Pigmented desmoplastic trichilemmoma
2016
Desmoplastic trichilemmoma (DT), the pseudomalignant variant of conventional trichilemmoma described by Hunt et al in 1990, displays a superficial lobular growth pattern of glycogen-rich cells with peripheral nuclear palisading surrounded by a thickened basement membrane. DT differs from its conventional counterpart by showing a central hyalinized area with epithelial cords and strands mimicking invasive carcinoma. We report a case that fully satisfies the criteria for DT and, in addition, shows an extensive melanocytic cell component and prominent melanin deposition. To our knowledge, a pigmented variant of DT has not been reported and should be recognized in order to appropriately face th…
Follow-up of patients with colonic polyps containing severe atypia and invasive carcinoma. Compliance, recurrence, and survival
1988
Between January 1975 and December 1984 1769 polyps were endoscopically removed from 1219 patients. Eight percent of these patients had polyps containing severe atypia and 5.0% had polyps containing invasive cancer. A close postoperative surveillance program was followed by only a few patients, but compliance improved with longer follow-up intervals. Metachronous polyps were observed with similar frequency in patients with benign polyps (34.8%) and those with polyps containing severe atypia (23.8%) or cancer (41.7%). Patients in whom malignant polyps were endoscopically removed had a 5-year survival rate of 84.3% that did not differ from that of patients' whose polyps contained severe atypia…
Calidad de la atención al paciente oncológico: Tiempos asistenciales recomendables entre sospecha clínica y definición del plan terapéutico en cáncer…
2012
Fundamento. Determinar tiempos recomendables para el tratamiento desde la sospecha clínica fundada en los procesos asistenciales de cáncer de mama y colorrectal considerando factibilidad y situación personal del paciente. Método. Estudio cualitativo de búsqueda de consenso entre profesionales. Primero, se revisaron mediante 4 sesiones grupales (N=19), los procesos asistenciales de cáncer de mama y cáncer colorrectal y se fijaron los tiempos deseables de ambos procesos. Segundo, mediante una modificación de la técnica Delphi (N=49), se validó la propuesta de tiempos de atención recomendables para cada proceso asistencial. Resultados. La tasa de respuesta en el estudio Delphi fue del 69% en e…
Scanning electron microscopy of the cervix uteri.
1974
Scanning electron microscopy has been used in the study of five cases of the cervix uteri: two normal cases; one case of indirect metaplasia; one case of carcinoma in situ whose colposcopic examination showed an erosio vera surrounded by leucoplasia, mosaic, base, and an area of atipic transformation zone and one case of invasive carcinoma.
