Angioma esplénico de células litorales

A 62-year-old man with a medical history of a painful abdominal mass in left upper quadrant and general symptoms, who was classified initially as an unresectable sarcoma. He received chemotherapy and radiotherapy with no response, so he underwent a new surgery, finding a heterogeneous tumor with immunohistochemical consistent with littoral cell angioma. Littoral cell angioma (LCA) is a rare splenic lesion that presents general symptoms, so there are not many reports, which requires surgical management. Is usually an asymptomatic neoplasm of incidental finding, affecting both sexes equally, whose diagnosis is histological and immunohistochemical with a good prognosis always after a surgical approach.Presentamos el caso de un paciente varón de 62 años con masa dolorosa en hipocondrio izquierdo catalogado inicialmente como sarcoma irresecable, recibió quimioterapia y radioterapia sin respuesta, motivo por el cual se reintervino quirúrgicamente hallándose un tumor dependiente de bazo heterogéneo con perfil inmunohistoquímico de angioma de células litorales. El angioma de células litorales (ACL) es una lesión esplénica poco frecuente que se presenta asociado a síntomas genéricos como astenia, dolor regional y baja de peso, que requiere como manejo principal un abordaje quirúrgico. Suele ser una neoplasia asintomática de hallazgo incidental, afecta a ambos sexos por igual, cuyo diagnóstico es básicamente histológico e inmunohistoquímico con buen pronóstico luego de un abordaje quirúrgico inicial

Hormone Receptor-Positive / HER2-Negative Early Breast Cancer High-Risk Population: An Algorithm for Optimization Systemic Adjuvant Treatment Based on 2022 Updates

Prognostic and predictive factors for early and late distant distance recurrence risk in estrogen-receptor positive and HER2-receptor negative early breast cancer are well known, but not all these variables work equally for the prediction. The following are the most widely accepted variables for categorizing risk levels: clinic-pathologic features (tumor size, lymph node involvement, histological grade, age, menopausal status, Ki-67 expression, estrogen, and progesterone expression), primary systemic treatment response (pathologic response and/or Ki-67 downstaging), and gene expression signatures stratification. Treatment guidelines from cancer societies and collaborative groups, online predict-tools, real-world data and experts’ opinion recommends different adjuvant strategies (chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, ovarian suppression, olaparib, or abemaciclib) depending on the low (< 10%), intermediate (10%-20%) or high-risk of distance recurrence at least in the first 5 years. Multiple randomized prospective trials were updated in 2022, that evidence allow us to perform a stratification of risk in pre- and postmenopausal women with estrogen-receptor positive and HER2-receptor negative early breast cancer based on a combination of clinic-pathologic features and genomic assays and guide the adjuvant systemic treatment recommendation for those with high risk
