Clinical Applications of Epidermal Stem Cells01:19

Clinical Applications of Epidermal Stem Cells

Epidermal stem cells (EpiSCs) are mainly located at the basal layer of the epidermis. These cells repair minor injuries of the skin and replace dead skin cells. However, EpiSCs’ cannot heal severe wounds such as major burns or those from diabetes or hereditary disorders. In such cases, culturing the epidermal stem cells from the patient is possible and has yielded successful treatment options, such as laboratory-grown skin grafts. These grafts are synthesized using a patient’s own EpiSCs...
Appendicitis01:19

Appendicitis

Appendicitis is an acute inflammatory condition of the vermiform appendix, most commonly caused by obstruction of its lumen. The appendix is a narrow, blind-ended pouch that extends from the cecum, making it particularly prone to obstruction. Causes include fecaliths, lymphoid hyperplasia (often after viral infections), parasites, tumors, or foreign bodies. This obstruction initiates a cascade of pathological changes.Luminal Obstruction and Early InflammationAfter obstruction, normal mucosal...
Gallbladder01:17

Gallbladder

The gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ that plays a crucial role in our digestive system. Measuring about 10 cm in length, it is comparable in size to a kiwi fruit and is located in a hollow area on the lower surface of the liver. The gallbladder's primary function is to store and concentrate bile, a fluid produced by the liver that aids in digestion.
The gallbladder's anatomy consists of three regions: the fundus, body, and neck. Extending from the neck, the cystic duct joins the common...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Splenic epidermoid cysts are rare, presenting as painless abdominal masses. Surgical removal, often requiring splenectomy, is necessary for diagnosis and treatment of these splenic lesions.

Related Experiment Videos

Area of Science:

  • Surgical pathology
  • Abdominal imaging
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Splenic epidermoid cysts are uncommon benign neoplastic cysts of the spleen.
  • They can present as asymptomatic abdominal masses, leading to delayed diagnosis.

Observation:

  • A young male presented with a painless abdominal lump.
  • Imaging revealed a large cystic lesion in the spleen of unknown origin.

Findings:

  • Laparotomy identified a large cyst originating from the superior pole of the spleen.
  • Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of splenic epidermoid cyst, necessitating splenectomy.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering rare splenic pathologies in the differential diagnosis of abdominal masses.
  • Understanding the aetiopathology and treatment options for splenic cysts is crucial for effective patient management.
