OBJETIVO: Relatar dois casos de tricotilomania, um transtorno psiquiátrico ainda subdiagnosticado e que pode estar associado a problemas sociais e clínicos relevantes. Pretende-se destacar as características clínicas, discutindo as implicações do diagnóstico precoce para a evolução dos pacientes. DESCRIÇÃO do CASO: Uma adolescente com diagnóstico de tricotilomania pura e outra menina cujo quadro estava associado ao transtorno obsessivo-compulsivo. Embora com o tratamento, a evolução de ambas tenha sido favorável, houve demora significativa para estabelecer o diagnóstico e encaminhá-las a um serviço de saúde mental, com prejuízos escolares e sociais. COMENTÁRIOS: A tricotilomania difere dos quadros benignos e transitórios de arrancar cabelos observados nos primeiros anos de vida e ainda é subdiagnosticada. A vergonha dos sintomas observada nos portadores e o desconhecimento por parte dos profissionais de saúde contribuem para essa situação. O quadro pode ser grave, particularmente se acompanhado de tricofagia. Profissionais da saúde precisam identificar o transtorno precocemente e encaminhar as crianças para tratamento especializado antes das possíveis complicações clínicas e repercussões psicossociais

Keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT is benign, featuring controversies in diagnosis and treatment. It occurs mainly in the region of the mandibular angle, which may or may not be related to a tooth and whose importance is due to its aggressive behavior and high recurrence rate. The causes of high rates of relapse observed in this lesion are dependent on factors such as age, location and size of lesion, gender, type of treatment and histological variant. The thin capsule and friable connective tissue of KCOT may favor the retention of epithelial debris responsible for the high proliferative capacity of this clinical entity. Due to the aggressiveness with its recurrence this paper aims to conduct a literature review addressing clinical and imaging aspects, composes the histopathological diagnosis of KCOT.

Hypothyroidism is one of the most frequent endocrinopathies in dogs, affecting preferentially middle-aged, pure breed animals. Associated clinical signs are variable and often non-specific, including metabolic, dermatological or cardiovascular alterations. The main laboratorial findings are non-regenerative anemia and hypercholesterolemia. Hyponatremia and an increase in alanine transferase and alkaline phosphatase activities can also be observed with lower frequency. There are specific diagnostic tests that can be used to help diagnose hypothyroidism, and those should be interpreted in the light of the animal´s clinical symptoms. The levels of thyroxine stimulating hormone (TSH) and both free and total thyroxine (T4) are the most used hormonal tests. It is important to differentiate between hypothyroidism and the euthyroid sick syndrome, a condition that may be caused by severe diseases such as hyperadrenocorticism and lead to decreased TSH and T4 levels as well. Levothyroxine sodium is the standard treatment. The main objective of this paper is to review hypothyroidism in dogs, since this is a very common disease in small animal clinics, but with difficult diagnosis.
