeding in stains and lower abdomen pain. She had personal history of gastric carcinoma, gallstones, breast nodule and hypertension. Gynecologic sonographic study was performed with positive tumor markers for ovarian cancer and negative tumor markers.Results: intraoperative finding: fibroid uterus and both ovaries were loculate, smooth surface coating of mucinous content with solid areas of color and adverse heterogeneous consistency was observed. Hysterectomy with oophorectomy was performed.Conclusions: Krukenberg, metastatic ovarian tumor is a rare entity with poor prognosis after diagnosis. Still, resection of the metastatic lesion is the first recommendation which appears to improve survival, followed by palliative systemic therapy.

ABSTRACT

La presencia de "células en anillo de sello" en el tejido ovárico es el marcador histológico clásico del tumor de Krukenberg. Un adenocarcinoma metastásico altamente agresivo y de baja sobrevida. En cambio, los fibromas ováricos son tumores del estroma generalmente benignos. Presentamos un caso muy infrecuente de fibroma celular con presencia de células en anillo de sello y revisamos los criterios para el diagnóstico diferencial con el tumor de Krukenberg.


The presence of signet-ring cells in ovarian tissue is classically described as histological marker of Krukenberg tumor. It is highly aggressive metastatic adenocarcinoma with low survival. In contrast, ovarian fibroid is a stromal tumor usually benign. We present a very rare case of cellular fibroma with presence of signet-ring cells and we review the criteria for differential diagnosis of Krukenberg tumor.

ABSTRACT

El tumor de Krukenberg supone el 30-40 por ciento de los cánceres metastásicos al ovario y el 1-2 por ciento de todos los tumores malignos de ovario. En la actualidad, y pese a que el concepto de tumor de Krukenberg ha sido usado para referirse a todos los tumores metastásicos del ovario, se consideran como tal a los que tienen un origen digestivo. Su pronóstico es malo con raras supervivencias más allá del año. Se presenta un caso de una paciente femenina de 38 años de edad, que ingresa por ascitis moderada, anorexia y pérdida de peso, a la cual se le realizó una laparotomía con el posible diagnóstico de un proceso oncoproliferativo del ovario y el diagnóstico histopatológico arrojó un tumor de Krukenberg(AU)


Krukenberg's tumor accounts for 30-40 percent of ovarian metastatic cancer and for the 1-2 percent of all ovarian malignant tumors. Nowadays and in spite of the fact that the concept of Krukenberg' tumor has been used to refer to all ovarian metastatic tumors those with a digestive origin, its prognosis if bad with only a few survivals beyond one year. This is the case of a female patient aged 38 admitted due to a moderate ascites, anorexia and lose weight undergoes laparotomy with the possible diagnosis of a oncoproliferous ovarian process and the histopathological diagnosis showed a Krukenberg's tumor(AU)

ABSTRACT

El adenocarcinoma mucinoso de pulmón con patrón de células en anillo de sello es una entidad infrecuente de diagnóstico fácil. Presentamos el caso de un paciente de 55 años con antecedente de cardiopatía isquémica y diagnóstico actual de adenocarcinoma primario pulmonar con patrón de células en anillo de sello. Es necesario descartar un origen primario extrapulmonar, principalmente de localización digestiva. Las técnicas inmunohistoquímicas son de gran utilidad a la hora de establecer diagnósticos diferenciales.


Mucinous adenocarcinoma of the lung with signet-ring cell pattern is an infrequent entity of easy diagnosis. We report the case of a 55 year-old patient with preexisting ischemic heart disease and recent diagnosis of pulmonary adenocarcinoma with signet-ring cell pattern. It is necessary discard a primary extrapulmonar location (digestive tract). Immunohistochemistry is a useful tool in the differential diagnosis.
