Avaliação linfocintilográfica dos linfedemas dos membros inferiores: correlação com achados clínicos em 34 pacientes

Abstract: OBJETIVO: Correlacionar a localização das alterações clínicas de portadores de linfedema com as dos achados linfocintilográficos. MÉTODO: Foram avaliados 34 pacientes com linfedema dos membros inferiores atendidos no Setor de Linfologia da Disciplina de Cirurgia Vascular da Faculdade de Medicina do ABC. As linfocintilografias com imagens adquiridas em dois tempos - 20 minutos e 3 horas - foram analisadas quanto aos seguintes parâmetros: vasos linfáticos, refluxo dérmico, circulação colateral, linfonodos poplít… Show more

“…Lymphedema is a chronic disease characterized by the retention of high protein interstitial fluid, resulting from insufficient lymphatic drainage caused by congenital and/or acquired anomalies of the lymphatic system 5,11 In the beginning, the edema is mild, soft and depressible at compression, but as the disease progresses, it becomes hard and non-depressible 6,12 Chronically, this increased limb size can cause significant deformities, disability and, in extreme cases, elephantiasis. Besides that, it can undergo malignant transformation 6 .…”

“…Regarding its etiology, it can be classified as primary and secondary, according to the classification of Kinmonth et al 4 . Primary lymphedema results from congenital alterations of lymphatic vessels, whereas secondary lymphedema results from acquired alterations that occur after infections, trauma, operations, radiotherapy, chronic venous insufficiency, among other causes 4,5 . The exact prevalence of lymphatic disorders has not been well defined in the literature, due to the scarcity of epidemiological data, although its occurrence is largely underestimated in clinical practice.…”

“…Lymphoscintigraphy is the accepted standard for assessing the anatomy of the lymphatic system, 27 and it is commonly indicated to map the area of lymphatic drainage. Technetium-99m is widely used and marked with radiocolloids, with dextran 500 being the most appropriate colloid due to its good performance and ideal particle size.…”

“…Fonte: Imagem cedida pelo paciente (2021) Na figura 2 observa-se um laudo do exame de preventivo do colo do útero realizado em 2001, apresentando alterações dos padrões de normalidade, com a presença de células escamosas atípicas, podendo conter lesões intraepiteliais escamosas de alto grau ou mesmo lesão escamosa invasiva e presença de flora bacteriana atípica. Apesar da amostra analisada apresentar esfregaço hemorrágico, em torno de 50% dos campos microscópicos, foi considerada satisfatória para avaliação oncológica.…”
