ABSTRACT
We describe a clinical case involving a 62-year-old white male, diagnosed with lymphocytoma cutis (Spiegler-Fendt sarcoid) in the cephalic segment. The diagnosis was carried out by pathological study and confirmed by immunohistochemical panel: evidence of polyclonality. Phototherapy sessions were suggested as treatment (13 PUVA sessions, with an accumulated dose of 58.65 J/cm2 ). The improvement was partial. Thus, infiltration of triamcinolone was opted for (one intralesional infiltration every 3 weeks). After 5 sessions, satisfactory improvement was observed: regression of nearly all the lesions.

Relatamos um caso de um paciente de 62 anos, branco e com diagnóstico de linfocitoma cutis (Sarcoide de Spigler-Fendt) em segmento cefálico. O diagnóstico foi confirmado pelo histopatológico e reafirmado pelo painel imuno-histoquímico: evidência de policlonalidade. Sessões de fototerapia foram propostas como tratamento: 13 sessões de PUVA cuja dose acumulada foi de 58.65 J/cm2); a melhora foi parcial. Optado, então, por infiltrações de triancinolona (uma infiltração intralesional a cada 3 semanas). Na quinta sessão, satisfatória melhora já podia ser evidenciada: regressão de quase todas as lesões.

We report the case of an asymptomatic 38-year-old woman that sought medical assistance due to infertility. The gynecological examination showed an endocervical polyp measuring 1.0 x 0.8 x 0.5 cm. A biopsy was performed. Under microscopy, several granulomas containing eggs of Schistosoma mansoni were seen.
