ABSTRACT

Abstract

Lithium has been implicated in the exacerbation of pre-existing psoriasis, in the induction of psoriasis on previously uninvolved skin of psoriasis patients, and in the triggering of psoriasis for the first time in patients without a personal or family history. Lithium-induced psoriasis (and its resistance to treatment) is one of the major reasons for noncompliance in patients treated with lithium. We describe a male patient who developed generalized ostraceous psoriasis whose clinical appearance mimicked dermatitis neglecta, 10 months after starting therapy with lithium.

ABSTRACT

Granular cell tumor is a rare benign neoplasm of neural origin. We report the case of a female patient, 27 years old presenting a brown-red nodule in the right arm, which pathological examination showed to be formed by polygonal cells with eosinophilic granular cytoplasm and immunohistochemistry positive for S100 protein and CD68. Granular cell tumor is usually solitary and in half the cases located in the head and neck areas, 30% of these in the tongue. It is most frequent between the third and fifth decades of life in women and people of African-American ethnicity. Its origination is controversial, including the possible origins in muscle, fibroblasts, neural crest, neural sheath or histiocytes. The positivity for S-100 and CD68 suggest the neural origin.


O tumor de células granulares é uma neoplasia benigna rara, de origem neural. Relatamos caso de paciente feminina, 27 anos, com nódulo de superfície acastanhada no braço direito, cujo exame anatomopatológico evidenciou densa proliferação de células, com amplo citoplasma contendo grânulos eosinofílicos, e imuno-histoquímica positiva para proteínas S100 e CD68. O tumor de células granulares é geralmente solitário e, em metade dos casos, localiza-se em cabeça e pescoço, dos quais 23% na língua. É mais frequente entre a terceira e a quinta décadas de vida, em mulheres e pessoas de etnia negra. A positividade para S-100 e CD68 favorece origem neural.

ABSTRACT

Behçet's disease is a chronic inflammatory disease of unknown aetiology, characterized by recurrent oral and genital aphthous ulcerations, uveitis, skin lesions and other multisystem affections associated with vasculitis. Different types of vessels, predominantly veins, can be affected in Behçet's disease. The frequency of vascular lesions in Behçet's disease, such as superficial and deep venous thromboses, arterial aneurysms and occlusions, ranges between 7-29%. Budd-Chiari syndrome is a rare and serious complication of Behçet's disease and implies thrombosis of the hepatic veins and/or the intrahepatic or suprahepatic inferior vena cava. We report a case of a 25-year-old man with Behçet's disease that developed Budd-Chiari syndrome. The correlation of dermatological, pathological and imaging studies confirmed the diagnosis.


Doença de Behçet é uma doença inflamatória crônica de etiologia desconhecida, caracterizada clinicamente por ulcerações aftosas orais e genitais recorrentes, uveíte, lesões cutâneas e outras afecções multissistêmicas associadas à vasculite. Diferentes tipos de vasos, predominantemente veias, podem ser afetados na doença de Behçet, causando tromboses venosas superficiais e profundas, aneurismas arteriais e oclusões, com uma frequência em torno de 7 a 29%. Síndrome de Budd-Chiari é uma rara e grave complicação da SB e implica trombose das veias hepáticas e/ou da veia cava inferior intra ou suprahepática. Nós reportamos um caso de paciente masculino com Doença de Behçet que apresentou Síndrome de Budd-Chiari e tromboses múltiplas, cujo diagnóstico foi favorecido pela correlação entre aspectos dermatológicos, histopatológicos, radiológicos e laboratoriais.
