La llamada genéricamente «enfermedad de Peyronie¼ es un diagnóstico que incluye los estados de fibrosis peneana grave que comprometen la túnica albugínea, con o sin compromiso del tejido intracavernoso, pero cuyo concepto se queda corto para abarcar la amplia gama de otros tipos de fibrosis peneana que no afectan a dicha túnica, relacionados o no con trauma La llamada genéricamente «enfermedad de Peyronie¼ es un diagnóstico que incluye los estados de fibrosis peneana grave que comprometen la túnica albugínea, con o sin compromiso del tejido intracavernoso, pero cuyo concepto se queda corto para abarcar la amplia gama de otros tipos de fibrosis peneana que no afectan a dicha túnica, relacionados o no con trauma

The generically called "Peyronie's disease" is a diagnosis that includes states of severe penile fibrosis involving the albugineous tunic, with or without intracavernous tissue involvement, but whose concept falls short of covering the wide range of other types of penile fibrosis that do not affect that tunic, The generically called "Peyronie's disease" is a diagnosis that includes states of severe penile fibrosis involving the albuginea tunic, with or without intracavernous tissue involvement, but whose concept falls short of covering the wide range of other types of penile fibrosis that do not affect that tunic, whether or not related to trauma.

Identification of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis in adrenal glands biopsies of two patients with paracoccidioidomycosis and adrenal insufficiency / Identificação do Paracoccidioides brasiliensis nas amostras de glândulas adrenais de dois doentes com paracoccidioidomicose e insuficiência adrenal

The authors report two cases of adrenal insufficiency secondary to infiltration of the adrenal glands by Paracoccidioides brasiliensis. The first patient had been treated for a chronic multifocal form of paracoccidiodomycosis 11 years ago. The diagnosis of the mycosis was done simultaneous with that of the adrenal insufficiency in the second patient. In both patients the diagnosis was done by direct visualization of fungus in adrenal biopsies. They were treated with hormonal supplements and itraconazol by 12 and six months, without relapses during the follow-up period.

Os autores apresentam dois casos de insuficiência supra-renal secundária à infiltração das adrenais pelo Paracoccidioides brasiliensis. O primeiro paciente tinha sido tratado de paracoccidioidomicose crônica multifocal 11 anos atrás. No segundo paciente, o diagnóstico da micose foi feito de forma simultânea com o da insuficiência adrenal. Em ambos os pacientes, o diagnóstico foi feito pela visualização direta do fungo nas biopsias adrenais. Eles foram tratados com suplementos hormonais com itraconazol por seis a 12 meses, sem recaídas durante o período de acompanhamento.
