Multipotency and Niche of Bulge Stem Cell

Multipotency and Niche of Bulge Stem Cell

A hair follicle or HF is a small part of the skin that produces the hair shaft. Paul Gerson Unna was the first to observe a bulge in the human hair follicle's outer root sheath (ORS). The bulge is present between the sebaceous gland and the arrector pili muscle and is the niche for hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs). The bulge is also a niche for melanocyte stem cells, and their loss results in graying of hair. The HFSCs express Sox9 and Lhx2, which help them maintain stemness and prevent...

Lampbrush Chromosomes

Lampbrush Chromosomes

In 1882, Flemming observed lampbrush chromosomes (LBC) in salamander eggs. Later in 1892, Rückert observed LBCs in shark egg cells and coined the term "lampbrush chromosomes" because they looked like brushes used to clean kerosene lamps.
LBCs are made up of two pairs of conjugating homologous chromatids. Each chromatid consists of alternatively positioned regions of condensed-inactive chromatin and loosely placed-active side loops, which can be contracted and extended. The loops resemble the...

Secondary Lymphoid Organs

Secondary Lymphoid Organs

Secondary organs, including lymph nodes, the spleen, and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT), work harmoniously to protect us from disease and infection.
The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...

Area of Science:

Dermatology
Pathology
Radiology

Background:

Coexistence of ordinary lipoma and spindle cell lipoma is infrequently reported.
Lipomas are benign adipose tissue tumors, with distinct subtypes like ordinary and spindle cell lipoma.

Observation:

A case of neighboring, large spindle cell lipoma and ordinary lipoma in the posterior neck is presented.
Clinical, radiologic, and histologic features were meticulously documented with illustrative figures.

Findings:

Complete surgical excision confirmed the distinct diagnoses of both lipoma types.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) proved highly effective in differentiating the nature of these adjacent lipomatous tumors.

Implications:

This case suggests that ordinary and spindle cell lipomas can arise coincidentally in close proximity.
The findings underscore the diagnostic utility of MRI for characterizing lipomatous lesions.
Further research into the pathogenesis of coexisting lipomas may be warranted.
