| description | Introduction: Pruritus is a common symptom in dermatological practice. Affecting patients with a wide range of cutaneous and systemic diseases. It can be caused by cutaneous disorders, systemic diseases, neurological disorders, psychological disorders, medications, among others. When assessing individuals with pruritus and cutaneous lesions, it is essential to consider mycosis fungoides and granuloma annulare as noteworthy differential diagnoses. Case presentation: A 51-year-old female patient exhibited symptoms of pruritus and two occurrences of pruritic skin lesions. Accompanied by a low-grade fever measuring 37.7 ºC, as well as asthenia and myalgia. Physical examination revealed two rounded plaques with erythematous borders and multiple non-confluent papular lesions. Discussion: Differentiating between mycosis fungoides and granuloma annulare can be challenging due to the similarities in their clinical presentations. However, performing a biopsy is essential to reach a definitive diagnosis. Conclusions: A biopsy is being suggested for the front part of the left lower limb. The application of mometasone furoate twice a day for two weeks was prescribed. Subsequently, a meeting has been arranged to conduct a review and to carefully analyze the biopsy findings within thirty days. |

Puede estar causado por trastornos cutáneos, enfermedades sistémicas, trastornos neurológicos, trastornos psicológicos y medicamentos, entre otros. En la evaluación de personas con prurito y lesiones cutáneas, es fundamental tener en cuenta la micosis fungoide y el granuloma anular como diagnósticos diferenciales destacables. Presentación del caso clínico: Una paciente de 51 años de edad presentaba síntomas de prurito y dos apariciones de lesiones cutáneas pruriginosas, acompañadas de fiebre baja de 37.7 ºC, así como astenia y mialgias. El examen físico reveló dos placas redondeadas con bordes eritematosos y múltiples lesiones papulares no confluentes. Discusión: Diferenciar entre micosis fungoide y granuloma anular puede ser un reto debido a las similitudes en sus presentaciones clínicas. Sin embargo, la realización de una biopsia es esencial para llegar a un diagnóstico definitivo. Conclusiones: Se sugiere la realización de una biopsia en la parte anterior del miembro inferior izquierdo. Se prescribe la aplicación de furoato de mometasona dos veces al día durante dos semanas. Posteriormente, se ha concertado una reunión para realizar una revisión y deliberar sobre los resultados de la biopsia en un plazo de treinta días.Quito: Universidad Central del Ecuador2024-01-15info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtículo evaluado por paresapplication/pdfhttps://revistadigital.uce.edu.ec/index.php/CIENCIAS_MEDICAS/article/view/598510.29166/rfcmq.v49i1.5985Revista de la Facultad de Ciencias Médicas (Quito); Vol. 49 No. 1 (2024): Revista de la Facultad de Ciencias Médicas (Quito); 30 - 36Revista de la Facultad de Ciencias Médicas (Quito); Vol. 49 Núm. 1 (2024): Revista de la Facultad de Ciencias Médicas (Quito); 30 - 362737-61412588-0691reponame:Revista Ciencias Médicasinstname:Universidad Central del Ecuadorinstacron:UCEspahttps://revistadigital.uce.edu.ec/index.php/CIENCIAS_MEDICAS/article/view/5985/7397Derechos de autor 2024 Manuel Flores-Sáenzhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2024-01-31T13:56:30Zoai:revistadigital.uce.edu.ec:article/5985Portal de revistashttps://revistadigital.uce.edu.ec/Universidad públicahttps://uce.edu.ec/**Ecuador*2737-61412588-0691opendoar:*2024-01-31T13:56:30Revista Ciencias Médicas - Universidad Central del Ecuadorfalse |
