Incidental finding of a lymphoma non-Hodgkin at the base of the tongue

[ES] Presentamos el caso clínico de un varón de 65 años, al que descubrimos de forma casual una tumoración submucosa en la amígdala lingual, cuyo diagnóstico pudo realizarse mediante una punción/biopsia con aguja gruesa guiada por ecografía. La evaluación anatomo-patológica demostraba la existencia de un linfoma no Hodgkin de fenotipo B. El estudio de extensión clasificaba al proceso de Estadio I-A y el tratamiento inicial fue con radioterapia local.Justifican esta publicación, el escaso número de casos descritos de linfoma no Hodgkin en amígdala lingual, la forma de presentación y el procedimiento diagnóstico utilizado. [EN] The clinical case of a 65 years old man is reported. Tumor was discovered in rutinary exploration and it was localized in the submucous of the lingual tonsil. Diagnosis was made by needle puncture guided by ultrasound. Anatomo-pathological evaluation demonstrated the existence of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, B phenotype and it was classified as Stage IA. Because of his bad health, a treatment with local radiotherapy was made.We think that, the few reported cases of non-Hodgkin lymphoma of lingual tonsil, the way how it was presented and also the method of diagnosis, would justify this publication

Hepatocolic fistula managed with a novel Padlock® device for endoscopic closure

Recent advances in endoscopic therapeutics allow conditions such as fistulas of the digestive system to be treated endoscopically. These cases were recently managed with surgery. The Padlock® system includes a nitinol clip that was recently introduced for endoscopic therapy. There are few reports with regard to its use in the daily clinical practice. We report a case of a colonic fistula that was endoscopically managed with this novel over-the-scope nitinol clip system
