ABSTRACT
Os autores apresentam imagens de duas formas clínicas mais frequentes da Donovanose, em ambos sexos. A donovanose é considerada uma doença sexualmente transmissível, endêmica nas regiões tropicais e semitropicais do globo. Apresentam também imagens de duas lâminas: uma da pesquisa direta (corpúsculos de Donovan, dentro de grandes células mononucleadas coradas de vermelho pelo Giemsa) e outra de achados histológicos típicos (formato de alfinete dentro do histiócito).
The authors present images of two of the most common clinical forms of granuloma inguinale (donovanosis) in males and females. Donovanosis is considered a sexually transmitted disease that is endemic in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Two microscopic images are also shown, one of a direct smear (the presence of Donovan bodies within large mononuclear cells identified using Giemsa stain) and the other of typical histological findings (rod-shaped Donovan bodies within a mononuclear histiocyte).

Two cases of donovanosis in term pregnancy are presented. They are characterized by their great extension and their long duration (more than six years). Both newborn were normal; one delivered by vaginal route and other by cesarean section. In both cases, the disease was successfully treated during the post partum period.

The clinicopathological features of fifteen cases of granuloma inguinale diagnosed over a six-year period (1980-1985) are reported. The biopsy sites included cervix uteri, penis, vulva, perineum, anus, endometrium and vaginal wall, in decreassisng order of frequency. The incidence was roughly equal in both sexes with an age range of 16-78 years. In females, the msot frequent clinical diagnosis was carcinoma. The findings indicate that the clinical and histopatological diagnosis of granuloma inguinale entails a high degree of suspcion in a community where the disease in uncommon
