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.

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...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pediatric Dermatology
  • Dermatopathology

Background:

  • Lichen sclerosus is an uncommon inflammatory dermatosis primarily affecting the urogenital region.
  • Extragenital lichen sclerosus is rare, presenting as small, rounded, pearly white macules or papules.
  • Coexistence of lichen sclerosus and scleroderma has been documented, particularly in extragenital cases.

Observation:

  • This report details a pediatric case of lichen sclerosus.
  • The case involves the association of lichen sclerosus with scleroderma.
  • Extragenital lesions were observed, characterized by their distinct morphology.

Findings:

  • The study highlights a pediatric case of lichen sclerosus co-occurring with scleroderma.
  • Extragenital involvement of lichen sclerosus was noted.
  • Dermoscopy proved crucial in diagnosing this combined condition.

Implications:

  • Early and accurate diagnosis of lichen sclerosus and associated conditions in children is vital.
  • Dermoscopy offers a valuable non-invasive tool for diagnosing challenging dermatoses.
  • Understanding the association between lichen sclerosus and scleroderma can improve patient management.
