          Abstract

          El síndrome de Plummer-Vinson, también llamado disfagia sideropénica, se caracteriza por disfagia, presencia de membranas esofágicas y anemia ferropénica crónica, así como un aumento en el riesgo de desarrollar carcinomas del tracto gastrointestinal alto. Los casos reportados de pacientes con síndrome de Plummer-Vinson con carcinomas de cavidad oral son muy raros. Se presenta el caso de una paciente de 45 años con diagnóstico de síndrome de Plummer-Vinson que desarrolló carcinoma de células escamosas de lengua. La paciente se presentó en la Clínica de Patología y Medicina Bucal de la Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad Autónoma de Ciudad Juárez por presentar disfagia de 8 meses de evolución, glosodinia y glosopirosis. Su archivo médico reveló antecedente de anemia crónica no especificada, transfundida en varias ocasiones de manera intrahospitalaria. La exploración intraoral mostró depapilación de los dos tercios anteriores del dorso lingual, así como un aumento de volumen, ulcerado, de bordes indurados, de evolución desconocida en el borde lateral izquierdo de lengua. Se realiza biopsia incisional emitiéndose un diagnóstico histopatológico de carcinoma de células escamosas. En nuestro conocimiento éste es el tercer caso reportado en la literatura científica de carcinoma de células escamosas lingual en una paciente que padece síndrome de Plummer-Vinson. Los tres casos son coincidentes en género, edad y depapilación del dorso de la lengua. Se discute la pertinencia de seguir incluyendo a la disfagia sideropénica como una condición que favorece la presencia de carcinomas intraorales.

          Translated abstract

          The Plummer-Vinson syndrome, called sideropenic dysphagia, is characterized by dysphagia, iron deficiency, anemia and the presence of esophageal webs, and it has been identified as a risk factor for developing squamous cell carcinoma of the upper gastrointestinal tract. The cases of patients suffering Plummer-Vinson syndrome that develops intraoral carcinomas are very rare. We present one case of 45 years-female with diagnosis of sideropenic dysphagia who develops a squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue. The patient present at Oral Medicine and Oral pathology clinic at Dental School of the Autonomous University of Ciudad Juárez, México by glossodynia, glossopyrosis and dysphagia of 8 months of evolution. The medical file revealed antecedents of non-specified chronic anemia, with blood transfusions at medical institutions. The intraoral examination showed depapilation of two anterior thirds of the tongue. An ulcerated swallow with indurate borders site in the left lateral border of the tongue of unknown evolution was observes. An incisional biopsy was done and a histopathological diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue was emitted. In our knowledge this is the third case reported in the scientific literature of a lingual squamous cell carcinoma develops in a patient suffering Plummer-Vinson syndrome. The 3 reported cases are coincident in age, gender and oral features. The pertinence of to continue including to sideropenic dysphagia like a risk factor to develop intra-oral carcinomas is discuses.

          Plummer-Vinson syndrome

          Plummer-Vinson or Paterson-Kelly syndrome presents as a classical triad of dysphagia, iron-deficiency anemia and esophageal webs. Exact data about epidemiology of the syndrome are not available; the syndrome is extremely rare. Most of the patients are white middle-aged women, in the fourth to seventh decade of life but the syndrome has also been described in children and adolescents. The dysphagia is usually painless and intermittent or progressive over years, limited to solids and sometimes associated with weight loss. Symptoms resulting from anemia (weakness, pallor, fatigue, tachycardia) may dominate the clinical picture. Additional features are glossitis, angular cheilitis and koilonychia. Enlargement of the spleen and thyroid may also be observed. One of the most important clinical aspects of Plummer-Vinson syndrome is the association with upper alimentary tract cancers. Etiopathogenesis of Plummer-Vinson syndrome is unknown. The most important possible etiological factor is iron deficiency. Other possible factors include malnutrition, genetic predisposition or autoimmune processes. Plummer-Vinson syndrome can be treated effectively with iron supplementation and mechanical dilation. In case of significant obstruction of the esophageal lumen by esophageal web and persistent dysphagia despite iron supplementation, rupture and dilation of the web are necessary. Since Plummer-Vinson syndrome is associated with an increased risk of squamous cell carcinoma of the pharynx and the esophagus, the patients should be followed closely.
