ABSTRACT

Abstract Elastoma is a connective tissue nevus characterized by changes in elastic fibers. It can be congenital or acquired, and is usually diagnosed before puberty. Associated with osteopoikilosis, it is known as Buschke-Ollendorff syndrome. Histopathology with specific staining for elastic fibers is critical for a diagnostic conclusion. This report describes the case of a 7-year-old male patient with lesions diagnosed as elastoma, with absence of bone changes in the radiological imaging. This study aims to report the clinical presentation and histological examination of such unusual disease.

ABSTRACT

FUNDAMENTOS: É bastante divulgado, sem a fundamentação científica necessária, que a infecção por molusco contagioso tende a ser mais frequente e de maior intensidade nos pacientes acometidos por dermatite atópica. Tal fato motivou a realização deste trabalho. OBJETIVOS: Avaliar a prevalência de associação de dermatite atópica e molusco contagioso; avaliar se, nos pacientes com dermatite atópica, a infecção por molusco contagioso é mais recorrente e/ou disseminada e se a ocorrência de eczema perimolusco, prurido e/ou infecção é mais prevalente que nos pacientes sem dermatite atópica. MÉTODOS: Avaliaram-se 284 crianças de ambos os sexos, com diagnóstico de molusco contagioso e/ ou dermatite atópica. RESULTADOS: Apenas 13,4 por cento dos pacientes apresentavam ambas as doenças. O número de áreas anatômicas afetadas por molusco contagioso, a ocorrência de eczema perimolusco e prurido foram maiores nos pacientes com dermatite atópica associada. Não houve diferença significativa de frequência de infecção secundária associada às lesões de molusco contagioso nos pacientes com e sem dermatite atópica. CONCLUSÃO: A prevalência da ocorrência de dermatite atópica e molusco contagioso associados foi baixa. Não houve diferença significativa na recorrência da infecção por molusco contagioso e na quantidade de lesões nos pacientes com e sem dermatite atópica. O número de áreas anatômicas afetadas por lesões de molusco contagioso, a presença de eczema perimolusco e de prurido foram maiores nos pacientes com dermatite atópica. Não houve diferença significativa na ocorrência de infecção bacteriana secundária nos grupos com e sem dermatite atópica.


BACKGROUND: Although no scientific evidence has yet been published, it is widely understood that molluscum contagiosum tends to be more common and more intense in patients with atopic dermatitis. This lack of evidence led to the development of the present study. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the prevalence of the association between atopic dermatitis and molluscum contagiosum; to evaluate whether molluscum contagiosum is more likely to be recurrent and/or disseminated in patients with atopic dermatitis and whether the occurrence of eczema surrounding the molluscum contagiosum lesions, pruritus and/or infection is more prevalent in these patients compared to patients without atopic dermatitis. METHODS: A total of 284 children of both sexes with a diagnosis of molluscum contagiosum and/or atopic dermatitis were evaluated. RESULTS: Only 13.4 percent of the patients had both conditions. The number of anatomical areas affected by molluscum contagiosum and the occurrence of surrounding eczema and pruritus was greater in the patients who also had atopic dermatitis. There was no statistically significant difference in the frequency of secondary infection associated with the molluscum contagiosum lesions between the patients who had atopic dermatitis and those who did not. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of atopic dermatitis associated with molluscum contagiosum was low. There was no statistically significant difference in the recurrence rates associated with molluscum contagiosum or in the number of lesions between the patients who had atopic dermatitis and those who did not. The number of anatomical areas affected by the molluscum contagiosum lesions and the presence of surrounding eczema and pruritus were higher in the patients with atopic dermatitis. There was no statistically significant difference in the occurrence of secondary bacterial infection between the groups with and without atopic dermatitis.

ABSTRACT

Urticária aquagênica é forma rara de urticária física caracterizada por aparecimento de urticas após o contato com água, independente da temperatura. Há poucos casos descritos de urticária aquagênica e, destes, somente cinco da forma familiar. Apresentamos o primeiro relato de urticária aquagênica familiar no Brasil, acometendo mãe e filha. Ambas apresentavam urticas, principalmente após banho de chuveiro, independentemente da temperatura da água. A mãe referia ter o quadro há quatro anos, e a filha, desde o nascimento. Para diagnóstico, foram realizados testes de provocação com água, com aparecimento de lesões em ambas, e testes com dermografômetro, com cubo de gelo envolvido em plástico e de provocação para urticária colinérgica, sem o aparecimento de lesões, excluindo assim outras formas de urticária física.


Aquagenic urticaria is a rare form of physical urticaria, characterized by pruritic wheals that appear following contact with water, independently of its temperature. There are few reports of cases of aquagenic urticaria, and only five include the familial form. We present the first case of familial aquagenic urticaria in Brazil (mother and daughter). Both patients presented wheals following contact with water, especially when showering, regardless of its temperature. The mother reported onset of urticaria four years before and the daughter presented wheals since birth. For diagnostic purposes, they were submitted to a challenge test with water, and both subjects presented wheals, as well as to tests using ice cubes in plastic bag with dermographometer and challenge tests for cholinergic urticaria, with no appearance of lesions, excluding other forms of physical urticaria.
