[Connective tissue nevi, associated variety]
Abstract:
We made the subject's review of the connective naevus because a boy of thirteen years old has consulted us about it. He has it on the back, on the forearm and on the right, it is associated to a cavernous tubero angioma of the mouth, this eventuality was described and commented by McBurney and his coworkers (1979) in his article "Angiokeratomas, connective tissue nevus, hemangioma". We bring out its main characteristics based on publications and displays of national authors' cases and our experience achieved at the cathedra about this nevoid dysplasia, from universal rareness, motif that will help to increase the scarce statistics of associate connective tissue naevus.

Connective Tissue Cell Types
Fat cells (adipocytes), smooth muscle cells (myoblasts), and bone cells (osteoblasts) are some connective tissue cell types. Some immune system cells...
Classification of Connective Tissues
Connective Tissue Proper
Connective tissue proper is the most abundant class of connective tissues. As its name implies, it predominantly connects different tissues in the body. Depending on the cell types, ground substance, viscosity, and fiber types in the ECM, connective tissue proper is further categorized into loose and dense.
Overview of Connective Tissues Proper
The loose connective tissues have a meshwork of thin collagen and elastin fibers, which provide tensile strength for support and enough elasticity to move cells. They have...

Loose Connective Tissue
Adipose Tissue
Adipose tissue consists primarily of fat storage cells called adipocytes and little extracellular matrix. A large number of capillaries present within adipose tissue allow rapid mobilization of lipid molecules. White adipose tissue is...
Papillary 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 and...
