Resumen: Introducción: El abordaje terapéutico de las manifestaciones cutáneas de las enfermedades raras es complejo. El objetivo principal de este trabajo consistió en determinar el impacto de la formulación magistral de dispensación hospitalaria en la calidad de vida de los pacientes con genodermatosis. Material y métodos: Se diseñó un estudio descriptivo transversal. Se incluyeron pacientes con genodermatosis que recibieron tratamientos tópicos elaborados y dispensados por el Servicio de Farmacia Hospitalaria del Complejo Hospitalario Universitario de Pontevedra. Se recogieron datos demográficos, cuestionarios generales y específicos sobre la calidad de vida, y cuestionarios que evaluaban los tratamientos administrados y la adherencia terapéutica. Resultados: Se incluyeron 9 pacientes. Se observó que, tras la terapia con fórmulas magistrales, hubo una reducción estadísticamente significativa del impacto en la calidad de vida de los pacientes. La satisfacción con los productos fue 2,8 sobre 25 (siendo 0 la mejor puntuación). La adherencia terapéutica superó el 89%. Conclusiones: La formulación magistral permite el acceso a medicamentos huérfanos y no comercializados para numerosas enfermedades raras. Su impacto en la calidad de vida de los pacientes afectos de estas enfermedades ha sido escasamente estudiado. En la serie de pacientes que se presenta, la elaboración y dispensación hospitalaria de fórmulas magistrales específicas conllevó efectos positivos en su calidad de vida. Este estudio inicial ha derivado en otro trabajo multicéntrico, centrado en las ictiosis, donde previsiblemente aumentará el número de pacientes a incluir y permitirá confirmar nuestros resultados. Abstract: Background: Cutaneous manifestations are complicated to treat in rare diseases. The main aim of this study was to analyze the impact of compounded drugs prepared by hospital pharmacists on the quality of life of patients with genodermatoses. Material and methods: We undertook a cross-sectional study of patients with genodermatoses treated with topical medications compounded and dispensed by the pharmacy at Complejo Hospitalario Universitario in Pontevedra, Spain. We collected demographic data and answers to questionnaires examining generic and disease-specific quality of life, treatment satisfaction, and treatment adherence. Results: Nine patients were included. We observed a significant improvement in health-related quality of life following treatment with compounded drugs. Satisfaction with the topical medications was 2.8 on a scale of 0 (greatest satisfaction) to 25. Treatment adherence was 59%. Conclusions: Drug compounding facilitates access to orphan drugs that are not available for many rare diseases. Few studies, however, have analyzed impact on quality of life in this setting. In this series of patients with genodermatoses, topical medications compounded and dispensed by a hospital pharmacy improved health-related quality of life. This preliminary study has given rise to a multicenter study of compounding for ichthyosis. We expect that analysis of a larger sample will confirm our findings.

- Abstract
Aim: Topical rapamycin is the pharmacological treatment of choice for facial angiofibromas in rare tuberous sclerosis disease. A new, more advanced, and complex formula was developed in our pharmacy service: rapamycin 0.4% liposomal formulation, with better organoleptic characteristics and a more favorable release profile of the active ingredient. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of liposomal topical rapamycin for the treatment of facial injuries in this rare disease., Method: This was an observational, prospective, and multicenter study. Effectiveness was evaluated mainly through facial angiofibromas severity index (FASI), investigator's global assessment (IGA) scores, and dermatology life quality index (DLQI) questionnaire. To assess the safety profile of rapamycin, adverse reactions were reported, and blood tests and blood rapamycin levels were performed during treatment., Results: Eleven patients were included, of which 8/11 (73%) patients obtained successful treatment according to FASI and IGA scores after 24 weeks of treatment. Statistical analysis demonstrated a significant improvement (p<.05) in FASI and IGA scores, erythema, and FA size after treatment with rapamycin liposomal formulation (FASI before treatment, median (interquartile range): 6.0 (2.0), FASI after treatment: 3.5 (2.0), p=.0063). Five patients also improved their quality of life after treatment. Regarding safety profile of rapamycin, the most common adverse reaction was mild pruritus and 2 patients reported erythema, who discontinued treatment prematurely. All hematological tests were normal, and blood rapamycin levels were undetectable., Conclusions: After galenic improvements and clinical evaluations, the rapamycin liposomal formulation proved to be effective and safe for this therapeutic indication. This new formulation was included as a magistral formula in our hospital pharmacy service, now accessible for prescribing by dermatologists. Drug development in hospital pharmacy is often the only pharmacological alternative available to treat the symptoms of rare diseases, when treatment options are limited or inadequate., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors have no relevant financial or non-financial interests to disclose., (Copyright © 2024 Sociedad Española de Farmacia Hospitalaria (S.E.F.H).

Introduction: tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a neurocutaneous syndrome autosomal dominant (AD), characterized by multiple hamartomas formation due to mutation of the TSC1 and TSC2 genes responsible for encoding tumor suppressor proteins. TSC is a multisystem disease; however, the diagnosis is based on the neurological involvement, skin lesions and imaging findings. Clinical case: a male teenager from Cartagena who at four months of age was diagnosed with West syndrome, managed with Vigabatrin, subsequently, he presented focal motor epilepsy. Macules and facial angiofibromas were found in physical examination. Cranial tomography scan (TAC) showed left frontotemporal region tuber and subependymal nodules. Based on these criteria TSC diagnosis was carried out. Conclusion: the TSC is a diagnostic challenge for the physician, it depends on excellent medical history and a complete physical examination even the search of characteristic lesions in the skin, they can be detected from the time of birth, just as detectable imaging findings even in uterus. Genetic tests do not rule the disease, although, they are confirmatory. Rev.cienc.biomed. 2015;6(2):369-375 KEYWORDS Epilepsy; Tuberous sclerosis; Tuberous; Skin lesions.

The name is derived from French phrase peau chagrinee which is usually found on lower back, buttock and thigh. The major manifestations of Tuberous sclerosis include skin lesions in more than 95%, mental retardation in approximately 50%, autism, seizures in approximately 85%. The incidence at birth is estimated to be 1 in 5800. We report case of shagreen patch in a 27 year female which is present since birth. However there is no history of seizures or consanginous marriage in our case. Associated features are naevus comedonicus and naevus collagenosis, facial angiofibroma. Shagreen patch are present in mandibular area of face. Although, diagnosis is easy, it can be mistaken for inflammatory verrucous epidermal nevus, plaques of other inflammatory skin conditions. Diagnosis is usually on clinical background. Sometimes biopsy is necessary to confirm the diagnosis. Dermoscopy, a non-invasive, in vivo technique for the microscopic examination of pigmented skin lesions, has the potential to improve the diagnostic accuracy. Dermoscopy of Shagreen patch showed reddish-brown strands with white dots giving a cobblestone appearance It can be utilized as a diagnostic aide in the diagnosis of Shagreen patch. Authors evaluated the dermoscopic patterns of Shagreen patch and hence, it is useful in diagnosis.

La esclerosis tuberosa es una enfermedad genética autosómica dominante con penetrancia muy variable; en un 50 a 80 % se asocia a la presencia de tumores de localización cardíaca. Se reporta el caso del diagnóstico prenatal de una tumoración cardiaca mediante ecografía fetal, en un embarazo de 23,2 semanas de gestación de una mujer de 32 años y antecedentes familiares del esposo con esclerosis tuberosa. Se ilustran y discuten los hallazgos ecográficos. La pareja se acoge a la interrupción del embarazo, conducta legalizada en el país, bajo los preceptos de evitar el riesgo de una malformación cardíaca incompatible con la vida. La ecocardiografía fetal facilitó el diagnóstico oportuno de la tumoración cardíaca, permitiendo la adecuada asesoría genética, de gran utilidad para el diagnóstico, conducta y seguimiento de casos como este.

Resumen: El complejo esclerosis tuberosa (CET) es una enfermedad rara, hereditaria, multisistémica y con un amplio espectro fenotípico. Su manejo requiere de la colaboración de múltiples especialistas. Así como en la edad pediátrica cobra un especial relieve el neurólogo pediatra, en la edad adulta la afectación renal es la causante de la mayor morbimortalidad. Existen diversas recomendaciones sobre el manejo general del paciente con CET, pero ninguna que se centre en la afectación renal. Las presentes recomendaciones responden a la necesidad de proporcionar pautas para facilitar un mejor conocimiento y manejo diagnóstico-terapéutico de la afectación renal del CET mediante un uso racional de las pruebas complementarias y el empleo correcto de los tratamientos disponibles. Su elaboración se ha basado en el consenso dentro del grupo de trabajo de enfermedades renales hereditarias de la SEN/REDINREN. Ha contado con la participación de especialistas en CET no nefrólogos también con el fin de ampliar la visión de la enfermedad. Abstract: Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a rare, hereditary, multisystemic disease with a broad phenotypic spectrum. Its management requires the collaboration of multiple specialists. Just as in the paediatric age, the paediatric neurologist takes on special importance; in adulthood, renal involvement is the cause of the greatest morbidity and mortality. There are several recommendations on the general management of patients with TSC but none that focuses on renal involvement. These recommendations respond to the need to provide guidelines to facilitate a better knowledge and diagnostic-therapeutic management of the renal involvement of TSC through a rational use of complementary tests and the correct use of available treatments. Their elaboration has been based on consensus within the hereditary renal diseases working group of the SEN/REDINREN (Spanish Society of Nephrology/Kidney Research Network). It has also counted on the participation of non-nephrologist specialists in TSC in order to expand the vision of the disease.

La esclerosis tuberosa también conocida como complejo esclerosis tuberosa es una enfermedad autosómica dominante, multisistémica, neurocutánea caracterizada por un amplio espectro de lesiones hamartomatosas que afectan la piel, cerebro, riñones, corazón, etc. La mayoría de las veces es diagnosticada en la niñez. El diagnóstico en pacientes adultos se realiza generalmente por falla renal y alteraciones pulmonares o dermatológicas. Presentamos el caso de una paciente de 57 años con discapacidad mental y dolor en ambos flancos, lo que acompañamos de una revisión de la literatura respecto de las manifestaciones imagenológicas de esta rara enfermedad.Tuberous sclerosis, also known as tuberous sclerosis complex, is an autosomal dominant, multisystemic, neurocutaneous disease characterized by a wide range of hamartomatous lesions involving the skin, brain, kidneys, heart, etc. In most cases, it is diagnosed in childhood. Diagnosis in adult patients is usually made by renal failure and lung or dermatologic alterations. We report the case of a 57-year-old female patient with mental retardation and flank pain. A literature review on imaging manifestations of this rare disease is also provided.

Objetivos: Analizar el diagnóstico ecográfico, la evolución y el tratamiento de los tumores cardiacos fetales diagnosticados en el Hospital La Paz de Madrid, entre los años 1995 y 2010. Método: Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo descriptivo recogiendo los principales datos ecográficos, de la historia clínica materna, neonatal y pediátrica. Resultados: En el periodo de estudio se diagnosticaron ecográficamente 28 tumores cardiacos fetales, 21 casos fueron catalogados como rabdomiomas. Once de ellos tuvieron una regresión prácticamente completa, con ocho casos diagnosticados hasta el momento de esclerosis tuberosa. Hubo 2 muertes intraútero, 1 interrupción legal del embarazo y 4 diagnósticos ecográficos de rabdomiomas, no se confirmaron al nacimiento. Se diagnosticaron prenatalmente dos fibromas; de ellos una gestante optó por la interrupción legal del embarazo y en el otro caso se produjo la muerte neonatal. Dos neonatos fueron sometidos a cirugía con una resección completa del tumor, con resultado anatomopatológico de heman-gioma capilar en uno y teratoma en el otro. En un caso se realizó una biopsia que confirmó la presencia de un hemangiopericitoma auricular que se redujo posteriormente con quimioterapia. Conclusiones: Los tumores cardiacos son una patología poco frecuente. La mayor parte de ellos son rabdomiomas, cuya sin-tomatología y evolución depende de su localización. Estos suelen regresar espontáneamente, pero pueden asociarse al diagnóstico de esclerosis tuberosa, lo que empeora su pronóstico.Aims: To analize the diagnosis, clinical course and management of fetal cardiac tumors diagnosed at La Paz Hospital (Madrid) between 1995 and 2010. Methods: We performed a retrospective descriptive study collecting the main ultrasound dates of the maternal, newborn and pediatric history. Results: During the study period, 28 fetal cardiac tumors were dignosed. Rhabdomyomas were diagnosed in 21 fetuses; 11 rhabdom-yomas returned almost completely. Eight of them were diagnosed of tuberous sclerosis up to the moment. Other two cases died in utero. One pregnant decided to be practised a miscarriage and four rhabdomyomas which were diagnosed by ultrasound, were not found in the newborns. Two fibroms were diagnosed by ultrasound; one of the pregnant woman decided to be practised a miscarriage and the other fetus died when he was born. Two newborns were operated, with the pathological anatomy result of a hemangioma and a teratoma. A biopsy was made that confirmed the presence of an atrial hemangiopericitoma which was treated by quimiotherapy. Conclusion: Fetal cardiac tumors are a rare disease. Most of them are rhabdomyomas which syntomatology and clinical course depend on its location. They usually regret spontaneously, but they can be associated with tuberous sclerosis, and this aggravates their prognosis.

Se presenta un caso de una mujer de 27 años, quien acude al Cuerpo de Guardia con dolor abdominal moderado de reciente comienzo. Al examen físico, se constata una masa abdominal que ocupaba ambos flancos. Luego de los estudios clínicos e imagenológicos, se comprobó la presencia de angiomiolipomas renales bilaterales, nódulos subependimarios y lesiones en piel por lo que se diagnosticó esclerosis tuberosa. La esclerosis tuberosa es una enfermedad neurocutánea caracterizada por cambios hamartomatosos en los pulmones, cerebro, riñones, piel, corazón y otros órganos. Para el diagnóstico se aplican criterios basados en el hallazgo de manifestaciones mayores y menores. En esto, la Imagenología tiene un importante papel.A 27 year old woman was given to the emergency department with mild, acute onset of right side abdominal pain. Clinical examination revealed firm masses bilaterally occupying almost the entire abdomen. Because the presence of bilateral angiomyolipomas, subependymal tuberous and adenoma sebaceum of the skin the patient was diagnosed as having a case of tuberous sclerosis . TS is a neurocutaneous disease characterized by hamartomatous changes in the lungs, brain, kidneys, skin, heart and others organs. The diagnostic criteria consisted of a set of major and minor diagnostic features. The imagenology plays a very important role.

Los rabdomiomas cardiacos son tumores benignos dependientes de las fibras musculares miocárdicas, los cuales usualmente son múltiples, pero tienden a disminuir tanto en número como en tamaño con el crecimiento, con una regresión espontánea en 90% de los casos. Hacen parte de los tumores cardiacos primarios, los cuales son poco frecuentes, con una incidencia que varía entre 0,0017% y 0,28%. El más frecuente de los tumores cardiacos primarios es el rabdomioma. Se describe asociación con esclerosis tuberosa hasta en 72% de los casos, razón por la cual ésta debe buscarse ante el hallazgo de rabdomioma cardiaco.Cardiac rhabdomyomas are benign tumors derived from cardiac muscle fibers. They are usually multiple, but tend to decrease both in number and size with growth, with spontaneous regression in 90% of cases. These lesions are part of the primary cardiac tumors, which are uncommon, and have a variable incidence between 0.0017 and 0.28%. The most common primary cardiac tumor is the rhabdomyoma. An association between rhabdomyoma and tuberous sclerosis has been described in up to 72% of cases. For this reason, a patient with cardiac rhabdomyoma should be investigated for tuberous sclerosis.

Resumen Los tumores cardiacos son inhabituales en la edad pediátrica; de ellos, el rabdomioma es el más prevalente. Su curso suele ser benigno. Los casos sintomáticos obedecen a su efecto mecánico obstructivo o a la presencia de arritmias. No es común su asociación con cardiopatías congénitas. Se presenta el caso de un lactante con rabdomiomas múltiples dentro del complejo de esclerosis tuberosa y portador de tetralogía de Fallot con estenosis infundibulovalvular grave, quien presentó crisis de hipoxia que requirió valvuloplastia pulmonar percutánea, la cual se complicó por arritmia supraventricular y tuvo un desenlace fatal. Abstract Cardiac tumors are rare in pediatrics, and when they occur, rhabdomyomas are the most prevalent. They are generally benign; symptomatic cases are due to mechanical obstruction or arrhythmias. They are not commonly associated with congenital heart disease. We present the case of an infant with multiple rhabdomyomas as part of tuberous sclerosis complex, and tetralogy of Fallot with severe infundibular and valvular stenosis, who presented a hypoxic crisis requiring percutaneous pulmonary valvuloplasty which was complicated by supraventricular arrythmia and had a fatal outcome.

Los tumores primarios del corazón son raros. En estudios de autopsias la incidencia puede llegar a ser hasta del 0,002-0,250%; el rabdomioma es el tumor benigno más común (50-78%), y se asocia con esclerosis tuberosa en 72% de los casos.¹ En la gran mayoría, este tumor tiende a regresar. Los síntomas típicos son secundarios a los efectos ocasionados por las alteraciones de la geometría ventricular izquierda (gasto cardíaco y fracción de eyección). El hydrops y las arritmias son, en estos casos, las principales causantes de la muerte repentina. La conducción atrioventricular anormal se debe a la interrupción por parte del tumor, del tejido fino nodal o septal. Los niños afectados tienen una edad de gestación promedio entre 22 a 36 semanas,² y su pronóstico depende en especial de la presencia de arritmias y de esclerosis tuberosa.3 Como tratamiento prenatal se ha intentado el uso de la digital y otros medicamentos. Previa autorización de la paciente, se presenta este caso para ilustrar acerca de las posibilidades de diagnóstico y tratamiento antenatal de esta patología, de rara presentación en la práctica.Primary heart tumours are rare. Overall incidence ranges from 0.002-0.250% in autopsy. Rhabdomyoma is the most common benign tumour (50-78%); it has 72% associated with tuberous sclerosis. This tumour tends to return in most cases. Typical symptoms are secondary to adverse effects caused by left ventricular geometry (cardiac wear and ejection). Hydrops foetalis and arrhythmia often lead to sudden death. Abnormal atrioventricular (AV) conduction is due to a tumour disrupting nodal or septal conduction tissue. Gestational age has ranged from 22 to 36 weeks when diagnosis has been made. Prognosis is frequently associated with arrhythmia and tuberous sclerosis. Prenatal digitalis therapy and other medications have been tried in cases of foetuses suffering from heart failure or arrhythmia. The patient’s prior consent has been given here to report a case of ante-natal diagnosis of cardiac rhabdomyoma to teach the diagnosis and management of foetuses suffering from this rare pathology.

Resumen El Complejo de Esclerosis Tuberosa (CET) es un trastorno genético de herencia autosómica dominante causado por la mutación en uno de los genes TSC1 o TSC2. Los pacientes con una afectación CET grave de tipo neurológica posiblemente presentarán epilepsia, discapacidad intelectual, problemas específicos del aprendizaje y trastornos de la conducta, por lo que la evaluación neuropsicológica en individuos con esta patología cobra un carácter importante al proporcionar información sobre los déficits cognitivos que subyacen en la afectación cerebral, que alteran el funcionamiento intelectual y los aspectos adaptativos. El actual trabajo presenta el perfil de una paciente adulta femenina con antecedente de CET, epilepsia y discapacidad intelectual, así como la descripción de una propuesta de intervención neuropsicológica basada en el funcionamiento ejecutivo dorsolateral. Abstract Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant inherited genetic disorder caused by mutation in one of the TSC1 or TSC2 genes. Patients with severe neurological-type CET involvement may have epilepsy, intellectual disability, specific learning problems, and behavioral disorders. For this reason, the neuropsychological evaluation in individuals with this pathology becomes an important character by providing information on the cognitive deficits that underlie brain involvement that alter intellectual functioning and adaptive aspects. The current work presents the cognitive profile of a female adult patient with a history of TSC, epilepsy and intellectual disability and the description of a proposed neuropsychological intervention based on dorsolateral executive functioning.

RESUMEN El complejo de esclerosis tuberosa es una afección genética, aproximadamente dos tercios de los casos ocurren esporádicamente; se caracteriza por lesiones y tumores benignos (hamartomas) en múltiples sistemas orgánicos. La detección prenatal precisa es importante para el pronóstico, una decisión sobre el resultado del embarazo y el asesoramiento. Se reporta el caso de una gestante sana y su feto con diagnóstico presuntivo de esclerosis tuberosa, por hallazgo de masas intracardiacas en ecografía prenatal, confirmados luego del nacimiento, con afectación de otros órganos, cumpliendo con criterios mayores de diagnóstico. El caso presentado es el primero registrado en el Departamento de Neonatología y tiene el objetivo de mostrar la aproximación diagnóstica prenatal y postnatal de una enfermedad relativamente rara. ABSTRACT Tuberous sclerosis complex is a genetic condition caused by mutations in the tumor suppressor genes TSC1 and TSC2, located on chromosomes 9 and 16 respectively. Approximately two-thirds of cases occur sporadically and the overall incidence has been estimated to be 1 in 5,800 live births. It is characterized by benign lesions and tumors (hamartomas) in multiple organ systems (brain, heart, skin, eyes, kidneys, lungs, liver). Accurate prenatal detection is important for prognosis, a decision about the pregnancy outcome, and counseling. We report the case of a healthy pregnant woman and her fetus with a presumptive diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis, due to the finding of intracardiac masses on prenatal ultrasound, confirmed after birth, with involvement of other organs, fulfilling the major diagnostic criteria. The case presented is the first recorded case at our Department of Neonatology and this report illustrates the prenatal and postnatal diagnostic approach of a relatively rare disease.

- Abstract
Tuberous sclerosis complex is an autosomal dominant genetic multisystemic disorder caused primarily by mutations in one of the two tumor suppressor genes TSC1 or TSC2, resulting in increased activation of the mTOR pathway. Regarding clinical manifestations, a wide range of phenotypic variability exists, with symptoms constellations that may differ in affected organs (brain, skin, heart, eyes, kidneys, lungs), age of presentation and severity, but usually with great impact in biopsychosocial aspects of health and in quality of life. Main clinical neurological features are epilepsy (frequently, antiepileptic drug-resistant epilepsy), neuropsychiatric disorders, and subependymal giant cell astrocytomas. Recently, many therapeutic strategies have developed, including preventive treatment of epilepsy, new options for treatment of epilepsy as cannabidiol, mTOR inhibitors, ketogenic diet, and a more precise epilepsy surgery. Subependymal giant cell astrocytomas may require surgical procedures or mTOR inhibitors treatment. mTOR inhibitors may also be useful for other comorbidities. To improve quality of life of patients with tuberous sclerosis complex, it is essential to be able to deliver an integrated approach by specialized multidisciplinary teams, coordinated with primary care physicians and health professionals, that include access to treatments, attention of psychosocial aspects, and an adequate health care transition from pediatric to adult care.

- Abstract
Background: Cutaneous manifestations are complicated to treat in rare diseases. The main aim of this study was to analyze the impact of compounded drugs prepared by hospital pharmacists on the quality of life of patients with genodermatoses., Material and Methods: We undertook a cross-sectional study of patients with genodermatoses treated with topical medications compounded and dispensed by the pharmacy at Complejo Hospitalario Universitario in Pontevedra, Spain. We collected demographic data and answers to questionnaires examining generic and disease-specific quality of life, treatment satisfaction, and treatment adherence., Results: Nine patients were included. We observed a significant improvement in health-related quality of life following treatment with compounded drugs. Satisfaction with the topical medications was 2.8 on a scale of 0 (greatest satisfaction) to 25. Treatment adherence was 59%., Conclusions: Drug compounding facilitates access to orphan drugs that are not available for many rare diseases. Few studies, however, have analyzed impact on quality of life in this setting. In this series of patients with genodermatoses, topical medications compounded and dispensed by a hospital pharmacy improved health-related quality of life. This preliminary study has given rise to a multicenter study of compounding for ichthyosis. We expect that analysis of a larger sample will confirm our findings., (Copyright © 2022 AEDV.

Resumen La esclerosis tuberosa es un síndrome neurocutáneo caracterizado por el desarrollo de hamartomas en distintos órganos. Presenta una herencia autosómica dominante, aunque más del 60% de los casos se deben a mutaciones de novo. La presentación clínica es muy variable, incluyendo principalmente manifestaciones cutáneas, neurológicas, renales, cardiacas y oculares. El diagnóstico se establece por criterios clínicos y estudio genético. El tratamiento consiste en control de la sintomatología neurológica y de otras manifestaciones sistémicas. Presentamos el caso de una niña de cuatro años remitida a Urgencias por crisis convulsivas de corta duración durante una semana, con hallazgo en el examen físico de lesiones cutáneas típicas de esclerosis tuberosa. Las pruebas de neuroimagen revelaron los característicos cerebrales. Se realiza una breve revisión de esta enfermedad. Abstract Tuberous sclerosis is a neurocutaneous syndrome characterized by the presence of hamartomas involving many organs. It presents autosomal dominant inheritance, although more than 60% of cases are sporadic, resulting from new mutations. Clinical presentation is variable, including cutaneous, neurological, renal, cardiac and ophthalmic manifestations. The diagnosis is based on genetic study and clinical criteria. Treatment is directed to the control of its neurological symptoms and other systemic manifestations. We describe the case of a 4-year-old girl sent to the Emergency Department with short-term seizures during one week and with skin lesions typical of tuberous sclerosis. Neuroimaging showed the characteristic cerebral tubers. We review the main aspects of this disease.

Resumen Presentamos el caso de un varón de 32 años, con síndrome de genes contiguos TSC2/PKD1, que le ocasiona esclerosis tuberosa (ET) y poliquistosis renal autosómica dominante simultáneamente. Evolucionó a enfermedad renal terminal y se realizó trasplante renal a los 12 años. Los riñones presentaban angiomiolipomas (AML), que son tumores benignos frecuentes en pacientes con ET. A los 17 años postrasplante, presentó un cuadro de dolor abdominal, anemización y hematoma retroperitoneal. Dicho hematoma se produjo por el sangrado de los AML. Como tratamiento se realizó embolización selectiva. Nuestro paciente podría haberse beneficiado en el momento del trasplante renal del tratamiento con inhibidores de mTOR. Este fármaco actúa como inmunosupresor y reductor tumoral en la ET, al disminuir el riesgo de rotura y hemorragia. En este paciente no se administró porque cuando se trasplantó no se conocía la relación de los inhibidores de mTOR con la ET. Este caso confirma que, a pesar de tratarse de pacientes trasplantados o en diálisis, el riesgo de sangrado por los AML persiste, por lo cual se propone realizar controles periódicos de los riñones propios y valorar la nefrectomía. Abstract We report the case of a 32-year-old male diagnosed with TSC2/PKD1 contiguous gene syndrome, presenting with tuberous sclerosis (TS) and autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease simultaneously. He progressed to end-stage renal disease and received a kidney transplant at the age of 12. The native kidneys presented angiomyolipomas (AML), which are common benign tumours in patients with TS. Seventeen years after transplantation, he presented with abdominal pain, anaemia and a retroperitoneal haematoma, the latter caused by renal AML bleeding. Selective embolisation was performed. Our patient could have benefited from the administration of mTOR inhibitors at transplant. This therapy is immunosuppressive and reduces the size of benign tumours in TS as well as the risk of rupture and bleeding. This patient did not receive mTOR inhibitors at the time of the transplant because the relationship between mTOR inhibitors and TS was unknown at that time. This case confirms the persistent risk of renal AML bleeding for both transplanted patients and patients on dialysis. As a result, we would recommend routine check-ups of native kidneys and nephrectomy assessment.

Resumen El rabdomioma es un tumor poco frecuente, más aún cuando es diagnosticado en la vida intrauterina; su pronóstico es variable y su etiología permanece desconocida. Se manifiesta clínicamente en la vida fetal de forma asintomática hasta generar un compromiso catastrófico por arritmias severas, hidrops y muerte. Se describe el caso de una paciente primigestante, de 25 años de edad, remitida por masa cardiaca fetal, en cuyo feto y mediante ecografía se le encontraron imágenes ecogénicas en el ventrículo izquierdo, adheridas al septo, sin compromiso hemodinámico. Al nacer, la resonancia evidenció nódulos subependimarios bilaterales. Se decidió tratar con anticonvulsivantes. Discusión: El rabdomioma corresponde al 60% de los tumores cardiacos fetales, y le siguen en frecuencia los teratomas y los fibromas. Los factores de riesgo asociados se desconocen. El diagnóstico se apoya en una visión de 4 cámaras. El pronóstico depende del compromiso. Conclusiones: Las arritmias severas y el hidrops pueden conducir a muerte fetal como consecuencia del rabdomioma cardiaco. Por tanto, se debe llevar a cabo un seguimiento continuo, además de considerar distintos diagnósticos diferenciales. Abstract Rhabdomyomas are rare tumors, even more so when diagnosed in intrauterine life; their prognosis is variable and etiology remains unknown. Their clinical expression in fetal life is asymptomatic until they develop a catastrophic impairment of severe arrhythmias, hydrops and death. We report a case of a 25 year-old primigravid woman, referred for a fetal cardiac mass, in a fetus where an ultrasound revealed left ventricular echogenic focus without hemodynamic impairment. At birth, resonance evidenced bilateral subependymal nodes. Anticonvulsant drugs were the treatment of choice. Discussion: Rhabdomyoma account for 60% of fetal cardiac tumors, followed in frequency by teratomas and fibroids. Associated risk factors are unknown. Diagnosis relies on vision of a 4 D vision camera. Prognosis depends on impairment. Conclusions: Severe arrhythmias and hydrops can lead to fetal death as a consequence of cardiac rhabdomyoma. Thus a constant monitoring must be maintained, as well as considering multiple differential diagnosis.

- Abstract
Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a rare, hereditary, multisystemic disease with a broad phenotypic spectrum. Its management requires the collaboration of multiple specialists. Just as in the paediatric age, the paediatric neurologist takes on special importance; in adulthood, renal involvement is the cause of the greatest morbidity and mortality. There are several recommendations on the general management of patients with TSC but none that focuses on renal involvement. These recommendations respond to the need to provide guidelines to facilitate a better knowledge and diagnostic-therapeutic management of the renal involvement of TSC through a rational use of complementary tests and the correct use of available treatments. Their elaboration has been based on consensus within the hereditary renal diseases working group of the SEN/REDINREN (Spanish Society of Nephrology/Kidney Research Network). It has also counted on the participation of non-nephrologist specialists in TSC in order to expand the vision of the disease., (Copyright © 2019. Published by Elsevier España, S.L.U.)

INTRODUCCIÓN. Se describen las características ecocardiográficas de los tumores cardíacos primarios en el feto y la evolución y complicaciones de éstos, con el propósito de analizar su comportamiento en dos períodos diferentes a lo largo de 20 años. MÉTODOS. El estudio se desarrolló en dos etapas. En la primera se estudiaron 1,884 embarazadas entre las 18 y 22 semanas de gestación, que acudieron a la consulta por distintos factores de riesgo obstétrico. La técnica utilizada fue la misma empleada internacionalmente, con equipos Combison 320-5 y Aloka 860 con transductores electrónicos de 3,5 y 5 MHz, y Doppler codificado en color, para el estudio de los flujos intracavitarios y los gradientes de presión. RESULTADOS. Se identificaron 6 tumores cardíacos, lo que representó el 0,3 % de los casos examinados. Cinco correspondieron a rabdomiomas, y uno, a un mixoma de la aurícula derecha. La mayoría obstruía los tractos de entrada o salida. Se observó arritmia en un caso. La sensibilidad y especificidad fueron del 100 % y 99,8 %, respectivamente. CONCLUSIONES. Se demuestra la poca frecuencia de los tumores cardíacos en el feto y la importancia de la ecocardiografía por su alta sensibilidad y especificidad.INTRODUCTION: Echocardiographic features of fetal primary heart tumors are described, as well as its natural history and its complications to analyze its behavior during two different periods along 20 years. METHODS: Study was developed in two stages. In the first one a total of 1,884 pregnants between 18 and 22 gestational weeks were studied who were seen in consultation due to different obstetric risk factors. The technique applied was similar to that at worldwide using a equipment Combison 320-5 and Aloka 860 and electronic transducers of 3,5 and 5 MHz, and color coded Doppler to study the intracavitary flux and the pressure gradient. RESULTS: Six cardiac tumors were identified representing the 0,3% of study cases. Five were rhabdomyosarcomas, and one was a right atrium myxoma. Most blockade the inlet and outlet tracts. There was an arrhythmia in a case. Sensibility and specificity rates were of 100% and 99,8%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: It was shown the poor frequency of fetal cardiac tumors and the significance of echocardiography by its high sensibility and specificity rate.

Introducción: Los tumores cardíacos primarios son muy poco frecuentes en la edad pediátrica, y su incidencia varía entre el 0,0017 y el 0,28 %. Más del 90 % son de naturaleza benigna. La variedad más frecuente es el rabdomioma, asociado en más del 60 % de los casos con esclerosis tuberosa. Material y métodos: Se realizó un análisis retrospectivo de historias clínicas con diagnóstico de tumor cardíaco primario entre marzo de 1977 y marzo de 2007, y se encontró a un total de 27 pacientes. Resultados: La edad de diagnóstico inicial es más frecuente en el período neonatal, a partir del hallazgo de un soplo cardíaco (11 casos). No hubo diferencias en la distribución por sexos. En 14 pacientes se encontró cardiomegalia en la radiografía de tórax. De acuerdo con las características ecocardiográficas, se diagnosticaron 20 rabdomiomas, 2 fibromas, 2 teratomas pericárdicos y 3 tumores no clasificables. La mayor parte se localizaron en el ventrículo izquierdo. Además de la ecocardiografía, se realizó cateterismo cardíaco en 3 casos y angiorresonancia en 5 casos. Durante su evolución se constataron episodios de arritmias en 11 pacientes. En 5 se requirió algún tipo de procedimiento quirúrgico, en los que se obtuvo el diagnóstico anatomopatológico. La mortalidad inicial de causa cardiológica fue de 3 pacientes. El 75 % de casos con rabdomiomas presentaba o desarrolló esclerosis tuberosa. En la mayoría de los rabdomiomas (13 casos) se produjo regresión espontánea. Conclusiones: En primer lugar, se evidencia la baja prevalencia de esta patología en la infancia. El rabdomioma es el tumor cardíaco primario más frecuente y en nuestro estudio se asoció en el 75 % de los casos a esclerosis tuberosa. El diagnóstico es más frecuente en el período neonatal precoz tras la auscultación de un soplo cardíaco y la ecocardiografía, la técnica diagnóstica de elección, mientras que no se ha encontrado utilidad de otras técnicas de imagen, como la angiorresonancia, para su diagnóstico en la población infantil. La aparición de la ecocardiografía fetal permite descubrirlos precozmente. El curso es benigno en la mayoría de los tumores, con tendencia a la regresión espontánea en los rabdomiomas. Debe vigilarse la aparición de arritmias durante su evolución, que precisará tratamiento médico. La cirugía es necesaria en los casos con síntomas graves, debidos a obstrucción en los tractos de salida ventricular. Una opción quirúrgica es el transplante cardíaco en caso de tumores irresecables con riesgo vital. : Introduction: Primary cardiac tumours are very rare in the paediatric age, their incidence varies from 0.0017 % to 0.28 %. More than 90 % are benign in nature. The most common vari-ety is the rhabdomyoma, present in over 60 % of cases with tuberous sclerosis. Material and methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of medical records with a diagnosis of primary cardiac tumor between March 1977 and March 2007, finding a total of 27 patients. Results: The age of initial diagnosis is more prevalent in the neonatal period, beginning with the discovery of a heart murmur (11 cases). There was no difference in gender dis-tribution. In 14 patients were found cardiomegaly on chest radiograph. According to the echocardiography characteristics there were diagnosed 20 rhabdomyomas, 2 fibromas, 2 pericardial teratomas and 3 non classifiable tumours. Most were located in the left ventricle. Echocardiography, cardiac catheterization was also performed in 3 cases and angioresonance in 5 cases. During their evolution, episodes of arrhythmias were observed in 11 patients, 5 patients required some sort of surgical procedure, which confirmed the histopathology diagnosis. In 3 patients the initial cause of death was cardiological. The 75 % of cases with rhabdomyomas presented or developed tuberous sclerosis. In most of the rhabdomyomas (13 cases), there was a spontaneous regression. Conclusions: Firstly, there is shown to be a low prevalence of this disorder in children. Rhabdomyoma is the most common primary cardiac tumour in our study and it was associated in 75 % of cases with tuberous sclerosis. The diagnosis is more common in the early neonatal period after auscultation of a cardiac murmur and echocardiography, the diagnostic technique of choice, other imaging techniques, such as angioMRI not being of much for diagnosis in children. The emergence of foetal echocardiography allows early de-tection. The course is benign in most tumours, rhabdomyomas tending to regress spontaneously. It must be monitored as the occurrence of arrhythmias during its evolution will require medical treatment. Surgery is needed in cases with severe symptoms, due to obstruction in the ventricular output tracts. One option is the surgical cardiac transplant in non-resectable life-threatening tumours.

INTRODUCCIÓN: El complejo esclerosis tuberosa (TSC) es el prototipo de malformación relacionada con alteraciones en la diferenciación y el crecimiento celular de fenotipos variables con implicaciones sistémicas. OBJETIVO: caracterizar y describir el TSC para facilitar el entendimiento de las neurodermatosis en la población Colombiana. MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS:la información fue extraída a partir de búsquedas practicadas en las bases de datos MEDLINE, en BIOSIS y en EMBASE desde 1966, 1994 y 1974, respectivamente, hasta el 1 de Marzo de 2011, usando la plataforma OVID y múltiples términos clave. Se diseñaron estrategias adicionales para las bases de datos LILACS, Best Evidence y CINHAL con criterios similares. También se recopilaron datos obtenidos de sociedades científicas relacionadas con el tema en estudio. RESULTADOS:los criterios diagnósticos han permanecido inmodificados a pesar de que el estudio molecular permite caracterizar la enfermedad. El entendimiento de la patogénesis del TSC ha favorecido el desarrollo de opciones terapéuticas contra blancos moleculares que se encuentran alterados. La vía mTOR explica la mayor parte de las alteraciones fenotípicas en pacientes con TSC. CONCLUSIÓN:El documento del Consorcio Colombiano para el Estudio de las Neurodermatosis muestra una revisión integral del conocimiento respecto del diagnóstico y tratamiento del TSC. INTRODUCTION: The Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) is the mainstay of malformation related to alterations in cellular growth and differentiation, with highly variable phenotypes, and systemic impact. OBJETIVES: To characterize and describe TSC to facilitate understanding of the neurodermatosis in the Colombian population. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Information was obtained from searches performed in MEDLINE, BIOSIS, and EMBASE from 1966, 1994 and 1974, respectively, until March 1, 2011, using the OVID platform and multiple key terms. Additional strategies were designed for other databases like LILACS, CINAHL and Best Evidence using similar criteria. We also collected data from scientific societies related to the topic under study. RESULTS: the diagnostic criteria have not been modified instead molecular characterizations leads to a better understanding of the disease. The characterization of pathogenesis leads to the development of target therapies against those molecular alterations. mTOR pathway explains phenotypic alterations in patients suffering of TSC. CONCLUSION: the document of the Colombian Consensus for the Neurodermathosis, wants to show an integral review of the knowledge about the development, diagnosis and treatment of TSC.

Introducción: La esclerosis tuberosa (ET) es una anomalía genética, multisistémica, susceptible de originar tumores del sistema nervioso central. Las crisis epilépticas son manifestaciones comunes y constituyen el principal problema terapéutico. Objetivo: Describir las características epilépticas de los pacientes pediátricos con diagnóstico de complejo de esclerosis tuberosa (CET), controlados en el Servicio de Neurología Pediátrica del Instituto Autónomo Hospital Universitario de Los Andes. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional, retrospectivo, tipo serie de casos con ET y Epilepsia. Se describió sexo, edad de diagnóstico e inicio de crisis, motivo de consulta, tipo de crisis epiléptica, hallazgos electroencefalográficos y de imagen, asociación a trastornos conductuales, severidad de compromiso intelectual y manifestaciones dermatológicas. Resultados: Doce pacientes cumplieron criterios diagnósticos de CET, 10 (83%) fueron epilépticos, de éstos el 50% cursó con epilepsia de difícil control, 60% tuvo crisis parciales, 40% generalizadas. El 100% mostró alteraciones electroencefalográficas, 30% con patrón hipsarrítmico. 50% tenían alteraciones estructurales, tipo túber cortical en 80%. En 70% se controlaron las crisis con Acido Valpróico y en un caso se requirió dieta cetogénica estricta. El signo extraneurológico más constante fueron máculas hipocrómicas (100%). Conclusión: Aunque las convulsiones no forman parte de los criterios diagnósticos, son el motivo más frecuente de consulta, que en asociación con máculas hipocrómicas, hace sospechar diagnóstico de ET. La variedad, refractariedad e inicio temprano de crisis requieren en muchos casos politerapia para el control, lo cual favorece el pronóstico del paciente. Introduction Tuberous sclerosis (TS) is a genetic, multisystemic, likely to cause central nervous system tumors. Seizures are common manifestations are the main therapeutic problem. Objetive: To describe the epileptic characteristics, of pediatric patients with diagnosed with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), controlled in the Pediatric Neurology Department University Hospital Institute of Los Andes. Methods: was performed an observational, retrospective, case series, with ET and Epilepsy. Described: sex, age of the diagnosis and initiation of crisis, reason for visit, seizure type, electroencephalographic findings and images, behavioral disorders, severity of intellectual engagement and dermatologic manifestations. Results: Twelve patients met the criteria diagnostic CET, 10 (83%) were epileptic, of these 50% passed with epilepsy of difficult control. 60% had partial seizures (40%) generalized. The 100% showed EEG abnormalities, hypsarrhythmic pattern 30% . The 50% of cases had structural abnormalities, 80% cortical tuber type. In 70% was achieved crisis control with valproic acid and in one case was required strict ketogenic diet .The extraneurological sign more constant were the hypochromic macules (100%). Conclusion: Although seizures are not part of the diagnostic criteria, are the most frequent reason for consultation in partnership with hypochromic macules to suspect a diagnosis of ET. The variety, refractoriness and early onset of crisis, often require polytherapy to control, which favors the patient's prognosis.

Introducción: La esclerosis tuberosa (ET) es una enfermedad sistémica, de herencia autosómica dominante, ocasionada por mutaciones en dos genes (TSC1 y TSC2), que causan la aparición de tumores (angiolipomas [AML], angiofibromas, astrocitomas, etc.). La proliferación inadecuada y constante que existe en la ET puede ser bloqueada por inhibidores de la kinasa mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin), como la rapamicina. Material y métodos: Se han incluido 17 pacientes afectados de ET y, al menos, un AML mayor de 2 cm de diámetro diagnosticado por resonancia magnética (RM). Han recibido tratamiento con rapamicina durante 12 meses. Los niveles plásmáticos se han mantenido entre 4 y 8 ng/dl. El tamaño del AML se ha monitorizado semestralmente mediante RM abdominal. Resultados: A los 12 meses de la inclusión, con la RM se ha objetivado una disminución del tamaño del AML en todos los pacientes incluidos, mostrando una reducción de, al menos, un 50% en el 82,4% (14/17; intervalo de confianza [IC] 95% [56,57%, 96,20%]). El porcentaje medio de reducción fue del 66,3% (IC95 [56,9%, 75,6%]; p

Los rabdomiomas cardiacos son tumores benignos dependientes de las fibras musculares miocárdicas, los cuales usualmente son múltiples, pero tienden a disminuir tanto en número como en tamaño con el crecimiento, con una regresión espontánea en 90% de los casos. Hacen parte de los tumores cardiacos primarios, los cuales son poco frecuentes, con una incidencia que varía entre 0,0017% y 0,28%. El más frecuente de los tumores cardiacos primarios es el rabdomioma. Se describe asociación con esclerosis tuberosa hasta en 72% de los casos, razón por la cual ésta debe buscarse ante el hallazgo de rabdomioma cardiaco. Cardiac rhabdomyomas are benign tumors derived from cardiac muscle fibers. They are usually multiple, but tend to decrease both in number and size with growth, with spontaneous regression in 90% of cases. These lesions are part of the primary cardiac tumors, which are uncommon, and have a variable incidence between 0.0017 and 0.28%. The most common primary cardiac tumor is the rhabdomyoma. An association between rhabdomyoma and tuberous sclerosis has been described in up to 72% of cases. For this reason, a patient with cardiac rhabdomyoma should be investigated for tuberous sclerosis.

Objetivo: Presentar un caso de angiomiolipoma (AML) variante epitelioide, primario renal, su asociación con Esclerosis Tuberosa (ET) y revisión de la literatura. Métodos: Presentamos el caso de un paciente varón de 12 años con antecedente de retardo en el desarrollo psicomotor, crisis epilépticas tónico clónicas y estigmas cutáneos, todo esto compatible con ET. Debuta con hematuria macroscópica y dolor abdominal, encontrándose en la tomografía tumor que compromete dos tercios superiores del riñón izquierdo. Fue sometido a nefrectomía radical izquierda. La anatomía patológica, corroborada con estudios de inmunohistoquímica informó la presencia de AML, variante epiteliode. Se reviso la bibliográfica existente sobre esta variante poco común y su comportamiento maligno. Resultados: La presencia de la variante epitelial es poco frecuente pero debe tenerse en cuenta por su comportamiento maligno y por lo tanto diferente pronóstico y seguimiento comparado al AML clásico. Conclusiones: El AML renal es un tumor benigno, poco común, que representa un reto para el diagnóstico clínico e histopatológico. A pesar del gran tamaño que puede alcanzar, la bilateralidad, la multiplicidad de las lesiones y/o el compromiso linfático regional, no se ha demostrado su potencial maligno. Sin embargo, en los últimos años se ha descrito la variante epitelioide, entidad rara de comportamiento agresivo, difícil caracterización histológica y pobre pronóstico. Objective: We present a case of primary renal epithelioid angiomyolipoma, its association with tuberous sclerosis and review the literature. Methods: We present the case of a 12 year-old male with past medical history of tuberous sclerosis, characterized by developmental delay, tonic and clonic seizures, and cutaneous abnormalities. He presented with macroscopic hematuria and abdominal pain. CT scan of the abdomen showed the presence of a left renal tumor. He underwent left radical nephrectomy. Pathologic study of the specimen showed primary renal epithelioid angiomyolipoma, corroborated by immunohistochemistry staining. Review of the literature was performed for this rare variant and its malignant potential. Results: The presence of this epithelial variant is rare and must be taken into account because of its malignant potential and, thus, with different prognosis and follow up, compared to classical angiomyolipoma. Conclusions: Renal angiomyolipoma is an uncommon benign tumor, representing a challenge for clinical and pathological diagnosis. Despite the big size they can reach, as well as bilaterality, multiplicity of lesions and/or lymphatic regional involvement, its malignant potential has not been established. Nevertheless, the epithelioid variant has been described recently, a rare entity with aggressive behavior, difficult histological characterization and poor prognosis.

La esclerosis tuberosa es una anomalía congénita del desarrollo embrionario que se transmite de forma autosómica dominante caracterizada por la presencia por trastornos neurológicos, cutáneos o dermatológicos, y retraso mental. Se pueden afectar otros órganos y sistemas, y dar manifestaciones orofaciales. La lesión a nivel del esmalte dental constituye la lesión intraoral más frecuente. Rara vez se pueden encontrar lesiones óseas en los maxilares. El fibroma desmoplásico es un infrecuente tumor fibroso intraóseo localmente agresivo de lento crecimiento, que se asocia muy rara vez a la esclerosis tuberosa. Presentamos el caso clínico de un paciente de 33 años afecto de esclerosis tuberosa con una lesión en la mandíbula diagnosticada como fibroma desmoplásico. Se discuten los métodos diagnósticos, presentación clínica y tratamiento. Tuberous sclerosis is a congenital anomaly of embryonic development with an autosomal dominant inheritance. It is characterized by the presence of neurologic and dermatologic disorders and mental retardation. It can affect other organs and systems and produce orofacial manifestations. Dental enamel defects are the most frequent intraoral lesion. Bone lesions rarely occur in the upper jaw. Desmoplastic fibroma is an infrequent, slow-growing, locally aggressive intraosseous fibrous tumor that rarely is associated with tuberous sclerosis. We report the clinical case of a 33-year-old man with tuberous sclerosis and a jaw lesion diagnosed as desmoplastic fibroma. The diagnostic methods, clinical presentation, and treatment are discussed.

Many diseases can be associated with kidney cysts and they may be classified as hereditary and non-hereditary renal cystic disease. The first group can be sub-classified as autosomal recessive cystic disease, such as autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease and nephronophthisis, as autosomal dominant kidney disease such as autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, glomerulocystic disease and tuberous sclerosis, and as cysts associated with syndromes. Cystic dysplasia, multicystic dysplastic kidney, simple cyst, multilocular cysts, Wilm's tumor and acquired cystic kidney disease are classified in the second group. The genetic study of renal cysts is becoming increasingly important, due to the possible therapeutic interventions that could be devised in the future. The aim of this review is to provide a fast and easy clinical approach to renal cysts.

Los tumores primarios del corazón son raros. En estudios de autopsias la incidencia puede llegar a ser hasta del 0,002-0,250%; el rabdomioma es el tumor benigno más común (50-78%), y se asocia con esclerosis tuberosa en 72% de los casos.¹ En la gran mayoría, este tumor tiende a regresar. Los síntomas típicos son secundarios a los efectos ocasionados por las alteraciones de la geometría ventricular izquierda (gasto cardíaco y fracción de eyección). El hydrops y las arritmias son, en estos casos, las principales causantes de la muerte repentina. La conducción atrioventricular anormal se debe a la interrupción por parte del tumor, del tejido fino nodal o septal. Los niños afectados tienen una edad de gestación promedio entre 22 a 36 semanas,² y su pronóstico depende en especial de la presencia de arritmias y de esclerosis tuberosa.3 Como tratamiento prenatal se ha intentado el uso de la digital y otros medicamentos. Previa autorización de la paciente, se presenta este caso para ilustrar acerca de las posibilidades de diagnóstico y tratamiento antenatal de esta patología, de rara presentación en la práctica. Primary heart tumours are rare. Overall incidence ranges from 0.002-0.250% in autopsy. Rhabdomyoma is the most common benign tumour (50-78%); it has 72% associated with tuberous sclerosis. This tumour tends to return in most cases. Typical symptoms are secondary to adverse effects caused by left ventricular geometry (cardiac wear and ejection). Hydrops foetalis and arrhythmia often lead to sudden death. Abnormal atrioventricular (AV) conduction is due to a tumour disrupting nodal or septal conduction tissue. Gestational age has ranged from 22 to 36 weeks when diagnosis has been made. Prognosis is frequently associated with arrhythmia and tuberous sclerosis. Prenatal digitalis therapy and other medications have been tried in cases of foetuses suffering from heart failure or arrhythmia. The patient’s prior consent has been given here to report a case of ante-natal diagnosis of cardiac rhabdomyoma to teach the diagnosis and management of foetuses suffering from this rare pathology.

Introduction: Tuberous sclerosis is a rare multisystemic disease with an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. There are few documented cases in the literature of retinal hamartomas (astrocytomas) with aggressive progression in the context of this disease., Case Report: A report is presented on a case of a 31 year-old male with unknown history of ophthalmic or systemic conditions, who referred to a history of 6 months of blurred vision in his right eye. This was caused by a unilateral retinal hamartoma due to an undiagnosed tuberous sclerosis., Discussion: Multidisciplinary management, with the cooperation of Internal Medicine and the Oncology Department, is needed in these cases, as well as genetic counselling for affected patients. Complications are directly related to increased tumour size. Treatment does not seem to have any influence on the natural history of the disease., (Copyright © 2017 Sociedad Española de Oftalmología.
