Dermoscopic evaluation of superficial spreading melanoma,
Trindade,Fernanda Marques; de Freitas,Maria Luiza Pires; Bittencourt,Flávia VasquesAbstract Background: Dermoscopy increases the sensitivity of the diagnosis of melanoma, leading to its early identification and increasing the chances of cure. Objective: To describe the clinical and dermoscopic characteristics of superficial spreading melanomas, and to detect the differences between in situ and invasive 1-mm thick melanomas. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study in which dermoscopic images...
Total body mapping in the follow-up of melanocytic lesions: recommendations of ...
Barcaui,Carlos; Bakos,Renato Marchiori; Paschoal,Francisco Macedo; Bittencourt,Flávia Vasques; Sá,Bianca Costa Soares de; Miot,Hélio AmanteAbstract Total body mapping comprises photographic documentation of the entire body surface followed by digital dermatoscopy of selected melanocytic lesions, aiming to compare their evolution over time and identify new lesions. As this is an exam based on comparative analysis of serial dermoscopic body images, standardization of the technique for performing total body mapping is essential. Prepared by specialis...
Extradigital glomus tumor: dermoscopic description and histopathological correl...
Garcia,Lucas Campos; Fernandes,Ethel Nunes de Sousa; Sobreira,Natália de Paiva; Bittencourt,Flávia VasquesAbstract Glomus tumors are rare benign neoplasms arising from the neuromyoarterial structure called glomus body. They present as angiomatous papules, soft and painful, especially to cold and pressure. In general, they are solitary and affect the extremities, located mainly the subungual bed. Extradigital lesions are rare and can constitute a diagnostic challenge. This is the report of a patient with an extradig...
Prognostic factors for metastasis in cutaneous melanoma
Cherobin,Ana Carolina Figueiredo Pereira; Wainstein,Alberto Julius Alves; Colosimo,Enrico Antônio; Goulart,Eugênio Marcos AndradeAbstract: Background: Melanoma is a malignant neoplasia that shows high mortality when diagnosed in advanced stages. Early identification of high-risk patients for the development of melanoma metastases is the main strategy to reduce mortality. Objective: To assess the influence of eight epidemiological and histopathologic features on the development of metastases in patients diagnosed with primary cutaneous me...
Wound myiasis: the role of entodermoscopy
Gontijo,João Renato Vianna; Bittencourt,Flávia VasquesAbstract: Although wound or traumatic myiasis is common in tropical countries, only recently cases associated with underlying dermatoses, such as seborrheic dermatitis and psoriasis, have been reported. We describe a patient with seborrheic dermatitis and an ulcerated lesion on the scalp, in which the dermatological examination with the aid of dermoscopy allowed the identification of larvae (maggots) compatible...
A prospective study of patients with large congenital melanocytic nevi and the ...
Viana,Ana Carolina Leite; Goulart,Eugênio Marcos Andrade; Gontijo,Bernardo; Bittencourt,Flávia VasquesAbstract: Background: Large congenital melanocytic nevus (LCMN) is considered a risk factor for melanoma, although the magnitude of this risk is controversial. Objective: To evaluate the risk of melanoma development in patients with LCMN seen at a dermatology referral center in Brazil during a twelve-year period. To the best of our knowledge, there are no published similar studies on large congenital melanocyti...
Brazilian guidelines for diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of primary cutaneou...
Castro,Luiz Guilherme Martins; Bakos,Renato Marchiori; Duprat Neto,João Pedreira; Bittencourt,Flávia Vasques; Giacomo,Thais Helena Bello DiAbstract The last Brazilian guidelines on melanoma were published in 2002. Development in diagnosis and treatment made updating necessary. The coordinators elaborated ten clinical questions, based on PICO system. A Medline search, according to specific MeSH terms for each of the 10 questions was performed and articles selected were classified from A to D according to level of scientific evidence. Based on the r...

Comorbidities and cardiovascular risk factors in patients with psoriasis
Baeta,Isabela Guimarães Ribeiro; Bittencourt,Flávia Vasques; Gontijo,Bernardo; Goulart,Eugênio Marcos AndradeBACKGROUND: Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease and its pathogenesis involves an interaction between genetic, environmental, and immunological factors. Recent studies have suggested that the chronic inflammatory nature of psoriasis may predispose to an association with other inflammatory diseases, especially cardiovascular diseases and metabolic disorders. OBJECTIVES: To describe the demographic, clinic...
Giant congenital melanocytic nevus
Viana,Ana Carolina Leite; Gontijo,Bernardo; Bittencourt,Flávia VasquesGiant congenital melanocytic nevus is usually defined as a melanocytic lesion present at birth that will reach a diameter ≥ 20 cm in adulthood. Its incidence is estimated in <1:20,000 newborns. Despite its rarity, this lesion is important because it may associate with severe complications such as malignant melanoma, affect the central nervous system (neurocutaneous melanosis), and have major psychosocial impact...
