Article: [Acute abdomen due to perforated appendicular mucocele].
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Primary neoplasms of the appendix are present in approximately 0.2% to 0.3% of appendectomy specimens. Generally affect middle-age adults and elderly people. Approximately 30% to 50% of appendiceal neoplasms manifest with acute appendicitis by luminal obstruction. The definitive diagnosis is histological. We must avoid simple laparoscopic appendectomy and adopt an open procedure with a laparotomy appendectomy for a bening process. Right hemicolectomy is indicated when a malignant condition is suspected Follow-up is recommended in this pathology due to the risk of associated malignant neoplasms. We report a case of perforated appendiceal mucocele in a 84-year-old man presented as an acute abdomen.Acta gastroenterologica Latinoamericana 12/2012; 42(4):329-32. -
Article: [Leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminata].
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminata (LPD) is a rare, benign proliferative process characterized by multiple smooth muscle nodules throughout the peritoneum. Predominantly affects women in their reproductive years. The cause of LPD is unknown although it may be associated with high estrogen state. The clinical appearance mimics a peritoneal carcinomatosis and the radiologic findings are unspecific. So, the definitive diagnosis is histological. Treatment must be individualized depending on age, hormonal status and symptomatology. To date, less than 140 cases have been reported. We report a case of LPD in a 50-year-old woman presented as an intestinal obstruction.Acta gastroenterologica Latinoamericana 09/2011; 41(3):238-41.
