Perforación de colon sigmoides por espina de pescado: tratamiento combinado laparoscópico y endoscópico / Fishbone perforation of the sigmoid colon: combined laparoscopic and endoscopic treatment

La ingestión accidental de cuerpos extraños, más frecuentemente espinas de pescado, causa perforaciones intestinales en menos del 1 % de los casos; la alta morbimortalidad asociada con estas ha favorecido la búsqueda de alternativas frente a la cirugía convencional. El caso presentado muestra cómo el abordaje combinado secuencial laparoscópico y endoscópico, permite resolver con menor grado de agresión una perforación sigmoidea por cuerpo extraño

Accidental ingestion of foreign bodies, more frequently fishbones, causes intestinal perforations in less than 1% of cases. The associated high morbidity and mortality has lead to the search for alternatives to conventional surgery. The presented case shows how sequential approach, laparoscopic and endoscopic combined, allows a sigmoid perforation by a foreign body to be solved with a lower aggressive approach

AA Amylodisis Associated with Jugular Paraganglioma as a Rare Cause of Chronic Diarrhea.

We report a case of a 64-year-old man with chronic diarrhea who was diagnosed of a systemic reactive (AA) amyloidosis associated with a jugular paraganglioma. This neoplasm was diagnosed 30 years previously and it was not removed after extensive evaluation by a multidisciplinary team. Chronic inflammatory diseases are the major cause of AA amyloidosis. However, benign tumors, such as jugular paragangliomas, are considered to be one of the tumors that can result in AA amyloidosis.
