Resumo: AIMS: To present a case of dermatitis herpetiformis, a papulovesicular rash due to deposits of immunoglobulin A in the papillary dermis. This is a common extraintestinal manifestation of celiac disease, although rare in childhood. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 10-year-old girl was diagnosed with celiac disease, suspected only due to the occurrence of typical lesions of dermatitis herpetiformis. Intestinal biopsy demonstrated total atrophy of duodenal villi in spite of the lack of clinical digestive manifestations. Under a gluten-free diet the patient presented favorable evolution, with regression of cutaneous lesions. CONCLUSIONS: Dermatitis herpetiformis is a common manifestation of celiac disease, but is not frequent in infants. Therefore, is very important to investigate any child that presents a chronic papulovesicular cutaneous eruption non-responsive to usual treatments in order to perform a precocious diagnosis of celiac disease, avoiding its serious repercussions.

Esta é uma manifestação extraintestinal comum da doença celíaca, embora rara na infância. RELATO DE CASO: Uma paciente com 10 anos de idade foi diagnosticada com doença celíaca, cuja suspeita surgiu unicamente em decorrência de lesões típicas de dermatite herpetiforme. A biópsia intestinal demonstrou atrofia total das vilosidades duodenais, apesar da ausência de manifestações clínicas digestivas. Com dieta livre de glúten a paciente apresentou evolução favorável, com regressão das lesões cutâneas. CONCLUSÕES: A dermatite herpetiforme é uma manifestação comum da doença celíaca que, no entanto, é infrequente na infância. Por isso, é fundamental alto grau de suspeição em qualquer criança que apresentar uma erupção cutânea papulovesicular crônica não responsiva a medidas simples, a fim de realizar o diagnóstico precoce da doença celíaca, evitando suas graves repercussões.Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2014-01-18info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionRelato de caso raro ou de especial interesseapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/scientiamedica/article/view/1980-6108.2013.4.1546810.15448/1980-6108.2013.4.15468Scientia Medica; Vol. 23 No. 4 (2013); 250-254Scientia Medica; v. 23 n. 4 (2013); 250-2541980-61081806-556210.15448/1980-6108.2013.4reponame:Scientia Medica (Porto Alegre.
