    A tatuagem Ă© definida como deposição de pigmento intencional ou acidental na pele. Os pigmentos tĂȘm sido associados a diversas dermatoses, como a dermatite de contato alĂ©rgica, a dermatite liquenoide e as reaçÔes fotoinduzidas, granulomatosas, sarcoĂ­deas e pseudolinfomatosas. Enfocam-se os diversos tipos de reaçÔes aos pigmentos e a importĂąncia de reconhecĂȘ-los clinicamente. SĂŁo relatados dois casos: um de dermatite liquenoide sobre o pigmento vermelho e outro de pseudolinfoma sobre os pigmentos vermelho e lilĂĄs e de reação fotoinduzida sobre o amarelo. A remoção geralmente requer mĂșltiplos tratamentos, e a maioria nĂŁo retira as cores completamente

    No full text
    CONTEXT: Erythema elevatum diutinum is a chronic and rare dermatosis that is considered to be a variant of leukocytoclastic vasculitis. It is probably mediated by immune complexes. It is generally associated with autoimmune, neoplastic and infectious processes. Recently, it has been added to the group of specific dermatoses that are associated with HIV. CASE REPORT: We report on the case of a patient who had erythema elevatum diutinum as the first clinical evidence for diagnosing HIV infection. Dapsone was used in the treatment of this patient, and partial regression of the lesions was achieved within 15 days, even before antiretroviral therapy was prescribed. CONCLUSION: When there is a diagnosis of erythema elevatum diutinum, HIV infection should be investigated, especially in atypical and exacerbated clinical manifestations
