ABSTRACT
As deformidades nos lóbulos das orelhas causadas por adornos e ornamentos são muito comuns. O uso de alargadores e piercings nessa topografia gera uma fenda parcial de grandes dimensões, além do alongamento, o que causa prejuízo estético e social quando no abandono de seu uso. Várias técnicas cirúrgicas já foram propostas para a correção de defeitos nos lóbulos das orelhas. Nesse relato de caso, foi descrita uma nova abordagem cirúrgica, simples, rápida e com resultado estético satisfatório nos casos de fenda parcial de grandes dimensões: a técnica em "L" adaptada
Earlobes deformities caused by adornments and ornaments are prevalent. The use of plugs and piercings in this topography generates a large partial cleft in the earlobes, which causes aesthetic and social damage when abandoning its use. The literature has already proposed several surgical techniques to correct defects in the earlobes. This case report describes a new, simple, and fast surgical approach, which had satisfactory aesthetic results in significant partial cleft cases: the adapted "L-plasty" technique
ABSTRACT
Abstract Mucocutaneous leishmaniasis (MCL) is a chronic infection that can affect the skin and mucous membranes. We report a case of oral, nasopharyngeal, and penile lesions in a 35-year-old cocaine user. The patient presented with ulcerated lesions in 2014. Histopathologic analysis revealed amastigotes, and serological test results were positive for leishmaniasis. Systemic therapy with meglumine antimoniate was administered; however, the patient failed to present for follow-up. In 2018, he returned with nasal collapse, and another histopathologic test confirmed MCL. This case illustrates the importance of careful differential diagnosis of skin and mucous ulcers to identify the particular pathology.
