ABSTRACT
Introdução: O Condiloma uretral é uma infecção sexualmente transmissível comum associada ao vírus do papiloma humano. O acometimento na uretra é raro, principalmente quando trata-se de um paciente HIV positivo com carga viral indetectável. Objetivo: Tem como objetivo discutir sobre o acometimento uretral do papiloma vírus e as possíveis formas de tratamento, assim como revisar a literatura. Relato de caso: O paciente em questão apresentou suspeita de carcinoma de células de transição, sendo encaminhado para tratamento, porém afastado essa suspeita e fechando diagnóstico para lesão condilomatosa uretral, sendo realizado tratamento por ressecção endoscópica das lesões com energia monopolar. Discussão: O acometimento uretral ocorre em até 5% dos casos, e o mesmo apresenta alta probabilidade de malignização. Não existem diretrizes específicas sobre o manejo do condiloma intra-uretral, pois trata-se de uma patologia rara. O objetivo dos tratamentos é remover as verrugas e induzir períodos livre de lesões, sendo que o conservador com crioterapia e o ácido tricloroacético nem sempre são aplicáveis à uretra devido ao difícil acesso. A ressecção endoscópica das lesões tem se mostrado mais eficaz. Conclusão: Urologistas e patologistas devem estar cientes dessa rara possibilidade, a fim de evitar erros de diagnóstico acerca dessa entidade predominantemente benigna. Desta forma apresentamos um caso de ressecção endoscópica de extensa lesão condilomatosa em uretra peniana de uma paciente masculino hemofílico e HIV positivo. [au]
Introduction: Urethral condyloma is a common sexually transmitted infection associated with the human papillomavirus (HPV). Affection in the urethra is rare, especially when dealing with an HIV positive patient with an undetectable viral load. Objective: It aims to discuss the urethral involvement of the papillomavirus and the possible forms of treatment, as well as to review the literature. Case report: The patient in question presented suspicion of transitional cell carcinoma, being referred for treatment, but this suspicion was removed and the diagnosis of urethral condylomatous lesion was closed, with treatment by endoscopic resection of the lesions with monopolar energy. Discussion: Urethral involvement occurs in up to 5% of cases, and it has a high probability of malignancy. There are no specific guidelines on the management of intra-urethral condyloma, as it is a rare condition. The goal of treatments is to remove warts and induce injury-free periods, the conservative with cryotherapy and trichloroacetic acid not always being applicable to the urethra due to difficult access. Endoscopic resection of the lesions has been shown to be more effective. Conclusion: urologists and pathologists should be aware of this rare possibility, in order to avoid diagnostic errors about this predominantly benign entity. Thus, we present a case of endoscopic resection of an extensive condylomatous lesion in the penile urethra of a male patient with hemophilia and HIV positive. [au]
ABSTRACT
Cutaneous adverse drug reactions (ADR) are skin conditions due to a drug, regardless of the way of administration. Knowledge about their frequency, clinical manifestations and histopathological patterns is essential for prevention and early diagnosis, avoiding complications and reducing morbidity. This work assessed the incidence of cutaneous ADR in skin biopsies from patients with inflammatory dermatoses, and determined their histopathological patterns. Skin biopsies from patients with inflammatory dermatoses, obtained in the years 2006-2007 at the Pathology Division of the HU/UFJF, were analyzed. The different histopathological patterns were grouped, the cases were statistically analyzed and a clinicopathological matching was attempted. Of the 1409 skin biopsies, 304 cases of inflammatory dermatoses were diagnosed,31 corresponding to cutaneous ADR. The most frequent histopathological pattern was vacuolar interface dermatitis (41.9%). The most frequently involved drug was captopril. Identification of histopathological patterns and anatomoclinical correlation are indispensable for the differential between cutaneous ADR and the other inflammatory dermatoses, allowing for an early and precise diagnosis and reducing treatment and hospitalization costs.
