Résumé
Embora pouco frequente na prática clínica, o uso de retinoides sistêmicos pode provocar alterações no formato, na coloração e textura das hastes capilares. Relatamos o caso de um paciente tratado com isotretinoína para acne vulgar que experimentou mudança do tipo capilar, de liso para encaracolado. Tais modificações são possíveis ao longo da terapia com retinoides orais; entretanto, a mudança do formato dos fios induzida pela isotretinoína é um fenômeno extremamente raro na literatura
Although little reported in daily practice, the use of systemic retinoids can cause changes in the shape, color, and texture of hair shafts. We report a case of a patient treated with isotretinoin for acne vulgaris who experienced new growing curly hair. Such hair changes are recognized during therapy with oral retinoids; however, isotretinoin-induced modifications on the hair fiber curvature are extremely rare.
Résumé
El hemangioendotelioma kaposiforme es un tumor vascular agresivo y raro que ocurre predominantemente en la infancia. Suele tener localización cutánea o retroperitoneal. Frecuentemente se asocia con el fenómeno de Kasabach-Merritt y ocasionalmente con linfangiomatosis. Las lesiones cutáneas deben ser diferenciadas clínicamente del hemangioma de la infancia, de los hemangiomas congénitos (RICH y NICH) y de otros tumores vasculares. Describimos un caso de hemangioendotelioma kaposiforme cutáneo en una niña de 10 años.
Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma is a rare aggressive vascular tumor that predominantly occurs at infancy and early childhood. It usually presents cutaneous or retroperitoneal location. It is frequently associated with Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon and occasionally with lymphangiomatosis. Cutaneous lesions must be clinically differentiated from infantile hemangiomas, congenital hemangiomas (RICH and NICH) and other vascular tumors. We present a case of cutaneous kaposiform hemangioendothelioma in a 10-year-old girl.
