Presentación de un paciente con diagnóstico de fibroma del ligamento redondo hepático
Abstract
Los tumores del ligamento redondo del hígado son enfermedades poco frecuentes, con escasos reportes en la literatura mundial. Se presentó una paciente de 22 años con un tumor de ligamento redondo hepático, que cursó sin manifestación clínica y se halló de manera fortuita en una ecografía abdominal. Se realizó, además, laparoscopia y tomografía axial computarizada para precisar el diagnóstico preoperatorio. La cirugía tuvo éxito y la conclusión anatomopatológica fue: fibroma del ligamento redondo. La paciente evolucionó de forma satisfactoria en el postoperatorio, a los dos años de la intervención. Los tumores de esta localización parecieron ser de expresión clínica variable, y su diagnóstico fue posible solo por medio de estudios imagenológicos.
Palabras clave: tumor, ligamento redondo, asintomática, laparoscopia.
