Papillary Dermis01:11

Papillary Dermis

4.0K
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...

Multipotency and Niche of Bulge Stem Cell01:06

Multipotency and Niche of Bulge Stem Cell

3.9K
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...

Abnormal Proliferation02:23

Abnormal Proliferation

4.7K
Under normal conditions, most adult cells remain in a non-proliferative state unless stimulated by internal or external factors to replace lost cells. Abnormal cell proliferation is a condition in which the cell's growth exceeds and is uncoordinated with normal cells. In such situations, cell division persists in the same excessive manner even after cessation of the stimuli, leading to persistent tumors. The tumor arises from the damaged cells that replicate to pass the damage to the...

Detailed Structure and Function of Lymph Nodes01:23

Detailed Structure and Function of Lymph Nodes

2.9K
Lymph nodes are bean-shaped structures that cluster along the lymphatic vessels in the inguinal, axillary, and cervical regions. Each node is divided into compartments by a capsule that extends trabeculae inward.
From a histological perspective, lymph nodes can be split into two main areas: the superficial cortex and the deep medulla. The outer cortex is populated by dendritic cells, macrophages, and B lymphocytes, which are densely packed into follicles. When these B-lymphocytes are presented...

The Thyroid Gland01:23

The Thyroid Gland

4.6K
The thyroid gland is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located in the neck and covers the anterior surface of the trachea. The gland has two lateral lobes connected by a thin tissue mass called the isthmus. Internally, each lobe comprises many small spherical structures known as thyroid follicles, surrounded by a network of blood vessels.
The follicles have a central cavity lined by simple cuboidal to squamous epithelial cells called follicular cells. These cells produce the glycoprotein...

The Nucleolus02:55

The Nucleolus

9.3K
The nucleolus is the most prominent substructure of the nucleus. When it was first discovered, it was considered to be an isolated organelle that forms fibrils and granules. In 1931, the relationship between the nucleolus and chromosomes was first described by Heitz. He observed that the appearance and size of nucleolus varies depending on the stage of the cell cycle. He also noticed constricted regions on different chromosomes clustered together at definite cell cycle stages. These regions,...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common type of skin cancer.
  • Pedunculated BCC is a rare growth variant.
  • Giant BCCs are also infrequently reported.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report an original case of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) with combined rare features.
  • To highlight the uncommon presentation of a pedunculated and giant basal cell carcinoma.

Main Methods:

  • Case report presentation.
  • Clinical and pathological description of the tumor.
  • Review of existing literature on rare BCC variants.

Main Results:

  • A unique case of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) exhibiting both pedunculated and giant morphology was identified.
  • This combination of features is exceptionally rare in reported literature.
  • The case underscores the diverse clinical presentations of basal cell carcinoma.

Conclusions:

  • The occurrence of a giant, pedunculated basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a rare event.
  • This case expands the understanding of BCC's varied morphology.
  • Further documentation of such rare presentations is valuable for dermatologists and oncologists.
