ABSTRACT

Abstract: Methotrexate is one of the most used drugs in the treatment of psoriasis with indication of systemic therapy. Cutaneous and mucous side effects are described by pharmacological characteristics of the drug itself or due to overdose. We report the case of a patient with ulcerations in oral mucosa and psoriatic plaques after incorrect use of Methotrexate. Prescribed in a weekly dose, it was used continuously for 10 days and without simultaneous intake of folic acid. It is important to ensure correct comprehension of the prescription.

ABSTRACT

FUNDAMENTOS: O carcinoma basocelular corresponde a 75 por cento dos tumores cutâneos. A exposição solar e a genética estão relacionadas à sua etiologia. Espera-se que diferenças comportamentais e biológicas proporcionem padrões diferenciados de acometimento entre os sexos. OBJETIVOS: Avaliar a topografia das lesões e suas correlações com gênero, idade e tipo histológico. MÉTODOS: Estudo retrospectivo de pacientes tratados por carcinoma basocelular entre 1999 e 2008 no ambulatório de câncer da pele da Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Curitiba. Avaliamos sexo, idade, localização, tipo histológico, situação das margens, histórico de fotoexposição e antecedentes familiares de câncer cutâneo. RESULTADOS: Contabilizamos 1.042 lesões em 545 pacientes (61 por cento mulheres), sendo mais numerosas nos homens (p < 0,01). As idades variaram entre 27 e 95 anos (mediana = 65). Os homens apresentavam mais fotoexposição (p < 0,01). As lesões extracefálicas foram mais frequentes recentemente (p < 0,01). O comprometimento de margens foi maior na cabeça (p < 0,01). o tipo superficial foi menos frequente na cabeça (p < 0,01) e se associou a idades menores nas mulheres (p < 0,01). a cabeça abrigou 74 por cento das lesões, e as pernas, 2 por cento. as mulheres apresentaram predileção para pernas, nariz e lábio superior e os homens para tronco, orelhas e couro cabeludo (p < 0,05). as cirurgias no epicanto medial e couro cabeludo ocorreram em idades menores (p < 0,01). CONCLUSÕES: identificamos associação significativa entre a topografia das lesões, o gênero, a idade e o tipo histológico, demonstrando a possível diversidade fisiopatológica e de atuação dos fatores de risco. no período estudado não verificamos tendência de aumento na proporção de jovens e mulheres entre os pacientes.


BACKGROUND: Basal cell carcinoma accounts for 75 percent of skin cancer. Sun exposure and genetics are related to its etiology. It's expected that biological and behavioral differences provide different patterns of involvement between sexes. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the topography of lesions and their correlations with gender, age and histological type. METHODS: Retrospective study of basal cell carcinoma patients treated between 1999 and 2008 in the Skin Cancer Clinic of Santa Casa de Misericordia of Curitiba. We evaluated sex, age, location, histological type, margins commitment, sun exposure and family skin cancer history. RESULTS: We found 1042 lesions in 545 patients (61 percent women), being more numerous in men (p<0.01). Their ages ranged between 27 and 95 years (median=65). Men had more sun exposure (p<0.01). The lesions were more frequent extra-cephalic recently (p<0.01). The margin involvement was higher in the head (p<0.01). The superficial type was less frequent on the head (p<0.01) and was associated with younger ages in women (p<0.01). The head housed 74 percent of lesions and the legs 2 percent. Women had a predilection for the legs, nose and upper lip and men to trunk, ears and scalp (p <0.05). The surgeries in the medial epicanthus and scalp occurred at younger ages (p=0.01). CONCLUSIONS: We identified significant associations between the topography of lesions, gender, age and histological type, demonstrating the possible pathophysiological diversity and differential risk factors operation. In the period studied we found no trend of increase in the proportion of young or women among patients.

ABSTRACT

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: A hanseníase e a neurocisticercose são doenças tropicais, infecciosas, que têm importante repercussão na saúde pública e podem ter uma forma ocular, gerando dúvida etiológica desta oftalmopatia ao ocorrem concomitantemente. O objetivo deste estudo foi relatar a presença de alterações oculares na hanseníase, além da importância da sua prevenção e diferenciação de outra comorbidade. RELATO DO CASO: Paciente do sexo feminino, 63 anos, procedente de Nova Iguaçu-Rio de Janeiro, queixando-se de manchas pelo corpo, parestesia e edema nos membros inferiores. Foi diagnosticada e tratada hanseníase indeterminada e reação reversa. Posteriormente, apresentou a forma virchowiana e evoluiu com paralisia do olhar conjugado para cima, estrabismo divergente e ptose palpebral à direita. Durante a investigação da oftalmoplegia foi diagnosticado neurocisticercose. As lesões calcificadas da neurocisticercose estavam fora do trajeto da via óptica, sendo o quadro ocular secundário à hanseníase. CONCLUSÃO: Apesar do tratamento e acompanhamento adequados da hanseníase, a paciente apresentou sequela ocular. Nota-se a importância de, em todos pacientes com hanseníase, realizar diagnóstico e terapia precoces, medidas anti-reacionais, supervisão pós-cura, cuidado multidisciplinar e exame oftalmológico de rotina, para evitar as complicações hansênicas.


BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Leprosy and neurocysticercosis are tropical and infectious diseases, which have important impacts on public health. They may have an ocular form, creating doubts in the etiology of ophthalmopathy, if developed concurrently. The aim of this study was to report the presence of ocular changes in leprosy and the importance of prevention and differential diagnosis. CASE REPORT: Female patient, 63 years, from Nova Iguaçu-Rio de Janeiro, complaining of spots throughout the body, paresthesia and edema in lower limbs. She was diagnosed and treated as indeterminate leprosy and reverse reaction. Subsequently, she developed the lepromatous form, with paralysis of conjugate gaze upward, divergent strabismus and blepharoptosis in the right eye and during the investigation of ophthalmoplegia was diagnosed neurocysticercosis. Calcified lesions of neurocysticercosis were outside of the visual pathway, and the ocular manifestations were considered secondary to leprosy. CONCLUSION: Despite adequate treatment and monitoring of leprosy, the patient developed ocular sequel. Note the importance of, in all leprosy patients, make early diagnosis and therapy, prevent leprosy reactions, and realize aftercare supervision, multidisciplinary care and routine eye examination, to avoid the leprosy complications.

ABSTRACT

A hanseníase é amplamente conhecida por suas complicações neurais e curso desafiador, apesar de rotina terapêutica bem estabelecida. A fim de evitar o desenvolvimento de incapacidades físicas, ressaltamos o papel fundamental do diagnóstico precoce, interrompendo o surgimento de neuropatias hansênicas. Relatamos um caso com evolução para garra ulnar.


Leprosy is well known because it's neural complications and challenging evolution, despite the established treatment. To avoid the development of physical incapacities, we emphasize the fundamental paper of early diagnose, stopping the appearance of leprosy neuropathies. We describe a case with evolution to ulnar claw.
