Summary
A rare giant hidroacanthoma simplex lesion on the left lumbar area was successfully treated with surgical excision. This case highlights the effective management of this uncommon skin tumor.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Surgical Oncology
Background:
- Hidroacanthoma simplex is a rare benign adnexal tumor.
- Giant lesions are exceptionally uncommon, presenting unique clinical challenges.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report a case of giant hidroacanthoma simplex.
- To describe the successful surgical management of this rare presentation.
Main Methods:
- A case of hidroacanthoma simplex with a giant lesion was identified.
- The lesion was located on the left lumbar region.
- Treatment involved complete surgical excision.
Main Results:
- The giant hidroacanthoma simplex lesion was completely removed via surgery.
- The patient tolerated the procedure well, with no immediate complications reported.
Conclusions:
- Surgical excision is an effective treatment for giant hidroacanthoma simplex.

Cirrhosis is a chronic, irreversible liver disease characterized by the widespread replacement of healthy liver tissue with fibrotic scar tissue and the formation of regenerative nodules.Etiology of cirrhosisCirrhosis results from sustained liver injury that triggers progressive fibrosis and structural remodeling. The underlying causes are diverse, encompassing common and less frequent clinical conditions. Regardless of the origin, all causes lead to chronic inflammation, hepatocyte loss, and...

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.

01:27Acne Infection
Acne is a multifactorial skin condition primarily affecting adolescents and young adults, with a global prevalence estimated to exceed 75% in this demographic. The condition is characterized by the formation of comedones (blackheads and whiteheads), papules, pustules, nodules, and, in severe cases, cysts, particularly in areas rich in sebaceous glands such as the face, neck, chest, and back. The pathogenesis involves increased sebum production, follicular hyperkeratinization, colonization by...
01:06Multipotency 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...
