ABSTRACT
Numerosas especies de plantas y sus derivados pueden causar reacciones cutáneas por diversos mecanismos: dermatitis irritativa de contacto, dermatitis alérgica de contacto, urticaria de contacto y fotodermatitis. Se presenta un caso de dermatitis irritativa de contacto tras la exposición a la savia de Agave americana. Representa un cuadro cutáneo descrito en escasas ocasiones y que, aunque habitualmente se presenta como una erupción papulovesiculosa, en el paciente descrito aparece con lesiones purpúricas en la zona de contacto
Numerous plant species and their derivatives can cause skin reactions through a variety of mechanisms: irritative contact dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis, contact urticaria and photodermatitis. We present a case of irritative contact dermatitis after exposure to the sap of Agave americana. The skin symptoms in this case have only been described on rare occasions; although this condition usually presents with a papulovesicular rash, in this patient it appeared as purpuric lesions in the contact area

La amiloidosis cutánea nodular primaria es la forma clínica menos frecuente de las amiloidosis cutáneas. Es posible su asociación a trastornos mieloproliferativos, así como a amiloidosis sistémica. Se ha descrito recientemente la asociación a otras entidades, como el síndrome de Sjögren. Se presenta el caso de una paciente con síndrome de Sjögren que desarrolló una amiloidosis cutánea nodular primaria
Nodular primary cutaneous amyloidosis is the least frequent clinical form of the cutaneous amyloidoses. It may be associated with myeloproliferative disorders, as well as with systemic amyloidosis. Its association with other entities, such as Sjögren's syndrome, has recently been described. We present the case of a female patient with Sjögren's syndrome who developed nodular primary cutaneous amyloidosis
