Melanoma primario de uretra, un cáncer raro, fue tratado con cirugía e inmunoterapia en una mujer de 54 años. La paciente no mostró recurrencia a los seis meses, lo que resalta la necesidad de atención individualizada.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Oncología
- Urología
- Dermatología
Sus antecedentes:
- El melanoma primario de uretra es un cáncer raro y agresivo.
- El diagnóstico a menudo se retrasa, lo que complica el tratamiento.
- Existe evidencia terapéutica limitada para esta afección.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Informar un caso de melanoma primario de uretra tratado con cirugía y pembrolizumab adyuvante.
- Revisar los aspectos clínicos, moleculares y terapéuticos del melanoma uretral.
- Enfatizar la necesidad de un enfoque multidisciplinario y de más investigación.
Principales métodos:
- Informe de caso de una mujer de 54 años con melanoma uretral.
- El tratamiento incluyó escisión local, re-escisión de márgenes y linfadenectomía inguinal laparoscópica.
- Se administró pembrolizumab adyuvante después de la cirugía.
Principales resultados:
- Evolución favorable sin recurrencia a los seis meses post-tratamiento.
- La escisión quirúrgica inicial jugó un papel crucial.

Procedures for Kidney StonesMedical intervention is necessary when kidney stones or renal calculi are too large to pass spontaneously (typically greater than 5 millimeters) when stones are accompanied by symptomatic infection (such as fever or pyelonephritis), when they impair kidney function, or when they cause persistent symptoms like severe pain, nausea, or urinary retention. Additionally, patients with only one kidney or those who cannot be treated with medical management also require...

The diagnosis of renal calculi involves several imaging techniques, including non-contrast CT scans and ultrasound. These methods help visualize kidney stones, assess their size and location, and detect possible obstructions. Additionally, Measuring urine pH is useful for diagnosing specific stone types, such as struvite (alkaline pH) and uric acid stones (acidic pH). Cystine stones are primarily linked to cystinuria, a genetic condition. A urinalysis helps detect blood in the urine (hematuria)...

Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.

AssessmentSubjective Data: Obtain a detailed health history, including any recent or chronic urinary tract infections, periods of immobilization, previous episodes of renal calculi, and medical conditions such as gout, benign prostatic hyperplasia, or hyperparathyroidism. Review the medication history for drugs that may influence stone formation, including allopurinol, analgesics, loop diuretics, or thiazide diuretics. Document the use of long-term indwelling catheters and any past surgical...

In managing urinary tract infections (UTIs) in nursing, a comprehensive assessment is essential. Begin by gathering subjective data, such as the patient’s complaints of dysuria (painful urination), urinary frequency, urgency, suprapubic pain, and any lower abdominal discomfort. This information can be complemented by questions regarding previous UTIs, sexual activity, and personal hygiene practices, which can provide insight into risk factors. Objective assessment should focus on signs...
