Adnexal torsion during pregnancy is a rare event mainly associated with the use of assisted reproductive techniques. However, it can occasionally also occur in spontaneous pregnancies without any predisposing factors. Its nonspecific clinical presentation in addition to the sometimes limited sensitivity of the gold standard test, Doppler ultrasound, leads to difficulty in preoperative diagnosis. For this reason, in most cases it is necessary to perform a laparoscopy in order to directly visualize the twisted ovary to obtain diagnostic confirmation. This is why, nowadays, adnexal torsion continues to be considered a diagnostic dilemma that should not delay the therapeutic approach, since a delay over 48 hours associates several irreversible lesions of the adnexa. At present, laparoscopy is the main surgical approach in pregnant women with suspicion of adnexal torsion due to the safety and advantages it provides. Keywords: Adnexal torsion, pregnancy, ovarian cyst, gynecological laparoscopy

Small cell carcinoma represents 20% of lung cancers, rarely occurs in other sites. Extrapulmonary small cell carcinoma is aggressive with a propensity for regional and distant dissemination. This type of carcinoma is a rare neoplasm in the breast. Although the clinical appearance is nonspecific, it often responds well to therapy and has a good prognosis of survival. We present the case of a 50-year-old woman with extrapulmonary small cell carcinoma of the breast. Physical examination showed a lesion of 4 x 3 x 3 centimeters confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging of left breast. Diagnosis was made by a core biopsy that showed the characteristics of small, round, lymphocyte-like cells with hyperchromatic nuclei and scarce cytoplasm compatible with small cell carcinoma of the breast. Patient was treated with chemotherapy before undergoing total mastectomy and resection of the lymph nodes. Keywords: Breast, Breast carcinoma, Extrapulmonary small cell carcinoma, Small cell cancer
小细胞癌占肺癌的20%,很少发生在其他部位。肺外小细胞癌具有侵袭性,有局部和远处播散的倾向。这种类型的癌是一种罕见的乳腺肿瘤。尽管临床表现是非特异性的,但它通常对治疗反应良好,并具有良好的生存预后。我们报告了一例50岁的女性肺外小细胞乳腺癌。体格检查显示左乳房的磁共振成像证实了一个4 x 3 x 3厘米的病变。通过核心活检进行诊断,显示小而圆的淋巴细胞样细胞的特征,细胞核深染,细胞质稀少,与乳腺小细胞癌相容。患者在接受乳房切除术和淋巴结切除术之前接受了化疗。关键词:乳腺癌、乳腺癌、肺外小细胞癌、小细胞癌症

Endometrial polyps are common lesions and their prevalence in the general population is relatively low; however, they can be associated with abnormal uterine bleeding, increased risk of endometrial cancer and, in some cases, infertility. These conditions can be considered as a malignant lesion depending on their characteristics. The risk of malignancy of an endometrial polyp varies between 0.8% to 8%. The malignancy that these represent cannot be observed in isolation but rather together with the other factors that increase the risk of endometrial cancer. The diagnosis is principally realized by transvaginal ultrasound and histeroscopia. The managing will depend on the individual evaluation of every patient and it can go from resection up to only follow-up.

Nuchal translucency is the hypoechoic region of subcutaneous fluid accumulation at the back of the fetal neck, at the level of the cervical spine, between the skin and soft tissues. Its measurement during the first trimester is part of the prenatal screening protocol for trisomies 21, 18 and 13. Between 11-13.6 weeks of gestation, its increase above the 95th percentile places the fetus at greater risk of congenital chromosomal and structural abnormalities. The individual measurement of nuchal translucency is a partially effective detection tool but its combination with biochemical markers increases its ability to predict the risk of Down syndrome and other fetal alterations. In cases of fetuses without aneuploidies, their increase is associated with adverse results. The objective of this article was to review the current evidence on the clinical significance of ultrasound assessment of fetal nuchal translucency.

Objective: To determine the risk factors and perinatal complications in pregnant women with diabetes mellitus who attended the Concepción Palacios Maternity between 2010 and 2015. Methods: Retrospective, descriptive and cross-sectional study involving 108 gestational diabetic patients and 108 without diabetes.Risk factors were compared, complications and their risk factors were assessed. Results: Among gestational diabetics, 76.8% were 35 years of age or older (p-0.013), there were 18.5% primigestas (p-0.031), 86.9% obese (p-0.000), 75% increased by more than 10 kg (p-0,000), 83.3% had a history of gestational diabetes (p-0.000), 31.5% family history of chronic arterial hypertension (p-0.000) and 41 % diabetes mellitus (p-0.001). Maternal complications were hypertensive pregnancy disorder (p-0.004), hyperglycemies (p-0.000) and prolonged hospital stay (p-0.000). Neonatal complications were low (p-0.003), hypoglycemia (p-0.000), macrosomia (p-0.000) and admission to intensive therapy (p-0.001). Risk factors for hypertensive pregnancy disorder were 35 years or more (p-0.0049), a family history of hypertension and diabetes (p-0.000) and personal history of gestational diabetes (p-0.0135). For hyperglycemia, age 35 years lower than 35 years (p-0.005). For neonatal complications, age less than 35 years (p-0.0001), primigestas (p-0.0002), history of gestational diabetes (p-0.000) and relatives of chronic hypertension and diabetes mellitus (p-0.0019). Conclusions: A body mass index greater than 25 kg/m2, a personal history of gestational diabetes, family members of diabetes and hypertension, and excessive weight gain during pregnancy are risk factors for gestational diabetes. Associated complications were hypertensive pregnancy disorder and hyperglycemia. Keywords: Gestational diabetes, Risk factors, Perinatal complications.

Idiopathic purple thrombocytopenia is a hemorrhagic pathology, characterized by a decrease in the platelet count during pregnancy, mediated by cells and anti-platelet antibodies, causing the premature destruction of platelets by the reticuloendothelial system, which during pregnancy could lead to a commitment to maternal fetal wellbeing in severe stages. This pathology occurs in 1 out of every 1,000 to 10,000 pregnancies, and corresponds to 3% of thrombocytopenic pregnancies. The goal of management is to maintain platelet counts within safe ranges, recommending starting harmacological management when a platelet count lower than 10,000 / uL is found at any time during pregnancy or 30,000 / uL in the second or third trimester. The case presented corresponds to a 40-yearold woman in the first trimester of pregnancy with a history of chronic idiopathic purple thrombocytopenic, with severe thrombocytopenia at the time of admission to the Hospital. Keywords: Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. Pregnancy. Blood platlets.

Fine needle aspiration biopsy cytology is part of the diagnostic triad in the evaluation of breast pathology, along with clinical and mammography or ultrasound findings. The Yokohama international system of the International Agency for Cytology has been proposed to report fine needle puncture-aspiration biopsy breast cytology, through 5 diagnostic categories: Inadequate/insufficient, benign, atypical, suspicious for malignancy and malignant, including in each of these definitions, key cytological diagnostic criteria and suggestions for clinical management. The objective of this article was to know the guidelines of this new breast cytological classification system for its implementation in this region. Fine needle puncture-aspiration biopsy is a precise and effective method to diagnose different breast lesions, which requires an adequate cell sample and a precise cytomorphological interpretation. The application of standardized Yokohama system will allow to improve the evaluation, diagnosis and clinical management of the breast pathology. Keywords: Breast cytology. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB). Reporting system Yokohama.

Objective: To determine the influence of the treatment received, in the quality of life and sexual function of women survivors of endometrial cancer during the period: January 2017 - August 2019. Methods: Prospective, observational, analytical, longitudinal research, in endometrial cancer survivors, to whom the SF-12 health questionnaire and the Female Sexual Function Index were applied, to determine the quality of life and sexual health respectively, before and after treatment. Results: Patients exposed to surgery alone who perceived deterioration in their physical health after treatment was 56.5 %, while in those exposed to surgery plus adjuvant treatment was 97.4 %, in those exposed to neoadjuvant treatment plus surgery was 100.0 % as in those exposed to external radiotherapy only. No patient treated with surgery or external radiotherapy alone perceived deterioration in their mental health after treatment, while the patients undergoing surgery plus adjuvant treatment the percentage was 33.33 % and in those exposed to neoadjuvant treatment plus surgery was 12.50 %. 40 women had sexual dysfunction after treatment, 65.5 % of women undergoing surgery alone, 93.3 % of those undergoing surgery plus adjuvant treatment and 100 % of those exposed to neoadjuvant treatment plus surgery. Conclusion: The prevalence of deterioration of physical health, mental health and sexual dysfunction in women exposed to combined treatments was higher than in those exposed to surgery alone. Key words: Endometrial Cancer, Quality of Life, Sexual Function, Physical Health, Mental Health.
