Clinical Applications of Epidermal Stem Cells

Clinical Applications of Epidermal Stem Cells

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...

Skin Cancer

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...

Acne Infection

Acne 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...

Area of Science:

Oral pathology
Pediatric surgery

Background:

Congenital epulis (CE), also known as granular cell epulis or Neumann's tumor, is a rare benign oral tumor in newborns.
Typically presenting as a single mass on the upper alveolar ridge, CE can impede infant respiration and feeding.

Observation:

This case presents a rare instance of two congenital epulides originating from both the maxillary and mandibular alveoli in a day-old female infant.
The tumors were surgically excised shortly after birth.

Findings:

Histopathological examination revealed the tumor cells stained negative for S100 protein, aiding in differentiation from other granular cell tumors.
The surgical removal of both epulides was successful.

Implications:

This case underscores the importance of prompt diagnosis and surgical management of congenital epulis.
Successful excision facilitated early breastfeeding, demonstrating a positive outcome for the infant's nutrition and development.
