Abstract

Adiposity assessment is a part of the evaluation in coronary artery disease (CAD) prevention. Waist to height ratio (WHtR) is one of adiposity parameter in CAD management guidelines. This cross sectional study enrolled 30 subject with stable CAD undergone elective coronary angiography. Eightyfive subjects has abnormal WHtR (‰¥0,5). Median WHtR is 0,54 with 0,471-0,706 range, and Duke CAD prognostic index with median 37 (range 19-82). Analysis using spearman’s rank correlation show a significant moderate positive correlation (r=0,425; p=0,019) between WHtR and Duke CAD prognostic index. Waist to height ratio could be one of valuable indicator for coronary artery stenosis severity. We conclude that there is a relationship between WHtR and Duke CAD prognostic index.

Abstract

Background: Central nervous system (CNS) tumours affect the quality of life of patients since its neurological deficits. Data from Globocan 2012 reveals that there are 256,000 cases of CNS tumour. Epidemiology of the CNS tumours is very important for diagnosis and treatment, but data in Indonesia is still not fully reported.Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the exact amount of the incidence, histologic type of the tumour and the characteristic of patient in our institution.Methods: This is an observational study, all pathology report of CNS tumours that underwent surgery at Siloam Hospitals Lippo Village from 2011 until 2015. We classified based on gender, age, location of the tumour, and the histologic type according to WHO Classification of CNS tumour 2007.Results and Discussion: There were 913 patients of CNS tumours from 2011 until 2015. The most common tumours were meningioma (32.96%) followed by glioma (21.35%) and pituitary adenoma (16.10%). In meningioma, most occur in women, 41 - 50 years old, located in the frontal region and the most common subtype is transitional meningioma. In glioma, most occur in men, 31 - 40 years old, located in the frontal region and the most common subtype is glioblastoma. In adenoma hipofisis, most occur in men, 41 - 50 years old.Conclusion: The result of this study was accordance with the literature so this data could be a reference for further research.

Abstract

Pericardial effusion is considered as one of criteria to diagnose systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) based on American Rheumatism Association (ARA) criteria. There is limited data about the incidence and characteristic pericardial effusion in SLE patients in our country. The aim of this study is to report and assess the incidence of and characteristic heart involvement in SLE. This is cross-sectional study conducted in secondary referral hospital in Tangerang county, west part of Jakarta, capital city of Indonesia. We evaluated from medical record and echocardiogram data from 2013-2015 patients diagnosed with SLE according to ARA criteria. From 33 SLE medical records reviewed, we found 13 patients (40%) with pericardial effusions. All patients were in active stage. Clinical assessment and transthoracic echocardiogram were used to diagnose pericardial effusions. Eighty percent pericardial effusion positive patients had minimal effusion. The others had moderate effusion. No tamponade patients were recorded. Ninety six percent patients were female with median age 24(13-51) years old. Three patients were reported having pulmonary arterial hypertension. One patient had thrombus in left ventricle. All patients had clinical symptoms of cardiac such as heart failure and chest pain. For the conclusion, the incidence of pericardial effusion in SLE patient was 40 percent. Eighty percent patients had minimal effusion. All patients had cardiac symptoms related.

Abstract

Background: Hydatidiform mole or commonly known as molar pregnancy is one of the gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) caused by an abnormal trophoblast proliferation. About 50% of gestational trophoblast neoplasm (GTN) arises from molar pregnancy. Higher risk of GTN was found in older patient, especially women age ‰¥40 years old. Management of hydatidiform mole is often faced come challenges, especially in developing country like Indonesia. Although, suction curettage is the most recommended treatment for the evacuation of molar pregnancy, hysterectomy is considerable for women who have completed childbirth and do not wish to preserve their fertility.Case: Here we present case of 48 years old women with hydatidiform mole. Considering the age of the patient and the completion of her childbearing, we decided to do a laparotomy total abdominal hysterectomy for the evacuation of the mole instead of suction curettage. Turned out that this patient had an invasive mole, one of the types of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia.Conclusion: Although suction curettage is the most frequent technique for molar evacuation, hysterectomy is a reasonable option as primary treatment to be performed in older patients and for those who do not wish to preserve their fertility. The other important points such as socio-economic status, education level, and geographical issues should be considered also on managing older patients with hydatidiform mole in developing countries

Abstract

En plaque meningioma is at frontal region is difficult to be differentiated from osteoma, based on CT scan only. En plaque meningioma represents in 2-9% of all meningioma cases. Usually en plaque meningioma grows on the sphenoid wing, whereas only 1 % grows on the frontal and temporal bone. This case is female 37 year- old who presents with chronic headache and huge lump on her right forehead that she believes it slowly enlarges for the last 5 years. The Computerized Tomography scan (CT scan) shows thickening of the right fronto-temporal bone (3-4 cm) with the diameter of 12 cm and bony hard. Initial impression suggests it could be osteoma or fibrous dysplasia. After the MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) with contrast, it shows a carpet like tumor underline the thickening bone, and it suggest an en plaque meningioma. For en plaque meningioma, we have to remove the abnormal duramater. We suggest that for a case with a wide thickening calvarian bone, it’s better to get the MRI of the head with contrast.

Abstract

Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC) is an acquired pathological syndrome, featured by a hypercoagulable state, bleeding symptoms, and multiple organ failure. Based by these very distinct features, DIC is classified into four types namely Bleeding type, Organ failure type, Massive bleeding type, and Asymptomatic type. Diagnosing DIC is a challenge to the health practitioner, considering that DIC is a multifactorial syndrome, which always is a complication of some underlying diseases. To diagnose DIC, it is necessary to do a comprehensive evaluation of clinical symptoms and laboratory results. The necessary laboratory results include platelets count, fibrin degradation products (FDPs), fibrinogen, and PT-aPTT.

Abstract

Introduction: Breast cancer can be classified into luminal A, luminal B, Her2+, dan basal-like molecular subtype according to genetic profile and immunophenotype. The aim of this study is to assess histopathologic and immunophenotype characteristics of breast cancer in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital Jakarta, Indonesia.Material and methods: This study is a cross-sectional retrospective study. The sample was 2632 breast cancer case in Department of Anatomical Pathology Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital from the year 2011 until 2015. ER, PR, Her2, Top2 α, and Ki67 immunohistochemical stain was then grouped into luminal A (ER+/PR+/Her2-/Ki67<20%) subtype, luminal B (ER+/PR+/Her2-/Ki67‰¥20%) subtype, Her2+ (ER-/PR-/Her2+) subtype, and basal-like (ER-/PR-/Her2-) subtype. Kendall’s Tau analysis was done to assess association between sample characteristics and molecular subtype, association between top2α positive and molecular subtype.Result: The most prevalent to the less prevalent breast cancer molecular subtype was luminal B (43,9%), Her2+ (14,6%), luminal A (14,0%), and basal-like (11,3%). There was a significant association between the tumor stage and breast cancer subtype (p=0,0001). There is also a significant association between Top2α expression and molecular subtype (p=0,0001).Conclusion: The most prevalent breast cancer molecular subtype was luminal B. There was an association between breast cancer molecular subtype and a higher degree and Top2α expression.

Abstract

Background: Maternal infection with rubella in the first trimester of pregnancy result in congenital rubella syndrome (CRS). It caused blindness, deafness, congenital heart dissease and mental retardation. One of the main cause of blindness in CRS is congenital cataract. Infant affected with CRS worldwide estimated 238.000 each year and 46.000 live in South East Asia.Objective: This study aimed to looked for other ocular and non ocular manifestation from 0-11months old congenital cataract infants based on World Health Organization (WHO) CRS case definiton: suspected, clinically confirmed and labaratory confirmed.Methods:This is a retrospective observational study. We colected all data from computer base medical record, patient with congenital cataract 0-11 months old that came to Pediatric Ophthalmology unit Cicendo Eye Hospital from January 2012 until December 2013. Age, sex, laterality, axial length, cataract morphology, retinopathy pigmentary, cardiac dissorder, hearing impairment, mental dissorder and laboratory serology rubella for IgM and IgG were recorded.Results: We found ninety three patients diagnosed with CRS from congenital cataract cases. Ocular manifestation include microphthalmia in 63 eyes (33.9%), microcornea in 30 eyes (16.1%), and pigmentary retinopathy in 1 eye (0.5%) . The most common type of cataract morphology was nuclear type (49.9%.). Non-ocular manifestation include cardiac dissorder in 16 cases (17.2%), hearing impairment in 1 case (1.1%) and mental retardation in 6 cases (6.4%). Case definition based on WHO criteria were 93 cases (100%) for suspected, 20 cases (25.8%) for clinically confirmed and 15 cases (42,8%) for laboratory confirmed.Conclusion: Ocular manifestation for CRS in congenital cataract 0-11 months old were microphthalmia, microcornea, pigmentary retinopathy. Other manifestation found were cardiac disorder, hearing impairment and mental retardation.

Abstract

Peritoneal Malignant Mesothelioma (PMM) is uncommon disease, but increasing in frequency nowadays. This highly aggressive malignancy occurs most commonly in older men and has a strong association with asbestos exposure. It manifests most often as diffuse sheet-like or nodular thickening of the peritoneal surfaces, but it may occasionally be a localized mass. The very large variations of its clinical features and its histological appearance mimicking adenocarcinoma make this tumor is difficult to diagnose.We report a case of PMM that previously diagnose as adenocarcinoma of the ovary. A 29 year-old female came to gynecology clinic with para-ovarian mass. She had no history of asbestos exposure. The mass was oval 9x6x6 cm in size, whitish and firm. Microscopic features showed papillary dense structure with desmoplastic stroma, covered by a layer of cuboidal to columnar cells. The cells with mild pleomorphism and hyperchromatic nuclei, mitotic figures were minimal. The immunohistochemistry tests revealed positive for D2-40, Calretinin, CK8 and CK 18, weakly positive for Inhibin and EMA, and negative for CEA and AFP. Patient had been received chemotherapy, there were no metastasis.

Abstract

Pituitary adenoma contributes to 15% of all intracranial neoplasm. It is usually following benign course and some of them are silent (asymptomatic clinically, but hormone-secreting). Silent adenoma usually found incidentally or when the patients show mass effect (neurological deficits). Many of histologically aggressive silent adenoma subtypes are associated with invasiveness, recurrence and progression to clinically functioning adenomas. Aggressive silent adenoma radiologically tends to invade in downward direction, invading bone, sinus cavernosus, parasellar region. The nature of aggressive silent adenoma subtypes is differing in nature compared to benign nature of pituitary adenoma and should be confirmed immunohistochemically to determine the prognosis and anticipate the risk of recurrence or progression. The case illustration show a real case of 46 years old female progressive headache and visual disturbance diagnosed with non-functional pituitary macroadenoma but positive for more than one immunochemistry biomarker (plurihormonal aggressive silent adenoma).
