Abnormal Proliferation02:23

Abnormal Proliferation

4.6K
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...

Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer

5.1K
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...

The Parathyroid Glands00:59

The Parathyroid Glands

2.2K
The two pairs of parathyroid glands embedded within the posterior surface of the thyroid gland are restricted by a dense capsule around them. These glands comprise two distinct cell populations—parathyroid oxyphil and parathyroid principal cells- pivotal in calcium homeostasis.
Oxyphil cells, whose functions remain elusive, emerge during late puberty, adding a layer of complexity to the parathyroid gland's intricacies. In contrast, principal parathyroid cells undertake a vital role by...

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum01:21

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

5.8K
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum or smooth ER is a sub-organelle with specialized functions in animal cells and plant cells. It is often associated with the tubule morphology of the endoplasmic reticulum.
The ER provides optimal conditions for synthesizing steroid hormones and lipids, such as phospholipids and triglycerides. Traditionally, lipid metabolism was considered to be a smooth ER function. However, there is no direct evidence to prove that rough ER is completely excluded from lipid...

The Retinoblastoma Gene01:20

The Retinoblastoma Gene

4.1K
Tumor suppressor genes are normal genes that can slow down cell division, repair DNA mistakes, or program the cells for apoptosis in case of irreparable damage. Hence, they play an essential role in preventing the proliferation of damaged cells.
The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Rare diseases
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Kimura disease is a rare chronic inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology.
  • It primarily affects young Asian males, presenting with painless subcutaneous swelling.
  • Key features include blood and tissue eosinophilia and elevated immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a case of Kimura disease in a young male patient.
  • To highlight the clinical presentation of Kimura disease.
  • To emphasize the importance of early diagnosis in managing Kimura disease.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of a 17-year-old male.
  • Clinical examination focusing on submandibular swelling.
  • Diagnostic workup including blood tests for eosinophilia and IgE levels.

Main Results:

  • The patient presented with left submandibular swelling.
  • Blood tests revealed eosinophilia and elevated IgE levels, consistent with Kimura disease.
  • The diagnosis was established without invasive procedures due to characteristic findings.

Conclusions:

  • Kimura disease diagnosis can be achieved through characteristic clinical and laboratory findings.
  • Prompt diagnosis of Kimura disease can prevent unnecessary invasive procedures.
  • This case underscores the importance of recognizing Kimura disease in young males with specific symptoms.
