Abnormal Proliferation02:23

Abnormal Proliferation

5.4K
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...

Proliferative Phase01:20

Proliferative Phase

1.7K
The proliferative phase typically occurs after menstruation and lasts between 6 to 13 days in a standard 28-day cycle. This phase involves the reconstruction of the endometrium, guided by estrogen produced by the developing ovarian follicle.
Notably, the stratum basale, the basal layer of the endometrium, including the basal parts of the uterine glands, remains unaffected by menstruation. Stem cells in this layer undergo mitosis, regenerating the stratum functionalis and thickening the...

Renewal of Skin Epidermal Stem Cells

3.2K
The skin is divided into epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis, the skin's outermost, middle, and inner layers. The human epidermal layer regularly undergoes renewal, where old, dead cells are replaced by new cells. Epidermal stem cells or EpiSCs divide and differentiate to restore the lost cells. For the renewal process, some EpiSCs continuously self-renew. In contrast, few others differentiate into transit-amplifying cells, which later form prickle or spinous cells, followed by granular...

Skin Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

6.5K
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...

Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer

6.5K
Rous Sarcoma virus or RSV was discovered by F. Peyton Rous in the year 1911 as a filterable transmissible agent that could cause tumors in chickens. He won a Nobel Prize for this discovery in 1966. His experiments clearly demonstrated that some cancers could be caused by infectious agents and led to the discovery of many more cancer-causing viruses in animals as well as humans.
RSV is a retrovirus that contains two copies of a plus-strand  RNA genome. Its genome consists of four main open...

Summary

Proliferative verrucous leukoplakia (PVL) is a rare oral condition with aggressive behavior and a high malignant transformation rate. Early diagnosis and management are crucial due to its poor prognosis and unclear etiology.

Area of Science:

  • Oral Medicine
  • Dermatology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Proliferative verrucous leukoplakia (PVL) is a rare oral leukoplakia subtype.
  • PVL exhibits aggressive behavior, high recurrence, and malignant transformation rates exceeding 70%.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the clinical and histopathological features of PVL.
  • To discuss current diagnostic and management strategies for PVL.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of case series and studies on PVL.
  • Analysis of clinical presentation, histopathology, and treatment outcomes.

Main Results:

  • PVL predominantly affects elderly women, often on the buccal mucosa and tongue.
  • Lesions progress from hyperkeratotic plaques to multifocal, exophytic growths.
  • Tobacco use shows no significant influence on PVL appearance or progression.

Conclusions:

  • PVL has a poor prognosis, with unclear etiology and diagnostic/management challenges.
  • Further research is needed to establish consensus criteria for PVL diagnosis and treatment.
