RESUMEN
Abstract: Background: Acne in women is often associated with anxiety and depression, and may persist from adolescence as well as manifest for the first time in adulthood. Genetic and hormonal factors contribute to its etiopathogenesis, and maintenance treatment is required, usually for years, due to its clinical evolution. Objective: To develop a guide for the clinical practice of adult female acne. Methods: A team of five experts with extensive experience in acne conducted a literature review of the main scientific evidence and met to discuss the best practices and personal experiences to develop a guide containing recommendations for the clinical practice of adult female acne. Results: The group of specialists reached consensus on the main guidelines for clinical practice, providing detailed recommendations on clinical picture, etiopathogenesis, laboratory investigation and treatment of adult female acne. Conclusion: Different from teenage acne, adult female acne presents some characteristics and multiple etiopathogenic factors that make its management more complex. This guide provides recommendations for best clinical practices and therapeutic decisions. However, the authors consider that additional studies are needed in order to provide more evidence for adult female acne to be better understood.

O pioderma gangrenoso pode apresentar-se como manifestação paraneoplásica. Relata-se um caso de pioderma gangrenoso, da variante bolhosa, acompanhado de bicitopenia, em que foi evidenciado, por meio de mielograma, biópsia de medula óssea e cariótipo, padrão compatível com síndrome mielodisplásica, subtipo citopenia refratária com displasia de multilinhagens. Foi tratado com dapsona, obtendo cicatrização das lesões. O pioderma gangrenoso pode associar-se a doenças sistêmicas, devendo a síndrome mielodisplásica ser considerada nos casos acompanhados de citopenias. Portanto, o pioderma gangrenoso pode ser um marcador cutâneo de doença sistêmica de prognóstico reservado.
Pyoderma gangrenosum can present as a cutaneous manifestation of paraneoplastic syndromes. A case of bullous pyoderma gangrenosum associated with bicytopenia is described. During the complementary investigation, myelogram, bone marrow biopsy and karyotype were performed, and showed a pattern consistent with myelodysplastic syndrome. The patient was treated with dapsone with improvement. Pyoderma gangrenosum can be a manifestation of systemic diseases. The possibility of myelodysplastic syndrome should always be considered in patients with pyoderma gangrenosum associated with cytopenia. Pyoderma gangrenosum could indicate poorer prognosis in patients with systemic diseases.
