Introdução: O câncer de mama é um grande agressor da saúde feminina, além de ser o segundo câncer mais incidente nessa população. É uma doença geralmente insidiosa, acometendo mulheres em idade mais avançada. Quando presente em mulheres mais jovens, tem pior prognóstico. Assim, diagnóstico e tratamento precoces são essenciais para o bom prognóstico das pacientes. O objetivo deste estudo foi fazer um relato de experiência sobre uma ação de extensão realizada pela Liga Acadêmica de Oncologia do Pará (LAOPA) para detecção do câncer de mama em uma população de risco e discutir a importância de ações de extensão no Pará. Relato de experiência: Um mutirão de rastreio do câncer de mama foi realizado no município de Ananindeua, Pará, em outubro de 2015. Uma capacitação para os acadêmicos foi feita por meio de aulas expositivas sobre câncer de mama e um treino prático foi realizado em modelos anatômicos. A ação foi dividida em espaços, alguns dos quais destinavam-se às consultas e outro, a uma palestra com o tema "desmistificando o câncer de mama". Conclusão: O 5º Mutirão da Mama se mostrou extremamente importante para o contexto da saúde feminina no Pará, pois ofertou atendimento clínico e exames gratuitos a uma população de risco para a neoplasia de mama, tornando-se também um projeto símbolo da LAOPA.Palavras-chave: programas de rastreamento; neoplasias da mama; mamografia. ABSTRACTIntroduction: Breast cancer is a major female health aggressor and the second most common cancer in women. It is usually an insidious disease, affecting women at a later age. When present in younger women, prognosis is worse. Thus, early diagnosis and treatment are essential for a good prognosis. The objective of this study was to present an experience report about an extension action performed by Liga Acadêmica de Oncologia do Pará (LAOPA) to detect breast cancer in a population at risk and to discuss the importance of extension actions in the State of Pará, Brazil. Experience report: A breast cancer screening effort was conducted in the city of Ananindeua, in October 2015. The academics were trained in lectures on breast cancer and through practice with anatomical models. The project was divided by locales, some of which were destined to the consultations and other to a lecture on the topic "demystifying breast cancer". Conclusion:The 5 th Mutirão da Mama was extremely important for the female health context in Pará, since it offered clinical care and free examination tests to a population at risk for breast neoplasia, also becoming a symbol project of LAOPA.
Nesidioblastosis is an exceedingly rare occurrence in the adult and, when it appears, it is usually part of a MEAl syndrome. We present a .case of nesidioblastosis in a young woman, with no concurrent endocrine pathology, while we discuss in detail the diagnostic and therapeutic problems posed by this condition. The selected treatment was sub-total pancreatectomy (70-80%) and the histopathologic and immunohistochemical tests of the surgical specimen showed:"Diffuse Nesidioblastosis'.The histopathologic and immuno-histochemical features of the resected pancreas are analysed in detail.
Background: Adrenal myelolipoma is a rare benign tumor formed by hematopoietic tissue and mature adipose tissue. Usually is insidious and found occasionally on image exams, therefore is also called incidentaloma. Image studies and anatomopathological exam are important to define the diagnosis of adrenal myelolipoma. This study's objective was to report the case of this rare adrenal tumor and its main diagnostic means.Case: It was report a case about a 72-year-old patient, whose initial symptom was diffuse abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, diagnosed with adrenal myelolipoma after image studies even in the absence of laboratory abnormalities, and submitted at a private hospital at Belém-PA. Conclusions:The adrenal myelolipoma, due its usual asymptomatic characteristics or its no-specifics symptoms, requires a meticulous analysis concerning both diagnosis and treatment. Thus, our case report corroborates the importance of the image studies in front of an obscure and difficult diagnosis, especially the computed tomography, and anatomopathological evaluation, since they are essential to the best decision making and consequently a better prognosis of the patient.
