Aparecimento de sinal de Leser-Trélat após o tratamento de adenocarcinoma de cólon: um relato de caso / Leser-Trélat signal appearance after treatment of a adenocarcinoma of colon: a case report

Introdução: Edmund Leser (1827-1916) e Ulysse Trélat (1827-1900) descreveram a relação entre angiomas e neoplasias. Posteriormente, consagrou-se a relação entre ceratoses seborreicas e neoplasias com o epônimo de sinal de Leser-Trélat. Este trabalha objetiva apresentar um caso de paciente que desenvolveu sinal de Leser-Trélat após o tratamento da neoplasia. Relato: Paciente feminina de 39 anos, diagnosticada com adenocarcinoma moderadamente diferenciado de cólon, foi tratada com retossigmoidectomia com anastomose primária. Após a recuperação, a paciente apresentava lesões cutâneas arredondadas e ovalares, de coloração marrom e enegrecida, predominantemente em tórax. Inicialmente planas, se tornando elevadas e aumentando de tamanho, adquirindo aspecto verrucoso, típicas de ceratoses seborreicas. Discussão: No caso apresentado, o sinal de Leser-Trélat apareceu posteriormente ao tratamento da neoplasia. Entretanto, ele pode ser a primeira manifestação paraneoplásica, indicando a existência de um tumor, predominantemente de trato gastrointestinal, embora possam ocorrer em tumores uroteliais, mamários e pulmonares. As dermatoses associadas são a papilomatose cutânea florida, tilose palmoplantar, acantose nigricans. Assim sendo, sugere-se que o paciente com sinal de Leser-Trélat deva ser exaustivamente investigado à procura de neoplasia, bem como deve ser reinvestigado após um hiato de tempo, para o diagnóstico precoce e pronto tratamento.

Introduction: Edmund Leser (1827-1916) and Ulysse Trélat (1827-1900) described the association between angiomas and neoplasms. Subsequently, the relation between seborrheic keratoses and neoplasias with the eponym of Leser-Trélat signal was consecrated. This study aims to report a case of patient who developed Leser-Trélat signal after the treatment of the neoplasia. Report: A 39-year-old female patient, diagnosed with moderately differentiated colon adenocarcinoma, was treated with rectosigmoidectomy with primary anastomosis. After the recovery, the patient had diagnosed with rounded and oval skin lesions, of brown and blackish color, predominantly in the thorax. Initially flat, becoming elevated and increasing in size, acquiring a verrucous appearance, typical of seborrheic keratoses. Discussion: On this reported case, the Leser-Trélat sign appeared after the treatment of the neoplasia. However, it may be the first paraneoplastic manifestation, indicating the existence of a tumor, predominantly of the gastrointestinal tract, although they may occur in urothelial, mammary and pulmonary tumors. The associated dermatoses are cutaneous papillomatosis florida, palmoplantar tilose, acanthosis nigricans. Therefore, it is suggested that the patient with Leser-Trélat signal should be thoroughly investigated in search of neoplasia, as well as be reinvestigated after a time gap, for early diagnosis and prompt treatment.

Segurança em cirurgia: água utilizada no centro de materiais e esterilização na higienização do material de manilaparoscopia

Desde a primeira colecistectomia, a técnica cirúrgica para este procedimento veio recebendo diversas modificações. Com o avanço dos equipamentos laparoscópicos e com o advento da minilaparoscopia, surge uma nova realidade para a realização dessa cirurgia: colecistectomia minilaparoscópica, o qual traz benefícios ao paciente. A crescente preocupação com o processo de limpeza de artigos médico-hospitalares desperta questionamentos em relação a qualidade da higienização nas instituições hospitalares. A água é um item crítico no processo de sanitização e antissepsia do instrumental cirúrgico em razão da procedência e do tipo de tratamento que a mesma é submetida. A combinação desses fatores pode danificar o aço inoxidável dos equipamentos cirúrgicos podendo manchar, reduzir sua resistência à corrosão, até o favorecimento de formação de fissuras em áreas tensionadas, acarretando rompimento do instrumental. Foi realizada uma revisão na literatura correlacionando a qualidade da água na limpeza do material minilaparoscópico e sua manutenção. Foi observado uma relação direta entre tempo de vida útil do material e, consequentemente, sua qualidade para fins cirúrgicos e a qualidade do sistema de higienização do material, sendo a água um dos fatores chave para a manutenção da qualidade e diminuição do risco de utilizar estes equipamentos. A segurança da colecistectomia minilaparoscópica tem como fator independente o tratamento empregado no material pelo Centro de Materiais de Esterilização, porém é necessário o amplo conhecimento do tipo de material envolvido e métodos de higienização para cada aparelho, individualizando o

Since the first cholecystectomy, the surgical technique for this procedure has received several modifications. With the advancement of laparoscopic equipment and the advent of minilaparoscopy, a new reality emerges for this surgery: minilaparoscopic cholecystectomy, which brings benefits to the patient. The growing concern with the cleaning process of medical-hospital articles raises questions regarding the quality of hygiene in hospital institutions. Water is a critical item in the sanitization and antisepsis process of the surgical instruments due to the origin and the type of treatment that is submitted. The combination of these factors can damage the stainless steel of the surgical equipment, which can stain, reduce its resistance to corrosion, favoring the formation of cracks in stressed areas, leading to rupture of the instruments. A literature review was carried out correlating the water quality in the cleaning of the minilaparoscopic material and its maintenance. A direct relationship between the life time of the material and, consequently, its quality for surgical purposes and the quality of the material hygiene system was observed, with water being one of the key factors for maintaining quality and reducing the risk of using these materials equipments. The safety of minilaparoscopic cholecystectomy has as an independent factor the treatment used in the material by the Center for Sterilization Materials, but it is necessary to have a thorough knowledge of the type of material involved and methods of hygiene for each appliance, individualizing the cleaning process.

Assessment of cardiovascular risk in patients with rheumatoid arthritis using the SCORE risk index.

INTRODUCTION: Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that causes systemic involvement and is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the prediction index of 10-year risk of a fatal cardiovascular disease event in female RA patients versus controls. METHODS: Case-control study with analysis of 100 female patients matched for age and gender versus 100 patients in the control group. For the prediction of 10-year risk of a fatal cardiovascular disease event, the SCORE and modified SCORE (mSCORE) risk indexes were used, as suggested by EULAR, in the subgroup with two or more of the following: duration of disease ≥10 years, RF and/or anti-CCP positivity, and extra-articular manifestations. RESULTS: The prevalence of analyzed comorbidities was similar in RA patients compared with the control group (p>0.05). The means of the SCORE risk index in RA patients and in the control group were 1.99 (SD: 1.89) and 1.56 (SD: 1.87) (p=0.06), respectively. The means of mSCORE index in RA patients and in the control group were 2.84 (SD=2.86) and 1.56 (SD=1.87) (p=0.001), respectively. By using the SCORE risk index, 11% of RA patients were classified as of high risk, and with the use of mSCORE risk index, 36% were at high risk (p<0.001). CONCLUSION: The SCORE risk index is similar in both groups, but with the application of the mSCORE index, we recognized that RA patients have a higher 10-year risk of a fatal cardiovascular disease event, and this reinforces the importance of factors inherent to the disease not measured in the SCORE risk index, but considered in mSCORE risk index.

RESUMO Introdução: Artrite reumatoide (AR) é uma doença autoimune que determina manifestações sistêmicas e está associada a aumento do risco de evento cardiovascular. Objetivo: Analisar o índice SCORE de predição de evento cardiovascular em pacientes do gênero feminino portadores de AR comparados com controles sem a doença. Métodos: Estudo de caso-controle com análise de 100 pacientes pareadas por gênero e idade versus 100 pacientes do grupo controle. Para a predição do risco de evento cardiovascular fatal em 10 anos, usamos os índices SCORE e SCORE modificado (mScore), conforme sugerido pela Eular, no subgrupo com 2 ou mais dos seguintes: duração da doença ≥ 10 anos, positividade para fator reumatoide e/ou anti-CCP e manifestações extra-articulares. Resultados: A prevalência das comorbidades analisadas foi similar nas pacientes com AR, em comparação com o grupo controle (p > 0,05). As médias do índice SCORE foram 1,99 (DP: 1,89) e 1,56 (DP: 1,87) nas portadoras de AR e nos controles (p = 0,06), respectivamente. Com o uso do índice mScore, nas pacientes com AR foi encontrada a média de 2,84 (DP: 2,86) versus 1,56 nos controles (DP: 1,87) (p = 0,001). Ao usar o índice SCORE, 11% dos portadores de AR foram classificados como de alto risco; com o índice mScores, 36% obtiveram essa classificação (p < 0,001). Conclusões: O índice SCORE é semelhante nos dois grupos, mas com a aplicação do índice mScore identificamos que os pacientes com AR têm maior risco de evento cardiovascular fatal em 10 anos, com ênfase na importância dos fatores inerentes à doença não mensurados no índice SCORE, mas considerados no índice mScore.
