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...

The Retinoblastoma Gene

3.7K
Tumor suppressor genes are normal genes that can slow down cell division, repair DNA mistakes, or program the cells for apoptosis in case of irreparable damage. Hence, they play an essential role in preventing the proliferation of damaged cells.
The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...

Abnormal Proliferation

4.0K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pediatric Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Pilomatrixoma is a benign skin appendage tumor.
  • Malignant transformation is rare but possible.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To increase awareness of pilomatrixoma in differential diagnosis.
  • To prevent unnecessary interventions and treatments by considering this diagnosis.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 8 pediatric pilomatrixoma cases.
  • Data collected from January 2006 to December 2012.
  • Surgical excision of all identified lesions.

Main Results:

  • Eight pediatric patients (4 male, 4 female) aged 2-18 years were analyzed.
  • Eleven lesions were excised, with common locations including upper extremities and cervical region.
  • No familial features, recurrence, or malignant disease observed post-excision.

Conclusions:

  • Pilomatrixoma is a benign tumor with potential for atypical presentations.
  • Definitive diagnosis relies on histopathological examination.
  • Early consideration in differential diagnosis is crucial.
