- Multiple cutaneous reticulohistiocytomas in a patient with rheumatoid arthritisPublication . Vieira, R; Robalo-Cordeiro, M; Mariano, A; Reis, JP; Tellechea, O; Figueiredo, AA 64-year-old woman with a long-standing peripheral symmetric polyarthritis with positive rheumatoid serology was evaluated for multiple asymptotic papulonodules of fingers, mentum, lower lip, ears, and eyelids. Histopathologic examination showed a dermal infiltrate composed of histiocytes, multinucleate giant cells with ground-glass cytoplasm, and lymphocytes, suggestive of reticulohistiocytoma. The possibilities of multicentric reticulohistiocytosis with positive rheumatoid serology or coexistence of multiple cutaneous reticulohistiocytomas and rheumatoid arthritis are discussed.

- Solitary frontal ulcer: A syphilitic gummaPublication . Andrade, P; Mariano, A; Figueiredo, AWe report the case of a 30-year-old woman presenting with a single, deep, asymptomatic frontal ulcer that had developed in the previous two months without preceding trauma. Blood tests revealed reactive Rapid Plasma Reagin and Treponema pallidum hemagglutination assays. The diagnosis of syphilitic gumma was confirmed after histological analysis of the ulcer border. No other manifestations of late syphilis were detected. Ulcer healing was observed after treatment with benzathine penicillin and there was progressive reduction of follow-up serum RPR titers. The relevance of this case arises from its unusual presentation in a previously healthy immunocompetent individual.
