[Localized granuloma annulare in patient with graves hyperthyroidism: case report].

Granuloma annulare (GA) is a begin dermatosis characterized, in general, for papular lesions with annular configuration. Its clinical forms comprehend localized GA, generalized GA, perforating GA and subcutaneous GA. With unknown etiology many factors have been responsible, including autoimmune diseases. We describe a case of a 45-year-old man, with characteristic dermatological injuries of localized GA, associated to systemic alterations, compatible with hyperthyroidism (Graves disease). The patient was submitted to an endocrine and dermatological treatment with control of the clinical state. The unusual association of localized GA with hyperthyroidism, not found in the medical literature, stimulated us to publish the case.

Disseminated cutaneous cryptococcosis in a patient with AIDS.

The authors study a patient carrying AIDS, with exuberant dermatological manifestations of cryptococcosis. They stress the therapeutic effectiveness of short-term amphotericin B. The authors reviewed cases of cutaneous infection with Cryptococcus reported in the national and international literature, verifying that the frequency has increased with the AIDS epidemic. Also, they discuss about the differential diagnosis with some cases of dermatosis, particularly with the disseminated giant molluscum contagiosum. In relation to the therapy, they affirm that the choice of drug depends on the organ involved, as well as the immune state of the patient.
