RESUMO
RESUMEN La Pitiriasis Rubra Pilaris es una enfermedad papuloescamosa, secundaria a un trastorno de la cornificaciónde causa desconocida, se manifiesta clínicamente por pápulas hiperqueratósicas y queratodermiapalmoplantar. Existen diferentes formas de clasificar la enfermedad,en función de la edad deinicio, morfología, curso clínico y pronóstico. La forma de presentación más frecuente corresponde a la clásica del adulto (Tipo I), alrededor del 55% de todos los casos. Por tratarse de una enfermedad con baja incidencia, de etiología poco clara y con la posibilidad de remisión espontánea, no existe un tratamiento universalmente aceptado, la mayor parte de la evidencia proviene de reportes de casos, series de casos y algunos estudios retrospectivos. Presentamos el caso clínico de una paciente de 57 años de edad con diagnóstico de Pitiriasis Rubra Pilaris con respuesta favorable a retinoides.
SUMMARY PityriasisRubra Pilaris is a papulosquamous disease, secondary to a cornification disorder of unknown cause, clinically manifested by hyperkeratosic papules and palmoplantar keratoderma. There are different ways to classify the disease, it corresponds to six subtypes depending on the age of onset, morphology, clinical course and prognosis. The most frequent form of presentation corresponds to the classic one of the adult (Type I), around 55% of all cases. Due to it is a low incidence disease, with an unclear etiology and the possibility of spontaneous remission, there is no universally accepted treatment and most of the evidence comes from individual case reports, small case series, and some retrospective studies. We present the clinical case of a 57-year-old patient diagnosed with PityriasisRubra Pilaris with a favorable response to retinoids.
RESUMO
Resumen El pénfigo foliáceo es una enfermedadversículo ampollar autoinmune poco frecuente,caracterizada histopatológicamente por acantólisis, inducida por la presencia de autoanticuerpos frente a la desmogleína 1. El desprendimiento se localiza en los estratos más superficiales de la epidermis produciendo ampollas frágiles y erosiones. Se clasifica en endémico y no endémico o esporádico. Dentro de este último podemos encontrar una variedad localizada y una generalizada. Presentamos el caso de un paciente, con diagnósticoy confirmación histopatológica de pénfigo foliáceo y realizamos una breve revisión de la literatura.
Summary Foliaceus pemphigus is an infrequent autoimmune blistering verse disease characterized histopathologically by acantholysis, induced by the presence of autoantibodies against desmoglein 1. The detachment is located in the most superficial layers of the epidermis produces fragile blisters and erosions. It is classified as endemic, and not endemic or sporadic. Within the latter we can find a localized and a generalized variety. Presents the case of a patient, diagnosis and histopathological confirmation of a paper and makes a brief review of the literature.

Paraneoplastic dermatomyositis is an inflammatory disease of the connective tissue that is caused by inmmunologic events in the presence of malignant tumors. It is more likely to happen in middle aged women and is related to ovarian, pancreatic, stomach and colon cancer and non Hogdkin lymphoma. We present two cases of dermatomyositis, with amyopathic origin associated to breast cancer. The first case occurs as the neoplasia evolves and the second one as an initial manifestation that leads to the search and subsequent diagnosis of cancer.

Histoplasmosis is a cosmopolitan mycosis caused by Histoplasma capsulatum. It is endemic of Río de la Plata's riverbed and in immunocompromised patients may be deadly. We present two patients with Human Immunodeficiency Virus diagnosed with subacute disseminated histoplasmosis, which is a marker of Acquired Human Immunodeficiency Syndrome. This situation increases the morbimortality, thus forcing clinicians to diagnose and treat rapidly in order to avoid fatal outcomes.
La histoplasmosis es una micosis cosmopolita causada por el Histoplasmacapsulatum. Es un hongo endémico de la cuenca del Río de La Plata que si afecta a inmunosuprimidos puede ser mortal. Presentamos dos pacientes con Virus de Inmunodeficiencia Humana con diagnóstico de histoplasmosis diseminada subaguda. Esta situación los cataloga en estadío de Síndrome de Inmunodeficiencia Adquirida y requiere pronta acción médica para evitar complicaciones.
