Papillary Dermis

7.0K
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

6.3K
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...

Classification of Epithelial Tissues: Stratified Epithelium

15.9K
Stratified epithelium consists of several stacked layers of cells. They provide the durability to withstand constant physical and chemical attacks. Stratified epithelium is named after the shape of the most apical layer of cells. Stratified squamous epithelium is the most common type found in the human body. In this tissue, the apical cells are squamous, whereas the basal layer contains either columnar or cuboidal cells. The basal cells divide to form new daughter cells, which gradually become...

Skin Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

6.6K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Dermatopathology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Trichofolliculomas are benign hair follicle hamartomas, previously classified as tumors.
  • Typically, they appear as solitary lesions with vellus hair tufts.
  • Multiple trichofolliculomas are an uncommon presentation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a rare case of multiple facial trichofolliculomas.
  • To highlight the clinical mimicry of multiple trichoepitheliomas.
  • To emphasize the histopathological features of trichofolliculomas.

Main Methods:

  • Case report.
  • Clinical examination.
  • Histopathological analysis.

Main Results:

  • The patient presented with multiple facial lesions.
  • Clinically, the lesions mimicked multiple trichoepitheliomas.
  • Histopathology revealed a dermal keratin cyst with radiating hair follicles, characteristic of trichofolliculoma.

Conclusions:

  • Multiple trichofolliculomas can occur rarely on the face.
  • Accurate histopathological examination is crucial for differentiating trichofolliculomas from other neoplasms.
  • This case underscores the importance of considering rare presentations in dermatological diagnosis.
