Porokeratosis (Report of five Cases)
Abstract:
Five cases of porokeratosis are reported. Two of these were of the classical mibelli type,in one case only one segment of the limb was involved in a linear fashion, in the fourth case a linear lesion involved the entire left side of the body, and the fifth case was of the disseminated superficial type. Typical histopathological features were observed in porokeratosis of Mibelli and also in the case of disseminated superficial type. In one case short contact dithranol and isotretinoic acid treatment was successful.

Papillary 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...
Clinical Applications of Epidermal Stem Cells
Cells of the Epidermis
The cells in all these layers except the stratum basale are called keratinocytes, a type of cell that manufactures and stores the protein keratin. The keratinocytes in the stratum corneum are dead and regularly slough away, being replaced by cells from...
