RESUMO
Gastroduodenal artery aneurysm is a disease with low incidence that manifests in a nonspecific form in the majority of cases, which hinders initial diagnosis. Symptomatic cases may present with abdominal pains or hemorrhage secondary to rupture. In cases in which the aneurysm ruptures, prognosis is poor and mortality can reach 40%. Steps should therefore be taken to ensure early diagnosis and treatment. Although open surgical treatment is an option, over recent years there has been a growing trend to use endovascular techniques. This report describes a rare case of a young patient with a gastroduodenal artery who was successfully treated with endovascular techniques.
RESUMO
A endometriose é caracterizada pela presença de tecido endometrial fora da cavidade uterina. Seu mecanismo fisiopatológico é pouco esclarecido, mas várias hipóteses são descritas - dentre elas a disseminação de células endometriais por via hematogênica ou linfática. A apresentação clínica é bastante variável, mas podem estar presentes massa palpável, sangramentos cíclicos ou alterações de coloração da pele na região afetada. O diagnóstico é estabelecido a partir do exame clínico, associado a exames de imagem e biópsia da lesão. O tratamento de escolha é o cirúrgico com excisão da lesão e reconstrução da anatomia local. Apresentamos um relato de caso de uma paciente de 35 anos, com endometriose umbilical, com necessidade de excisão da lesão e confecção de novo umbigo. A evolução da afecção descrita é estritamente relacionada ao manejo diagnóstico e propedêutico instituído; sendo assim, a exclusão de diagnósticos diferenciais, benignos ou malignos, é de suma importância.
Endometriosis is characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. The pathophysiology of this condition is poorly understood. However, several hypotheses have been proposed, including the spread of endometrial cells via hematogenous or lymphatic routes. The clinical presentation is variable but includes a palpable nodule, cyclic bleeding, and changes in the color of the skin in the affected region. Diagnosis is established by clinical examination combined with imaging and lesion biopsy. The treatment of choice is surgical, with excision of the lesion and tissue reconstruction. We report the case of a 35-year-old female patient with umbilical endometriosis and the need for removal of the lesion with umbilical reconstruction. The presentation of this condition determines the diagnostic and management approach. Therefore, the exclusion of other benign or malignant disorders is essential.
