ABSTRACT

INTRODUÇÃO: A hidradenite é uma doença cutânea crônica, que acomete as regiões que abrigam as glândulas apócrinas. Tem uma prevalência estimada de 1% da população, com predileção pelo sexo feminino. MÉTODO:LMN, 48 anos, sexo feminino. Ao exame, a paciente apresentava nodulações palpáveis, coalescentes, dolorosas e uma área de fibrose e retração cicatricial circunjacente em ambas as axilas, principalmente em axila esquerda. Submetida a exérese ampla das lesões em axila e região torácica esquerda, sendo necessária a realização de um retalho fasciocutâneo de rotação, habitualmente usado em pacientes submetidas à quadrantectomia lateral. RESULTADOS: Obteve-se um resultado estético satisfatório associado à preservação dos movimentos. CONCLUSÃO:Apesar de existirem poucos casos relatando o uso do retalho fasciocutâneo toracodorsal lateral, essa técnica mostrou ser excelente alternativa na reconstrução axilar, devido à facilidade de ressecção, boa cobertura da área receptora além de um resultado estético satisfatório.


INTRODUCTION:Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic skin disease that affects the regions harboring the apocrine sweat glands. It has an estimated prevalence of 1% of the population and a preference for the female sex. METHOD: LMN, a 48-year-old female patient, presented, on examination, palpable, coalescent, painful nodules and a circumjacent area of fibrosis and scar retraction in both axillae, mainly in the left axilla. She was subjected to wide excision of the lesions at the axilla and left thoracic region, with a need for a rotational fasciocutaneous flap, usually used in patients who undergo lateral quadrantectomy. RESULTS: A satisfactory aesthetic result was attained, together with the preservation of movements. CONCLUSION: Although there are few reported cases of the use of the lateral thoracodorsal fasciocutaneous flap, this technique is an excellent alternative in axillary reconstruction, owing to the ease of resection, good coverage of the receiving area, and the satisfactory aesthetic result.

ABSTRACT

Os hidrocistomas écrinos são lesões raras, císticas e benignas, que resultam em deformidades nas regiões palpebrais bilateralmente. Vários tratamentos são citados na literatura, porém nenhum deles é considerado padrão de referência. Deve-se somar as impressões obtidas à avaliação clínica e aos recursos disponíveis. Paciente de 73 anos, feminino, apresentando tumorações em regiões palpebrais bilaterais, de crescimento lento, com obstrução parcial do campo de visão e ectrópio. Foi submetida a dois procedimentos cirúrgicos para ressecção, em 2007 e em 2008. Apresentou melhora significativa do contorno palpebral bilateral, com boa simetria entre as regiões. O exame histopatológico concluiu: hidrocistoma écrino. O tratamento cirúrgico para a polipose palpebral bilateral relacionada ao hidrocistoma écrino mostrou-se uma modalidade que pode apresentar bons resultados estéticos e funcionais, sendo reprodutível, e sem causar maiores morbidades pós-operatórias ao paciente.


Eccrine hidrocystomas are rare lesions, cysts, or benign tumors, which lead to bilateral deformities in the eyelid areas. Several treatments are described in the literature. However, none of them has been established as the gold standard. Hence, it becomes necessary to consider the contribution of different opinions and available resources to clinical evaluation. A 73-year-old female patient presented with slow-growing tumors on both eyelids, which consequently led to partial visual field obstruction and ectropion. She underwent 2 surgical resections, one in 2007 and the other in 2008. As a result, she showed significant improvement of the bilateral eyelid contours and satisfactory symmetry between the areas. Histopathological diagnosis indicated eccrine hidrocystoma. The surgical treatment of bilateral eyelid polyposis associated with eccrine hidrocystoma proved to be a reproducible procedure that may ensure satisfactory aesthetic and functional results, without causing major postoperative morbidities to the patient.

ABSTRACT

La hiperhidrosis axilar es una condición muy invalidante para los pacientes que la padecen, ya que el estar permanentemente húmedos les provoca malestar, sensación de menoscabo y altera la vida de relación. La gran mayoría de los pacientes mejoran con los tratamientos tópicos, con iontoforesis o toxina botulínica, que, si bien son tratamientos paliativos, son capaces de terminar con las molestias.Sin embargo, existe un reducido grupo de pacientes que no responden a ningún tratamiento médico, presentando hiperhidrosis recalcitrante. Para ellos la opción quirúrgica es definitiva, ya sea mediante la simpatectomía dorsal alta, eliminando así la vía nerviosa eferente de la sudoración, que es una excelente opción para aquellos pacientes portadores de hiperhidrosis de axilas y manos; o a través de las técnicas para eliminar el órgano efector, las glándulas sudorales, en pacientes con hiperhidrosis limitada a las axilas.Se presentan tres técnicas quirúrgicas para eliminar la masa glandular: la técnica de Skoog con 4 colgajos, la liposucción y la técnica de Stenquist, que remueve la piel y sus glándulas.La serie es de nueve pacientes operados en 17 años; en siete de ellos se utilizó la técnica de Stenquist por ser la más sencilla, con menos complicaciones y excelentes resultados.


Axillary hyperhidrosis is a very distressing problem, excessive sweating and wet marks can be responsible for serious personal and social handicaps.The vast majority of patients improve with topical treatments using iontophoresis or with Botulinum toxin A, and although they are palliative therapies, they do put an end to the discomfort. However a small group of patients remains unresponsive to any medical treatment presenting a recalcitrant form of hyperhidrosis. For these patients, surgical option is a definitive solution, either by dorsal sympathectomy, eliminating the efferent pathway, ideal for axillary and palmar hyperhidrosis, or by extirpation of the effector organ, the sweat glands, in patients suffering only from axillary hyperhidrosis. Three surgical techniques are presented: Skoog’s technique with four-flaps, liposuction, and Stenquist’s technique that removes the skin and the subsidiary adipose tissue and glands.Nine patients surgically treated in a 17-year period constitute this clinical experience. Seven were operated with Stenquist’s technique, the most simple, with an excellent outcome.
