Morfea mamaria. Presentación de un caso / Breast Morphea. Case Presentation

RESUMEN

La esclerodermia localizada es la forma localizada cutánea de esclerodermia, caracterizada por una fibrosis que se manifiesta en forma de placas o bandas cutáneas escleróticas infiltradas al tacto. La prevalencia se estima en aproximadamente 1-9/100.000, por tal razón se presenta el caso de una paciente con manifestaciones de una esclerodermia cutánea localizada cuya lesión apareció en una mama dos meses antes de asistir a consulta en su área de salud. La principal lesión que presentaba era una placa áspera, que no se dejaba pellizcar, de color carmelita, bordes irregulares, de aproximadamente seis centímetros de diámetro, localizada en mitad inferior de la mama derecha, incluyendo pezón y areola. Se detectaron las alteraciones histológicas propias de la enfermedad de base lo que corroboró el diagnóstico planteado y se descartó mediante otros exámenes cualquier presencia de proceso maligno.
