- Dermatoscopy: an auxiliary resource for the diagnosis of poroid neoplasms(2018) SARAIVA, Maria Isabel Ramos; FERREIRA, Paula Silva; AVANCINI, Joao; VALENTE, Neusa Yuriko SakaiPoroid neoplasms are benign epithelial proliferations with eccrine sweat gland differentiation. They are a challenging diagnosis because of the clinical heterogeneity, being able to mimic several malignant neoplasms. They are classified into dassic poroma, hidroacanthoma simplex, dermal duct tumor and poroid hidradenoma. Association of histological subtypes occurs in more than 25% of cases. We report a case of a combined poroid neoplasia of classical poroma and poroid hidradenoma, reviewing its dermatoscopic features.
- Targetoid hemosiderotic hemangioma - Case report(2014) KAKIZAKI, Priscila; VALENTE, Neusa Yuriko Sakai; PAIVA, Daniele Loureiro Mangueira; DANTAS, Fernando Luiz Teixeira; GONÇALVES, Sheila Viana Castelo BrancoTargetoid Hemosiderotic Hemangioma, also known as Hobnail Hemangioma, is a lesion of vascular origin, probably lymphatic. The most common clinical feature is a solitary violaceous papule surrounded by a pale, thin area and a peripheral ecchymotic ring, simulating a target. Histopathologically, there is a biphasic pattern, with dilated vessels in the superficial dermis and pseudoangiosarcomatous pattern in the deep dermis, and endothelial cells with hobnail morphology. A simple excision is curative. We report a rare case of Targetoid Hemosiderotic Hemangioma.
- Immunostaining study of cytokeratins in human hair follicle development(2020) SILVA, Laura Maria Andrade; HSIEH, Ricardo; LOURENCO, Silvia Vanessa; VALENTE, Neusa Yuriko Sakai; PAIVA, Geise Rezende; FERNANDES, Juliana DumetBackground: The hair follicle is a unique structure, one of the most dynamic structures in mammalians, which can reproduce in every new cycle all the mechanism involved in its fetal development. Although a lot of research has been made about the human hair follicle much less has been discovered about the importance of the cytokeratins (CKs) in its development. Objective: Study the immunohistochemical pattern of epithelial CKs during human hair follicle development. Methods: We performed an immunohistochemical study using fresh post-mortem skin biopsies of human fetuses between 4 and 25 weeks of gestational age to study the expression of cytokeratins (CKs): CK1, CK10, CK13, CK14, CK16 and CK20 during human hair follicle fetal development. Study limitations: Restrospective study with a good number of makers but with a small population. Results/conclusion: We found that, the CKs were expressed in an intermediate time during follicular development. The epithelial CKs (CK1, CK14, CK10, CK13) and the epithelial CKs witha proliferative character such as CK16 were expressed first, as markers of cellular maturation and follicular keratinization. At a later phase, CK20 was expressed in more developed primitive hair follicles as previously discussed in literature. (C) 2020 Sociedade Brasileira de Dermatologia.
- Angiosarcoma in HIV-negative patients is not associated with HHV-8(2016) AVANCINI, Joao; CHERUBIM, Andre Pires Zanata; OLIVEIRA, Cristina Mendes de; VALENTE, Neusa Yuriko Sakai; FESTA NETO, Cyro; SANCHES, Jose Antonio; PAZZINI, Renato; SUMITA, Laura Masami; PANNUTI, Claudio SergioBACKGROUND: Angiosarcoma is an aggressive, malignant neoplasm of vascular or lymphatic origin. Herpes virus 8 (HHV-8) is a member of the herpes family with a tropism for endothelial cells and it has been proven to induce vascular neoplasms, such as Kaposi's sarcoma. The role of HHV-8 in the pathogenesis of angiosarcoma has not been well defined. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between the presence of HHV-8 and angiosarcoma. METHODS: In this study, the team investigated the relationship between the presence of HHV-8, as determined by polymerase chain reaction, and angiosarcoma, using samples from patients with epidemic Kaposi's sarcoma as controls. RESULTS: While all control cases with epidemic Kaposi's sarcoma were positive for HHV-8, none of the angiosarcoma cases was. CONCLUSION: These findings support most previous studies that found no association between HHV-8 and angiosarcoma.
- Cutaneous New World Leishmaniasis on a Port-wine stain birthmark(2014) CRIADO, Paulo Ricardo; VALENTE, Neusa Sakai; NODA, Aliene; BELDA JUNIOR, WalterWe present an interesting case report of two sarcoid-like lesions on a port-wine stain (PWS) birthmark in a Brazilian patient which on investigation proved to be cutaneous leishmaniasis.
- Lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia: review and update of diagnostic and therapeutic features(2022) FECHINE, Carolina Oliveira Costa; VALENTE, Neusa Yuriko Sakai; ROMITI, RicardoLichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia are primary scarring alopecias where diagnosis can be suggested by clinical and trichoscopy features, especially in the early stages, but scalp biopsy is the standard exam for definitive diagnosis. Frontal fibrosing alopecia is considered a variant of lichen planopilaris, as the histopathological findings are similar, with a perifollicular lymphohistiocytic infiltrate, sometimes with a lichenoid pattern. A thorough clinical examination, trichoscopy and photographic documentation are essential to assess the evolution and therapeutic response. To date, there are no validated treatments or guidelines for these diseases, but there are recommendations that vary with the individual characteristics of each patient. This article presents a comprehensive review of the literature, including an update on topics related to the diagnosis, follow-up, histopathological aspects and available treatments for lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia, highlighting their similarities, differences and peculiarities.

- Pigmented Kamino bodies: a little-known histological finding. Prevalence in 19 cases of Reed nevus(2017) ANTUNES, Ana Caroline Barreto; FERREIRA, Paula Silva; VESPOLI, Aline Caixeta Guimaraes; VALENTE, Neusa Yuriko SakaiThe present study aimed to determine the prevalence of Kamino bodies in Reed nevus, since most studies to date show conflicting data on this issue. This was a retrospective observational study, in which the histopathology of 19 Reed nevus lesions were reviewed. The slides were stained by hematoxylin and eosin and periodic acid-Schiff, with a special focus placed on the identification of Kamino bodies. Some clinical data were also collected. The median patient age was 12 years (range of 2 to 58). The women to men ratio was 5:4. Lesions were located on different parts of the body. Kamino bodies were found in eleven lesions (57.89%). five showed pigmented Kamino bodies (26.31%), four non-pigmented Kamino bodies (21,05%), and 2 (10.52%) had both. Kamino bodies, pigmented or not, are a common histological finding in Reed nevus and may well represent a good marker to differentiate these from malignant melanomas.

- Methotrexate for refractory adult atopic dermatitis leads to alterations in cutaneous IL-31 and IL-31RA expression(2024) SAMORANO, Luciana Paula; MANFRERE, Kelly Cristina Gomes; PEREIRA, Naiura Vieira; TAKAOKA, Roberto; VALENTE, Neusa Yuriko Sakai; SOTTO, Mirian Nacagami; SILVA, Luiz Fernando Ferraz; SATO, Maria Notomi; AOKI, ValeriaBackground: Methotrexate (MTX) is an alternative treatment for patients with moderate/severe atopic dermatitis (AD). Objective: The authors evaluated the effect of MTX on the cutaneous expression of cytokines and chemokines that are involved in the inflammatory response in adult AD patients who received treatment with methotrexate for 24 weeks. Methods: The authors conducted a prospective single-institution cohort study with 12 adults with moderate/severe AD who received oral MTX (15 mg/wk for 24 wks) and 10 non-atopic matched controls. The comparison was made of skin biopsies of lesional and non-lesional skin, pre- and post MTX treatment. The authors analyzed mean epidermal thickness and expression of IL-31, IL-31RA, OSMR, TSLP, Ki67, IL-4 mRNA, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma, TARC, and CCL-22. Results: There was a reduction in mean epidermal thickness (p = 0.021), an increase in IL-31RA expression (immunohistochemistry) in the epidermis (p = 0.016) and a decrease in IL-31 gene expression (p = 0.019) on lesional AD skin post-MTX treatment. No significant changes in the cutaneous expression of the other evaluated markers were identified. Study limitations: Small sample size and limited length of follow-up. Conclusions: Treatment with MTX in adults with moderate/severe AD reduced epidermal hyperplasia and changed the cutaneous expression of inflammatory cytokines and receptors that are mainly related to pruritus, including IL-31 and IL-31RA.

- Corymbiform nodular amyloidosis(2012) GONÇALVES, Sheila Viana Castelo Branco; VALENTE, Neusa Yuriko Sakai; PASSARO, Edviges Maria Cezareto; PAIVA, Daniele Loureiro Mangueira; DANTAS, Fernando Luiz Teixeira; KAKIZAKI, PriscilaAmyloidosis is part of a group of deposition diseases. Nodular amyloidosis is a rare form of primary cutaneous amyloidosis. It affects men and women, usually over the age of 60 years. Presenting manifestation of the disease are yellowish-erythematous or brownish nodules or plaques in single or multiple infiltrates. Systemic evaluation should be performed to rule out involvement of other organs. Follow-up of the patient is important because the condition may progress to systemic amyloidosis. We report a case of nodular amyloidosis in which the lesion had a corymbiform aspect without systemic involvement and no recurrence after two years of follow-up.
