Sweet’s syndrome and erythema nodosum following simultaneous COVID-19 and influ...
Freitas,Jéssica F.; Alé,Gabriela C. M.; Stolnicki,Daniela K.; Trovó,Marcus; Quintella,Danielle C.; Belles,Fernando M.; Cuzzi,TulliaAbstract Sweet syndrome (SS) and erythema nodosum (EN) are dermatoses triggered by factors such as vaccination. We report two cases of EN and SS simultaneously, following vaccination against COVID-19 and influenza, in female patients, in their fourth decade of life, presenting with painful erythematous papules on the upper limbs, painful nodules on the lower limbs, and fever, with no relevant laboratory alterat...
Perturbação Factícia Bolhosa Simulando Penfigoide Bolhoso: Relato de Caso e Rev...
Santino,Mariana Franco Ferraz; Fernandes,Nurimar Conceição; Quintella,Danielle Carvalho; Cuzzi,TulliaRESUMO A perturbação factícia na dermatologia é uma dermatose que vem ocorrendo com maior frequência na população mundial. A prevalência em torno de 2% reportada nas clínicas dermatológicas é provavelmente é subdiagnosticada, já que o paciente não costuma estar ciente da sua natureza autoinfligida. Quando se manifesta por lesões bolhosas, pode ser confundida com doenças bolhosas autoimunes. Relata-se o caso de ...
Validation of an algorithm based on clinical, histopathological and immunohisto...
Amorim,Gustavo Moreira; Quintella,Daniele Carvalho; Niemeyer-Corbellini,João Paulo; Ferreira,Luiz Claudio; Ramos-e-Silva,Marcia; Cuzzi,TulliaAbstract Background: Diagnosis of mycosis fungoides is challenging due to the non-specificity of clinical and histopathological findings. The literature indicates an average delay of 4-6 years for a conclusive diagnosis. Refinement of the histopathological criteria for the diagnosis of patients in early stages of the disease is considered of interest. Objectives: To study the histopathological aspects of early-...
Clinical and epidemiological profile of patients with early stage mycosis fungo...
Amorim,Gustavo Moreira; Niemeyer-Corbellini,João Paulo; Quintella,Danielle Carvalho; Cuzzi,Tullia; Ramos-e-Silva,MárciaAbstract: Background: Mycosis fungoides is the most common form of primary cutaneous lymphoma, with an indolent, slowly progressive course and 88% five-year survival rate. The diagnosis is challenging, especially in the early stages, and usually relies on a good clinical-histopathological correlation. Objective: The aim was to establish the clinical and epidemiological profile of patients with early-stage mycos...
Evaluation of the Cutaneous Lymphoma International Prognostic Index in patients...
Amorim,Gustavo Moreira; Corbellini,João Paulo Niemeyer; Quintella,Danielle Carvalho; Cuzzi,Tullia; Ramos-e-Silva,MárciaAbstract: Background: Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common subtype of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. TNMB system is the staging method used in MF, and it not only guides therapeutic management, but represents the main prognostic factor. In order to improve the prognostic evaluation, the Cutaneous Lymphoma International Prognostic Index (CLIPi) was proposed. Objective: To evaluate the performance of CLIPi score...
Hemosiderotic dermatofibroma
Villarreal,Delky Johanna Villarreal; Luz,Aline Tanus; Buçard,Alice Mota; Abreu,Luciana de; Cuzzi,TulliaAbstract: We report a rare clinical case of hemosiderotic dermatofibroma in a 36-year-old female patient. The main dermatoscopic finding was represented by homogeneous blue-gray pigmentation. The aim of this report is to demonstrate the rarity of the lesion and the dermatoscopic importance it assumes by sharing a blue-gray homogeneous pattern with other benign and malignant lesions.
Histopathological diagnosis of small melanocytic lesions suspicious for maligna...
Quintella,Danielle Carvalho; Campos-do-Carmo,Gabriella; Quintella,Leonardo Pereira; Cuzzi,TulliaAbstract The concern about malignant skin neoplasms leads to the excision of smaller lesions. This study on small melanocytic lesions aims to evaluate the range of possible histopathological diagnoses, describe histopathological aspects, and assess the usefulness of serial histological sections. We performed a cross-sectional descriptive histopathological study examining 76 pigmented skin lesions up to 6 mm in ...
Oral isotretinoin in photoaging: objective histological evidence of efficacy an...
Bravo,Bruna Souza Felix; Azulay,David Rubem; Luiz,Ronir Raggio; Mandarim-De-Lacerda,Carlos Alberto; Cuzzi,Tullia; Azulay,Mônica ManelaAbstractBACKGROUND:The off-label use of oral isotretinoin in photoaging is a therapeutic tool that has been used by dermatologists. There are few studies to corroborate its effectiveness and durability.OBJECTIVES:To assess, both clinically and histologically, the changes caused by the use of oral isotretinoin in skin photoaging as well as the duration of the effects.METHODS:20 female patients, aged 45-50 years,...
Fractional Erbium laser in the treatment of photoaging: randomized comparative,...
Borges,Juliano; Cuzzi,Tullia; Mandarim-de-Lacerda,Carlos Alberto; Manela-Azulay,MônicaBACKGROUND: Fractional non-ablative lasers keep the epidermis intact, while fractional ablative lasers remove it, making them theoretically more effective. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the clinical and histological alterations induced by fractional photothermolysis for treating photoaging, comparing the possible equivalence of multiple sessions of 1540nm Erbium, to one session of 2940nm Erbium. METHODS: Eighteen pat...
Immunohistochemical detection of the latent nuclear antigen-1 of the human herp...
Pereira,Patricia Fonseca; Cuzzi,Tullia; Galhardo,Maria Clara GutierrezKaposi's sarcoma is the most common neoplasia diagnosed in AIDS patients and the expression of the human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) latent nuclear antigen-1 has been useful for its histological diagnosis. The aim of this study is to confirm that immunohistochemistry is a valuable tool for differentiating KS from its simulators in skin biopsies of HIV patients. Immunohistochemical and histological analyses were perfo...
