ABSTRACT

La Micosis Fungoide (MF) es el linfoma cutáneo más común de células T. Tiene un comportamiento indolente, llevando a algunos a utilizar el término de linfoma cutáneo de células T (LLCT) como sinónimo de la MF. Se caracteriza por una erupción cutánea crónica, generalizada, y clínicamente por la evolución de los parches en placas y tumores. A continuación se presentará un caso clínico que tras un diagnóstico de liquen plano refractario a tratamiento, se diagnostica micosis fungoide folicular.


Mycosis fungoides (MF) is recognized as the most common cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). It has an indolent behavior, leading some to use the term cutaneous T-cell lymphoma as synonymous of MF. It is characterized by chronic, widespread rash, and clinically by the evolution of patches in plaques and tumors. We describe our experience with a case that after a diagnosis of lichen planus refractory to treatment, we diagnosed follicular mycosis fungoides.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCIÓN: El neumotórax espontáneo (NEP) es la presencia de aire en la pleura sin etiología identificable. Después de un primer episodio 30 por ciento recidiva, aún sin consenso del manejo de ambos. Postulamos relación entre datos del paciente consultante por NEP con la recidiva de un neumotórax espontáneo primario primer episodio (NEPPE). OBJETIVO: Identificar características del paciente recidivado del NEPPE (RNEP) versus el paciente sin recidiva. MATERIAL Y MÉTODO: Estudio de casos y controles. Se analizaron datos de pacientes atendidos en el Servicio de Cirugía del Hospital Gustavo Fricke entre Enero de 2006 y Junio de 2010. Nuestro n=41 con 17 casos (16 hombres, mediana edad 21 años) de RNEP y 24 controles (23 hombres, mediana edad 20,5 años) para NEPPE no recidivados. Se describieron datos y se analizó asociación entre variables en función de los casos y controles a través de Odds Ratio. RESULTADOS: Se encontró que los pacientes que debutaron su NEPPE en la temporada de otoño tenían mayor recidiva que las otras temporadas con OR de 7,8 (IC 95 por ciento: 1,40-53,85). El tabaco no muestra asociación con OR de 0,297 (IC 95 por ciento:0,062-1,315). DISCUSIÓN: No se encontró significancia estadística entre otras variables y la recidiva o no del NEPPE. Concluimos que debutar un NEPPE en otoño predispone a RNEP, aunque faltarían estudios con una muestra mayor para establecer conductas. A pesar de que algunos estudios dan importancia al tabaco en la recidiva del NEPPE, no encontramos igual asociación que puede explicarse por la poca gente de nuestro grupo que fumaba.


INTRODUCTION: Spontaneous pneumotorax (SP) is defined as the presence of air into the pleura without recognizable cause. After a first episode of SP, 30 percent of them recur, without consensus about their management. We postulated a relationship between anamnesis and recurrence of a first episode of SP. OBJETIVE: Our aim was to identify characteristics of patients who recurred compared with patients without recurrence. MATERIAL AND METHOD: We analyzed information of patients attended treated in Surgery Service of Gustavo Fricke Hospital between January of 2006 and Juny of 2010. Our patients were 41, with17 patients (16 male, average age of 21) with recurred SP and 24 controls (23 male, average age of 20.5) with non recurred SP. Data were described and relationship between variables in cases and control patients using Odds Ratio was analyzed. RESULTS: Patients with their first episode of SP occurred in autumn were more likely to recur with an OR of 7,8 (CI 95 percent: 1.40-53.85). Smoking did not show relationship with recurrence (OR of 0.297, CI 95 percent 0.062-1.315). Other variables were not statistically significant for recurrence or not of first episode of SP. DISCUSSION: Although more studies with a larger amount of patients are needed to define a proper management, we concluded that a first episode of SP occurred in autumn predisposes a recurrence of this disease. In addition, we did not found relationship between smoking and SP recurrence, maybe because the low prevalence of smoking in our sample, in contrast with some studies which postulate it as a risk factor.
