Introduction: Mammary analogue secretory carcinoma (MASC) is a recent discovered entity of salivary glands tumors, reported for first time in 2010. The presence of a translocation encodes the ETS variant transcription factor 6-neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase (ETV6-NTRK3) gene fusion differences MASC from other tumors. Case presentation: A 68-year-old male showed a non-painful right parotid enlargement, came from dermatology service, and followed by some facial squamous cell carcinomas. A computed tomography (CT) scan showed a 1.7×1.6 cm right parotid enlargement in superficial lobe. The patient underwent a right superficial parotidectomy. The final pathology confirmed the presence of ETV6-NTRK3-positive MASC. Complete right deep parotidectomy and functional cervical emptying were performed. Discussions and Conclusions: It is necessary to establish an appropriated differential diagnosis between salivary gland tumors. MASC is a low-grade malignancy cancer that sometimes can evolve to a high-grade tumor that might produce local and distance dissemination. Most times, these tumors are only treated by surgical resection and evaluating by a multidisciplinary team the need of more treatments. In our case, the patient showed a primary parotid tumor, removed surgically with free edges, and being identified as MASC. We decided to underwent neck dissection and discovered a second MASC focus on cervical salivary gland; however, there was no nodal dissemination. The patient remains diseasefree after 14 months from last surgery. It is important to keep studying genetic therapy targets to ETV6-NTRK3 to obtain a new therapy line to treat those cases that require.
El diagnóstico etiológico de una hemorragia postoperatoria persistente en pacientes adultos sin antecedentes médicos de interés supone un reto a día de hoy. Dentro de las distintas causas encontramos el déficit adquirido del Factor XIII (F. XIII) de la coagulación. El déficit de este factor suele pasar desapercibido al no ser valorado en el estudio preoperatorio rutinario.Presentamos el caso de un varón de 70 años con déficit de F. XIII adquirido, no diagnosticado previamente, que tras ser intervenido por un carcinoma epidermoide de suelo de boca sufrió un sangrado de cavidad oral y cervical bilateral con compromiso de la vía aérea.
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.
