Skin Cancer

4.1K
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...

Skin Diseases and Disorders

Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...

Abnormal Proliferation02:23

Abnormal Proliferation

4.5K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Dermatopathology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Follicular dendritic cell sarcoma (FDCS) is a rare malignancy with features resembling normal follicular dendritic cells.
  • FDCS can arise in lymph nodes or extranodal sites, posing diagnostic challenges.
  • Primary cutaneous FDCS is exceptionally rare, complicating diagnosis due to non-specific clinical presentation.

Approach:

  • The study presents a case of primary cutaneous FDCS in a young man.
  • Morphologic and immunohistochemical features of the tumor are described.
  • A comprehensive review of the English literature on cutaneous FDCS was conducted.

Key Points:

  • The case involved a 6-mm skin-colored nodule on the forearm.
  • Immunohistochemical analysis is crucial for diagnosing FDCS, as specific markers are not routinely included in differential panels.
  • High index of suspicion is necessary for diagnosing extranodal FDCS.

Conclusions:

  • Primary cutaneous follicular dendritic cell sarcoma is a rare entity requiring specific diagnostic considerations.
  • Accurate diagnosis relies on recognizing characteristic morphologic and immunophenotypic features.
  • Further case reports and literature reviews are valuable for understanding this rare sarcoma.
