ABSTRACT
This study is focused at nursing education in the biological and health sciences field, specifically in terms ofknowledge of anatomy and the application of dissection as a teaching practice in the light of active pedagogies.The objective was to assess the importance of the practice of dissection to teach anatomy in a graduationcourse in nursing. The hypothesis that the students would be more interested in discipline if the teachingmethodology used was based on creative and constructivist methods, in relation to traditional teachingmethods. The sample comprised 37 students, among those who actually had the practice of dissection andthose who had not in a federal university. The mediation of the teacher and the contact with classmates duringthe discussions in the course of learning to learn, are important factors in the training of the academic inthe view of the active methodology. The performance of the student as active subject in the teaching processallowed the construction of a concrete knowledge. The constructivist methodology associated with dissectionenabled the construction of know-how and greater interactivity between students and teachers involved in theteaching-learning process.

La sarcoidosis es una enfermedad granulomatosa crónica multisistémica de origen desconocido, caracterizada histológicamente por granulomas no caseosos. Los órganos más afectados son: pulmón, ojo, hueso y piel. La afectación cutánea ocurre en, aproximadamente, un 25 por ciento de los casos. Una presentación infrecuente es la sarcoidosis ulcerativa, encontrando en la bibliografía sólo 39 casos descritos previamente. La sarcoidosis ulcerativa afecta más frecuentemente a mujeres negras, jóvenes-adultas; la localización típica son las extremidades inferiores y el tratamiento de elección son los corticosteroides. Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 32 años, que sobre cicatrices desarrolló lesiones ulceradas. La biopsia demostró granulomas no caseosos. La respuesta al tratamiento con corticoides orales fue exitosa.
