- Giant cutaneous horn on the lower lipPublication . Pinto-Almeida, T.; Oliveira, A.; Velho, G.; Alves, R.; Caetano, M.; Selores, M.Cutaneous horn is a conical hyperkeratotic projection of the skin composed of compact keratin. A wide range of pathologic conditions may be found at its base, including a significant proportion of malignant tumors. A notable, giant cutaneous horn uncovering a keratoacanthoma/well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma is presented, highlighting the importance of histopathological examination to rule out malignancy because clinical features cannot assure a correct diagnosis.
- Leukemia cutis resembling a flare-up of psoriasisPublication . Ferreira, M.; Caetano, M.; Amorim, I.; Selores, M.Abstract Leukemia cutis represents a skin infiltration by leukemic cells. Clinically it can mimic a wide variety of dermatoses. We describe the case of a 64-year-old man with psoriasis who presented with a 4-day history of erythematous, slightly scaly, asymptomatic plaques distributed on the trunk and upper-extremities, and associated asthenia, myalgias, and anorexia. A skin biopsy revealed a leukemic infiltrate. Studies of peripheral blood and bone marrow provided a diagnosis of acute monocytic leukemia. This case report shows the importance of the clinical suspicion for the diagnosis of leukemia.
- Penile Kaposi sarcoma: A case of complete resolution with highly active antiretroviral therapy alonePublication . Pinto-Almeida, T.; Torres, T.; Rosmaninho, A.; Sanches, M.; Alves, R.; Caetano, M.; Selores, M.Kaposi sarcoma remains an important cause of morbidity in HIV-infected patients. Regardless of the recent pharmacological progress, treatment of this malignancy is still disappointing. We report the case of a patient with Kaposi sarcoma in an unusual localization, the penis, which completely resolved with highly active antiretroviral therapy alone
- Primary cutaneous marginal zone B cell lymphoma of the face: A challenging diagnosisPublication . Oliveira, A.; Caetano, M.; Alves, R.; Lima, M.; Selores, M.The primary cutaneous marginal zone B cell lymphoma is a small B cell lymphoma, including cells of the marginal zone, lymphoplasmacytic cells, and plasma cells. Clinically it manifests as erythematous or erythematous-violaceous papules, plaques, or nodules, single or multiple, most often located to the extremities. Its course is usually indolent, with a survival at 5 years of approximately 97 percent. The tumor exhibits a tendency towards local recurrence, but spread to locations outside the skin is extremely rare. We present a case report of a man, 80 years of age, with a primary cutaneous marginal B cell lymphoma of the chin, an atypical location.
- Transient peripheral facial nerve paralysis after local anesthetic procedurePublication . Rosmaninho, A.; Lobo, I.; Caetano, M.; Taipa, R.; Magalhães, M.; Costa, V.; Selores, M.Complications may arise after laser therapy of the face. The most common ones are bleeding and infections; facial nerve paresis or paralysis is rarely reported. We describe a case of a transient peripheral facial nerve paralysis after laser therapy of an epidermal verrucous nevus localized at the left preauricular area.
