Abstract:
We studied a case of blue nevus of the maxillary sinus by immunocytochemical and electron microscopic techniques. Blue nevus has not been reported previously to occur in the maxillary sinus. The melanocytic nature of this lesion was established based upon the ultrastructural demonstration of pre- and melanosomes, and the presence of S100 protein immunoreactivity in the pigmented cells. Histogenetic aspects of the blue nevus of the maxillary sinus are discussed and an origin in multipotential undifferentiated cells is postulated.

Sinus Node Arrhythmias
Sinus Bradycardia: Originating from the sinoatrial (SA) node, sinus bradycardia involves slower impulses, resulting in a heart rate of less than 60 beats per minute (bpm). Causes include sleep, vagal stimulation, beta-blockers, hypothyroidism,...
Electron Carriers
Over the many stages of cellular respiration, glucose breaks down into carbon dioxide and water. Electron carriers pick up electrons lost by glucose in these reactions, temporarily storing and releasing them into the electron...
Electron Affinity
Electron Behavior
Electrons are negatively charged subatomic particles that are attracted to an orbit around the positively-charged nucleus of an atom. They reside in locations that are associated with energy levels called shells and are further organized into sub-shells and orbitals within each shell.
Electrons Orbit the Nucleus
Electrons are found in specific locations outside of the nucleus. The shell in which an electron resides indicates the general energy level of the electron: those closer to the...
