Abstract Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia is a rare and benign vascular tumor whose etiology remains uncertain. It clinically presents itself by angiomatous papules or nodules located on the head and neck. Many controversies in the literature are found in relation to angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia and Kimura's disease - its main differential diagnosis - due to their clinical and histopathological similarities. However, currently, most studies agree that they are distinct diseases. The present case illustrates a characteristic description of angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia and also highlights the main differences with Kimura's disease.

Shiitake Dermatitis is a skin eruption that resembles whiplash marks and occurs after consumption of raw shiitake mushrooms. It is caused by a toxic reaction to lentinan, a thermolabil polysaccharide which decomposes upon heating. We report the second case of this dermatitis in Brazil. A 25-year-old man presented with linearly arranged erythematous, pruritic papules on the trunk and limbs, after ingestion of a salad containing raw shiitake mushrooms. The eruption was self-limited, resolving within 10 days of onset. The recognition of this entity gains importance due to the increased consumption of shiitake mushrooms in occidental countries.

Investigou-se a composição centesimal e o valor energético de 16 pratos tradicionais de Goiás, cujas receitas foram padronizadas conforme habitualmente preparados na região. Determinou-se a composição centesimal por análise direta e estimou-se a composição química por meio de tabelas de composição de alimentos (análise indireta). Constatou-se valores energéticos acima de 100kcal/100g e baixos teores de fibra alimentar em todos os alimentos processados analisados (exceto a guariroba ao molho e o pequi refogado), bem como conteúdos significativos de proteína (6,3 a 10,0%) e lipídios (6,5 a 18,8%) nos pratos doces estudados. As diferenças entre os valores obtidos por análise direta e por análise indireta variaram de 0,4 a 154,4%. Os resultados deste estudo reforçam a necessidade de análise direta da composição química de alimentos processados, sobretudo aqueles tipicamente regionais, visando uma avaliação mais confiável do consumo alimentar.

A study of chemical composition of sixteen traditional standardized dishes from Goiás, Brazil, was conducted, according to the way they are usually prepared in the region. The chemical composition was determined by direct analysis and estimated by tables of food composition (indirect analysis). Energy values was verified above 100kcal/100g and low concentrations of alimentary fiber in all of the processed foods (except for "guariroba ao molho" and "pequi refogado"), as well as significant contents of protein (6.3 to 10.0%) and lipids (6.5 to 18.8%) in the sweet dishes studied. The differences among the values obtained by direct analysis and by indirect analysis were between 0.4 to 154.4%. The results of this study reinforce the need of direct analysis of the chemical composition of processed foods, above all those typically regional, to obtain more reliable evaluation of the alimentary consumption.
