RESUMEN
The aim of this study was to determine whether recurrent Dupuytren's disease after collagenase Clostridium histolyticum treatment differs histologically from recurrence in those treated with fasciectomy. We carried out a prospective cohort study of patients with Dupuytren's disease who underwent fasciectomy to treat disease recurrence after previous treatment with collagenase Clostridium histolyticum or fasciectomy. The pathologists and statistician were blinded to the previous treatment. Longitudinal biopsy sections were stained with haematoxylin-eosin and the nodular zones were examined. Fifteen patients were studied: nine previously treated with collagenase Clostridium histolyticum and six previously treated with fasciectomy. There were no histological differences between the samples from the two groups of patients. Dupuytren's disease recurrences after fasciectomy and collagenase Clostridium histolyticum are histologically indistinguishable.

Whipple's disease is an infrequent chronic infection caused by Tropheryma whipplei, identified in 1992. Intestinal, articular, central nervous system and cardiac involvement is common. The presence of abdominal adenopathies, especially mesenteric adenopathies, without peripheral adenopathies or gastrointestinal, articular, neurological or cardiac symptoms is rare. We present the case of a male patient with tonsillar hypertrophy, mesenteric adenopathies, fever and constitutional syndrome, leading to suspicion of lymphoma. Biopsy findings of the lingual tonsil and mesenteric adenopathies were compatible with Whipple's disease. The diagnosis was confirmed by blood polymerase chain reaction.

La enfermedad de Whipple es una infección crónica poco habitual, cuyo germen causal, Tropheryma whipplei, fue identificado en 1992. En esta entidad es frecuente la participación del intestino, las articulaciones, el sistema nervioso central y el corazón. La presencia de adenopatías abdominales, sobre todo mesentéricas, sin adenopatías periféricas ni síntomas digestivos, articulares, neurológicos o cardíacos, es rara. Se presenta el caso de un paciente con hipertrofia amigdalar, adenopatías mesentéricas, fiebre y síndrome constitucional, en el que se sospechó un linfoma. La biopsia de la amígdala lingual y las adenopatías mesentéricas fueron compatibles con enfermedad de Whipple, diagnóstico que se confirmó mediante reacción en cadena de la polimerasa en sangre
