Linfoma T tipo paniculitis en paciente con lupus cutáneo discoide crónico

We report the case of a patient with chronic discoid lupus, after an episode of lupus panniculitis, he showed lesions of similar characteristics that, once biopsied, were compatible with cutaneous panniculitis-like T cell lymphoma. The differential diagnosis between these two entities is sometimes complex, some authors argue that both are different forms of the same entity.Presentamos el caso de un paciente diagnosticado de lupus discoide crónico que, tras un episodio de paniculitis lúpica, presentó lesiones de similares características que, una vez biopsiadas, fueron compatibles con un linfoma T cutáneo tipo paniculitis.

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Systemic Autoimmune Connective Tissue Disorders behind Recurrent Diastolic Heart Failure

Diastolic heart failure (DHF) remains unexplained in some patients with recurrent admissions after full investigation. A study was directed for screening SLE and systemic autoimmune connective tissue disorders in recurrent unexplained DHF patients admitted at a short-stay and intermediate care unit. It was found that systemic autoimmune conditions explained 11% from all of cases. Therapy also prevented new readmissions. Autoimmunity should be investigated in DHF
