A síndrome de Sweet é dermatose rara, caracterizada por erupção aguda de placas e nódulos eritêmato-edematosos. Relata-se o caso de doente do sexo feminino, de 55 anos, com lesão cutânea compatível com síndrome de Sweet ao redor de cicatriz cirúrgica na face, após exérese de ceratose actínica e ingestão de dipirona. O caso relatado ressalta a possibilidade da ocorrência do fenômeno de Köebner na síndrome de Sweet, provavelmente desencadeado pelo uso da dipirona.

Apresenta-se caso clínico de variante rara de dermatofibroma (tipo aneurismático) em paciente do sexo feminino de 72 anos de idade, cuja lesão se localizava na dobra flexural do membro superior direito, resultante de proliferação mesenquimal associada à vasos sanguíneos e hemorragia tecidual, com características histológicas próprias e bem definidas. Os objetivos desta descrição foram a raridade da lesão e a importância que ela assume, do ponto de vista histopatológico, quando comparada no diagnóstico diferencial com outros tumores benignos e malignos e a terminologia utilizada atualmente.

Chronic actinic cheilitis is actinic keratosis located on the vermilion border. Treatment is essential because of the potential for malignant transformation. To evaluate the aesthetic and functional results of vermilionectomy using the classic and W-plasty techniques in actinic cheilitis. In the classic technique, the scar is linear and in the W-plasty one, it is a broken line. 32 patients with clinical and histopathological diagnosis of actinic cheilitis were treated. Out of the 32 patients, 15 underwent the W-plasty technique and 17 underwent the classic one. We evaluated parameters such as scar retraction and functional changes. A statistically significant association between the technique used and scar retraction was found, which was positive when using the classic technique (p = 0.01 with Yates' correction). The odds ratio was calculated at 11.25, i.e., there was a greater chance of retraction in patients undergoing the classic technique. Both techniques revealed no functio...

Bullous pemphigoid is an autoimmune subepidermal bullous dermatosis more commonly observed in the elderly (over 70 years old). Autoantibodies are produced for specific antigens of the epidermal basement membrane zone: BP 180 and BP 230 (hemidesmosome proteins). We report three cases of bullous pemphigoid in adults younger than 50 years old, discussing the clinical characteristics of the disease in younger patients.

Eruptive xanthoma with unexpected granuloma annulare-like microscopic appearance - Case report Abstract: Eruptive xanthoma and granuloma annulare are dermatological diseases with different clinical findings that, sometimes, exhibit histopathological similarities with potential for misinterpretation. We report a case of an eruption of yellow-orange papules with erythematous borders in a 34-year-old male with high levels of serum triglycerides and cholesterol. The skin biopsy specimen has diagnosed granuloma annulare. Review of the histologic material revealed eruptive xanthoma. Remission of the eruption after treatment of dyslipidemia confirmed the diagnosis of the eruptive xanthoma and motivated research about the histological similarities and differences between these diseases.

Trichilemmoma is a benign neoplasm from the outer sheath of the pilosebaceous follicle. Desmoplastic trichilemmoma, a rare variant, is histologically characterized by a central area of desmoplasia that can clinically mimic an invasive carcinoma, requiring histopathological examination to define the diagnosis.

Necrobiotic xanthogranuloma (NXG) is a rare non-X histiocytosis with conspicuous lesions on the periorbital skin. A diabetic patient presented with NXG and a previous diagnosis of necrobiosis lipoidica on the legs over a period of almost 2 years before the development of the typical lesions of NXG on the periorbital regions, back, thighs and legs. The patient was found also to have developed lambda paraproteinemia. Treatment with melphalan and prednisone resulted in great improvement of cutaneous lesions and paraproteinemia remission. This case report details how melphalan and prednisone can be administered in the successful treatment of necrobiotic xanthogranuloma with lambda paraproteinemia.
