Pseudotumor de rinofaringe tuberculoso

Transformation of vulvar pseudolymphoma (lymphoma-like lesion) into a marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of labium majus.

Lymphomas arising in the female genital tract are extremely uncommon. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and follicular lymphoma are the most common types. We describe the case of an 80-year-old woman with a recurrent lesion in the vulva initially diagnosed as a lymphoma-like lesion and evolving 7 years later into a marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma). Diagnosis was based on the monotypic pattern of the plasmacellular component and the clonal rearrangement of immunoglobulin heavy chain genes. No previous cases of vulvar marginal zone B-cell lymphoma arising in the context of a persistent lymphoma-like lesion have been reported. We highlight the importance of differentiatin…

Tratamiento conservador del adenocarcinoma de endometrio. Obtención de dos gestaciones con recién nacidos sanos

Resumen Se presenta un caso de adenocarcinoma de endometrio bien diferenciado en una mujer de 30 anos, sin hijos, cuya lesion se trato con gestagenos y reseccion histeroscopica. Tras el tratamiento se consiguio una gestacion normal, que se siguio, durante 18 meses, de una anticoncepcion con un dispositivo intrauterino (DIU) de levonorgestrel. Tras retirar el DIU se consiguio otra gestacion normal. Finalmente, completados los deseos reproductivos, se practico una histerectomia total con doble anexectomia. Se comentan los aspectos eticos, diagnosticos y terapeuticos, asi como las incertidumbres que tuvimos que afrontar, incluida la posibilidad de progresion de las lesiones y defuncion de la p…

Tuberculous Pseudotumor of the Rhinopharynx

Prevalence and distribution of human papillomavirus findings in swab specimens from gynaecology clinics of the east coast of Spain.

The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) among females in the east coast of Spain. A total of 1956 women visiting gynaecology clinics for routine check-ups were included in the study. Swabs were analyzed for HPV DNA by consensus polymerase chain reaction followed by direct sequencing. The overall HPV prevalence was 12.99%. HPV vaccine types 6, 11, 16 and 18 were detected in 6.13% of female participants.

Distribution of human papillomavirus types in women from Valencia, Spain, with abnormal cytology.

Objective To determine human papillomavirus (HPV) types among cervical smears using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and to contribute to the knowledge of human papillomavirus genotype distribution and prevalence of oncogenic types in cervical lesions in Spain. Study Design Consensus PCR and direct sequencing of PCR products (DNA HPV typing) were used in a retrospective study to determinate the type or types of HPV on 974 cytology smears of women with abnormal cytology results. Results Of 974 smears, 79.8% were high-risk (H-R) HPVs, 19.7% low-risk (L-R) HPVs, 4.6% indeterminate-risk (I-R) HPVs, considering both single and multiple infections. Multiple infections were detected in 4.7% of the …
