The aim of this study is to report the control of lymphorrhea in the intensive treatment of elephantiasis, using an Unna boot. The case of a 29-year-old female patient is reported. This young patient evolved with the more serious form of lymphedema, elephantiasis, after surgical treatment of an abdominal neoplasm and radiotherapy. Warty excrescences were present on both legs and genitalia where lymphorrhea was constant. The patient arrived at the Godoy's Clinic for treatment. She was weighed and perimetric evaluations were made at the start of treatment and thereafter every day during an intensive outpatient treatment of eight hours daily for three weeks. Treatment included manual lymph drainage, mechanical lymph drainage using the RA Godoy device, and the continuous use of compression stockings with adjustments made every three hours. An Unna boot was employed as compression at sites of dermal lesions (warty excrescences) with overlapping use of individualized compression stockings that were individually adapted. The Unna boot was renewed every two days during the first week and every 3 days during the second and third weeks. By the end of this course of treatment, most of the warty excrescences had reduced in size or even disappeared and the lymphorrhea was controlled.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumours are a rare form of intra-abdominal neoplasm derived from mesenchymal tissue, typically presenting with abdominal pain, anaemia or bleeding into the bowel or abdominal cavity. Hypercalcaemia is an unusual complication, having been documented in only seven previous patients, all of whom had advanced metastatic disease. We present a case of treatment-resistant hypercalcaemia in a patient with non-metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumour, which resolved following excision of the tumour.

Abstract The etiology of dilation of lymphatic vessels, termed as intestinal lymphangiectasia, remains unknown. In most cases, it occurs secondary to other pathologic conditions such as gastrointestinal neoplasms. However, only a few cases of canine intestinal lymphangiectasia concurrent with non-gastrointestinal neoplasms have been reported so far. Moreover, the correlation between intestinal lymphangiectasia and non-gastrointestinal neoplasms has not been discussed in any other literature. In this study, we report a rare case of intestinal lymphangiectasia concomitant with renal cell carcinoma in an 11 year old female mixed Maltese, suggesting that non-gastrointestinal neoplasms could be associated with the development of intestinal lymphangiectasia. On gross observation, the small intestine was irregularly swollen presenting an accordion like shape. Microscopic examination revealed prominent dilatation of the lymphatic vessels, especially, within the submucosa and muscularis layer. The lacteals within the villi were dilated and presented “club-shaped” tips. The carcinoma might trigger intestinal lymphangiectasia by compressing the main lymphatic vessels or the cisterna chyli, subsequently increasing the pressure of the lymphatic vessels in the gastrointestinal tract. Moreover, metastasis of the carcinoma to the gastrointestinal tract could induce intestinal lymphangiectasia. Thus, the occurrence of intestinal lymphangiectasia must be considered when an abdominal neoplasm is located around major lymphatic vessels.
