Oral multiple carcinomatosis in a patient from an area with endemic regional chronic hydroarsenicism (erch)
Background: Arsenic (As) and its compounds may cause multiple harmful effects on the human organism, interfering with biological processes of vital importance. It is known that the inhabitants of vast areas of the Argentine Republic drink well water contaminated with AS, which results in a disease k...

I10-R327-article-267232024-08-27T18:27:09Z Oral multiple carcinomatosis in a patient from an area with endemic regional chronic hydroarsenicism (erch) Carcinomatosis múltiple de localización bucal en un paciente de zona de hidroarsenicismo crónico regional endémico (hacre) Carrica, Victoriano chronic arsenicism well water premalignants and maligilants oral lesions arsenicismo crónico agua de pozo lesiones orales premalignas y malignas Background: Arsenic (As) and its compounds may cause multiple harmful effects on the human organism, interfering with biological processes of vital importance. It is known that the inhabitants of vast areas of the Argentine Republic drink well water contaminated with AS, which results in a disease known as Endemic Regional Chronic Hydroarsenicism (ERCH). It has been observed that these patients present a clinical picture characterized by multiple carcinomatous skin lesions which occur concurrently or successively along long periods of time. Purpose: To present the clinical case of a female patient from the arsenical area of Cordoba Province, who had multiple carcinornatous oral lesions. Materials and method: The patient's history was written and iconographies, surgical excision of the hp lesions, pathological studies of the samples, and evolution observations were done. Results: Based on both the patient's history and follow-up studies, it was possible to prove the presence of multiple successive carcinomatous lesions in the oral mucosa. Conclusion: It is concluded that drinking water containing more AS than the quantity accepted by the WHO (0.0 5 ppm) can cause multiple carcinomatous lesions on the oral mucosa as well as on the skin. Antecedentes: La acción nociva del arsénico (As) y sus compuestos sobre el organismo humano es múltiple, afectando procesos biológicos de gran importancia. En extensas zonas de la República Argentina se consume agua de pozo contaminada con As, lo que produce una enfermedad denominada "Hidroarsenicismo Crónico Regional Endémico (HACRE), en cuyo cuadro clínico se han observado pacientes con múltiples lesiones carcinomatosas de la piel, coexistentes o sucesivas en largos periodos de tiempo. Objetivo: presentar el caso clínico de una paciente residente en la zona arsenical de la Provincia de Córdoba con lesiones carcinomatosas orales. Materiales y Métodos: Se realizó Historia Clínica, iconografía, eliminación quirúrgica de lesiones de labio, estudios anatomopatológicos de los especirnenes obtenidos y control evolutivo. Resultados: Por los datos obtenidos de la Historia Clínica, y por ci seguimiento realizado, se pudo comprobar la existencia de múltiples y sucesivas lesiones carcinomatosas en la mucosa bucal. Conclusión: Del estudio de este caso se concluye que el AS presente en el agua de bebida en cantidades superiores a las aceptadas por la Organización Mundial de la Salud (0,05 ppm), puede producir, al igual que en la piel, múltiples lesiones carcinomatosas en la mucosa oral.
