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...

The Retinoblastoma Gene

The Retinoblastoma Gene

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,...

Basal Lamina are the Specialized Form of ECM

Basal Lamina are the Specialized Form of ECM

The basal lamina is a thin extracellular layer that lies underneath the cells and separates them from other tissues. The three layers of the basal lamina are lamina lucida, lamina densa and lamina reticularis. The basal lamina, a mixture of glycoproteins and collagen, provides an attachment site for the epithelium, separating it from underlying connective tissue. The framework of basal lamina has other essential proteins such as laminins mesh, perlecan, entactin, and type IV collagen.

Multipotency and Niche of Bulge Stem Cell

Multipotency and Niche of Bulge Stem Cell

A hair follicle or HF is a small part of the skin that produces the hair shaft. Paul Gerson Unna was the first to observe a bulge in the human hair follicle's outer root sheath (ORS). The bulge is present between the sebaceous gland and the arrector pili muscle and is the niche for hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs). The bulge is also a niche for melanocyte stem cells, and their loss results in graying of hair. The HFSCs express Sox9 and Lhx2, which help them maintain stemness and prevent...

Area of Science:

Otorhinolaryngology
Head and Neck Surgery
Pathology

Background:

Basal cell adenocarcinoma (BCA) is a rare salivary gland neoplasm.
Laryngeal involvement by BCA is exceptionally uncommon.
The subglottis is a previously unreported laryngeal subsite for this tumor.

Observation:

An 89-year-old female presented with a subglottic mass.
Histopathological examination confirmed basal cell adenocarcinoma.
The patient underwent surgical management for the laryngeal neoplasm.

Findings:

The subglottic basal cell adenocarcinoma was successfully excised.
The patient achieved a disease-free status 29 months post-surgery.
This represents the first reported case of subglottic basal cell adenocarcinoma.

Implications:

Highlights the importance of considering rare tumors in laryngeal diagnostics.
Demonstrates the efficacy of surgical intervention for subglottic BCA.
Adds to the understanding of BCA presentation and management in unusual locations.
