    Dermatofibroma in a black tattoo: report of a case
    (Universidade Federal do Pará, 2012-08-01) BITTENCOURT, Maraya de Jesus Semblano; MIRANDA, Mario Fernando Ribeiro de; PARIJÓS, Amanda Magno de; FONSECA, Diana Mendes da; JAMBO, Diego Augusto Aiezza; MESQUITA, Letícia Brito
    Tattooing has been associated with a variety of complications including inflammatory and granulomatous reactions, transmission of infections, and neoplasms. We report a case of a 24-year-old male who presented with a 2-month history of an erythematous nodule involving a newly made tattoo on the right leg. An excisional biopsy was performed and the histopathological evaluation was consistent with dermatofibroma. Only three cases of dermatofibroma associated with tatooing were reported in litetature. We report an additional case and review the literature regarding cutaneous reactions to tattoos.

    Kaposi’s sarcoma in persons living with HIV/AIDS: a case series in a tertiary referral hospital
    (Universidade Federal do Pará, 2018-08) PIRES, Carla Andréa Avelar; NORONHA, Marcos Antônio Neves; MONTEIRO, Julius Caesar Mendes Soares; COSTA, Albert Luiz Costa da; ABREU JUNIOR, José Maria de Castro
    Background: Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) is a rare neoplasm with indolent progression. Since 1981, the Kaposi’s sarcoma epidemic has increased as co-infection with HIV. Objectives: The study aimed to identify the clinical and demographic characteristics and therapeutic approaches in HIV/AIDS patients in a regional referral hospital. Methods: We analyzed the medical records of 51 patients with histopathological diagnosis of Kaposi’s sarcoma hospitalized at Hospital Universitário João de Barros Barreto (HUJBB) from 2004 to 2015. Results: The study sample consisted of individuals 15 to 44 years of age (80.4%), male (80.4%), single (86.3%), and residing in Greater Metropolitan Belém, Pará State, Brazil. The primary skin lesions identified at diagnosis were violaceous macules (45%) and violaceous papules (25%). Visceral involvement was seen in 62.7%, mainly affecting the stomach (75%). The most frequent treatment regimen was 2 NRTI + NNRTI, and 60.8% were referred to chemotherapy. Study limitations: We assumed that more patients had been admitted to hospital without histopathological confirmation or with pathology reports from other services, so that the current study probably underestimated the number of KS cases. Conclusion: Although the cutaneous manifestations in most of these patients were non-exuberant skin lesions like macules and papules, many already showed visceral involvement. Meticulous screening of these patients is thus mandatory, even if the skin lesions are subtle and localized.

    Pencil-core granuloma
    (Universidade Federal do Pará, 2017-08) BITTENCOURT, Maraya de Jesus Semblano; SANTOS, Josie Eiras Bisi dos; BARROS JUNIOR, Jorge Nazareno da Silva; XERFAN, Ellen Maria Sampaio
    Pencil core granulomas are still infrequently reported in the literature. A 67-year-old woman presented with a 4mm hard blue subcutaneous nodule on the forehead. She remembered being injured with a pencil tip about 60 years before. The subcutaneous nodule was excised, which microscopically revealed a foreign body reaction with histiocytes containing fragmented coarse black particles. We diagnosed pencil-core granuloma based on the patient’s history of pencil tip injury and histological examination findings.
