Background
A 52-year-old woman presented with shortness of breath and cough. An endobronchial sialolipoma was found at the left entrance of the main bronchus. Sialolipoma is an exceedingly rare type of lipoma reported of the minor salivary glands, especially within the bronchus.
Case presentation
A 52-year-old woman presented with shortness of breath and cough with 6 months´ evolution. Endobronchial endoscopy revealed a tumour at the left entrance of the main bronchus. The entire removal of the tumour was removed using a cryoprobe device. Pathological examination showed a tumour consistent with the diagnosis of sialolipoma due to the presence of mature adipose cells blended with acinar, ductal, basal, and myoepithelial cells. The patient had a favourable outcome.
Conclusion
The infrequent tracheobronchial presentation of this tumour can be challenging for correct diagnosis.
La trombosis venosa superfi cial (TVS) de miembros inferiores venía considerándose como una patología de naturaleza benigna con un curso clínico autolimitado. Actualmente se conoce que sus potenciales complicaciones pueden ser graves o incluso mortales, como la trombosis venosa profunda o el tromboembolismo pulmonar. Existen diferentes formas de presentación clínica, factores de riesgo y diferentes tratamientos para su abordaje, principalmente en Atención Primaria.
Myeloid sarcoma, granulocytic sarcoma, chloroma or extramedullary myeloid leukemia, is an unusual tumor, with a dire prognosis. Up today, the clinical diagnosis continues to be extremely difficult due to the nonspecific symptoms. Histology, immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry are valuable in the diagnose of the tumor, as well as in the differential diagnosis from multiple entities with different prognoses and treatments. We present 61-year-old men who presented with three days evolution abdominal pain, vomiting and abdominal distension. A diagnosis of adenocarcinoma was presumed. A final diagnosis of intestinal myeloid sarcoma without evidence of bone marrow infiltration was established. A review of the most relevant aspects of this disease is presented.
