Nodulo solido muslo
Paciente masculino, 20 años de edad, jugador de baloncesto. Hace dos semanas, mientras practicaba, comenzó a notar dolor en cara antero-interna del muslo derecho, en su tercio inferior. Al tocarse , notó pequeño nódulo doloroso en la zona. El examen sonografico con transductor de foco corto ( 10.0 MHz ) muestra nódulo solido, hipo-ecogenico, de limites pobremente definidos, localizado inmediatamente por debajo de la fascia anterior del musculo cuádriceps derecho, en su tercio inferior, mide aprox 2,10 X 1,85 X 1,32 cm. Lo mas preocupante del caso es que el Doppler Color muestra intenso flujo en la zona mas posterior del nódulo, lo cual sugiere lesión maligna, tipo miosarcoma ( rhabdomyosarcoma por ser lesión de musculo estriado ) , por tal motivo se indica biopsia. El padre tuvo lesión maligna , que fue extirpada. .
Male patient, 20 years old basketball player. Two weeks ago, while practicing, he began to notice pain in the anterior inner right thigh, in the lower third. When touched, I notice a small painful lump in the area. The sonographic examination with short focus transducer (10.0 MHz) shows solid nodule, hypo-echogenic, poorly defined boundary, located immediately below the anterior fascia of the right quadriceps muscle in the lower third, measures approx 2.10 X 1,85 X 1.32 cm. The most worrying thing is that the shows intense Color Doppler flow in the most posterior region of the nodule, suggesting malignancy, myosarcoma type (rhabdomyosarcoma being striated muscle injury), for this reason, a biopsy is indicated. The father had a malignant lesion that was removed.
