Penfigóide bolhoso no lactente

Bullous pemphigoid typically affects the elderly. Since the first description of bullous pemphigoid in childhood in 1970, about 50 cases have been reported, but only 10 were reported in children under the first year of age. We report a case of bullous pemphigoid in a 4-month-old girl and discuss the clinical and immunopathological features of this rare bullous disease of infancy.

Hamartoma angiomatoso écrino: um tumor doloroso

Eccrine angiomatous hamartoma (EAH) is a benign lesion usually present at birth. In most cases it presents as a flesh-colored or erythematous nodule or patch. It may or may not be associated with focal hyperhydrosis and pain. It is most commonly located in the lower extremities, near the knee or on the toes, but lesions on the face, sacral and cervical region and trunk have been described. The main differential diagnosis should be made with a glomus tumor. In general, EAH shows benign behavior, and spontaneous remission of pain has been described. Cases have been reported in which the pain led to excision and even to amputation of the affected member. The authors present a case of late onset EAH, with exuberant symptoms, which was difficult to treat.
