ABSTRACT
O aumento na incidência do carcinoma basocelular (CBC) atinge todas as faixas etárias, incluindo jovens abaixo dos 20 anos. Por ser pouco lembrado nesse grupo de pacientes, o atraso no diagnóstico e o tratamento tardio da neoplasia podem ser mais comuns. Assim como para outras faixas etárias, a exposição excessiva à radiação ultravioleta é o principal fator de risco associado, porém fatores genéticos também podem estar envolvidos nos casos não sindrômicos. Descreve-se um caso de CBC na face de um adolescente, tratado com cirurgia micrográfica de Mohs
The increase in the incidence of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) affects all age groups, including young patients under twenty years old. Because it is poorly remembered in this group of patients, late diagnosis and treatment of this neoplasia may be more common. Like other age groups, excessive exposure to ultraviolet radiation is the main associated risk factor; however, genetic factors may also be involved in non-syndromic cases. We report a case of BCC on the face of an adolescent treated with Mohs micrographic surgery
ABSTRACT
Abstract: Erythroderma consists of erythema and scaling involving most or all of the body surface. This generalized eruption may be idiopathic, drug-induced or secondary to cutaneous or systemic disease. A 71-year-old man is reported presenting generalized erythema and desquamation with deck-chair sign, nail dystrophy, and plantar ulcers associated with loss of local tactile sensitivity. Biopsies from three different sites demonstrated diffuse lymphocytic infiltrate with incipient granulomas. Fite-Faraco staining showed numerous isolated bacilli and globi. The skin smear was positive. Clinical and pathological diagnosis of borderline lepromatous leprosy was confirmed. This report demonstrates that chronic multibacillary leprosy can manifest as erythroderma and thus should be included in the differential diagnosis.

Relata-se o caso de um recém-nascido do sexo feminino com ictiose congênita, cuja mãe também apresentava características de ressecamento de pele sem diagnóstico prévio. Após condução adequada a evolução fois satisfatória sendo acompanhada nos ambulatórios de recém-nascidos de risco e de dermatologia.
