ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Surgical excision remains the hallmark of therapy for chondrodermatitis nodularis chronica (CNC). Although excision is generally successful, recurrence at the edge of the excised nodule is well recognized. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the clinical features and the recurrence rate of patients with CNC treated with elliptical excision of the papule and removal of the underlying cartilage. DESIGN: Seventy-four outpatients with CNC, 52 men and 22 women, were retrospectively analyzed. A narrow elliptical excision of the papule followed by a slice of the underlying cartilage were carried out with local anesthetic. Cartilage spikes were trimmed carefully shaping a smooth contour from the normal helical rim to the defect. RESULTS: Good cosmetic results were obtained in all patients. The median follow-up for helical and antihelical lesions were 54 and 50 months, respectively. The global recurrence rate was 13.5% and ranged from 10.6 to 37.5% for helical and antihelical lesions, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: We recommend this surgical procedure because it has been shown to be as efficient as other methods and probably faster to perform.

ABSTRACT

La primoinfección por el virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH) es sintomática en el 50-90 por ciento de los casos, a pesar de lo cual, en la mayoría de ellos, el diagnóstico pasa desapercibido. El conjunto de manifestaciones clínicas se conoce como síndrome retroviral agudo, el cual está relacionado con el alto índice de replicación del retrovirus y la intensa respuesta del sistema inmunitario frente a éste. Los síntomas más frecuentes son fiebre, fatiga, erupción cutánea y linfadenopatías generalizadas, que suelen aparecer entre la 2.ª y la 4.ª semanas de la infección. La erupción suele afectar la cara y el tercio superior del tronco, y muestra máculas y pápulas eritematosas anaranjadas, redondeadas, no confluentes, algunas con necrosis central. En muchas ocasiones se acompaña de afectación de las mucosas. Se describen 4 casos de primoinfección por el VIH. El diagnóstico en esta fase de la enfermedad se establece mediante técnicas de laboratorio no serológicas (carga viral, ADN proviral) y permite instaurar el tratamiento antirretroviral de forma precoz (AU)
