[Occurrence of Amrineus cocofolius Flechtmann (Prostigmata: Eriophyidae) in coconut fruits (Cocos nucifera L.) in Cuba]. / Ocorrência de Amrineus cocofolius Flechtmann (Prostigmata: Eriophyidae) em frutos de coqueiro (Cocos nucifera L.) em Cuba.

The presence of the eriophyid mite, Amrineus cocofolius Flechtmann, was confirmed in association with equatorial necrotic bands on the coconut fruit epidermis, in different growth areas in the Provinces of La Habana, Granma y Guantánamo, Cuba, from February 2003 to March 2004.

A presença do ácaro eriofiídeo Amrineus cocofolius Flechtmann foi constatada em associação com bandas necróticas equatoriais na epiderme dos frutos de coqueiros, em diferentes plantações nas províncias de La Habana, Granma e Guantánamo, Cuba, de fevereiro de 2003 a março de 2004.

Obstrucción de intestino delgado por metástasis de carcinoma mamario lobulillar / Small bowel obstruction due to metastatic lobular carcinoma of the breast

Aunque los lugares más frecuentes de metástasis del cáncer de mama son el hueso, el pulmón, la pleura, el hígado, las glándulas suprarrenales y el cerebro, también pueden resultar afectados otros órganos, como el intestino delgado y el ovario, sobre todo si es del tipo lobulillar infiltrante. Se presenta 1 caso de metástasis en el intestino delgado y el ovario por carcinoma lobulillar infiltrante de mama en su variedad pleomorfa, en el que la primera manifestación de la enfermedad fue la obstrucción intestinal. En el tránsito intestinal baritado se evidenció una estenosis yeyunal y otra en el íleon terminal, en la válvula ileocecal. A pesar de que en la endoscopia se observó una formación plana en alfombra en la válvula ileocecal, la biopsia fue negativa, lo cual es bastante frecuente por la ausencia de infiltración de la mucosa intestinal. El estudio anatomopatológico e inmunohistoquímico de las piezas de resección intestinal y ovárica confirmó el diagnóstico de metástasis de un carcinoma lobulillar de mama, lo que fue corroborado con la biopsia mamaria (AU)

Although breast cancer most frequently metastasizes to the bone, lung, pleura, liver, adrenal glands and brain, it can also affect other organs such as the small bowel and ovaries, especially if the type of cancer is infiltrating and lobular. We present a case of metastases to the small bowel and ovaries from pleomorphic type infiltrating lobular breast carcinoma presenting as intestinal obstruction. Barium transit study revealed a stenosis in the jejunum and another in the terminal ileum at the ileocecal valve area. A flat formation in the area of the ileocecal valve was observed on endoscopy but the results of biopsy were negative, a fairly frequent finding due to the absence of infiltration of the intestinal mucosa. Pathological and immunohistochemical study of the intestinal and ovarian surgical specimens confirmed the diagnosis of metastases from lobular carcinoma of the breast, which was corroborated by breast biopsy (AU)
