PURPOSE: to evaluate the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of patients with the diagnosis of phantom breast syndrome or with phantom phenomena lonely. METHODS: it was conducted an observational, descriptive and sectional study enrolling 98 patients treated for breast cancer at Hospital São Marcos, Teresina (PI), Brazil. A standardized questionnaire was applied. RESULTS: the phantom breast syndrome was observed in 11.2% of the patients and phantom sensation alone was observed in 30% of the patients. The mean age of the patients was 54 years. Fifty-nine patients were married (60%) and 79.5% were analphabetic or had not concluded the high school. Emotional alterations were present in 67.4%, even though in 66.7% the libido was not changed after surgical procedure. As a relief factor of phantom pain, resting was cited by 90.9% of the patients, while physical exercises were mentioned to exacerbate the symptoms in 63.6% of the cases. The mean grade attributed to the pain in a 0 to 10 scale was 3, ranging from 1 to 7. Only 3% of the patients knew about the existence of this syndrome before the interviews. CONCLUSIONS: phantom phenomena are frequent in mastectomized patients, being necessary more studies to know about its characteristics and effects in these women's quality of life.

PURPOSE: to assess ovarian function in patients with cervical cancer following radical hysterectomy with ovarian preservation. METHODS: we retrospectively analyzed patients with cervical carcinoma, submitted to radical hysterectomy with ovarian preservation at the Gynecologic Clinic of the São Marcos Hospital-SPCC, from April 1998 to October 2001, with evaluation of symptoms of estrogenic deprivation (flushing, dry vagina) and the measurement of FSH levels after surgery. All data were analyzed using the Pearson test. RESULTS: FSH levels were measured in 42 patients; of these, 33 (78.5%) patients had normal FSH levels (below 30 mU/mL). The median level was 21.05 mU/mL (range 1.2-132.44 mU/mL). Five (55.6%) of the nine patients with high FSH levels had received postoperative radiotherapy (p<0.0001). There was no correlation between postoperative FSH levels and age over 40 years (p=0.33). Benign ovarian cysts occurred in four patients (7.7%). One patient presented recurrence of the lesion in the vaginal dome and metastasis to the scalp, and died. CONCLUSION: in 78.5% of the patients, ovarian function was preserved. Ovarian transposition was inadequate to preserve ovarian function in patients who underwent postoperative radiotherapy. There was no correlation between age and postoperative FSH levels.
