[Atypical presentation of infantile digital fibromatosis]. / Fibromatosis digital infantil de presentación atípica.

Infantile digital fibromatosis is a rare benign fibro/myofibroblastic proliferation that almost only occurs on the fingers and toes. It is characterized by bright, round, intracytoplasmic, eosinophilic inclusions. We present a case of infantile digital fibromatosis in a 6-years-old child.

[Assymptomatic prostatic infiltration by chronic lymphocytic leukemia]. / Infiltración asintomática de la próstata por leucemia linfática crónica.

OBJECTIVE: Report of a case of leukemic infiltration of the prostate as an incidental CT finding. METHODS: We describe a case of a 60-year-old male suffering from chronic lymphocytic leukemia. A routine-performed CT showed multiple lymphadenopathies and an hypodense area in the left prostatic lobe. The patient was sent to our department to carry out a transrectal ultrasound and prostatic biopsy. He didn't relate any urinary symptoms. RESULTS: By the prostate rectal examination the gland felt hard and with no well defined limits. The transrectal ultrasound showed heterogene parenchyma and several hyperechoic areas by a bad circumscribed prostate. The pathological analysis reported a diffuse infiltration of the gland by chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells. CONCLUSIONS: Although the relapse of hematological tumors to the prostate has been described previously, there is no published case to our knowledge of a leukemic prostate infiltration in an assymptomatic patient as an incidental finding by an imaging procedure.

Infiltración asintomática de la próstata por leucemia linfática crónica / Assymptomatic prostatic infiltration by chronic lymphocytic leukemia

Objetivo: Presentar un caso de infiltración leucémica de la próstata como hallazgo incidental en una prueba de imagen. Métodos: Describimos el caso de un varón de 60 años en seguimiento por una leucemia linfática crónica, al que se realiza un TAC de rutina apreciando adenopatías múltiples y un nódulo hipodenso en el lóbulo prostático izquierdo. El paciente es remitido a nuestro servicio para la realización de ecografía transrectal y biopsias prostáticas. No refiere clínica urinaria. Resultados: Al tacto rectal la próstata está mal delimitada y con aumento difuso de consistencia. La ecografía transrectal muestra una glándula mal delimitada, con parénquima heterogéneo y varias áreas hiperecoicas. El informe anatomopatológico describe la infiltración difusa de la glándula por una leucemia linfática crónica. Conclusiones: Aunque la extensión de tumores hematológicos a la próstata ha sido descrita previamente, no existe en nuestro conocimiento ningún caso publicado de hallazgo incidental en una prueba de imagen de infiltración prostática por leucemia en un paciente asintomático (AU)
