Resumo

Resumo: A lipodermatoesclerose é uma paniculite que se caracteriza por endurecimento e hiperpigmentação da pele envolvendo as panturrilhas, com a aparência de “garrafa de champanhe invertida”. Muitas abordagens terapêuticas têm sido recomendadas, mas o uso de oxandrolona para essa finalidade foi pouco estudado até o momento. Relatamos um caso de lipodermatoesclerose aguda em uma mulher de 61 anos, com história prévia de tratamento cirúrgico para insuficiência venosa de membros inferiores. A paciente apresentava edema e lesões dolorosas e eritematosas com infiltração difusa, que acometiam principalmente a face posterior da panturrilha esquerda. Foi tratada inicialmente com estanozolol e pentoxifilina, com boa resposta. Devido à indisponibilidade do estanozolol, iniciou-se o uso de oxandrolona. Esse tratamento foi bem tolerado, resultando em redução significativa do edema, do eritema e da infiltração presentes nos membros inferiores, além de alívio da dor. A oxandrolona pode representar uma opção útil e segura no tratamento da lipodermatoesclerose aguda.

Abstract

Abstract: Lipodermatosclerosis is a panniculitis characterized by hardening and hyperpigmentation of the skin involving the calves with an “inverted champagne bottle” appearance. Many therapeutic approaches have been recommended, but the use of oxandrolone for this purpose has been studied very little to date. We report a case of acute lipodermatosclerosis in a 61-year-old woman with a previous history of surgical treatment for venous insufficiency of the lower limbs. The patient presented with edema and painful, erythematous lesions with diffuse infiltration, mainly affecting the posterior aspect of the left calf. She was initially treated with stanozolol and pentoxifylline, with good response. Due to unavailability of stanozolol, she was put on oxandrolone. This treatment was well tolerated, reduced the intensity of edema, erythema, and infiltration in the lower limbs, effectively leading to pain relief. Oxandrolone may be a useful and safe treatment for patients with acute lipodermatosclerosis.
