ABSTRACT
Abstract Patients with lepromatous or borderline leprosy may present two types of vasculonecrotic reactions: Lucio's phenomenon (LP) and necrotic erythema nodosum leprosum (nENL). These are serious conditions, which mostly lead to life-threatening infectious and thrombotic complications. The authors report the case of a patient with leprosy recurrence associated with an atypical type II reaction with LP characteristics on histopathology.
ABSTRACT
Abstract Chromoblastomycosis is a subcutaneous mycosis with chronic evolution that mainly affects the lower limbs and, less frequently, the auricles. Clinically, it presents with papillary verrucous, nodular, and/or tumoral lesions, whether isolated or infiltrated, forming plaques and, sometimes, atrophic in some areas. Histopathologically, it is characterized by a dermal granulomatous inflammatory infiltrate, and the diagnosis can be confirmed by the presence of fumagoid bodies in anatomopathological or direct mycological exams. The treatment to be indicated will depend on the extent and location of the lesions, using systemic antifungals, surgical removal, cryotherapy, thermotherapy, and immunoadjuvants. The present study reports an atypical presentation of chromoblastomycosis on the auricle.

As autoras discutem sobre algumas formas de queilite que, por suas manifestações clínicas, freqüência e potencial de malignização, têm maior relevância tanto para o clínico geral quanto para os especialistas que lidam diretamente com lesões da mucosa oral - como os dermatologistas, otorrinolaringologistas, cirurgiões de cabeça e pescoço, dentistas e estomatologistas, entre outros
