Seudomixoma peritoneal presentado como ascitis en paciente cirrótico / Peritoneal pseudomyxoma presenting as ascites in a patient with cirrhosis

Presentamos el caso de un paciente cirrótico con ascitis y gradiente de albúmina menor de 1,1g/dl. Tras la realización de pruebas endoscópicas, incluyendo ecoendoscopia alta con PAAF, se decide llevar a cabo una laparoscopia exploradora para esclarecer el diagnóstico, observándose mucina por toda la cavidad peritoneal y nódulos sobre el peritoneo parietal y elvisceral. Tras el estudio anatomopatológico se estableció seudomixoma peritoneal como diagnóstico. Esta infrecuente entidad, de pronóstico infausto en ausencia de tratamiento, suele generarse en tumores mucinosos apendiculares, y en segundo lugar desde tumores ováricos (AU)

We present the case of a cirrhotic patient with ascites and an albumin gradient of less than 1.1g/dl. After endoscopic tests, including upper gastrointestinal endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration, exploratory laparoscopy was performed to provide the diagnosis, revealing mucin throughout the peritoneal cavity and nodules on the parietal and visceral peritoneum. Histopathological analysis established the diagnosis as peritoneal pseudomyxoma. This uncommon entity, which has a poor prognosis without treatment, is most frequently associated with mucinous tumors of the appendix, and secondly, with tumors of the ovary (AU)

Spiradenocarcinoma of the eyelid: a case report.

A 84-year-old-woman presented a painless eyelid mass in her right eyelid. A biopsy was made and the anatomopathologic study showed a spiradenoma with malignant changes. The patient rejected any kind of treatment in spite of the prognosis of the lesion. Radiological and pathological features of this infrequent eyelid tumour are discussed.

[Atypical or bizarre leiomyoma of the scrotum. Report of one case and bibliographic review]. / Leiomioma atípico o bizarro de escro- to. Presentación de un caso y revi- sión de la literatura.

OBJECTIVES: To describe the clinicopathological characteristics of the scrotal bizarre leiomyoma in order to increase our understanding, and avoid the possibility of erroneous diagnosis and treatment. RESULTS: We report the case of a 43 year-old patient with a pendulous nodular scrotal tumour, which after microscopic study could be seen to be of smooth muscular origin, corresponding, because of its peculiar histological characteristics, to the rare variety called atypical or symplasmic bizarre leiomyoma. CONCLUSION: Although it is a form of leiomyoma which is extremely infrequently found in the scrotum, it is necessary to know it can occur and to know that we are dealing with a benign tumour that should be treated as such.
