Prenatal diagnosis of congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation using three-dimensional inversion rendering: A case report

2008

We report a case of a congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung (CCAM). At 12 weeks of gestation, an echogenic lung associated to a hydrothorax was detected. Despite the results of the combined test that informed of a high risk of chromosomopathy, normal karyotype was confirmed after an amniocentesis. The three-dimensional ultrasound inversion mode depicted all the cysts within the fetal lungs as opaque areas that were seen concurrently together, which was compatible with CCAM. After parental counseling, the patient opted to terminate the pregnancy at 18 weeks. Pathological analysis of the lungs confirmed the diagnosis of a CCAM type II. The recent advent of the three-dimension…

Neoplasia sincrónica de endometrio y ovario

2006

Resumen Este es el caso de una paciente con neoplasia sincronica de endometrio y ovario. Se presento a una edad joven (45 anos) y con signos clinicos de hipermenorrea. Posteriormente, mediante pruebas de imagen, hallamos la tumoracion ovarica. Los tipos histologicos fueron endometrioides en ambas localizaciones y, como en la mayoria de este tipo de neoplasias sincronicas, de bajo grado y estadio. Todos estos factores son de buen pronostico. Dentro de las neoplasias sincronicas, esta asociacion de tumores es relativamente frecuente; se caracterizan por tener buen pronostico y ser de bajo grado. Hay estudios en la actualidad cuyo objetivo es establecer criterios claros para diferenciar 2 neop…

Prenatally detected double trisomy: Klinefelter and Down syndrome

2006

Double trisomies are a rare occurrence. We report the first case of a Down and Klinefelter's syndrome (48,XXY,+21) in a fetus that was prenatally diagnosed during the 15th week of pregnancy. Even though the nasal bone was present, and the color-Doppler study of the ductus venosus and the nuchal thickness were normal, the maternal serum test results indicated an increased risk of Down syndrome and consequentially a genetic amniocentesis was performed. A 48,XXY,+21 karyotype was observed and the patient decided to terminate the pregnancy. In this case, we did not find the typical ultrasound (US) signs that would have led us to the chromosomopathy; furthermore, we emphasize the advantages of u…
