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

3.8K
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...

The Tumor Microenvironment02:17

The Tumor Microenvironment

6.6K
Every normal cell or tissue is embedded in a complex local environment called stroma, consisting of different cell types, a basal membrane, and blood vessels. As normal cells mutate and develop into cancer cells, their local environment also changes to allow cancer progression. The tumor microenvironment (TME) consists of a complex cellular matrix of stromal cells and the developing tumor. The cross-talk between cancer cells and surrounding stromal cells is critical to disrupt normal tissue...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Dermatology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Cutaneous angiosarcoma is a rare, aggressive vascular tumor.
  • It most frequently affects the head and neck region.
  • Concurrent comorbidities can complicate presentation and treatment.

Observation:

  • A case of cutaneous angiosarcoma presented atypically in a sun-protected body area.
  • The tumor manifested as a rapidly expanding wound, leading to sepsis.
  • The patient had multiple pre-existing health conditions.

Findings:

  • Histopathology and immunohistochemistry confirmed the diagnosis of cutaneous angiosarcoma.
  • Sepsis was secondary to the aggressive, infected wound.
  • Treatment focused on causative organisms and tumor morphology.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering rare diagnoses even in atypical locations.
  • Aggressive wound management and targeted antimicrobial therapy are crucial in such cases.
  • Patient-centered decisions regarding palliative chemotherapy are essential for quality of life.
