ABSTRACT

Introdução: A doença de Paget extramamária é constituída por adenocarcinoma da pele em áreas de glândulas apócrinas. Trata-se de neoplasia rara cujo tratamento cirúrgico aparenta resultados satisfatórios. Devido às altas taxas de recorrência, entretanto, as cirurgias são potencialmente mutilantes. O imiquimode é imunoestimulador tópico utilizado no tratamento de verrugas anogenitais e carcinomas in situ. Seu uso tem sido descrito na literatura científica para terapia da doença de Paget extramamária com resultados satisfatórios. Objetivo: Descrever a evolução de quatro casos de doença de Paget extramamária tratados com imiquimode, para avaliação da evolução e resposta terapêutica. Métodos: Foi realizado estudo retrospectivo em serviço de dermatologia da cidade de São Paulo com revisão de prontuários de todos os pacientes com diagnóstico de doença de Paget extramamária e tratados com imiquimode de janeiro de 2011 a julho de 2018. Resultados: Foram incluídos quatro pacientes, três com lesão vulvar e um com lesão em bolsa escrotal. Duas mulheres evoluíram com resolução total da doença, uma não apresentou alteração, e o homem evolui com regressão de 70% da lesão, sendo submetido à exérese cirúrgica de área consideravelmente menor do que a da lesão inicial. Conclusões: O imiquimode se apresenta como método terapêutico válido no tratamento da doença de Paget extramamária.


Introduction: Extramammary Paget disease consists of a cutaneous adenocarcinoma in areas of apocrine glands. It is a rare neoplasia, and its surgical treatment yields satisfactory results. However, due to the high recurrence rates, surgeries are potentially disfiguring. Imiquimod is a topical immune-stimulant used for the treatment of anogenital warts and in situ carcinomas. Its use has been described in the scientific literature for the treatment of Extramammary Paget disease with satisfactory results. Objective: Describe the course of four cases of Extramammary Paget disease treated with imiquimod, to evaluate evolution and therapeutic response. Methods: A retrospective study was performed in a service of dermatology in the city of São Paulo, with the review of medical records of all patients diagnosed with Extramammary Paget disease and treated with imiquimod from January 2011 to July 2018. Results: Four patients were included, three with vulvar lesion and one with scrotal lesion. Two women presented completed resolution of the disease, one did not respond and the man progressed with 70% regression of the lesion, having undergone surgical excision of a considerably smaller area than the initial lesion. Conclusions: Imiquimod presents as a valid therapeutic modality for the treatment of Extramammary Paget disease.

ABSTRACT

Superficial mycoses are fungal infections restricted to the stratum corneum and to the hair shafts, with no penetration in the epidermis; they are: white piedra, black piedra, tinea versicolor, and tinea nigra. This study presents images of mycological tests performed in the laboratory, as well as exams performed at the authors office, in order to improve the dermatologist's knowledge about the diagnosis of these dermatoses, which are common in many countries.

ABSTRACT

A prática clínica do dermatologista baseia-se na análise das lesões cutâneas. Essa análise é feita essencialmente pela observação clínica, e atualmente complementada com exames como a dermatoscopia e a microscopia confocal. Apesar de seu baixo custo, a lâmpada de Wood tem sido cada vez menos utilizada como método diagnóstico auxiliar. Apresentamos diversos casos de utilização da lâmpada de Wood sendo de grande auxílio ao dermatologista. Esperamos assim incentivar o uso desse aparelho na prática diária.


The dermatologist's clinical practice is based on the analysis of cutaneous lesions that is carried out mainly by clinical observation, and currently supplemented with tests such as dermoscopy and confocal microscopy. Despite its low cost, the Wood's lamp has been decreasingly used as an auxiliary diagnostic method. The authors of the present study describe several cases of use of the Wood's lamp where it provided valuable assistance to the dermatologist, aiming at encouraging the use of this device in the daily practice.

ABSTRACT

Tinea capitis is the most common fungal infection in children. The identification of the etiologic agent helps clinicians make their therapeutic choice. Studies conducted in different countries show a changing pattern of the main etiological agents according to their regions. We performed a retrospective study in the tertiary public service in São Paulo, analyzing the isolated etiological agents in patients with tinea capitis from March 2013 to May 2015. Microsporum canis was the main agent (56.6%), followed by Trichophyton tonsurans (36.6%). Despite recent migratory movements in the city, we observed no change in the causative agent of tinea capitis.
