Skin Diseases and Disorders

6.0K
Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...

Tissue Membranes01:27

Tissue Membranes

10.5K
A tissue membrane is a thin layer of cells that covers the outside of the body, the organs, internal passageways that lead to the exterior of the body, and the lining of the moveable joint cavities. There are two basic types of tissue membranes— connective tissue and epithelial membranes.
Connective Tissue Membranes
The connective tissue membrane is formed solely from connective tissue. These membranes encapsulate organs, such as the kidneys, and line our movable joints. A synovial...

Skin Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

6.4K
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...

Oogenesis02:07

Oogenesis

70.8K
In human women, oogenesis produces one mature egg cell or ovum for every precursor cell that enters meiosis. This process differs in two unique ways from the equivalent procedure of spermatogenesis in males. First, meiotic divisions during oogenesis are asymmetric, meaning that a large oocyte (containing most of the cytoplasm) and minor polar body are produced as a result of meiosis I, and again following meiosis II. Since only oocytes will go on to form embryos if fertilized, this unequal...

Disorders of the Female Reproductive System01:24

Disorders of the Female Reproductive System

4.7K
The female reproductive system can be affected by several disorders, including Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS), Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), endometriosis, and various forms of cancer. PMS and PMDD are cyclical conditions that cause physical and emotional distress, with symptoms that include edema, mood swings, and food cravings. PMDD is a more severe form of PMS characterized by increased symptom severity that peaks during the luteal phase and tends to improve or resolve shortly after...

Metastasis02:30

Metastasis

6.7K
Metastasis is the spread of cancer cells from the original site to distant locations in the body. Cancer cells can spread via blood vessels (hematogenous) as well as lymph vessels in the body.
Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Cutaneous endometriosis is a rare condition where endometrial tissue grows on the skin, often in surgical scars. This case highlights monthly painful nodules in a hysterectomy scar, successfully treated with excision.

    Area of Science:

    • Gynecology
    • Surgical Pathology
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Cutaneous endometriosis is an uncommon manifestation of endometriosis.
    • It can occur following gynecological or abdominal surgeries, particularly those involving the uterus.

    Observation:

    • A case of cutaneous endometriosis developed in an abdominal hysterectomy scar 6 months post-operation.
    • The patient presented with a monthly painful nodule at the scar site.

    Findings:

    • Histopathological examination revealed glandular structures characteristic of endometriosis.
    • The glandular structures were lined by a single layer of columnar cells.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering cutaneous endometriosis in patients with scar nodules after hysterectomy.
    • Surgical excision offers a curative treatment option for symptomatic cutaneous endometriosis.
