Nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis

Abstract: Nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis is a rare benign hamartomatous skin tumor characterized by dermal deposition of mature adipose tissue. Two clinical forms have been described (classical and solitary types). We describe a case of nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis with a 13-year history of growth in a young woman who had a solitary skin-colored tumoral mass on the right buttock. Histopathological findings were typical and confirmed the diagnosis. In this case, the lesion was a skin-colored isolated mass, as described in the solitary type, but its localization and age of appearance were compatible with the classical type. The combination of simultaneous clinical findings of both types had not been published before.

Herpes-zóster oftálmico apos injeção de onabotulinotoxina para tratamento cosmético - Relato de caso / Herpes zoster ophthalmicus after onabotulinumtoxin for cosmetic treatment: a case report

Episódios de herpes-zóster após procedimentos têm sido documentados recentemente na literatura. Uma vez que o uso da toxina botulínica atualmente se faz presente em diversas especialidades médicas, é crucial o estudo de seus efeitos colaterais e complicações. Uma revisão da literatura mostrou 65 casos de reativação de zóster após procedimentos, sendo três relacionados a injeções de toxina botulínica tipo A (dois para tratamento de rítides faciais e um para migrânea crônica). Em nosso caso, uma mulher de 43 anos previamente hígida apresentou herpe-zóster na face e couro cabeludo após injeções de toxina botulínica tipo A com fins estéticos, tendo recuperação completa após tratamento antiviral.

Herpes zoster outbreaks following minor procedures have been documented recently in literature. Since the use of botulinum toxin is nowadays spread in several medical areas for different purposes, it is crucial to study its side effects and complications. Literature review revealed 65 cases of zoster reactivation following minor procedures, and three cases related to BTA injections (two for facial lines treatment and one for chronic migraine). In our case, a 43 year old healthy woman had herpes zoster on the face and scalp after receiving BTA injections for cosmetic purpose, with complete recovery after anti-viral treatment.

Single cutaneous metastasis of colon adenocarcinoma - Case report

Abstract: Skin metastases are relatively rare and occur most often when the cancer is already advanced, invading other organs. As to location, they often seem to elect areas located close to the primary tumor, although distant sites, such as the scalp, may be affected with some frequency. We present a case of a 76-year-old woman with colon adenocarcinoma that had a single metastatic lesion on the scalp.

PARACOCCIDIOIDOMYCOSIS IN A RENAL TRANSPLANT RECIPIENT

Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is the most common endemic mycosis in Latin America. The etiological agents, which comprise two species, Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and P. lutzii, are thermodimorphic fungi that usually affect previously healthy adults. They primarily involve the lungs and then disseminate to other organs. Such mycosis is rare in organ transplant recipients; there have been only three cases reported in literature, until now. We report a case of PCM in a renal transplant recipient with an unusual dermatological presentation.
