The authors present a case of a hemorrhagic adrenal cyst, one of the tumors known in literature as incidentalomas, emphasizing the clinical characteristics, since adrenal cysts or pseudocysts are generally rare and observed by chance during imaging procedures. Traditionally they are classified as pseudocysts, endothelial, epithelial or parasitic cysts. Laparoscopic adrenalectomy has been considered the treatment of choice for benign, functioning or non-functioning adrenal lesions. Small cystic adrenal tumors can be managed conservatively by laparoscopic decortication or marsupialization, but larger cysts should be treated by total or partial adrenalectomy.Keywords: Adrenal gland diseases/diagnosis; Adrenal gland diseases/ surgery; Cysts/diagnosis; Adrenalectomy; Laparoscopy/methods; Case reports RESUMOOs autores apresentam um caso clínico de cisto hemorrágico da glândula adrenal, conhecido na literatura como uma das doenças do grupo dos incidentalomas, enfatizando características clínicas, como cistos e pseudocistos da adrenal, que são raros e geralmente diagnosticados incidentalmente por métodos de imagem. Tradicionalmente, essas lesões são classificadas em: pseudocistos, cistos endoteliais, epiteliais e parasitários. A adrenalectomia laparoscópica vem sendo considerada a conduta cirúrgica de escolha para o tratamento das lesões benignas da adrenal (funcionantes ou não funcionantes). As pequenas lesões císticas da adrenal podem ser manuseadas conservadoramente pela decorticação ou marsupialização laparoscópica; no entanto, os cistos maiores devem ser tratados por meio de adrenalectomia total ou parcial.Descritores: Doenças das glândulas supra-renais/diagnóstico; Doenças das glândulas supra-renais/cirurgia; Cistos/diagnóstico; Adrenalectomia; Laparoscopia/métodos; Relatos de casos
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive patients may develop vasculitis, either mediated by immunological factors or by direct vascular injury. We describe a patient who developed manifestations suggestive of extremities vasculitis with no identifiable risk factors other than HIV, Epstein Barr and Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) type 1 co-infection. Physicians should be aware that vasculitis may have a heterogeneous presentation and occur associated with HIV infection. Although unusual, this association should be recognized for early proper treatment and prevention of ischemia.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
