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...
Keep it simple. A ten-year experience in reconstructions after Mohs micrographi...
Brandão,Caroline Martins; Weimann,Ellem Tatiani de Souza; Terzian,Luiz Roberto; Machado Filho,Carlos D'Apparecida Santos; Paschoal,Francisco MacedoAbstract Background: Mohs micrographic surgery is worldwide used for treating skin cancers. After obtaining tumor-free margins, choosing the most appropriate type of closure can be challenging. Objectives: Our aim was to associate type of surgical reconstructions after Mohs micrographic surgery with the characteristics of the tumors as histological subtype, anatomical localization and especially number of surgi...
Horizontal histological sections in the preliminary evaluation of basal cell ca...
Portela,Poliana Santin; Teixeira,Danilo Augusto; Machado,Carlos D'Aparecida Santos; Pinhal,Maria Aparecida Silva; Paschoal,Francisco MacedoAbstract Background: Mohs micrographic surgery is a surgical technique for the treatment of nonmelanoma skin cancer. Surgery begins by removing the visible tumor before excision of the tissue specimens for evaluation of the tumor margins. Objectives: To present a new way to evaluate the material obtained from debulking, by horizontal histological analysis of the fragment. Methods: Descriptive retrospective cros...
Reflectance confocal microscopy of cutaneous melanoma. Correlation with dermosc...
Rstom,Silvia Arroyo; Libório,Lorena Silva; Paschoal,Francisco MacedoAbstract In vivo Confocal Microscopy is a method for non-invasive, real-time visualization of microscopic structures and cellular details of the epidermis and dermis, which has a degree of resolution similar to that obtained with histology. We present a case of cutaneous melanoma in which diagnosis was aided by confocal microscopy examination. We also correlate the observed features with the dermoscopic and his...
Argyria mimicking a blue nevis: dermoscopy features
Enei,Maria Leonor; Paschoal,Francisco Macedo; Valdes,RodrigoArgyria is a rare disease caused by prolonged skin contact with silver. Localized cases have been described regarding the use of topical medications, and trauma with objects containing this metal such as acupuncture needles and jewelry. Clinically, a macule or a patch, round or oval, appears in the infected area, with a characteristic bluey-gray color. To our knowledge this is the first time that this clinical ...
Spitz nevus and Reed nevus
Yoradjian,Alessandra; Enokihara,Mílvia Maria Simões e Silva; Paschoal,Francisco MacedoSpitz and Reed nevi, also called spindle and/or epithelioid cell nevi, are a special group of melanocytic lesions due to their peculiar clinical, dermoscopic and histopathological features. The study of these nevi is of great interest because both their nomenclature and classification are still a matter of discussion. Most importantly, the difficulty to differentiate them from melanoma can lead to inadequate th...
Basal cell carcinoma appearing in a facial nevus sebaceous of Jadassohn: dermos...
Enei,Maria Leonor; Paschoal,Francisco Macedo; Valdés,Gustavo; Valdés,RodrigoThe nevus sebaceous of Jadassohn usually affects the face or scalp. It tends to evolve in three stages, and the final stage is characterized by the appearance of tumours. We present the case of a facial nevus sebaceous of Jadasshon in which a basal cell carcinoma developed. We also explore the diagnosis of this disease, which was established through dermoscopy, and propose using this technique in the clinical f...
Action of topical mometasone on the pigmented halos of micrografting in patient...
Saldanha,Karine Dantas Diógenes; Machado Filho,Carlos D'Apparecida Santos; Paschoal,Francisco MacedoBACKGROUND: Vitiligo is a prevalent skin pigmentation disorder worldwide. The treatments available still offer limited results to some patients. For patients with clinically stable vitiligo, melanocyte transplantation is an appropriate treatment option, and the technique of autologous punch grafting shows good repigmentation. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of topical mometasone on the halos of repigmentation...
Fundamentos da fotografia digital em Dermatologia
Miot,Hélio Amante; Paixão,Maurício Pedreira; Paschoal,Francisco MacedoA tecnologia digital promoveu grande popularização do registro fotográfico em diversas áreas médicas. A dermatologia, por sua natureza visual, vem absorvendo os benefícios dessa ferramenta na prática clínica e na pesquisa. Este artigo visa orientar o dermatologista não familiarizado com essa tecnologia, oferecendo noções para o melhor uso do equipamento de fotografia digital.
Nevo de Sutton simulando nevo em cocar: relato de caso
Zanini,Maurício; Machado Filho,Carlos D'Apparecida; Paschoal,Francisco Macedo; Le Vocci,FranciscoOs autores relatam um caso de nevo halo de Sutton simulando clinicamente o nevo em cocar. Nevo em cocar é uma rara variante do nevo nevomelanocítico adquirido que apresenta característico aspecto de lesão em alvo. Pode determinar dificuldade diagnóstica com nevo nevomelanocítico displásico, melanoma e nevo halo de Sutton.
