ABSTRACT

O carcinoma cuniculatum consiste em um subtipo raro do carcinoma espinocelular, que se apresenta como uma lesão verrucosa, de crescimento lento, agressividade local e baixa capacidade de produzir metástases. Sua histopatologia revela criptas preenchidas por queratina, e sua etiologia tem ligação com o HPV, principalmente os subtipos 11 e 16. O tratamento de escolha é a excisão cirúrgica, seguida de acompanhamento regular pelo elevado risco de recidiva local. Relata-se caso de paciente feminina, portadora de carcinoma cuniculatum, tratada pela cirurgia com congelamento perioperatório, realização de enxerto e boa evolução.


The cuniculatum carcinoma is a rare, slow-growth, local aggressive subtype of the squamous cell carcinoma, presented as a verrucous lesion with a low metastasis capacity. Its histopathology shows keratin-filled crypts, and its etiology is linked with HPV, especially 11 and 16 subtypes. The treatment of choice is surgical excision, followed by regular monitoring due to the high risk of local recurrence. We report a case of a woman with Cuniculatum carcinoma treated with surgery with perioperative frozen section procedure, graft, and good evolution.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>Brazil is among the nations with the greatest rates of annual cocaine usage. Pharmacological treatment of cocaine addiction is still limited, opening space for nonconventional interventions. Homeopathic Q-potencies of opium and Erythroxylum coca have been tested in the integrative treatment of cocaine craving among homeless addicts, but this setting had not proven feasible, due to insufficient recruitment.</p><p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>This study investigates the effectiveness and tolerability of homeopathic Q-potencies of opium and E. coca in the integrative treatment of cocaine craving in a community-based psychosocial rehabilitation setting.</p><p><b>DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, AND INTERVENTIONS</b>A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, eight-week pilot trial was performed at the Psychosocial Attention Center for Alcohol and Other Drugs (CAPS-AD), Sao Carlos/SP, Brazil. Eligible subjects included CAPS-AD patients between 18 and 65 years of age, with an International Classification of Diseases-10 diagnosis of cocaine dependence (F14.2). The patients were randomly assigned to two treatment groups: psychosocial rehabilitation plus homeopathic Q-potencies of opium and E. coca (homeopathy group), and psychosocial rehabilitation plus indistinguishable placebo (placebo group).</p><p><b>MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES</b>The main outcome measure was the percentage of cocaine-using days. Secondary measures were the Minnesota Cocaine Craving Scale and 12-Item Short-Form Health Survey scores. Adverse events were reported in both groups.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The study population comprised 54 patients who attended at least one post-baseline assessment, out of the 104 subjects initially enrolled. The mean percentage of cocaine-using days in the homeopathy group was 18.1% (standard deviation (SD): 22.3%), compared to 29.8% (SD: 30.6%) in the placebo group (P < 0.01). Analysis of the Minnesota Cocaine Craving Scale scores showed no between-group differences in the intensity of cravings, but results significantly favored homeopathy over placebo in the proportion of weeks without craving episodes and the patients' appraisal of treatment efficacy for reduction of cravings. Analysis of 12-Item Short-Form Health Survey scores found no significant differences. Few adverse events were reported: 0.57 adverse events/patient in the homeopathy group compared to 0.69 adverse events/patient in the placebo group (P = 0.41).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>A psychosocial rehabilitation setting improved recruitment but was not sufficient to decrease dropout frequency among Brazilian cocaine treatment seekers. Psychosocial rehabilitation plus homeopathic Q-potencies of opium and E. coca were more effective than psychosocial rehabilitation alone in reducing cocaine cravings. Due to high dropout rate and risk of bias, further research is required to confirm our findings, with specific focus on strategies to increase patient retention.</p><p><b>TRIAL REGISTRATION</b>RBR-2xzcwz (http://www.ensaiosclinicos.gov.br).</p>

ABSTRACT

Abstract: Granulomatous slack skin is an indolent T-cell lymphoma, considered to be a variant of mycosis fungoides. Clinically it is characterized by areas of redundant skin, wrinkled, inelastic, with variable erythema and infiltration besides a poikilodermic surface. A differential diagnosis unknown to most dermatologists is the giant cell tumor of soft tissue, which is an extremely rare low-grade sarcoma. The authors report a patient who had undergone extensive surgery because of a primary diagnosis of giant cell tumor of soft tissue, but which proved to be granulomatous slack skin after a second interventional procedure with confirmatory histopathology.

ABSTRACT

Shiitake Dermatitis is often presented as papules and erythemato-violaceous linear streaks. It can be associated with bleomycin treatment, dermatomyositis and shiitake mushroom (Lentinus edodes). There is not any previous report concerning this rare etiology in our country. Shiitake is the second most consumed mushroom worldwide and it can cause flagellate erythema when ingested raw or half cooked. It has a higher incidence in Oriental countries because of their eating habits, this is the first case reported in Brazil, in a male patient that presented a cutaneous rash after consuming this raw mushroom.


A dermatite flagelada é caracterizada por pápulas eritematosas lineares com aspecto de "chicotada". A etiologia pode ser associada ao uso de bleomicina, dermatomiosite e shiitake (Lentinus edodes). Este é o segundo cogumelo mais consumido no mundo e pode ser causa de dermatite flagelada quando ingerido cru ou mal cozido. Não há relatos nas literaturas de quadro de dermatite flagelada por shiitake em nosso país, reportamos o primeiro caso no Brasil de um paciente masculino que desenvolveu o quadro após a ingesta desse cogumelo cru.

ABSTRACT

Pênfigo Vegetante foi primeiramente descrito como uma variante do pênfigo vulgar, em 1876, por Neumann. Em 1889, Hallopeau descreveu um paciente com pústulas e placas vegetantes, e sugeriu ser uma variante do Pênfigo Vegetante de Neumann. Ambos os tipos de pênfigo vegetante são caracterizados pelo desenvolvimento de placas vegetantes, especialmente, em dobras (axila, inguinal, perianal). Os autores apresentam e discutem um caso de Pênfigo Vegetante com uma clínica incomum, com ausência de acometimento de mucosas e áreas de flexão, em paciente idosa, associado ao uso de enalapril como possível desencadeador. Diagnóstico clínico e histológico sugestivos de Pênfigo Vegetante tipo Hallopeau.


Pemphigus Vegetans was first described as a variant of Pemphigus Vulgaris in 1876 by Neumann. In 1889, Hallopeau described a patient with pustules and vegetating plaques, suggesting that it would be a variant of Pemphigus Vegetans of Neumann. Both types of Pemphigus Vegetans are characterized by the development of vegetating plaques especially on skin folds (axillae, groin, perianal region). The authors present and discuss a case of Pemphigus Vegetans with an unusual clinical presentation lacking involvement of mucous membrane and flexor surfaces in an elderly female patient, associated with the use of enalapril as possible trigger factor. Clinical and histological diagnosis were suggestive of Pemphigus Vegetans of the Hallopeau type.

ABSTRACT

A retículo-histiocitose congênita autolimitada é o espectro benigno das histiocitoses de células de Langerhans, caracterizada pela presença de lesões cutâneas ao nascimento ou no período neonatal, ausência de manifestações sistêmicas e resolução espontânea do quadro clínico. Apesar do curso benigno e frequente autorresolução na maior parte dos pacientes, estudos mostram que, em alguns casos, pode haver disseminação ou recaída da doença, enfatizando que o curso clínico é variável, havendo necessidade de seguimento em longo prazo. O acompanhamento do paciente por longo período é importante para detectar possível envolvimento sistêmico, pois existe relato de recorrência, envolvendo pele, mucosa, ossos e glândula pituitária.


Congenital self-healing reticulohistiocytosis is the benign spectrum of Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis, characterized by cutaneous lesions at birth or in the neonatal period, absence of systemic manifestations and spontaneous resolution of clinical status. Despite the benign and often self-resolving course in most patients, studies show that in some cases there may be metastasis or recurrence of the disease, emphasizing that the clinical course is variable, requiring long-term follow-up. The monitoring of the patient for a long period is important to detect possible systemic involvement, as there is a report of recurrence involving the skin, mucosa, bone and pituitary gland.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: apresentar o perfil dos diagnósticos de hospitalização de crianças até 5 anos, durante 2 anos no município de Blumenau-SC.Métodos: realizou-se uma revisão dos diagnósticos de internação das crianças menores de 5 anos que foram hospitalizadas nos 3 principais hospitais da cidade de Blumenau (Hospital Santo Antônio, Santa Isabel e Santa Catarina) num período de 2 anos, o que permitiu avaliar as causas de acordo com a sazonalidade. Resultados: os dados obtidos evidenciaram um número maior de internações em meninos e lactentes até 11 meses. Houve predomínio de internações no hospital referência materno-infantil do município. As estações do ano não tiveram grande repercussão nas hospitalizações, exceto o verão que teve um númeromenor. Os principais motivos de hospitalização encontrados foram as doenças do trato respiratório, seguida das do trato gastrointestinal e das causas externas. Conclusão: houve maior número de hospitalizaçõesem lactentes até 11 meses, do sexo masculino, por causas respiratórias. As causas gastrointestinais e externas também corresponderam a um grande número de internações. Não houve variação do total de hospitalizações quando levado em conta a variação das estações do ano.

ABSTRACT

Os autores relatam um caso de miopatia inflamatória associada ao uso de lovastatina, uma HMG-CoA redutase. Uma paciente de 53 anos de idade, diabética insulino-dependente e hipertensa bem controlada, estava no serviço em acompanhamento para tratamento de osteoporose. Foi introduzida lovastatina 40mg/dia porque apresentou hiperlipidemia. Três semanans após iniciar a droga, a paciente desenvolveu miopatia aguda com fraqueza de membros superiores e inferiores, com aumento da creatinoquinase 500 vezes o normal. A biópsia muscular realizada no músculo bíceps esquerdo feita no terceiro dia da fraqueza muscular revelou necrose, degeneraçäo e sinais de atividade lisossomal. No entanto, nenhum infiltrado inflamatório foi observado no endomísio, no perimísio ou na regiäo perivascular. Os sintomas musculares melhoraram sete dias após a suspensäo da droga. As enzimas voltaram ao normal 45 dias após a interrupçäo da lovastatina
