ABSTRACT

Lupus tumidus is considered a rare subtype of chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus, characterized by erythema and bright urticarial erythematous-violaceous lesions that leave no scars after regression. Histopathology reveals perivascular and periannexal lymphohistiocytic infiltrates in the papillary and reticular dermis and interstitial mucin deposition. Treatment is based on photoprotection, topical corticosteroids and antimalarials. We report two cases of lupus tumidus, which deserve attention for their low frequency in the literature, in addition to their relevance as a differential diagnosis among dermatologic disorders.

ABSTRACT

Plasmoacanthoma is an extremely rare verrucous tumor located on periorificial regions characterized by dense dermal plasmacytic infiltrates. Some authors classify it as a form of reactive plasma cell proliferation which represents a heterogeneous spectrum of mucocutaneous disorders. These plasma cell proliferations have been considered to be a benign immunologic inflammatory reaction to known or unknown stimuli. However, the etiology of plasmoacanthoma remains highly speculative. We report the case of a 40-year-old woman who presented with a lobulated warty lesion affecting the lower lip. Biopsy from the lesion was compatible with plasmoacanthoma, which remains an underreported disease in the dermatology literature.

ABSTRACT

Porokeratosis is a skin disorder clinically characterized by annular plaques with keratotic borders resembling the Great Wall of China and histopathologically by cornoid lamellae. The disease has several clinical variants. Porokeratosis ptychotropica, which has recently become part of these variants, is quite rare and little known. The entity is characterized by verrucous plaques - which may resemble a psoriasis plaque - that affect the regions of the buttocks, most commonly the gluteal cleft, with or without extremity involvement. Itching is often present. We report a rare case of porokeratosis ptychotropica and highlight its unusual manifestation (single plaque), the first case reported in the Brazilian literature.

ABSTRACT

A mamografia, além de contribuir para o diagnóstico precoce do câncer de mama, também propicia a redução da mortalidade dessa neoplasia. Porém, o desconforto e a dor durante a realização do exame são obstáculos para o rastreamento mamográfico. A proporção de mulheres que referem tais sintomas durante a mamografia varia de 0,2 a 62 porcento, cujo taxa está relacionada com os diferentes métodos de mensuração da dor, com a compressão mamária ao exame, com a história previa de mastalgia prévia e com a fase do ciclo menstrual. Algumas alternativas foram idealizadas para amenizar efetivamente a dor e o desconforto durante o exame mamográfico. A autocompressão mamária mostrou apresentar redução da dor, sem perder a qualidade da imagem. O estímulo do autocontrole, da fé e da desconcentração também pode reduzir as queixas. A possibilidade de intervenção com o uso de paracetamol como pré-medicação ao exame mamográfico foi testado e não mostrou benefícios na redução da dor e do desconforto. Analgésicos mais potentes como o cetorolaco de trometamina têm sido testados na tentativa de beneficiar as mulheres que são submetidas à mamografia. Atualmente não existem meios efetivos para neutralizar a dor e o desconforto causados pela mamografia, mas ações de melhoria na compressão mamária, no aparato que recebe a mama, na relação técnico-paciente, na estimulação do autocontrole e na utilização de pré-medicação serão os alicerces para a condução de novos estudos, a fim de amenizar um obstáculo ao rastreamento do câncer de mama.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Mammography is the most important method for early detection of breast cancer, however, patients frequently complain of discomfort and pain. OBJECTIVE: Evaluate how often discomfort and pain are felt during mammography and identify factors that may be associated to these complaints. METHODS: A prospective study including 2,164 patients recruited from public (996) and private (1,168) health services was carried out. After the imaging procedure, patients quantified pain using a linear analogical scale. Discomfort was qualitatively evaluated by multivariate analysis. RESULTS: Discomfort was reported by 90% of the patients, and of these 12% rated the sensation as intense or intolerable. Only 2% of the women in the study group did not feel any pain during the procedure. Factors associated to pain were: age, use of birth control methods (BCM), previous mastalgia and patients from the private health sector. Discomfort was independently associated to the service where the procedure was performed (OR = 2.50 IC 1.64-5.17) and to previous mastalgia (OR = 3.15 IC 1.96-7.12). When asked about a repeat mammography, 98% of the patients said they would comply. CONCLUSION: Young women (< 50 years), BCM users, mastalgia patients and women who were using the services of a private clinic felt more intense pain and discomfort during mammography.

ABSTRACT

A mamografia é o método mais importante na detecção precoce do câncer de mama. Não obstante, o desconforto e a dor são queixas freqüentes durante o exame. OBJETIVO: Avaliar a freqüência de desconforto e de dor durante a mamografia e identificar fatores relacionados com essas queixas. MÉTODOS: Estudo prospectivo incluindo 2.164 pacientes, sendo que 996 previdenciárias e 1.168 da rede privada. Após o exame, a paciente quantificava a dor sentida, de acordo com uma escala linear analógica. O desconforto foi avaliado qualitativamente por análise multivariada. RESULTADOS: O desconforto foi a queixa de 90 por cento das pacientes; dessas 12 por cento referiram desconforto intenso ou intolerável. Apenas 2 por cento do grupo estudado não apresentaram dor durante o exame. Os fatores associados à dor foram: idade da paciente, o uso de anticoncepcional (ACO), mastalgia prévia e pacientes privadas. O desconforto esteve independentemente associado ao centro de realização do exame (OR = 2,50; IC 1,64-5,17) e à mastalgia prévia (OR = 3,15; IC 1,96-7,12). A aceitabilidade de uma futura mamografia foi de 98 por cento. CONCLUSÃO: Mulheres jovens (< 50 anos), usuárias de ACO, portadoras de mastalgia e provenientes de serviços privados apresentaram maior intensidade de dor e desconforto durante a realização da mamografia.

ABSTRACT

Os Tratamentos cirúrgicos atualmente mais utilizados para o câncer de mama são a quadrantectomia ou a mastectomia, ambos associados ao esvaziamento axilar e, geralmente, seguidos por radioterapia e quimioterapia. O déficit linfático e venoso causado pela cirurgia e pela radioterapia, além da imunosupressão causada pela quimioterapia, podem predispor ao aparecimento de erisipela na pele do tórax e membro superior. Nos casos mais graves, a erisipela pode colocar em risco a viabilidade do membro e mesmo ameaçar a vida da paciente. A gravidade da erisipela e a possibilidade de prevení-la nos estimularam a fazer revisão sobre o tema. Este trabalho discorre sobre o conceito, a etiologia, a fisiopatologia, o quadro clínico, os diagnósticos diferenciais, a prevenção, a reabilitação e o tratamento da erisipela após a dissecção axilar
