Metástasis renal de carcinoma epidermoide de pulmón. A propósito de un caso / Renal metastasis from an squamous cell carcinoma of the lung. Case report

OBJETIVO: Presentar un nuevo caso de metástasis renal de un carcinoma epidermoide de pulmón. MÉTODOS: Varón de 60 años remitido a consultas externas de urología por hallazgo ecográfico de una masa renal en estudio por microhematuria. RESULTADOS: Los estudios de imagen evidenciaron la presencia de una tumoración sólida en polo superior que se introducía hacia el seno renal, originando un atrapamiento de la arteria renal. El TC planteó el diagnóstico diferencial entre un carcinoma de células renales, un urotelioma o un proceso metastático. CONCLUSIONES: El cáncer de pulmón puede producir metástasis en cualquier órgano, pero el riñón no es uno de los órganos de asentamiento más frecuentes, sin embargo, la existencia de dos o más metástasis extratorácicas confieren un pobre pronóstico a esta patología (AU)

OBJECTIVE: To report a new case of renal metastasis from an squamous cell carcinoma of the lung. METHODS: A 60 year old male presented to the outpatient office with an ultrasound finding of renal mass. RESULTS: Imaging test studies showed a heterogeneous mass in the upper pole of the left kidney, involving the pelvis and trapping the renal artery. CONCLUSIONS: Clinically recognised or symptomatic metastases to the kidney from pulmonary cancer have been a rare occurrence. Nevertheless, prognosis associated with lung carcinoma metastatic to the kidney is very poor, since the likelihood of a truly solitary metastasis is remote (AU)

[Tolerability and complications of ultrasound guided prostate biopsies with intrarectal lidocaine gel]. / Tolerancia y complicaciones de las biopsias prostaticas ecodirigidas mediante el uso de un gel intrarectal con lidocaina.

OBJECTIVES: The objective of our study was to evaluate patient tolerance to transrectal ultrasound guided prostate biopsy using anesthesia with 2 grams of intrarectal lidocaine gel, and to evaluate the complications of the test. METHODS: 148 prostate biopsies with intrarectal lidocaine were performed over a four month period. The same intrarectal ultrasound transducer and needle mechanism were employed for all patients. Biopsies were performed by 7 different urologists with 6 to 12 cores per biopsy. All patients received after the biopsy a questionnaire to evaluate their tolerance to the intervention. In the same way, the urologist performing the biopsy filled a questionnaire about patient tolerance and complications of the test. RESULTS: Patient tolerance data were recorded in 147 biopsies. Twenty-five cases (16.9%) referred severe or unbearable pain, 45 patients (13.4%) referred no pain at all. A significant association between patients' and doctors' results was obtained. Digital rectal examination was painful in 10 cases only; transducer insertion was painful in 13, and 15 referred pain with the transducer movements inside the rectum. Almost all painful or unbearable core biopsies were taken in the apex. There was a significant association (p = 0.005) between the number of cores per biopsy and pain, being the pain more than expected when the number of cores was greater than six. Only 14 patients would not ever repeat the same biopsy or would request a different type of anesthesia and 133 (59.9%) of them would repeat it in the same way. CONCLUSIONS: In our experience, transrectal ultrasound guided prostatic biopsy is generally well tolerated with intrarectal gel as the only anesthesia. Nevertheless, the number of cores taken per biopsy has been the factor associated with pain, and if the number of biopsy cores increases additional anesthesia should be considered.

Secondary testicular plasmocytoma.

OBJECTIVE: [corrected] To report a rare case of secondary testicular plasmocytoma in the context of a testicular mass. METHOD: We introduced a patient with plasmocytoma and a testicular infiltration of his systemic affection. RESULT: An inguinal orquiectomy was performed to treat the testicular infiltration and no recurrence of the process was seen after 6 months of follow up. CONCLUSIONS: Plasmacytoma is a plasma cell tumor that involves bone marrow or extramedullary sites. Testicular infiltration by plasma cells such as plasmacytoma happens in only 2% of cases of all plasma cell neoplasm

Tolerancia y complicaciones de las biopsias prostaticas ecodirigidas mediante el uso de un gel intrarectal con lidocaina / Tolerability and complications of ultrasound guided prostate biopsies with intrarectal lidocaine gel

Objetivo: El objetivo de nuestro estudio, fue valorar la tolerancia por parte del paciente a una biopsia de próstata transrectal ecodirigida usando como método anestésico un gel con 2 gramos de lidocaina intrarectal, así como valorar las complicaciones de esta prueba. Método: Durante 4 meses consecutivos se realizaron 148 biopsias de próstata ecodirigidas usando 2 gramos de lidocaina intrarectal. Se usó el mismo transductor ecográfico transrectal en todos los pacientes, usándose también el mismo mecanismo de aguja para la obtención de los cilindros. Las biopsias fueron realizadas por 7 urólogos diferentes obteniéndose en cada biopsia entre 6 y 12 cilindros. A todos los pacientes se les entregó tras la prueba un cuestionario para valorar la tolerancia a este método. Así mismo, el médico que realizó las biopsias rellenaba un cuestionario a cerca del paciente en el que valoraba la tolerancia del paciente y las complicaciones tras la prueba. Resultados: Se recogieron los datos de tolerancia en 147 casos, existiendo dolor intenso o insoportable globalmente en 25 casos (16,9 %) y nada molesto en 45 pacientes (30,4 %). Se evidenció una asociación significativa entre el resultado del cuestionario del paciente y la percepción del médico que realizó la prueba. Sólo en 10 casos el tacto rectal fue doloroso, en 13 el paso del transductor y en 15 los movimientos del mismo en el recto. Prácticamente todos los cilindros que resultaron dolorosos o insoportables en la toma de muestras fueron los recogidos de la zona del ápex. Se encontró una asociación significativa (p=0,005) entre el número de cilindros y el dolor durante la obtención de los mismos, siendo mayor de lo esperado el dolor cuando se realizaron biopsias por encima de las sextantes. Sólo 14 pacientes no realizarían nuevamente la misma prueba o requerirían otro tipo de anestesia y el 89,9 % (133), volverían a realizarla en las mismas condiciones. Conclusiones: En nuestra experiencia la biopsia prostática ecodirigida es generalmente bien tolerada empleando únicamente un gel anestésico intrarectal. No obstante, el número de punciones durante la biopsia ha sido el factor asociado al dolor de la prueba y al incrementarse aquel debería plantearse el empleo de algún tipo adicional de anestesia (AU)

[Giant intertesticular epidermoid cyst]. / Quiste epidermoide gigante intertesticular.

OBJECTIVE: To report a rare case of a giant epidermoid cyst in an intertesticular localization, analyzing its histological and pathologic features, and to perform a bibliographic review. METHODS/RESULTS: We report the case of a 49-year-old male consulting for a slowly growing intra-scrotal mass of five years of evolution causing discomfort because of its size. After excision the pathology report showed the presence of a keratoid epidermoid cyst very big in size. CONCLUSIONS: Superficial scrotal epidermoid cysts are frequent in clinical practice; that is not the case of the so-called "intra scrotal inclusion cysts". Epidermoid cysts are firm, mobile, slowly growing, generally asymptomatic intra epidermal neoformations. There are descriptions in multiple sites, even the genitalia, nevertheless their size in this location does not usually pass 5 cm.

Quiste epidermoide gigante intertesticular / Giant intertesticular epidermoid cyst

OBJETIVO: Añadir a la literatura un caso clínico poco frecuente de quiste epidermoide gigante de localización intertesticular, analizando las características histológicas y patológicas del mismo y realizando una revisión de la literatura al respecto. MÉTODOS/RESULTADOS: Presentamos el caso de un varón de 49 años que consultó por bultoma intraescrotal de 5 años de evolución y lento crecimiento que le ocasionaba molestias por su gran tamaño. Tras exéresis del mismo, el resultado anatomopatológico de la muestra evidenció la presencia de un quiste epidermoide queratinoso de gran tamaño. CONCLUSIONES: Los quistes epidérmicos escrotales superficiales son de frecuente aparición en la práctica clínica, no así los denominados “de inclusión” intraescrotales. Los Quistes Epidermoides son neoformaciones intraepidérmicas, firmes y móviles de crecimiento lento y habitualmente asintomáticos. Están descritos en múltiples localizaciones, incluso en genitales, sin embargo el tamaño de estos a este nivel no suele superar los 5 cm
