Papillary Dermis01:11

Papillary Dermis

5.8K
Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
Papillary Layer
The papillary layer is made of loose, areolar connective tissue, which means the collagen...

Skin Diseases and Disorders

5.4K
Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...

Skin Cancer

5.2K
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...

Reticular Dermis01:15

Reticular Dermis

4.6K
The papillary and reticular dermis are the two layers of the dermis. They are made of connective tissue with fibers of collagen extending from one to the other, making the border between the two somewhat indistinct. The dermal papillae extending into the epidermis belong to the papillary layer, whereas the dense collagen fiber bundles below belong to the reticular layer.
Reticular Layer
Underlying the papillary layer is the much thicker reticular layer, composed of dense, irregular connective...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology and Medical Case Reports

Background:

  • Cutis verticis gyrata (CVG) is a rare condition characterized by the excessive thickening and folding of the scalp skin.
  • CVG can be classified as primary (essential or nonessential) or secondary to other conditions.

Observation:

  • This report presents a rare case of primary essential cutis verticis gyrata.
  • The patient is a 28-year-old male exhibiting only the characteristic scalp skin folding without any other associated comorbidities.

Findings:

  • The case aligns with the definition of primary essential cutis verticis gyrata, where the prominent feature is the scalp's folded appearance resembling cerebral gyri.
  • No underlying systemic diseases or syndromes were identified in the patient.

Implications:

  • This case contributes to the understanding of the rare presentation of primary essential cutis verticis gyrata.
  • Highlights the importance of recognizing isolated scalp changes as a distinct clinical entity.
