Skin Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...
Abnormal Proliferation02:23

Abnormal Proliferation

Under normal conditions, most adult cells remain in a non-proliferative state unless stimulated by internal or external factors to replace lost cells. Abnormal cell proliferation is a condition in which the cell's growth exceeds and is uncoordinated with normal cells. In such situations, cell division persists in the same excessive manner even after cessation of the stimuli, leading to persistent tumors. The tumor arises from the damaged cells that replicate to pass the damage to the daughter...

Atypical Pneumonia01:14

Atypical Pneumonia

Atypical pneumonia, often caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae, is a form of pulmonary infection that differs from the classical presentation of bacterial pneumonia in both its cause and clinical symptoms. Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a pleomorphic bacterium notable for its lack of a rigid cell wall. This structural characteristic imparts resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics and significantly influences the bacterium’s behavior within the human host.Other pathogens responsible for the disease include...
Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology01:17

Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology

Gastritis is marked by disruption of the mucosal barrier that usually protects the stomach tissue from digestive juices and manifests in acute and chronic forms.
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...
Smallpox01:24

Smallpox

Smallpox is a severe contagious disease caused by the Variola major virus, a double-stranded DNA member of the Poxviridae family.Variola major transmission occurs primarily via inhalation of virus-laden droplets or direct contact with infectious scabs. The incubation period averages approximately seven days, although it may range from 7 to 17 days depending on the inoculum and host factors.Clinically, the prodromal phase is marked by an abrupt onset of high fever, malaise, headache, and myalgia.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Rare Diseases
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Malignant atrophic papulosis (MAP) is an exceedingly rare systemic vascular disease.
  • Few cases of MAP have been documented in Black and Asian populations.
  • The condition is characterized by recurrent skin lesions and potential systemic complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a case of Malignant atrophic papulosis (MAP) in a non-Caucasian individual.
  • To highlight the clinical presentation and histopathological confirmation of MAP.
  • To contribute to the limited literature on MAP in diverse ethnic groups.

Main Methods:

  • Clinical examination of a 38-year-old male patient presenting with skin lesions.
  • Histopathological analysis of skin biopsy specimens.
  • Review of existing literature on Malignant atrophic papulosis.

Main Results:

  • The patient exhibited typical cutaneous lesions consistent with MAP.
  • Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of Malignant atrophic papulosis.
  • The case represents one of the few reported instances of MAP in a Black or Asian individual.

Conclusions:

  • This case underscores that Malignant atrophic papulosis can occur in individuals of Black or Asian descent.
  • Histopathological confirmation is crucial for diagnosing MAP.
  • Further research is needed to understand the prevalence and presentation of MAP across different ethnicities.
