Abstract(s)
Introdução: Os linfomas não Hodgkin constituem um grupo variável de neoplasias do sistema linforreticular que por vezes podem ser difíceis de diagnosticar. Neste caso clínico apresenta-se um tipo raro de linfoma, com forma de apresentação rara, em que o médico de família teve um papel importante no diagnóstico.
Descrição de caso: Homem de 73 anos que inicialmente se apresenta com tumefação supra-orbitária e queixas de sensação de pressão ocular, sem outros sintomas. É avaliado por oftalmologia, sendo considerado que as tumefações resultariam de tecido adiposo. Após agravamento de tumefação orbitária, surgimento de edema dos lábios e adenopatias cervicais suspeitou-se de doença linfoproliferativa. O utente é referenciado para consulta de medicina interna e chega-se ao diagnóstico de linfoma de células do Manto, após excisão e análise histológica de adenopatia.
Comentário: Este caso clínico ilustra a dificuldade no diagnóstico que pode acarretar um linfoma não Hodgkin, dada a sua grande variabilidade de apresentações. O acompanhamento do doente ao longo das várias consultas foi essencial para se colocar a hipótese de diagnóstico de doença linfoproliferativa.
Introduction: The non-Hodgkin's lymphomas are a diverse group of neoplasms of the lymphoreticular system. The diagnosis is often difficult. In this case report we present a rare type of lymphoma, with a rare form of presentation, in which the family doctor had an important role to play in collating clinical information to make the diagnosis. Case report: A 73-year-old man initially presented with supraorbital swelling and a complaint of pressure in the eye, without other symptoms. An ophthalmologist evaluated the patient and considered that the swelling arose from adipose tissue. After worsening of the orbital swelling and the appearance of swelling of the lips and cervical adenopathy, a lymphoproliferative disease was suspected. The patient was sent for an internal medicine consultation and the diagnosis of mantle cell lymphoma was made after excisional biopsy of a lymph node. Comment: This case shows some of the difficulty encountered in diagnosing a non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, given great variability in their presentations. Close follow-up of the patient during numerous consultations was essential to make the diagnosis of a lymphoproliferative disease.
