Insights

A rare congenital pharynx mass, the hairy polyp, can cause life-threatening breathing and swallowing issues in infants. Surgical removal, aided by CT scans and epipharyngoscopy, successfully treated a six-month-old girl.

Area of Science:

  • Otorhinolaryngology
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Congenital Anomalies

Background:

  • Hairy polyp is a rare congenital pharyngeal mass causing significant respiratory and swallowing distress in infants.
  • This condition can be life-threatening if not managed promptly.

Observation:

  • A six-month-old female infant presented with symptoms indicative of a hairy polyp.
  • Diagnostic procedures included epipharyngoscopy and computed tomography (CT scan).

Findings:

  • The diagnosis of a hairy polyp was confirmed through advanced imaging and endoscopic examination.
  • Surgical intervention was performed under endotracheal anesthesia.

Implications:

  • Early diagnosis and surgical excision are crucial for managing hairy polyps.
  • This case highlights the successful application of modern diagnostic and surgical techniques in treating pediatric airway anomalies.

Assessment of the Rectum and Anus

Evaluating the rectum and anus plays a crucial role in conducting a thorough physical examination of the gastrointestinal system. Although it may be uncomfortable and often embarrassing for the patient, it holds immense diagnostic value, particularly in detecting gastrointestinal diseases and abnormalities. This guide will explain how to perform this assessment using inspection and palpation methods.
Rectal Inspection
Begin by inspecting the perianal and anal areas for color, texture, rashes,...

Skin Cancer

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...

Multipotency and Niche of Bulge Stem Cell

A hair follicle or HF is a small part of the skin that produces the hair shaft. Paul Gerson Unna was the first to observe a bulge in the human hair follicle's outer root sheath (ORS). The bulge is present between the sebaceous gland and the arrector pili muscle and is the niche for hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs). The bulge is also a niche for melanocyte stem cells, and their loss results in graying of hair. The HFSCs express Sox9 and Lhx2, which help them maintain stemness and prevent...

Accessory Structures of the Skin: Hair Growth and Types

Hair growth begins with the production of keratinocytes by the basal cells of the hair bulb. As new cells are deposited at the hair bulb, the hair shaft is pushed through the follicle toward the surface. Keratinization is completed as the cells are pushed to the skin surface to form the shaft of hair that is externally visible. The external hair is completely dead and composed entirely of keratin. Hair can be cut or shaven without damaging the hair structure because the cut is superficial. Most...
