Introduction: The cecal appendix can be affected by Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas (NHL) by extension of the neoplasm; however primary appendicular lymphoproliferative processes are uncommon. The NHL of Mucosal-Associated Lymphoid Tissue (MALT) is exceptional. To establish the diagnosis of MALT, a morphological, molecular and immunohistochemical diagnosis is required, including molecular techniques that reflect B cell clones, PCR analysis or the identification of chromosomal abnormalities. Methods: 40 year old male, with 15 days of evolution of abdominal pain located in Right Lower Quadrant (RLQ) and associated symptoms like decreased appetite, nausea, and adynamia, who was firstly diagnosticated as an urinary tract infection treated as outpatient; upon his readmission, he was performed CT scan evidencing mesenteric panniculitis and thickening of the appendicular wall; he was surgically intervened finding edematous and congestive vermiform appendix with lower third perforation, and indurated cecum with 2 cm perforation from the appendicular base, performing right hemicolectomy with ileo-transverse mechanical anastomosis; he was discharged home 7 days after the postoperative period; the histopathological study and immunohistochemistry panel was compatible with MALT-type lymphoma, with lesion-free edges. Extension CT scans with no evidence of distant disease. He was sent to oncology for follow-up. Conclusion: It is important to get an established diagnosis in this rare pathology with molecular techniques and not only with histopathological cuts, since 30% of patients relapse.","PeriodicalId":115205,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Surgery: Open Access","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125364237","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study to demonstrate that with the Doppler echocardiographic index: Tricuspid Regurgitation Maximum Velocity (TRV)/Time-Velocity Integral of the Right Ventricle Outflow Tract (TVIrvot) we will obtain a Pulmonary Vascular Resistance Value (PVR) comparable to the invasive method. We evaluate its applicability in the PVRT. Methods: Prospective, double-blind, observational study in 30 patients, performed in 2 stages: A) We obtained simultaneous measurements of PVR by invasive method and echocardiography. TRV/TVIrovt index measurements were correlated with invasive PVR using the analysis of linear regression. An equation was modeled to calculate PVR in Wood Units (WU) by echocardiography; the results were compared with invasive RVP measurements using the Bland-Altman analysis. B) TRVP was performed by simultaneous measurement of PVR and Pulmonary Arterial Mean Pressure (MPAP) with the echocardiographic and invasive method. We use the equation formulated by Abbas (RVPa) and another modified one proposed in this study (RVPt). Results: In the first stage, the TRV/TVIrotv ratio correlated well with invasive PVR measurements (R 2=0.92). The Bland Altman analysis using RVP=10 × VRT/TVIrvot+0.36 showed satisfactory agreement limits (mean ± 0.36, L: 0.12-0.61). In the TRVP there was a high correlation of PVR between the two methods using the two equations. We also found high correlation with MPAP. Conclusions: The Doppler echocardiogram offers a reliable and non-invasive method to measure the PVR and MPAP in the PVRT.","PeriodicalId":115205,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Surgery: Open Access","volume":"90 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122450101","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
