ABSTRACT
Resumen Introducción: La micosis fungoide es el linfoma primario de células T en piel más frecuente, con expresividad clínica heterogénea. Objetivo: Reportar las variedades clínicas y las características sociodemográficas de pacientes con micosis fungoide tratados en un hospital dermatológico. Métodos: Se incluyeron 290 pacientes con diagnóstico clínico e histopatológico de micosis fungoide atendidos en el transcurso de 11 años. Se realizó descripción sociodemográfica de los pacientes, quienes se clasificaron conforme las variantes clínicas e histopatológicas. Resultados: 58 % de los casos de micosis fungoide se presentó en mujeres y 42 % en hombres. La variedad clínica más común fue la clásica en 46.2 %; la discrómica representó 35.2 %, del cual la hipopigmentada fue la más representativa (7.6 %); la poiquilodérmica constituyó 4.1 % y la foliculotrópica, 3.1 %. La variedad papular se presentó en seis pacientes (2.1 %), la de placa única en tres (1 %) y la ictiosiforme, siringotrópica y la piel laxa granulomatosa, en un paciente cada una. La variedad granulomatosa se encontró en 0.7 % y 1.4 % presentó eritrodermia. Conclusiones: La variedad clínica más frecuente de micosis fungoide fue la clásica en fase de placa, seguida de las variedades discrómicas. Otras variedades clínicas representaron 18.6 %.
Abstract Introduction: Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common primary skin T-cell lymphoma, which is characterized for a heterogeneous clinical expressivity. Objective: To report clinical variants and sociodemographic characteristics in patients with MF under the care of a dermatological hospital. Methods: 290 patients with MF clinical and histopathological diagnosis attended to over the course of 11 years were included. Sociodemographic description of patients was made, who were classified according to clinical and histopathological variants. Results: MF was recorded in 57.9 % of women and 42 % of men. The most common clinical variant was the classic type in 46.2 %; dyschromic variants accounted for 35.2 %, out of which hypopigmented MF was the most representative (17.6 %); poikilodermatous MF accounted for 4.1 %, and folliculotropic, for 3.1%. The papular variant occurred in six patients (2.1 %), the single-plaque variety in three (1%), and the ichthyosiform, syringotropic and granulomatous slack skin varieties occurred in one patient each. The granulomatous variant was found in 0.7 %, and 1.4 % had erythroderma. Conclusions: The most common MF clinical variant was classic plaque stage, followed by dyschromic variants. Other clinical variants accounted for 18.6 %.

Renal tubular acidosis is a disease prevalent in childhood, responsible for a decrease in growth due inadequate acid-base levels regulation. It is well known that systemic conditions can generate or accompany nail changes by different pathophysiologic mechanisms, however no one has ever found or reported any association of onychopathy with renal tubular acidosis so far. That is why we would like to share our experience on this topic.
