Resumen
Introducción

Las neoplasias de la cabeza y el cuello pueden invadir los vasos cervicales. La mayoría son del área otorrinolaringológica y, excepcionalmente, de partes blandas. El tratamiento incluye su extirpación con resección y reconstrucción vascular. Se presenta un caso de angioleiomiosarcoma carotídeo.

Caso clínico

Mujer de 48 años con tumo-ración laterocervical derecha de consistencia sólida y dura y de crecimiento progresivo, adherida al tiroides, que desplaza el paquete vasculonervioso del cuello y comprime la vena yugular interna. En una primera intervención se extirpa un tumor encapsulado que se extiende desde el espacio retroclavicular hasta el ángulo mandibular; dicho tumor se considera un angioleiomioma. Tres años más tarde se produce una recidiva tumoral, y la paciente es intervenida de nuevo, pues es necesario seccionar la arteria carótida primitiva infiltrada y realizar una anastomosis terminoterminal (con la colaboración del Servicio de Cirugía Vascular). La biopsia revela un nuevo angioleiomioma con un aumento del índice mitótico. Un año después la paciente presenta una gigantesca masa cervical y es de nuevo intervenida conjuntamente por el Servicio de Cirugía Maxilofacial y el Servicio de Cirugía Vascular. Debido al englobamiento carotídeo, se reseca en bloque toda la lesión con la interposición de un injerto de dacron terminoterminal desde la arteria carótida primitiva proximal hasta la bifurcación carotídea. El informe anatomopatológico comunica angioleiomiosarcoma.

Conclusión

La colaboración de especialistas en cirugía vascular en intervenciones complejas de tumores cervicales puede permitir resecciones más amplias seguidas de reconstrucción vascular, y evitar así recidivas y mejorar el pronóstico.

Summary
Introduction

Neoplasias of the head and neck can lead to invasion of the cervical vessels. Most of these occur in the ORL area and are, exceptionally, soft tissue tumours. Treatment involves removal with resection and vascular reconstruction. We report a case of carotid angioleiomyosarcoma.

Case report

A 48-year-old female with a slow-growing, hard, solid tumour on the right side of the neck which was attached to the thyroid gland and displaced the neurovascular bundle of the neck and compressed the internal jugular vein. In the first intervention an encapsulated tumour that ran from the retroclavicular space to the mandibular angle was removed; this tumour was considered to be an angioleiomyoma. Three years later, a tumour reappeared, and the patient was submitted to surgery again, since it was necessary to perform the section of the primitive carotid artery under anaesthesia and also an end-to-end anastomosis (with the collaboration of the Vascular Surgery Service). A biopsy study revealed a new angioleiomyoma with an increased mitotic index. A year later the patient presented with a huge cervical mass and was newly submitted to surgery carried out by a joint team from the Maxillofacial Surgery and the Vascular Surgery Services. Due to the carotid ballooning, the whole lesion was excised and an end-to-end dacron graft was placed from the proximal primitive carotid artery to the carotid bifurcation. Pathological report: angioleiomyosarcoma.

Conclusions

The collaboration between specialists in vascular surgery in complex procedures carried out to treat cervical tumours can make it possible to perform wider resections followed by vascular reconstruction, thus preventing recurrences and improve the patient's prognosis.
