Nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis
Carvalho,Gustavo de Sá Menezes; Cavalcanti,Silvana Maria de Morais; Herênio,Alzinira Souza; Teixeira,Márcia Almeida GalvãoAbstract We report a case of nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis of Hoffman-Zurhelle (NCLS), with multiple lesions, in a ten-year-old child. The NLCS is considered rare. The classical clinical presentation is characterized by multiple skin-colored or yellowish papules and nodules, which can have a linear distribution. Histologically, it is characterized by the presence of mature ectopic adipocytes in the ...
Porokeratosis simulating Bowen’s disease on dermoscopy
Herênio,Alzinira Sousa; Cavalcanti,Silvana Maria de Morais; França,Emmanuel Rodrigues de; Maranhão,Clarissa Marques; Alencar,Eliane Ruth Barbosa deAbstract Porokeratosis is a disorder of epidermal keratinization characterized by the presence of annular hyperkeratotic plaques. Its etiopathogenesis is not yet fully understood, but a relationship with immunosuppression has been reported. Dermoscopic examination revealed a classic yellowish-white ring-like structure that resembled “volcanic crater contour” – the so-called cornoid lamella. We describe a case o...
Dermatofibroma simulating seborrheic keratosis dermoscopically
Barroso,Daniel Holanda; Leite,Camila Pinon Zoby; Araujo,Gabriela Diniz de Souza; Teixeira,Márcia Almeida Galvão; Alencar,Eliane Ruth BarbosaAbstract: Dermatofibroma is a frequent benign tumor of easy clinical diagnosis in most cases, but that can mimic other dermatoses. Dermoscopy may help to define the diagnosis and its classical pattern is a central white area, similar to a scar, surrounded by a discrete pigment network. However, dermoscopic findings are not always typical. We describe here a case of dermatofibroma exhibiting ridges, furrows and ...
Post-kala-azar dermal Leishmaniasis in two different clinical contexts
Barroso,Daniel Holanda; Silva,Claúdia Elise Ferraz; Vasconcelos,Ana Carolina Depes Perdigao e; Cavalcanti,Silvana Maria de MoraisAbstract In Brazil, visceral Leishmaniasis is caused by Leishmania chagasi. The development of cutaneous lesions in visceral leishmaniasis patients has been described in two different clinical contexts. Patients with compromised immunity can develop skin lesions as a direct consequence of a current visceral disease. Equally, patients with a history of kala-azar and progressive, immune improvement occasionally d...
Pigmented eccrine poroma: report of an atypical case with the use of dermoscopy
Almeida,Fabiana Carvalho de; Cavalcanti,Silvana Maria de Morais; Medeiros,Angela Cristina Rapela; Teixeira,Marcia Almeida GalvaoPoromas are uncommon benign neoplasms originating from the terminal ductal portion of the sweat glands, mainly characterized by skin-colored or pink pa pules or nodules, usually on the extremities. Due to their rarity, the pigmented form clinical hypothesis is hardly ever suggested and psychopathology is fundamental. We report a case of pigmented eccrine poroma in the right palmer area, a location considered at...
Linear lichen planus in children - case report
Horowitz,Marcia Raquel; Vidal,Marcela de Lima; Resende,Manuela Oliveira; Teixeira,Márcia Almeida Galvão; Cavalcanti,Silvana Maria de MoraisLichen planus is an uncommon disease in children, and only 2 to 3% of affected patients are under twenty years of age. This dermatosis may appear in several clinical forms, which vary according to the morphology and distribution of lesions. In less than 0.2% of all lichen planus cases, the lesions are distributed along the lines of Blaschko, and is a variant called linear lichen planus. This is a case report of...
A quantitative analysis of Propionibacterium acnes in lesional and non-lesional...
Cavalcanti,Silvana Maria de Morais; França,Emmanuel Rodrigues de; Magalhães,Marcelo; Lins,Ana Kelly; Brandão,Laura Costa; Magalhães,VeraLittle is known about the etiology of progressive macular hypomelanosis, although it has been suggested that Propionibacterium acnes plays an important role. While microbiological culture is commonly employed to identify Propionibacterium acnes, new identification methods have been under investigation, amongst them polymerase chain reaction. To determine the cut-off point for the number of genome copies of Prop...

Cavalcanti,Silvana Maria de Morais; França,Emmanuel Rodrigues de; Vilela,Marinalda Anselmo; Montenegro,Francisco; Cabral,CarlosO Staphylococcus aureus é um dos principais patógenos que coloniza indivíduos saudáveis na comunidade e responde por infecções em pacientes hospitalizados. Um estudo transversal foi realizado para determinar a prevalência de S. aureus meticilina-resistente e sensível entre 231 pacientes, internados entre janeiro e abril de 2003, nas unidades de terapia intensiva (UTIs) do Hospital Universitário Oswaldo Cruz, as...
