ABSTRACT
El carcinoma epidermoide es una proliferación maligna de células epidérmicas que muestra características variables de la epidermis suprabasal normal; es el tumor mas frecuente de las zonas de piel expuesta a los rayos solares y mucosas, en personas mayores alrededor de los 60 años, con incidencia superior en el sexo masculino en una proporción de 10:1, y moderada probabilidad de causar metástasis. Además de la luz solar hay otros factores predisponentes implicados en su aparición como son la inmunosuperación en pacientes que han sido sometidos a quimioterapia o trasplantes de órganos, por lo que se ha visto su aparición en pacientes más jóvenes. El caso que se presenta se trata de una paciente femenina de 55 años de edad, sin antecedentes de exposición prolongada a los rayos de luz ultra violeta, ni traumático conocido en el área de la lesión.

A paquidermodactilia é forma rara de fibromatose digital envolvendo as porções proximais dos dedos, que afeta homens jovens. Apresenta-se caso de paciente de 25 anos com quadro de nódulos assintomáticos nas mãos há dois anos, e há três meses com lesões semelhantes nos pés e no joelho direito. O exame histopatológico revelou espessamento da derme com proliferação de fibroblastos e de fibras colágenas e aumento de mucina. O caso descrito corresponde à paquidermodactilia do tipo transgressiva.
Pachydermodactyly is a rare form of digital fibromatosis involving the proximal portions of the fingers that usually affects young males. We present a 25-year-old male patient with a twoyear history of asymptomatic nodules in the fingers. Three months before the visit, he had observed similar lesions on the feet and right knee. Histopathological analysis showed thickened dermis with proliferation of fibroblasts and collagenous fibers, with deposition of mucinous material. This represents a rare case of pachydermodactyly of transgrediens form.
