Resumen

PENA, Gil Patrus Mundim. O relato de caso como situação gnosiológica: reflexões sobre a prática diagnóstica em patologia a partir de um caso de Abetalipoproteinemia. Rev. Bras. Educ. Med. [online]. 2010, vol.34, n.04, pp.622-626. ISSN 1981-5271.

This article draws on a rare case of abetalipoproteinemia, diagnosed from the pathological findings of a jejunal biopsy, as the point of departure for reflecting on practice in diagnostic pathology. Rather than present a case and comment on its content, as usually happens in case reports, the case, as object of study, can be used as material for reflection on practice. The case is the mediating object of reflection on the practice, allowing an unveiling of reality in which medical practice is a part.

Palabras clave : Abetalipoproteinemia; Case Report; Pathological Diagnosis.
