Abstract:
Multinucleate cell angiohistiocytoma (MCAH) is a rare cutaneous entity described as grouped erythematous to violaceous papules. Histopathologic findings include vascular proliferations with multinucleate giant cells and dermal fibrosis. We report a case of MCAH in an 83-year-old white man affecting both the right anterior thigh and left posterior calf. Additionally, the pathogenesis of MCAH and different therapeutic modalities are reviewed.

Water
The polarity of the water molecule and its resulting hydrogen bonding makes water a unique substance with special properties that are intimately tied to the processes of life. Life originally evolved in an aqueous environment, and most of an organism’s cellular chemistry and metabolism occur inside the aqueous contents of the cell’s cytoplasm. Special properties of water are its high heat capacity...
