ABSTRACT

Resumen Antecedentes: Los procedimientos coronarios invasivos conllevan la administración de contraste y la exposición a radiaciones ionizantes, comportando un incremento de la morbimortalidad. La angiografía coronaria rotacional (ACR) permite adquirir múltiples proyecciones con una inyección de contraste. Hasta la fecha, no hay metaanálisis específicos comparando la ACR y la angiografía coronaria convencional (ACC) en pacientes en los que se realizan procedimientos coronarios invasivos, tanto diagnósticos como diagnósticos y terapéuticos. El objetivo de este metaanálisis es evaluar el impacto de la ACR en la cantidad de contraste, y la radiación ionizante en procedimientos coronarios invasivos. Métodos: Se realizó una búsqueda en las bases de datos PubMed y Ovid para identificar estudios tanto diagnósticos como diagnósticos y terapéuticos que comparasen ACR y ACC. Los estudios fueron evaluados sobre la calidad y los sesgos, y fueron incluidos si contemplaban alguna de las siguientes variables de valoración: volumen de contraste, radiación ionizante medida como producto dosis-área, Kerma-aire o tiempo de fluoroscopia. Resultados: Dieciséis estudios, totalizando 2,327 pacientes, fueron incluidos en el análisis final (1,146 pacientes recibieron ACR y 1,181, ACC), objetivándose diferencias significativas en volumen de contraste (diferencia estándar de medias (intervalo de confianza al 95%) −1.887 (−2.472 a −1.302); p < 0.001), producto dosis-área (−0.726 (−1.034 a −0.418); p < 0.001), Kerma-aire (−0.842 (−1.104 a −0.581); p < 0.001) y tiempo de fluoroscopia (0.263 (−0.496 a −0.030); p = 0.027). Conclusiones: La ACR permite reducir el volumen de contraste y la radiación, evaluada como producto dosis-área, Kerma-aire y tiempo de fluoroscopia en pacientes a los que se les realizan procedimientos coronarios invasivos.


Abstract Background: Invasive coronary procedures involve the administration of iodinated contrast and the exposure to ionising radiations, increasing morbidity and mortality. The rotational coronary angiography (RCA) allows acquiring multiple projections with a unique injection of iodinated contrast. To date, there are no meta-analyses specifically comparing RCA and conventional coronary angiography (CCA) in patients undergoing invasive coronary procedures, whether diagnostic or diagnostic and therapeutic. The aim of this meta-analysis is to assess the impact of RCA on the amount of iodinated contrast and the exposure to ionising radiations during invasive coronary procedures. Methods: A search in PubMed and Ovid databases was conducted to identify studies, including diagnostic and diagnostic and therapeutic studies, comparing RCA and CCA. The manuscripts were evaluated on quality and biases, and were included if they analysed any of the following endpoints: volume of contrast and exposure to ionising radiations measured as dose-area product, and Kerma-air or fluoroscopy time. Results: Sixteen studies, with a total of 2,327 patients, were included in the final analysis (1,146 patients underwent RCA and 1,181 patients underwent CCA), with significant differences being detected in volume of contrast (standard difference in means (95% confidence interval) −1.887 (−2.472 to −1.302); P < .001), dose-area product (−0.726 (−1.034 to −0.418); P < .001), Kerma-air (−0.842 (−1.104 to −0.581); P < .001), and fluoroscopy time (0.263 (−0.496 to −0.030); P = .027). Conclusions: RCA reduces the volume of contrast and the exposure to radiation, evaluated as dose-area product, Kerma-air, and fluoroscopy time, in patients undergoing invasive coronary procedures.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES:Compare the use of carbon dioxide contrast medium with iodine contrast medium for the endovascular treatment of ilio-femoral occlusive disease in patients without contraindications to iodine.MATERIALS AND METHODS:From August 2012 to August 2014, 21 consecutive patients with ilio-femoral occlusive disease who were eligible for endovascular treatment and lacked contraindications to either iodine contrast or carbon dioxide were randomized into the carbon dioxide or iodine groups and subjected to ilio-femoral angioplasty.We analyzed the feasibility of the procedures, the surgical and clinical outcomes, the procedure lengths, the endovascular material costs, the contrast costs and the quality of the angiographic images in each group.RESULTS:No conversions to open surgery and no contrast media related complications were noted in either group. A post-operative femoral pulse was present in 88.9% of the iodine group and 80% of the carbon dioxide group. No differences in procedure length, endovascular material cost or renal function variation were noted between the groups. Four patients in the carbon dioxide group required iodine supplementation to complete the procedure. Contrast media expenses were reduced in the carbon dioxide group. Regarding angiographic image quality, 82% of the carbon dioxide images were graded as either good or fair by observers.CONCLUSIONS:The use of carbon dioxide contrast medium is a good option for ilio-femoral angioplasty in patients without contraindications to iodine and is not characterized by differences in endovascular material costs, procedure duration and surgical outcomes. In addition, carbon dioxide has lower contrast expenses compared with iodine.

ABSTRACT

En el presente artículo se describe un caso clínico de incisivos afectados por reabsorción apical externa. Dado que el tratamiento de la reabsorción requiere la aplicación de numerosas maniobras apropiadas, se comenzó por realizar el diagnóstico clínico-radiográfico adecuado. El paciente presentaba ortodoncia fija superior e inferior, edema en el fondo de surco de la zona anteroinferior, test de vitalidad negativo en los dientes 31 y 41, incisivos inferiores asintomáticos y con respuesta positiva a las pruebas de vitalidad. Concluido el diagnóstico, se aplicó un procedimiento alternativo que consistió en la inmediata supresión de las fuerzas ortodónticas, aperturas camerales en las piezas 31 y 41, medicación y cronificación del proceso agudo. Con el fin de lograr la reparación de las piezas afectadas, estos dientes fueron tratados con sesiones intermedias de pasta alcalina, compuesta por hidróxido de calcio, iodoformo y clorofenol alcanforado. Al observar en los controles silencio clínico y comienzo de neoformación ósea en la zona, se realizó la terapia definitiva. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que si bien los tratamientos de dientes con reabsorción apical externa son intervenciones complicadas, son posibles de tratar sin necesidad de recurrir a intervenciones quirúrgicas, aportando beneficios psicológicos y económicos para el paciente.

ABSTRACT

A Injúria Renal Aguda (IRA) no contexto do paciente politraumatizado ocorre, na maioria das vezes, por uma conjuntura de fatores que passam por eventos correlacionados à ressuscitação volêmica inicial, ao grau de resposta inflamatória sistêmica associada ao trauma, ao uso de contraste iodado para procedimentos diagnósticos, à rabdomiólise e à síndrome compartimental abdominal. Atualmente, passamos por uma fase de uniformização dos critérios diagnósticos da IRA com o Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN), sendo a referência mais aceita. Consequentemente, o estudo da IRA no politraumatismo também passa por uma fase de reformulação. Esta revisão da literatura médica visa trazer dados epidemiológicos, fisiológicos e de implicação clínica para o manuseio destes pacientes, bem como expor os riscos do uso indiscriminado de expansores volêmicos e particularidades sobre a instituição de terapia renal substitutiva em indivíduos sob risco de hipertensão intracraniana.


Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) in trauma is, in most cases, multifactorial. Factors related to the initial ressuscitation protocol, degree of the systemic inflamatory response to trauma, contrast nephropathy in diagnostic procedures, rhabdomyolysis and abdominal compartment syndrome are some of those factors. Nowadays a uniformization in diagnostic criteria for AKI has been proposed by the Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN) and as a result the incidence of AKI and its impact in outcomes in trauma patients also needs to be reconsider. In this review we aim to approach epidemiologic, physiologic and clinical relevant data in the critical care of patients victims of trauma and also to expose the risks of indiscriminate use of volume expanders and the interaction between renal replacement theraphy and intracranial hypertension.

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial activity of 2% iodine potassium iodide (IKI) used as a final rinse after the cleaning and shaping procedures in mesial root canals of mandibular molars infected with Enterococcus faecalis. Seventy two mandibular first molars were used. The root canals were infected with Enterococcus faecalis for 30 days. After the infection procedures, the root canals were cleaned and shaped by using the ProTaper rotary system and manual files. The teeth were randomly assigned to four experimental groups (N=18). In group 1, the root canals were irrigated with sterile distilled water (control). In group 2, the root canals were irrigated with 1% Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) during instrumentation. In group 3, root canals were irrigated with 1% NaOCl during instrumentation and a five minute final irrigation using 2 % IKI. In group 4, the root canals were irrigated with 1% NaOCl during instrumentation and a 15 minutes final irrigation with 2 % IKI. Bacteria colony-forming units (CFU) from root canals were semi-quantified and the presence of negative cultures among the groups was compared using Fisher’s test (p < 0,05). The order of effectiveness was: 1% NaOCl plus 2% IKI for 15 minutes (95%), 1% NaOCl plus 2% IKI for 5 minutes (44%), 1% NaOCl (17%) and sterile distilled water (0%). Fisher’s exact test showed a significant difference among the groups (p<0.05). It was concluded that under in vitro conditions, IKI was able to eliminate the Enterococcus faecalis from infected dentin significantly in a 15-minute time frame after the cleaning and shaping procedures.


El objetivo del presente trabajo fue determinar el efecto in vitro del yoduro de potasio yodado al 2% posterior a la preparacion quimiomecanica en conductos radiculares infectados con Enterococcus faecalis. Para este estudio, se emplearon 72 primeras molares inferiores permanentes de humanos, los cuales fueron infectados con Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212. Los conductos fueron preparados mediante instrumentacion rotatoria y distribuidos de manera aleatoria en cuatro grupos de acuerdo al irrigante empleado: Grupo 1, agua destilada esteril; Grupo 2, NaOCl al 1%; Grupo 3: NaOCl al 1% IKI al 2% durante cinco minutos; y, Grupo 4: NaOCl al 1% mas IKI al 2% durante 15 minutos. Se tomaron muestras pre y postoperatorias de los conductos y se realizo la semicuantificacion microbiologica de las unidades formadoras de colonias de las bacterias. Fue comparada la presencia de cultivos negativos en los grupos mediante el test de Fisher utilizando un nivel de significancia de p < 0.05. El orden de efectividad para la desinfeccion de los conductos radiculares de mayor a menor fue: NaOCl al 1 % mas IKI al 2% durante 15 minutos (95%), NaOCl al 1% mas IKI al 2% durante 5 minutos (44%), NaOCl al 1% (17%) y agua destilada (0%). Se concluye, que bajo las condiciones in vitro de este estudio, el yoduro de potasio yodado empleado despues de la instrumentacion fue capaz de eliminar significativamente a la bacteria Enterococcus faecalis en un tiempo de 15 minutos.

ABSTRACT

El objetivo de este estudio in vitro fue evaluar la presencia extrarradicular del iodoformo y sus derivados, cuando son usados en la composición de medicamentos colocados en elconducto radicular durante la terapia endodóncica. Se dividieron 16 raíces de premolares inferiores humanos en 3 grupos de 5 especímenes, cuyos conductos fueron preparados químicoquirúrgicamente y rellenados con un medicamento a base de iodoformo y 1 espécimen sinmedicamento como control. En el Grupo 1, el cemento se mantuvo intacto. En el Grupo 2, se removió el cemento cervical y mediano a través de raspado, tras la colocación de la medicación intracanal. En el Grupo 3, se removió el cemento 7 días después de la colocación de lamedicación intracanal. Se sumergió cada espécimen en 15 ml de etanol P.A. En seguida, 2, 5, 7 y 15 días tras la inmersión, se recogieron muestras para espectrofotometría. Los resultadosmuestran que todas las raíces con medicación intracanal dejan pasar iodoformo y sus derivados para el etanol a través de la dentina y del cemento radicular, y que la cantidad aumenta conel curso de los días de observación. La comparación con los grupos muestra que la cantidad de iodoformo en orden creciente fue del Grupo 1 hacia el Grupo 2 y la mayor concentración extrarradicular fue del Grupo 3. Se concluye que las medicaciones con iodoformo son capaces de impregnar la dentina y el cemento y difundirse por el periodonto adyacente, especialmentea partir del 15vo. día del experimento en los grupos donde se removió el cemento radicular, con un pasaje mayor cuando esta remoción ocurrió después del 7mo. día.

ABSTRACT

La miasis bucal es una enfermedad tropical, producida por ectoparásitos que se encuentra en resurgimiento, de acuerdo a diversos reportes. Se manifiesta como tumores ulcerados dolorosos, principalmente de localización palatina. Debido a esto, es importante que el odontólogo tenga conocimiento de sus aspectos epidemiológicos, clínicos, diagnósticos, terapéuticos y preventivos, ya que en la cavidad bucal se pueden presentar manifestaciones de dicha patología. En este artíciulo se expondrán las manifestaciones clínicas de dos pacientes que estudiamos y tratamos en la Cátedra de Clínica Estomatológica de la Facultad de Odontología de Buenos Aires.

ABSTRACT

Congenital hemangioma (CH), which is already fully formed at birth, is a rare clinical entity that is distinctly different from the common postnatally-occurring hemangioma of infancy (HOI). These two forms of CH have been described according to their clinical courses: apart from the clinical features of presentation at birth, there is the rapidly involuting congenital hemangioma (RICH) with rapid involution shortly after birth and the noninvoluting congenital hemangioma (NICH) with neither postnatal enlargement nor spontaneous involution. It is important to recognize this uncommon disease entity NICH in the early period because it has no tendency for spontaneous regression, so timely therapeutic intervention is needed, which is in contrast to that of HOI. We present 3 patients who were 1-, 3- and 13-year-old girls with red-stippled blue to blue gray vascular lesion. They all showed their lesions since birth and the lesions remained unchanged with no subjective symptoms. Doppler ultrasonography demonstrated a well-defined fast-flowed vascular lesion confined to the dermis and subcutis. The histology commonly showed lobular growth of capillaries, centrilobular irregular and often stellate vessels, extralobular large vessels and more conclusively, negative staining for GLUT-1, which is unlike HOI.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Hemangioma of infancy (HOI) is one of the most common tumors in childhood. Their clinical features can on occasion look like those of other vascular tumors and malformations, so the correct differentiation of HOI may not always be easy. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to review the clinicopathological features of HOIs and to particularlyexamine the usefulness of glucose transporter protein isoform-1 (GLUT-1) immunohistochemical stain (IHS) as a specific marker of HOI. METHODS: This study was conducted at the Vascular Anomaly Clinic of Kyungpook National University Hospital during 11 years (1998~2008). Sixty-two cases were selected in addition to selecting other tumors and malformation as a control group. We then reviewed their clinical features and the results of H&E and GLUT-1 IHS for making the differential diagnosis. RESULTS: The male to female ratio was 1 : 2.88. The head and neck were the most commonly involved sites. The complications included ulceration and/or bleeding (12.9%), scarring (9.7%), infection (4.8%), ocular complications (4.8%) like visual axis occlusion, and pain (1.6%). Three phases of proliferating, involuting and involuted of a HOI comprised 11.3%, 37.1% and 51.6% of the lesions, respectively, from the clinical view point and 11.3%, 48.4% and 40.3% of the lesions, respectively, from the pathological point of view. GLUT-1 was positively expressed on almost all of the HOIs (47/57, 82.5%), except for 10 HOIs of the involuted phase and the other controls. CONCLUSION: The clinicopathological findings of this study were similar with those of the previous reports. The expression of GLUT-1 by a HOI can be helpful to make the correct diagnosis from other vascular tumors and malformations.

ABSTRACT

Esta pesquisa objetivou realizar revisão sistemática da literatura relacionada ao uso de iodóforos tópicos no tratamento de feridas agudas. Os ensaios clínicos foram localizados por meio da Base de Dados Cochrane, utilizando-se os seguintes descritores: iodine, acute wound, treatment, healing, infection, surgery, surgical. Vinte (52,6 por cento), dentre 38 artigos, enquadraramse nos critérios de inclusão, sendo analisados quanto às características dos periódicos e dos estudos e classificados em: iodóforo versus outros agentes tópicos (4/ 20 por cento); iodóforo versus coberturas (1/ 5 por cento); iodóforo versus soro fisiológico (5/ 25 por cento); iodóforo versus sem iodóforo (8/ 40 por cento) e iodóforos em diferentes concentrações (2/ 10 por cento). Resultados favoráveis para os iodóforos ocorreram em 45 por cento dos artigos. Quanto às tendências dos resultados, três dentre cinco artigos mostraram-se favoráveis para a cicatrização de feridas e prevenção de infecção e nove dentre 15 artigos foram desfavoráveis ao uso de iodóforos tópicos quando somente a prevenção de infecção foi investigada.


The purpose of this study was to carry out a systematic review of the literature regarding the use of topic iodine and/or compounds in the treatment of acute wounds. The clinical trials were searched at the Cochrane's database using the following descriptors: iodine, acute wound, treatment, healing, infection, surgery, surgical. Twenty studies (52.6 percent) out of 38 met the criteria for inclusion. The articles were analyzed regarding journal and study characteristics and classified into five groups: iodine versus other topic agents (4/ 20 percent); iodine versus types of dressings (1/ 5 percent); iodine versus saline solution (5/ 25 percent); iodine versus no iodine (8/ 40 percent); and iodine at different concentrations (2/ 10 percent). Favorable results for the use of iodine and/or compounds occurred in 45 percent of the studies. Three out of 5 studies showed favorable results for healing and prevention of infection and 9 out of 15 studies were not favorable when only infection prevention was investigated.


En esta investigación se tuvo como objetivo realizar una revisión sistemática de la literatura respecto a la utilización del yodo tópico y/o compuestos en el tratamiento de las heridas agudas. Los ensayos clínicos fueron localizados por medio de la Base de Datos Cochrane, utilizándose los siguientes descriptores: iodine, acute wound, treatment, healing, infection, surgery, surgical. Veinte (52,6 por ciento), de 38 artículos, se encuadraron en los criterios de inclusión, siendo analizados en cuanto a las características de los periódicos y de los estudios y clasificados en: yodo versus otros agentes tópicos (4/ 20 por ciento); yodo versus apósitos (1/ 5 por ciento); yodo versus solución fisiológica (5/ 25 por ciento); yodo versus sin yodo (8/ 40 por ciento) y yodo en diferentes concentraciones (2/ 10 por ciento). Resultados favorables para el yodo se obtuvieron en el 45 por ciento de los artículos. En cuanto a las tendencias de los resultados, tres de cinco artículos se mostraron favorables para la cicatrización de heridas y prevención de infección y nueve de 15 artículos fueron desfavorables al uso del yodo tópico cuando sólo la prevención de infección fue investigada.

ABSTRACT

Tufted angioma is a rare slowly progressive vascular tumor, characterized by histopathologic findings of numerous angiomatous lobules of "cannonball" appearance within the dermis. It affects children but occurs infrequently at birth. It appears as a clinical imitator of hemangioma of infancy (HOI), so it needs to be differentiated from HOI. Clinically, lesions most often present as red to purple, indurated or nodular plaque, and are usually located on the neck, upper trunk or proximal limb. We report six cases of tufted angioma of congenital onset. We undertook immunohistochemical study using CD31, D2-40 and GLUT1 to rule out other vascular tumors or malformations, particularly HOI. These cases may demonstrate the keys of differential diagnosis between HOI and tufted angioma, which share common features clinically and rarely histopathologically.

ABSTRACT

El nombre sífilis proviene del griego siph: cerdo y philus: amor. Recuerda al personaje de una obra, llamado Syphilo, que fue castigado por los dioses a sufrir una terrible enfermedad. Se analizan los datos sobre la sífilis en la antigüedad (que difieren según su fuente). Su mención en la Edad Media, su controversial origen, la ayuda de los paleopatólogos para encontrarlo. Luego de la Revolución Francesa y el inicio de la Edad Contemporánea, el porcentaje de enfermos fue creciendo y se acentuó la segregación de los mismos por la sociedad. Desde el año 1500 hasta principios del siglo XX el tratamiento de la sífilis dependía del mercurio. Tenía una gran variedad de formas de aplicación. La vía tópica: el ungüento gris, en calomelano o tabletas, en inyecciones, en fricciones y fumigaciones en donde el mercurio se introducía en el cuerpo por lo pulmones. Se adjudicó a la madera del guayaco pretendidas características curativas, que no poseía. Los ioduros se utilizaron para el terciarismo. Ehrlich en 1907, patentó el compuesto 606 o Salvarsan y en 1910, el Neo-Salvarsan o Arsfenamina (compuesto 914). Por estos descubrimientos recibió el Premio Nobel. En 1887, Julios Wagner Jauregg sugirió que la fiebre terapéuticamente inducida era útil en el tratamiento de enfermos psicóticos. En 1912 publicó sus satisfactorios resultados al tratar la paresias con una combinación de mercurio-iodo y tuberculina de Koch. En 1917 ingresó a su servicio un enfermo de malaria, con cuya sangre escarificaron la piel palúdica de tres paréticos, en lugar de darle inmediatamente quinina. Por ello fue galardona con el Premio Nobel. Se utilizó luego el bismuto, a partir de 1922, pero posteriormente fue sustituido por las sulfamidas, de aplicación dificultosa. El avance terapéutico más importante ocurrió en 1943, año en que se comenzó a utilizar la penicilina por Mahoney y colaboradores. Luego se confirmó la eficacia de la tetraciclina para los alérgicos a la penicilina. Últimamente se confirmó la eficacia de la azitromicina en dosis de 500mg cada día, durante los 10 días o el régimen de 500mg en días alternos.


The name Syphilis comes from greek language: Siph: Pig and Philus: Love, meaning, in honor of the Sheppard of a story where the Character, Named Syphilo, is punished by the gods to suffer a terrible disease. Data about Syphilis was analized in ancient times (which differ according to the source). Its mention in the middle age, its controversial origin, the help provided from paleopathologists to find it. When the French revolution and the beginning of the contemporary age began, the percentage of sick people grew. The segregation of these is proved by the society. From the year 1500 to the beginnings of the XX century, the treatment of Syphilis depended on mercury. There were a great variety of application methods: topical: the grey ointment, in «calomelanos or tabs¼, in injections, in frictions and fumigations where the mercury was introduced in the body by the lungs. Guayacos wood was named with curative features which it did not posses. The iodides were used for tertiary syphilis. In 1907, Ehrlich formulates the 606 compound or Salvarsan and in 1910 the Neo-Salvarsan or Arsfenamina or compound 914.Due to these discoveries he received the nobel prize. In 1887, Julius Wagner of Jauregg suggested that: the inducted therapeutic fiber was useful in the treatment of the psychosis. In 1912 he published his satisfactory results in treating the paresis with a combination of mercury and iodides and tuberculin of Koch. In 1917 he treated a patient who had malaria and instead of giving him immediately quinine, he made a scarification with his paludic blood the skin of 3 paretic patients. Because of this he was awarded with the nobel prize. Since 1922 bismuth was used, but then it was substituted by the sulphamidas of difficult application. The most important therapeutical advance happened in 1943, year in which penicillin was put in use by Mahoney and col. Later it was confirmed the efficiency of the tetracycline for the penicillin-allergic patients. Lately it has been confirmed the efficiency of the azithromizine in 500 mg dosis each day during 10 days or the regimen of 500 mg in alternate days.

ABSTRACT

A tomografia computadorizada tem sido um exame radiológico de ampla indicação e escolha para fins diagnósticos, principalmente na última década. No entanto, apesar de ser bastante elucidativo, em diversos casos, o procedimento oferece riscos associados à exposição à radiação e ao meio de contraste iodado. Sobre estas questões é escassa a disponibilidade de publicações na literatura de enfermagem. Assim, apresenta-se uma revisão bibliográfica, com ênfase na exposição ao contraste iodado e nas reações adversas que podem advir do seu uso. Além disso, são descritas as ações que os profissionais da equipe de saúde, alocados em serviços desta natureza, podem realizar para diminuir a ocorrência desses eventos adversos ou minimizar sua gravidade.


Computed tomography is an X-ray exam that has been widely indicated and chosen for diagnostic purposes, especially during the last few decades. However, although it is highly revealing, in several cases the procedure presents risks associated with exposure to radiation and to the iodine contrast medium. Few publications are available in the nursing literature regarding these issues. Therefore, a review of literature is presented, emphasizing exposure to iodine contrast and adverse reactions that may arise from its use. In addition, actions are described that can be taken by the health care team professionals to reduce the occurrence of such adverse events or minimize their severity.

ABSTRACT

Comunicamos 6 casos de telangiectasia macularis eruptiva perstans, forma de mastocitosis cutánea de rara observación en la casuística nacional e internacional. Exponemos el hallazgo inusual de compromiso facial, con la presencia de lesiones maculosas y telangiectásicas en dos de los pacientes, así como la ausencia de dermografismo y signo de Darier en todos los casos, hechos que motivaron la presentación de este trabajo. Se efectúa una revisión de las características de la mastocitosis y de distintas clasificaciones de la misma. Se destaca el valor relativo del aumento del número de mastocitos en el estudio histológico de esta entidad
