Eyelid sebaceous carcinoma is a rare tumour with slow growth and it is one of the most aggressive malignancies of the eyelid. Death rate can reach 6%. The diagnosis is often delayed because it is confused with other periocular lesions. The authors describe a case with atypical presentation, regarding rapid growth rate and exophytic aspect. Female, 78 years, presenting lower eyelid tumour with 4 months of evolution. Ophthalmological examination showed a tarsal exophytic tumour (22 mm), non-adherent to bulbar conjunctiva. She was medicated topically for 3 months, with the diagnosis of chalazio. Total excision was performed for histological diagnosis. After diagnosis of sebaceous carcinoma with specific immunohistochemical markers, and without free tumour surgical limits, a second surgery was performed with a pentagon entire...
A tuberculoma is a rare form of presentation of tuberculosis (TB) in children. We describe the case of a 13-year-old girl, with 3 weeks of progressive tiredness and asthenia and a 48 h fever and cough. Physical examination revealed diminished pulmonary sounds in the left lower hemithorax. A chest radiograph showed an oval hypotransparency image in this location. The TB skin test was anergic and sputum was negative for acid-fast bacilli (AFB). The thoracic CT revealed a cystic mass in the left lower half hemithorax, compressing the adjacent pulmonary lobe, with double non-calcificated membrane. The exeresis of the pulmonary mass was performed and the anatomopathological study revealed a tuberculoma with AFB. TB treatment was established with a favourable clinical and radiological evolution. TB is a prevalent disease around the wo...
INTRODUTION:
The oral epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine-kinase inibitor (TKI) erlotinib is an established second-line treatment for advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).1 Erlotinib delays disease progression and increases survival after first-line chemotherapy in patients with advanced NSCLC as second-line therapy.2 Maintenance therapy with erlotinib, when compared to placebo, could be associated with a significantly longer progression free survival and tolerability mainly in EGFR activating mutation tumours.3 However second line therapy with erlotinib is not more effective than chemotherapy (pemetrexed or other).4,5 In terms of traditional toxicities associated with chemotherapy, Erlotinib seems to have a better safety profile than chemotherapy, with no haematological toxicities, the most common event was mil...
Introdução
Foi objectivo deste trabalho de caso-controlo prospectivo e longitudinal conhecer a incidência de recém-nascidos leves para a idade gestacional durante um ano no Hospital Fernando Fonseca, identificar alguns dos possíveis factores de risco e as complicações surgidas até à alta hospitalar.
Participantes e métodos
Foram incluídos os recém-nascidos com peso abaixo do percentil 10 das Tabelas de Lubchenco e um grupo de controlo com peso adequado. Colheram-se dados do contexto socio-demográfico da famíia, da história materna e do parto. Registaram-se os dados de observação dos recém-nascidos, da ecotransfontanelar e evolução clínica hospitalar.
Os recém-nascidos leves para a idade foram classificados em simétricos ou assimétricos e calculou-se um valor 20% inferior ao valor do percentil 10 para identificação de atraso de c...
Mesmo após a reestruturação de acesso à Urgência Pediátrica que teve inicio em Março de 2000, a afluência directa à Urgência Pediátrica no Hospital Fernando Fonseca sem referenciação médica é uma realidade diária.
O presente estudo pretendeu determinar os motivos que levam as crianças à urgência daqueÌe hospital. Foi um estudo observacional descritivo, cuja recolha de dados ocorreu entre os dias 8 e 16 de Outubro de 2001 (apenas dias úteis) na Urgência Pediátrica (end-point 100 crianças). A maioria das crianças analisadas pertence aos Centros de Saúde do Cacém, Queluz e Mem Martins. O principal motivo da ida directa é a vontade dos acompanhantes, sendo a febre o principal motivo clínico da vinda das crianças. Não foi possível estabelecer qualquer relação entre o motivo para a vinda directa e a raça, escolaridade e o facto de ser prime...
Majority of children with pandemic influenza A (H1N1)pdm09 experience mild illness with full recovery without treatment. A previously healthy two and a half month-old girl was admitted to our paediatric intensive care unit because of severe respiratory failure with A (H1N1)pdm09 infection. Despite initial clinical improvement all attempts to extubate to non-invasive ventilation were unsuccessful and 2 to 3 weeks after symptom onset she started periods of cardiovascular instability and a progressive neurological deterioration with distal symmetrical progressive motor weakness and areflexia. All investigations were normal except elevated liver enzymes and cerebrospinal fluid examination that revealed elevated protein without pleocytosis. A possible diagnosis of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) was considered and electromyogram was compatibl...
