Skin Cancer

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...

Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer

Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer

Rous Sarcoma virus or RSV was discovered by F. Peyton Rous in the year 1911 as a filterable transmissible agent that could cause tumors in chickens. He won a Nobel Prize for this discovery in 1966. His experiments clearly demonstrated that some cancers could be caused by infectious agents and led to the discovery of many more cancer-causing viruses in animals as well as humans.
RSV is a retrovirus that contains two copies of a plus-strand RNA genome. Its genome consists of four main open...

Clinical Applications of Epidermal Stem Cells

Clinical Applications of Epidermal Stem Cells

Epidermal stem cells (EpiSCs) are mainly located at the basal layer of the epidermis. These cells repair minor injuries of the skin and replace dead skin cells. However, EpiSCs’ cannot heal severe wounds such as major burns or those from diabetes or hereditary disorders. In such cases, culturing the epidermal stem cells from the patient is possible and has yielded successful treatment options, such as laboratory-grown skin grafts. These grafts are synthesized using a patient’s own...

Area of Science:

Pediatric Oncology
Skeletal Malignancies
Diagnostic Pathology

Background:

Ewing sarcoma (ES) is a rare bone cancer primarily affecting children and young adults.
Nodular presentations in extremities can mimic benign conditions, complicating early diagnosis.
Delayed diagnosis of pediatric cancers can lead to poorer prognoses.

Observation:

A 10-year-old boy presented with a left toe nodule.
The nodule was refractory to initial empiric treatments.
Diagnostic procedures included biopsy, immunohistochemistry, and fluorescence in situ hybridization.

Findings:

Immunohistochemistry and fluorescence in situ hybridization confirmed the diagnosis of Ewing sarcoma.
The specific subtype and genetic markers of the Ewing sarcoma were identified.

Implications:

This case highlights the importance of considering Ewing sarcoma in the differential diagnosis of persistent pediatric extremity nodules.
Minimizing diagnostic delays through prompt and thorough investigation can improve treatment outcomes for pediatric bone cancers.
Advanced diagnostic modalities are essential for accurate and timely diagnosis of rare pediatric malignancies.
