Monckeberg arteriosclerosis in uterine vessels: an interesting incidental finding
Journal Title: Revista Información Científica - Year 2019, Vol 98, Issue 2
Abstract
A clinical-pathological case was reported, diagnosed at the "Joaquín Albarrán" Clinical Surgical Teaching Hospital in Havana. In this entity, an 85-year-old female patient with a history of type 2 diabetes mellitus was presented, admitted due to arterial insufficiency of the lower left limb, for which she underwent supracondylar amputation and died on the third day of her hospital stay. At the autopsy, the pathological diagnosis of Mönckeberg arteriosclerosis of vessels of the uterus was reached. This is a form of arteriosclerosis closely related to old age, but risk factors such as diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease can directly contribute to its development and progression. Its diagnosis is an incidental finding in histopathological samples.
