Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia is a rare and benign vascular tumor
whose etiology remains uncertain. It clinically presents itself by angiomatous
papules or nodules located on the head and neck. Many controversies in the
literature are found in relation to angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia
and Kimura's disease - its main differential diagnosis - due to their clinical
and histopathological similarities. However, currently, most studies agree that
they are distinct diseases. The present case illustrates a characteristic
description of angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia and also highlights
the main differences with Kimura's disease.
Shiitake Dermatitis is a skin eruption that resembles whiplash marks and occurs after
consumption of raw shiitake mushrooms. It is caused by a toxic reaction to lentinan,
a thermolabil polysaccharide which decomposes upon heating. We report the second case
of this dermatitis in Brazil. A 25-year-old man presented with linearly arranged
erythematous, pruritic papules on the trunk and limbs, after ingestion of a salad
containing raw shiitake mushrooms. The eruption was self-limited, resolving within 10
days of onset. The recognition of this entity gains importance due to the increased
consumption of shiitake mushrooms in occidental countries.
Os autores descrevem o caso de um paciente masculino, jovem, apresentando lesões eritemato-descamativas, maceradas, nas regiões axilares e inguinais bilateralmente, além de placas eritematosas exulceradas no sulco interglúteo. O exame histopatológico da lesão cutânea foi compatível com histiocitose de células de Langerhans, com imuno-histoquímica positiva para CD1a e S100, confirmando o diagnóstico. Na investigação de doença sistêmica, foi observada lesão nodular extra-axial na cisterna suprasselar. O paciente foi submetido à quimioterapia sistêmica, com resolução das lesões cutâneas. Atualmente, mantém acompanhamento multidisciplinar pela Dermatologia, Hematologia e Endocrinologia.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
