Sem uma análise dos critérios essenciais e subsidiários para classificar e denominar os tumores, não se poderá tentar qualquer uniformização da nomenclatura oncológica. Devido à complexidade do problema, só uma nomenclatura analítica, semelhante àquela da química orgânica, poderia ser facilmente entendida por qualquer médico, estudante, pesquisador ou bibliotecário. Tal nomenclatura seria representada por palavras isoladas discriminando, a partir do geral para o especial, pelo menos nas línguas neolatinas - todas as características de um tumor: processo patológico geral, histogênese e comportamento, como por exemplo: Tumor mesenquimal adiposo maligno = lipossarcoma. Enquanto não houver possibilidade do emprego da nomenclatura analítica, seria aconselhável seguir a atual nomenclatura, que é sintético-analítica, eliminando, porém, os termos sem significado histológico ou histogenético.

molluscum contagiosum ,tattooing ,poxviridae infections ,Dermatology ,RL1-803 - Abstract
Tattooing is an ancient practice and very popular nowadays. The pigments used have changed over time but still present varied and poorly regulated compositions. There are many described cases of adverse effects after tattooing, mainly infectious and hypersensitivity reactions. We report the case of a 64-year-old woman, healthy, with papules on her eyebrows one month after performing micropigmentation. The excisional biopsy diagnosed molluscum contagiosum, and the lesions were curetted. There are few reports in the literature of the spread of molluscum contagiosum caused by tattooing.

ABSTRACT The authors present a case of lupus miliaris disseminatus faciei , a rare skin disease of unknown etiology, which may cause unaesthetic scarring due to its difficult treatment. The histopathological examination of epithelioid granulomas with caseating necrosis, together with the clinical features, are important for diagnosis and early treatment with better results. Despite difficult and unsatisfactory treatment, there are ongoing studies on therapy to improve aesthetic and social impairment. This case report describes an initial misdiagnosis delaying appropriate treatment, and highlights the value of physical examination and clinical judgment for another pathological examination, whenever necessary, aiming at better treatment outcomes in daily practice.

Abstract: Background: Diseases caused by melanized fungi include mycetoma, chromoblastomycosis and phaeohyphomycosis. This broad clinical spectrum depends on the dynamic interactions between etiologic agent and host. The immune status of the host influences on the development of the disease, as, an exemple. phaeohyphomicosis is more frequently observed in immunocompromised patients. Objectives: Examine the histological inflammatory response induced by Fonsecaea pedrosoi in several different strains of mice (BALB/c, C57BL/6, Nude and SCID, and reconstituted Nude). Methods: Fonsecaea pedrosoi was cultivated on agar gel and a fragment of this gel was implanted subcutaneously in the abdominal region of female adult mice. After infection has been obtained, tissue fragment was studied histopathologically. Results: There were significant changes across the strains, with the nodular lesion more persistent in Nude and SCID mice, whereas in immunocompetent mice the lesion progressed to ulceration and healing. The histopathological analysis showed a significant acute inflammatory reaction which consisted mainly of neutrophils in the initial phase that was subsequently followed by a tuberculoid type granuloma in immunocompetent mice. Study limitations: There is no a suitable animal model for chromoblastomycosis. Conclusions: The neutrophilic infiltration had an important role in the containment of infection to prevent fungal spreading, including in immunodeficient mice. The fungal elimination was dependent on T lymphocytes. The re-exposure of C57BL/6 mice to Fonsecaea pedrosoi caused a delay in resolving the infection, and appearance of muriform cells, which may indicate that re-exposure to fungi, might lead to chronicity of infection.

Pyoderma gangrenosum manifests as an ulceration of the skin often associated with several systemic diseases. The diagnosis is usually made by exclusion criteria with suggestions made by clinical findings and histological features. It can occur any site but more common in the legs. Advances in translational medicine led to the development of new forms of therapy in chronic inflammatory diseases by the oral administration of Janus kinase inhibitors. We report two cases of chronic ulceration of the skin consistent with the diagnosis of Pyoderma Gangrenosum that went into complete remission after the use of baricitinib.

This article discusses the use of tangential biopsy as a diagnostic tool for nail lichen planus (NLP), a rare condition that primarily affects the hands and can lead to nail deformities and functional impairments. The traditional biopsy techniques, longitudinal and punch biopsies, have limitations and may cause nail dystrophy. Tangential biopsy offers advantages such as obtaining larger samples for histopathological evaluation and reducing the risk of scarring. The article presents a case study where tangential biopsy successfully diagnosed NLP and identified cytoid bodies within the nail plate. The authors suggest that tangential biopsy, along with the analysis of nail clipping samples, can be useful in diagnosing NLP. [Extracted from the article]

Abstract: Lichen simplex chronicus is a skin disease that mostly affects female patients, with a peak incidence between ages 35 and 50 years. On the scalp, it appears as a single or multiple oval lesions, showing scaling and hair shaft loss or breakage. An important dermoscopic feature of the disease are the "broom fibers." Histopathology reveals the "hamburger" and the "gear wheel" signs. The aim of this report is to demonstrate a case of lichen simplex chronicus on the scalp with typical and exuberant clinical, dermoscopic, and histopathological findings.

Canine leproid granuloma or “canine leprosy” is a mycobacteriosis that has a dermatopathic framework, which includes aspects that are still unclear, especially regarding its mode of transmission and etiological agent. In order to verify the genetic characterization of the mycobacteria that is involved in the condition, the present study analyzed histological cuts from animals with an established diagnosis of such disorder. The study samples were taken from of 13 dogs that were assisted at the HOVET / USP Dermatology Service. This material was subsequently subjected to “nested” and real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The nested PCR confirmed the presence of the agent in 18.7% of the animals, whereas the real-time PCR detected 69.2% of samples with DNA of the mycobacterium, thus proving that such method presents higher sensitivity. Furthermore, it was observed that the species of mycobacterium that causes Canine Leproid Granulnoma in dogs from Brazil presents a 100% genetic homology when compared to samples obtained from animals in studies abroad.

Paget's disease, described by Sir James Paget in 1874, is classified as mammary and extramammary. The mammary type is rare and often associated with intraductal cancer (93-100% of cases). It is more prevalent in postmenopausal women and it appears as an eczematoid, erythematous, moist or crusted lesion, with or without fine scaling, infiltration and inversion of the nipple. It must be distinguished from erosive adenomatosis of the nipple, cutaneous extension of breast carcinoma, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, chronic eczema, lactiferous ducts ectasia, Bowen's disease, basal cell carcinoma, melanoma and intraductal papilloma. Diagnosis is histological and prognosis and treatment depend on the type of underlying breast cancer. Extramammary Paget's disease is considered an adenocarcinoma originating from the skin or skin appendages in areas with apocrine glands. The primary location is the vulvar area, followed by the perianal region, scrotum, penis and axillae. It starts as an erythematous plaque of indolent growth, with well-defined edges, fine scaling, excoriations, exulcerations and lichenification. In most cases it is not associated with cancer, although there are publications linking it to tumors of the vulva, vagina, cervix and corpus uteri, bladder, ovary, gallbladder, liver, breast, colon and rectum. Differential diagnoses are candidiasis, psoriasis and chronic lichen simplex. Histopathology confirms the diagnosis. Before treatment begins, associated malignancies should be investigated. Surgical excision and micrographic surgery are the best treatment options, although recurrences are frequent.

Abstract Morbihan syndrome is a rare entity that more commonly affects women in the third or fourth decade of life. It is considered a special form of rosacea and its pathogenesis is not fully known. It is clinically characterized by the slow appearance of erythema and solid edemas on the upper portion of the face, with accentuation in the periorbital region, forehead, glabella, nose, and cheeks. We report the case of a patient presented with edema on the upper eyelid for a year. These findings suggested the diagnosis of Morbihan syndrome. We aim to report a rare, particularly refractory and chronic form of rosacea, which has received little attention in the literature.

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 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.

A case is reported of a patient presenting lymph node tuberculosis and cutaneous lesions resembling papulonecrotic tuberculid, but histologically compatible with perforating granuloma annulare and which responded satisfactorily to antituberculous therapy. This is probably one of the first reports of the association of perforating granuloma annulare and tuberculosis, and it is important therefore to highlight the relevance of this disorder in the differential diagnosis of papulonecrotic tuberculid and to raise the hypothesis that this entity should also be considered to be a variant of tuberculid.

This case report is about a 48-year-old female patient with systemic amyloidosis and multiple myeloma simultaneously. Amyloid cutaneous infiltrative lesions like papules, nodules, or plaques with a serous-hemorrhagic aspect were found in the eyelids, neck and retroauricular region, among others. She had presented intermittent papular lesions on the upper eyelids one year before, which worsened following local trauma. A local skin biopsy showed amorphous and eosinophilic substance in the dermis. Congo red staining confirmed the amyloid deposits. Abnormal exams: proteinuria (570mg/24h), Bence-Jones proteinuria and clonal plasma cells (70%) found in myelogram. Following the diagnosis of multiple myeloma based on amyloid skin lesions, the patient was referred to the Hematology service and died 5 months after the diagnosis.Relatamos um caso de uma paciente de 48 anos com amiloidose sistêmica associada a mieloma múltiplo. Lesões infiltrativas cutâneas como pápulas, nódulos ou placas com aspecto sero-hemorrágico podem ser localizados nas pálpebras, pescoço, região retroauricular dentre outras. No presente caso, as pálpebras foram acometidas por pápulas, há 1 ano, de caráter intermitente e piora após trauma local. Biópsia local evidenciou material amorfo e eosinofílico na derme. A coloração vermelho do Congo confirmou presença de substância amiloide. Exames anormais: proteinúria de 570mg/24 horas, proteinúria de Bence-Jones positiva e mielograma com 70% de plasmócitos atípicos. Assim, realizou-se o diagnóstico de mieloma múltiplo a partir de manifestações cutâneas de amiloidose. Paciente encaminhada ao serviço de hematologia e foi a óbito em 5 meses.

The livedoid vasculopathy is a rare condition characterized by the presence of recurrent painful ulcers in distal extremities of lower limbs. Histologically there is thickness of dermal vessels, occlusion of its light by fibrin thrombi associated with minimal inflammatory infiltrate. It might occur as an isolated condition or be associated with an underlying systemic disease, including coagulation and collagen disorders, or neoplasms. Because it is a rare disease there is no consensus for its treatment. We report a case of a 41-year-old man with painful ulcers in the lower extremities. We did not find any associated diseases. The lesions improved dramatically after treatment with anticoagulant and hyperbaric therapy. We concluded that anticoagulation associated with hyperbaric oxygenation may be benefit for the treatment of patients with livedoid vasculopathy. However, further studies should be done with a larger population to confirm our results.

Tumor of the follicular infundibulum is a rare benign cutaneous adnexal neoplasm with variable clinical presentation. In most cases the diagnosis is made with the help of histopathology, due to lack of a characteristic clinical presentation. The most common form is a solitary lesion, but it can be multiple or eruptive, then called infundibulomatose. This case report illustrates a patient with multiple lesions of tumor of the follicular infundibulum with bizarre aspect and atypical location.

A sífilis, doença de importante morbiletalidade no passado, tem ressurgido nos últimos anos, graças, sobretudo, às alterações nos comportamentos de risco. Um grupo epidemiológico, frequentemente, acometido é a população com infecção pelo HIV: estes pacientes podem apresentar características peculiares nas manifestações e evolução da doença. Relatamos o caso de um paciente masculino, HIV-positivo, que desenvolveu um quadro florido de secundarismo: além da roséola sifilítica, apresentou pan-uveíte bilateral e acometimento do sistema nervoso central. A investigação, apresentou fenomeno pro-zona e no estudo histologico, mostrou a presenca de vasculite leucocitoclastica achado este extremamente raro e pouco documentado.Syphilis, a disease that in the past was associated with significant morbidity and lethality rates, has resurged in recent years principally as a consequence of changes in risk behavior. An epidemiological group that is commonly affected is the HIV-infected population. The characteristics of the disease and its progression may differ in these patients. The present report describes a case of an HIV-positive male patient, who developed florid secondary syphilis: in addition to syphilitic roseola, he also presented with bilateral panuveitis and involvement of the central nervous system. Investigation revealed the prozone phenomenon and histological examination of the skin lesions showed the presence of leukocytoclastic vasculitis. This finding is extremely rare and few cases have been documented.

Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) is a rare cutaneous rash characterized by widespread sterile nonfollicular pustules. Cefepime is a fourth generation cephalosporin, used to treat severe infections. A 67-year-old man was admitted with acute gastroenterocolitis. On the seventh day, the patient developed a nosocomial pneumonia and cefepime was initiated. On the fourth day of cephalosporin treatment, he presented with a maculopapular, pruritic eruption affecting the face, neck, abdomen and limbs. One day later he developed disseminated pustular lesions and his temperature was 37°C. Laboratory analysis evidenced leukocytosis and skin biopsy showed subcorneal pustule, edema in the papillary dermis, perivascular inflammatory infiltrate consisting of neutrophils, leukocytoclasia and red cell extravasation in the epidermis. Cefepime was suspended and within 4 days the non-follicular pustules cleared following a desquamation. AGEP is a disease attributed to a variety of causes, but in 90% of the cases it is due to an adverse drug reaction. Antibiotics are implicated in 80% of these cases, mostly penicillins and macrolides. There are few cases associated with cephalosporins. It is very important to consider AGEP in cases of acute pustular rashes and drugs should be investigated as causative agents.

Relatam-se três casos de melanoma em regressão nos quais a biópsiainicial não revelou melanoma, e o diagnóstico foi obtido pelas metástases.Não há consenso sobre o significado prognóstico da regressão. Nos casos descritos, omelanoma em regressão associou-se a pior prognóstico, pela própria característica dotumor ou dificuldade no diagnóstico precoce e estadiamento.Conclui-se que a regressão no melanoma primário pode conferir maior dificuldade aodiagnóstico e estadiamento, com consequente pior prognóstico. Deve-se indicar biópsiaexcisional de lesão suspeita sempre que possível.

A paquidermodactilia é forma rara de fibromatose digital envolvendo as porções proximais dos dedos, que afeta homens jovens. Apresenta-se caso de paciente de 25 anos com quadro de nódulos assintomáticos nas mãos há dois anos, e há três meses com lesões semelhantes nos pés e no joelho direito. O exame histopatológico revelou espessamento da derme com proliferação de fibroblastos e de fibras colágenas e aumento de mucina. O caso descrito corresponde à paquidermodactilia do tipo transgressiva.Pachydermodactyly is a rare form of digital fibromatosis involving the proximal portions of the fingers that usually affects young males. We present a 25-year-old male patient with a twoyear history of asymptomatic nodules in the fingers. Three months before the visit, he had observed similar lesions on the feet and right knee. Histopathological analysis showed thickened dermis with proliferation of fibroblasts and collagenous fibers, with deposition of mucinous material. This represents a rare case of pachydermodactyly of transgrediens form.

O xantogranuloma necrobiótico é doença crônica granulomatosa e xantomatosa, caracterizada por pápulas e placas infiltradas, eritematosas e amareladas, preferencialmente localizadas na região periorbital. É comum associar-se com paraproteinemia e risco aumentado para malignidades hematológicas e linfoproliferativas. Sua patogênese permanece desconhecida. Agentes alquilantes, como clorambucil e melfalan, podem ser utilizados no tratamento com sucesso variável. Relata-se um exemplo dessa rara doença em paciente com lesão única e sem paraproteinemia.Necrobiotic xanthogranuloma is a chronic granulomatous and xantomathous disease, characterized by indurated, nontender, yellowish and erythematous nodules and plaques especially located on the periorbital region. It is commonly associated with paraproteinemia and an increased risk for hematological and lymphoproliferative malignancies. Its pathogenesis remains unclear. Alkylating agents, such as chlorambucil and melphalan may be used to treat the disease with variable success. We report a case of this rare disease in a patient with a solitary tumor and without paraproteinemia.

FUNDAMENTOS: A relação entre acne vulgar, alimentação e terapia com ácidos graxos essenciais é desconhecida, embora esses elementos tenham papel importante na fisiopatogenia dessa dermatose. OBJETIVO: Verificar a resposta clínica da acne vulgar com o uso de ácidos graxos essenciais e quais os melhores métodos de avaliação do tratamento. MÉTODOS: Trinta e um voluntários, dos quais 16 (51,6%) receberam esquema oral rico em ácidos graxos essenciais e 15 receberam placebo (48,4%). Foram utilizadas análises clínica, de auto-avaliação, digital e histológica para avaliação. RESULTADOS: Não houve diferença nas notas subjetivas (p=0,419) e na análise digital (p=0,2187) entre os gupos placebo e produto; houve sugestão de melhora com o uso do produto, pela histopatologia (p=0,087), sem significância pelo teste do qui-quadrado (= 4,878); ausência de correlação estatística entre a análise digital e a nota subjetiva dos voluntários (p=0,127), entre a nota subjetiva e a resposta histopatológica (p=0,438); houve, porém, relação entre a análise histopatológica e a digital (p=0,012). CONCLUSÕES: 1) Para se avaliar o benefício clínico deve-se realizar um estudo com amostra maior; 2) a auto-avaliação do voluntário e a análise digital não puderam discernir o melhor padrão terapêutico para acne vulgar, se medicamento ou placebo; 3) a associação histopatologia-análise digital parece ser a melhor forma de avaliação da qualidade da resposta clínica dessa terapêutica; 4) a histopatolgia parece ser o método mais sensível para avaliar essa modalidade terapêutica.BACKGROUND: The relation among acne vulgaris, foods and treatment with essential fatty acids is unknown; however essential fatty acids are important in the pathophysiology of acne vulgaris. OBJECTIVES: To verify the clinical response of acne vulgaris with essential fatty acids and to establish the best methods to assess therapy. METHODS: Thirty-one volunteers took part in the study; in that, 16 (51.6%) received a product rich in essential fatty acids and 15 (48.4%) received a placebo. Clinical examination, volunteer's self-evaluation (subjective score), digital image and pathological evaluation were performed before and after treatment. RESULTS: There was no difference in the subjective score (p=0.419) and digital analysis (p=0.2187) between the product and placebo groups; there was a suggestive sign of improvement based on the pathological examination (p=0.087) but the chi-squared test showed no significance (¯2= 4.878); there was no statistical correlation between digital analysis and subjective score (p=0.127), between the subjective score and pathological examination (p=0.438). However, pathological and digital analyses showed correlation (p=0.012). CONCLUSIONS: 1) further studies with larger samples should be used to evaluate the clinical benefit; 2) self-evaluation and digital analysis were not sufficient to indicate the best therapeutic standard - product or placebo - for acne vulgaris; 3) the correlation between digital and pathological analyses seems to be the best form to assess quality of this therapy; 4) pathological examination seems to be the most sensitive method to evaluate this therapeutic regimen.

Relata-se, pela primeira vez no Brasil, um caso de dermatite decorrente de infecção por micobactéria atípica do complexo Mycobacterium fortuitum-peregrinum, em espécie felina, sem raça definida, fêmea, com cinco anos de idade. Há oito meses, evoluía com lesões maculares equimóticas, nodulares, erosadas, ulceradas, acompanhadas de fístulas exsudativas, com intenso prurido e algia. Evidenciou-se a presença de micobactéria do complexo Mycobacterium fortuitum-peregrinum (grupo IV de Runyon ) identificada após evidenciação histopatológica, cultivo bacteriano e por testes bioquímicos. Após dois meses de terapia sistêmica com enrofloxacina (5mg/kg/Bid/VO) e tópica (triclosan e rifamicina) houve involução das lesões, com efeitos colaterais discretos.A case of dermatitis caused by atypical mycobateria of Mycobacterium fortuitum peregrinum complex was observed for the first time in Brazil. A five-year-old female mixed breed cat had a dermatitis process which had started eight months before. Lesions were characterized by macules, nodules, erosions, ulcers and exsudative fistulas, with intensive pruritus and pain. It had failed to respond to clinical treatment and surgical excision. The diagnosis was based on history, physical and dermatologic examination and complementary tests (cytologic, bacterioscopic, bacterial culture, histopathological, hemathological, ultrasonographic, radiographic and electrocardiographic). The presence of mycobacteria of Mycobacterium fortuitum-peregrinum complex (group IV of Runyon) was observed and identified after histopathological evidence, bacterial culture and biochemical tests. After two months of systemic therapy with enrofloxacin (5mg/kg, orally/twice a day) and topic treatment with triclosan and rifamicin, rapid improvement of the clinical appearance of the lesions were observed with low incidence of side-effects.

Descreve-se, pela primeira vez no Brasil, um caso de criptococose canina com acometimento oftalmo e dermatopático, com diagnóstico intra-vitam, em animal da raça Pastor Alemão, fêmea, com 24 meses de vida, criado em São Paulo, em contacto com outros cinco cães assintomáticos, que havia se infectado pelo contato com dejetos de pombos (Columba livia). Evoluia há 90 dias, com quadro tegumentar e ósseo, sintomas e lesões características, sendo, ainda, detectada forma assintomática de coriorretinite, de início unilateral. O diagnóstico foi estabelecido pelos dados da anamnese, dos exames físico, dermatológico e complementares (radiográfico, cultivo micológico, histopatologia de pele) tendo-se evidenciado e isolado cepa de Criptococcus neoformans var. neoformans. Após nove meses de terapia com itraconazol (9mg/kg/SID/VO) houve involução total do quadro, sem qualquer efeito adverso à droga.A case of cryptococcosis with ocular and cutaneous involvement is reported by the first time in Brazil in a dog. A two-year-old female German Shepherd living in a hold house with other five healthy dogs was infected through the contact with pigeon (Columba livia) feces. The illness started 90 days previously with cutaneous and bone involvement resulting in characteristic clinical signs and lesions, in addition to a initially unilateral asymptomatic chorioretinitis. The diagnosis was established based on anamnesis, physical and dermatologic examinations and complementary exams (radiographs, skin biopsy and histopathology) and the isolation of a Cryptococcus neoformans var. neoformans strain was accomplished. There was a complete resolution of the disease after nine months of therapy using itraconazole (9mg/kg, q24h, PO) and no side effect was observed.

A cirurgia é o tratamento definitivo para os tumores glômicos. Algumas vezes, esse procedimento pode representar um desafio, pois, apesar de ser um tumor bem delimitado, a sua visualização pode ser difícil. O uso da dermatoscopia do leito e da matriz ungueal facilita o diagnóstico e auxilia a localização e delimitação do tumor. Trata-se de método simples e de baixo custo que não implica risco adicional ao paciente que irá se submeter a um procedimento cirúrgico.Surgery is the best treatment for glomus tumors. Sometimes this can be a challenging procedure because, despite being a well-defined tumor, its visualization can be difficult. The use of nail bed and matrix dermoscopy facilitates the diagnosis and aids in the localization and demarcation of the tumor. It is a simple and low-cost procedure that does not involve additional risks to the patient who will undergo surgery.

O hemangiopericitoma canino é uma neoplasia cutânea relativamente comum, que surge principalmente nos membros. As formas de terapia mais indicadas são a amputação; ressecção local e radioterapia, sendo freqüente a ocorrência de recidivas (GOLDSCHIMIDT & SHOFER, 1992). Os registros de seis cães atendidos no Serviço de Técnica Cirúrgica do Hospital Veterinário da Faculdade de Medicina Veterinária da Universidade de São Paulo foram revisados no período de julho de 1994 a julho de 1996. Foram avaliados os dados referentes à formação cutânea, técnica de retalho cutâneo utilizada, e evolução pós-operatória dos animais. Os cães pertenciam a diferentes raças, sendo três machos e três fêmeas com idade média de 9 anos. Em cinco cães, as massas neoplásicas surgiram nos membros e, em um cão, na região perineal. As técnicas de retalhos cutâneos utilizadas foram a H-plastia (2), retalho por avanço pediculado simples(1), retalho por transposição(2) e W-plastia(1). A cicatrização da pele levou de 10 a 15 dias com sobrevivência de 100% do retalho em cinco cães e 89% do retalho em um cão. Um dos animais veio a óbito 15 meses após a cirurgia devido a causas não relacionadas à neoplasia. Não ocorreu recidiva num intervalo que variou de 4 a 20 meses, desde a cirurgia até a presente data. A excisão cirúrgica do hemangiopericitoma canino com amplas margens de segurança, parece ser uma forma de terapia eficiente, uma vez que não ocorreram recidivas. O domínio das técnicas de retalhos cutâneos tem permitido tal procedimento, pois não há o receio de não se conseguir reconstruir os tecidos locais. A recuperação dos animais é mais rápida e o custo é menor em relação às outras formas de terapia.Canine hemangiopericytoma is a relatively common cutaneous tumor frequently affecting the limbs. Treatment usually is local resection, limb amputation and radiation, with high rates of tumor recurrence. The medical records of 6 dogs treated at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital of the University of São Paulo between July 1994 and July 1996 were reviewed for tumor features, skin flap technique and postoperative follow up. The dogs in this study were 3 females and 3 males; the mean age was 9 years. One dog was mixed breed and the other dogs were Poodle (2); Boxer (1); German Shepherd(1) and Pekingeese(1). The majority of tumors (5 tumors) were located on the limbs and l was located on the perineal region. Skin flap techniques used were : H- plasty (2), W-plasty(1), transposition flap (2), single pedicle advancement flap (1). The sutures were removed 10 to 15 days after surgery. Five dogs had 100% viability of flap skin and necrosis ocurred in one dog which had a survival of 89% of the flap. One dog died 15 months after the surgery because of nontumor related causes. No evidence of recurrence was noted and tumor free interval ranged from 4-20 months. Wide surgical excision of the canine hemangiopericytoma seems to be an eficient therapy since no recurrence ocurred. Familiarity with techniques of skin flap creation can provide the surgeon with alternatives to close a large wound resulting from tumor excision. Skin flaps can bypass many problems in open wound management including delayed healing and greater expenses.

Background: Idiopathic guttate hypomelanosis (IGH) is a pigment disorder of unknown etiology. Despite its high prevalence and the unaesthetic appearance of the lesions, there are relatively few histological studies on this disorder. This is an important gap to understanding its pathogenesis. Objectives: To assess the microscopic structure of IGH lesions compared to normal adjacent skin areas and the possible interaction between melanocytes and the subjacent dermis. Methods: In this cross‐sectional study, we took biopsy specimens of hypochromic lesions and adjacent normal skin from 20 patients with IGH. We analyzed the fragments using routine stains, immunohistochemistry, and electron microscopy. Results: We found superficial dermal fibrosis in 90% (18/20) of our IGH cases and unreported keratinocyte cytoplasmic changes on electron microscopy. Conclusion: Our results suggest an interaction between melanocytes and the subjacent dermis in IGH. These findings can help to understand melanocyte biology and the pathogenesis of other achromic lesions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
