Corioangioma gigante placentario / Placental giant chorioangioma

El corioangioma es la tumoración benigna placentaria no trofoblástica más frecuente, aunque su incidencia es menor del 1%. En algunos casos raros superan los 4 cm, denominándose corioangiomas gigantes, y se relacionan con malos resultados perinatales debido al compromiso de flujo fetoplacentario. El diagnóstico de sospecha se realiza mediante ecografía-Doppler, siendo de utilidad la resonancia magnética nuclear. El diagnóstico definitivo es anatomopatológico. Es necesaria una vigilancia estrecha del bienestar fetal y puede precisar técnicas invasivas como la cordocentesis o la fetoscopia. Presentamos el caso de un corioangioma placentario gigante de 11 cm que fue diagnosticado a las 21 semanas de gestación (AU)

Chorioangioma is the most common non-trophoblastic placental benign tumour, although its incidence is less than 1%. Some rare tumours are larger than 4 cm, called giant choriangiomas, and are related to adverse perinatal outcomes because of the arrest of placental blood flow. Initial diagnosis is conducted with ultrasound Doppler, and magnetic resonance imaging can sometimes be useful. The definitive diagnosis is histological. Early suspicion allows more effective vigilance of foetal wellbeing and the possibility of diagnostic-therapeutic tools such as cordocentesis or foetoscopy. We present a case of a giant placental chorioangioma of 11 cm, diagnosed at 21 weeks of pregnancy (AU)

Tendinitis calcificante bilateral del tendón largo del biceps asociado a lesión SLAP / Bilateral calcifying tendinitis of the long tendon of the biceps associated with a SLAP lesion

La tendinitis calcificante es una alteración común relacionada con el depósito de cristales de hidroxiapatita cálcica que suele localizarse alrededor del hombro, especialmente en el tendón supraespinoso. La presentación clínica es variable e incluye dolor e inflamación que a menudo se resuelve espontáneamente. Presentamos un caso de un varón de 48 años con tendinitis calcificante bilateral del tendón largo del bíceps en su inserción en el tubérculo glenoideo superior que se asociaba a lesión del labrum superior y que se confirmó en la artroscopia. Los depósitos cálcicos se resecaron y se reparó la lesión del labrum superior de ambos hombros mediante sutura artroscópica (AU)

Calcifying tendinitis is a common disorder related to deposition of hidroxyapatite crystals, which is most common around the shoulder joint, involving the supraespinosus tendon. It can however, affect almost any tendon at its insertion. Clinical features are variable and include pain and inflammation that often resolves spontaneously. We present a case of bilateral calcifying tendinitis of the long head of the biceps tendon at its insertion on the superior glenoid rim associated with superior labrum antero-posterior tears (SLAP) confirmed by arthroscopy. Calcium deposits were surgically removed and the SLAP lesions were repaired (AU)
