Clinical Applications of Epidermal Stem Cells

2.4K
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...

Appendicitis01:19

Appendicitis

29
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...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Surgical Pathology
  • Abdominal Imaging

Background:

  • Splenic epidermoid cysts are uncommon, typically asymptomatic, but can present with abdominal pain in children.
  • Diagnosis often relies on imaging and histopathology.

Observation:

  • A 12-year-old female presented with abdominal pain and a palpable mass.
  • Imaging revealed a large splenic cyst with a septum.
  • Physical examination showed tenderness in the left hypochondrium and a raised left hemidiaphragm on chest X-ray.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination of the resected cyst wall confirmed it as an epidermoid cyst, characterized by fibrous tissue and stratified squamous epithelium.
  • Open total splenectomy was performed due to the cyst's size and location.

Implications:

  • This case supports total splenectomy for symptomatic pediatric splenic epidermoid cysts, despite trends towards spleen-preserving procedures.
  • Accurate histopathological examination is crucial for definitive diagnosis of splenic cysts.
