Resumo: This paper analysed twelve articles about fungating wounds. It examined the definitions, characteristics and the care. The objective was to identify the aspects of these wounds in the literature. Fungating wounds are the infiltration of malignant cells through the epitelial tissue,changing epidermal integrity. These wounds have their own characteristics such as hemorrhage, smell, infection and exudate. The topic treatment consists on gel metronidazole, calcium alginate, actived charcoal and hydrogel. However, generally, this topic treatment doesn't lead to the healing of the wound. It just controls the symptoms, since the cicatrization depends on the primary cancer. The aim of the treatment is to control the symptoms in order to improve the patient's quality of life.

O objetivo foi identificar na literatura quais aspectos estão sendo abordados sobre estas lesões, decorrentes da infiltração de células malignas através do epitélio alterando a integridade epidérmica. Essas feridas possuem características próprias, que são a hemorragia, o odor, infecção e exudato. Os apósitos utilizados no tratamento tópico incluem o metronidazol gel, alginato de cálcio, carvão ativado e hidrogel. Constatamos que, muitas vezes, o tratamento não leva à cicatrização da ferida, uma vez que esta depende do câncer primário. Porém, a cicatrização não é a principal meta do cuidado, mas o controle dos sintomas, visando a uma melhor qualidade de vida aos portadores destas lesões.INCA2002-09-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionRevisão de literaturaapplication/pdfhttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/article/view/221710.32635/2176-9745.RBC.2002v48n3.2217Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; Vol. 48 No. 3 (2002): July/Aug./Sept.; 411-417Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; Vol. 48 Núm. 3 (2002): jul./ago./sept.; 411-417Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; v. 48 n. 3 (2002): jul./ago./set.; 411-4172176-9745reponame:Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia (Online)instname:Instituto Nacional de Câncer José Alencar Gomes da Silva (INCA)instacron:INCAporhttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/article/view/2217/1378Poletti, Nadia Antomia Aparecida Caliri, Maria Helena Larcher Simão, Cléa D Soares Rodrigues Juliani, Karen Bárbara Tácito, Vivian Ellen info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2021-11-29T20:37:45Zoai:rbc.inca.gov.br:article/2217Revistahttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revistaPUBhttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/oairbc@inca.gov.br0034-71162176-9745opendoar:2021-11-29T20:37:45Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia (Online) - Instituto Nacional de Câncer José Alencar Gomes da Silva (INCA)false
