Summary
This study details a rare solitary circumscribed neuroma, also known as palisaded encapsulated neuroma, in a 30-year-old woman. It highlights novel histopathologic and dermoscopic features of this unique skin tumor.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Pathology
- Oncology
Background:
- Solitary circumscribed neuromas, or palisaded encapsulated neuromas, are rare benign skin tumors.
- Accurate diagnosis and understanding of their features are crucial for appropriate management.
Observation:
- A case of a 30-year-old woman with a solitary circumscribed neuroma is presented.
- The tumor was diagnosed following surgical excision.
Findings:
- Histopathologic correlation of the neuroma was performed.
- Unique dermoscopic features of this palisaded encapsulated neuroma were observed and documented for the first time in medical literature.
Implications:
- This report expands the understanding of palisaded encapsulated neuromas.
- The documented dermoscopic features may aid in the in vivo diagnosis of similar lesions.
- Further research into the specific characteristics of these neuromas is warranted.

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...

5.6K
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...

01:19Veins of Head and Neck
4.6K
The blood drainage from the head and neck is primarily managed by three pairs of veins: the external jugular, internal jugular, and vertebral veins. The external jugular veins drain superficial scalp and face structures, passing over the sternocleidomastoid muscles to empty into the subclavian veins.
On the other hand, the vertebral veins, unlike their arterial counterparts, are not primarily responsible for brain drainage. Instead, they drain the cervical vertebrae, spinal cord, and some small...

01:15Reticular Dermis
4.3K
The papillary and reticular dermis are the two layers of the dermis. They are made of connective tissue with fibers of collagen extending from one to the other, making the border between the two somewhat indistinct. The dermal papillae extending into the epidermis belong to the papillary layer, whereas the dense collagen fiber bundles below belong to the reticular layer.
Reticular Layer
Underlying the papillary layer is the much thicker reticular layer, composed of dense, irregular connective...

01:23Chronic Pharyngitis
9.2K
Chronic pharyngitis refers to persistent inflammation of the pharyngial mucosa.
Etiology
It often arises from persistent viral or bacterial infections affecting sinuses and tonsils.
Additional contributing factors include inadequate dental hygiene, mouth breathing, recurring tonsillitis, allergic rhinitis, laryngopharyngeal reflux, and exposure to smoke, chemicals, and other environmental pollutants. Allergic reactions to pollen, mold, and pet dander, chronic cough, excessive voice usage,...

01:29Angina III: Clinical Manifestations and Assessment
131
Angina manifests as chest pain, tightness, or squeezing discomfort typically located behind the breastbone. It can radiate to the neck, jaw, shoulders, and inner aspects of the upper arms, most commonly the left arm. Patients may experience shortness of breath, fatigue, profuse sweating, dizziness, indigestion, heartburn, palpitations, anxiety, and vomiting as accompanying symptoms. This pain often lasts a few minutes and is triggered by physical exertion, emotional stress, heavy meals, or cold...
