Hematological malignancies are protean in their presentations. Primary cardiac tumors are exceedingly rare, and primary cardiac leukemia presenting as an isolated mass is even rare. Here, we present a case of a young man who presented with one month histo... see more

Introducción: Los tumores cardiacos son infrecuentes en la edad pediátrica, en su mayoría son primarios y benignos (90%), siendo los más frecuentes los Rabdomiomas, Fibromas y Mixomas.  Las indicaciones quirúrgicas están relacionadas al efecto hemodi... see more

Background & Objectives: Cardiac Myxomas include benign and malignant neoplasms, arising within the cardiac chambers or in the myocardium. Because, it is a rare tumor of the heart, there seems a lack of adequate data and its recent optimal treatment for b... see more

Tumor en la enfermedad renal poliquística. Presentación de un caso / Tumors in polycystic kidney disease. A case reportTumor en la enfermedad renal poliquística. Presentación de un caso / Tumors in polycystic kidney disease. A case reportEl carcinoma de la célula renal es encontrado en muy poca probabilidad en la enfermedad renal poliquística autosómica dominante. El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar un caso tratado por insuficiencia renal crónica progresiva en el curso de una enfermedad renal poliquística autosómica dominante, el cual sufre graves complicaciones y es intervenido quirúrgicamente, encontrándose en el acto quirúrgico la asociación de un tumor con una enfermedad renal poliquística autosómica dominante. La intervención quirúrgica se realizó en el servicio de Urología del Hospital General Docente "Abel Santamaría Cuadrado" en junio de 2009. La paciente acude a consulta por un cuadro hemorrágico urinario y dolor lumbar gravativo, se constata las mucosas: hipocoloreadas y húmedas, y en el aparato cardiovascular: ruidos cardiacos y taquicardicos, frecuencia cardiaca: 110 x minuto y TA: 190/110 mmHg, se ingresa al paciente e indica tratamiento sintomático además de estudios hematológicos y radiológicos: Hematocrito ( 0,40 L/L), Glicemia (4,5 mmol-L), Conteo de plaquetas ( 18 / 109 /L), Creatinina (110 mmol/L), Electrocardiograma (Taquicardia sinusal) y orina (Hematuria Macroscópica). Ecografía abdominal: Riñón izquierdo aumentado de tamaño con múltiples imágenes eco lúcidas, el riñón derecho muy aumentado de tamaño con imágenes eco lúcidas hacia polo superior, deformidad de la parte media y polo inferior del mismo, por tumor ecogénico de 140 x 100 mm., Tomografía axial computarizada: Masas hipodensas regulares en riñón izquierdo, masas hipodensas en riñón derecho, masa tumoral a nivel del mismo. Se realiza nefrectomía derecha confirmando el diagnóstico. La evolución fue satisfactoria con egreso a los 7 días de la intervención.Palabras clave: Enfermedad renal poliquística, autosómico dominante.ABSTRACTRenal cell carcinoma is rarely found in the autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). The objective of this work is to present a case treated by progressive chronic renal failure in the course of ADPKD, whose patient suffers from severe complications, finding a tumor associated to ADPKD during the surgery. The surgery was performed in the service of urology at "Abel Santamaria Cuadrado" University Hospital in June 2009. The patient attended to the hospital presenting a hemorrhagic urinary and lumbar gravitational pain picture. The mucosae were hypocolored and wet. Cardiovascular system presented: cardiac sounds and tachycardia, cardiac rate: 110 x minute and BP: 190/110 mmHg. The patient was hospitalized and the treatment was indicated, the hematologic and radiographic studies showed: hematocrit (0, 40 L/L), blood glucose (4, 5 mmol-L), platelet counts (18 / 109 /L), creatinine (110 mmol/L). The electrocardiogram showed a sinus tachycardia and in the urinalysis a macroscopic hematuria was observed. Detecting in the abdominal echography an enlargement in the left kidney with multiple echolucid images and the right kidney was enlarged with echolucid images towards the superior pole with a deformity in the middle part and in the inferior pole due to an echogenic tumor of 140x100mm. The CAT scan showed: regular hypodense masses in left kidney as well as hypodense masses in the right kidney and a tumoral mass in its level. The right nephrectomy was performed confirming the diagnosis. The evolution was satisfactory and the patient was discharged from the hospital at 7 days after the surgical intervention.Key words: Polycystic kidney disease; autosomal dominant

BACKGROUND The European system for cardiac operative risk evaluation (EuroSCORE) II is one of the established risk models used to predict mortality after cardiac surgery. However, its application as a mortality predictor for Indonesian adult cardiac surge... see more

Myxomas are one of the most common cardiac tumors. In 70–80% of cases they are located in the left atrium, 10–20% in the right atrium and in less than 10% in ventricles. We report a case of a 60-year-old patient after myocardial infarction of the posterio... see more

INTRODUCTION: Superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome is a rare clinical disorder associated with obstructing venous outflow through the SVC. Although the most common cause is mediastinal tumors, the growing number of implantable cardiac devices procedures has ... see more

Cardiac tumors are quite rare, and differential diagnosis of them is challenging.We present the case report of a young man complaining on non specific chest pain who was reported to Cardiology Ward due to suspicion of thrombus in left ventricle. The patie... see more
