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 EpiSCs...

Classification of Epithelial Tissues: Overview

Classification of Epithelial Tissues: Overview

Epithelial tissues are classified according to the shape of the cells and the number of cell layers formed. Cell shapes can be squamous (flattened and thin), cuboidal (square-like, as wide as it is tall), or columnar (rectangular, taller than it is wide). Additionally, the nucleus shape helps identify the type of epithelial cells. Squamous cells have flattened disc-shaped nuclei, cuboidal cells have spherical nuclei, and columnar cells have elongated nuclei.
Based on the number of cell layers,...

Classification of Epithelial Tissues: Glandular Epithelium

Classification of Epithelial Tissues: Glandular Epithelium

The glandular epithelium is made of one or more epithelial cells modified to synthesize and secrete chemical substances. Glandular epithelia can be classified based on cell number. Unicellular glands have individual secretory cells scattered across the epithelial monolayer. In contrast, multicellular glands consist of a hollow tubular duct attached to the cluster of secretory cells located in the deep pockets.
Multicellular glands are formed during early development when epithelial budding...

Accessory Structures of the Skin: Sebaceous Glands

Accessory Structures of the Skin: Sebaceous Glands

A sebaceous gland is a type of oil gland found almost all over the skin ( except palms and soles) and helps lubricate and waterproof the skin and hair. Most sebaceous glands are associated with hair follicles. They generate and excrete sebum, a mixture of lipids, onto the skin surface, thereby naturally lubricating the dry and dead layer of keratinized cells of the stratum corneum, keeping it pliable.
These glands that produce the oils on the skin and hair are holocrine glands. The mature...

Acne Infection

Acne Infection

Acne is a multifactorial skin condition primarily affecting adolescents and young adults, with a global prevalence estimated to exceed 75% in this demographic. The condition is characterized by the formation of comedones (blackheads and whiteheads), papules, pustules, nodules, and, in severe cases, cysts, particularly in areas rich in sebaceous glands such as the face, neck, chest, and back. The pathogenesis involves increased sebum production, follicular hyperkeratinization, colonization by...

Background:

Intraepithelial sebaceous gland carcinoma is an exceptionally rare malignancy.
Only 10 case reports existed prior to this study.
Understanding its clinical, histological, and prognostic features is vital.

Purpose of the Study:

To report the clinical, histological, and prognostic features of intraepithelial sebaceous gland carcinoma.
To increase awareness of this rare condition among clinicians and pathologists.
To guide management and follow-up strategies for affected patients.

Main Methods:

A multicenter retrospective case series involving 3 Australian sites.
Data collected included demographics, risk factors, clinical presentation, histology, management, and outcomes.
Twelve cases of intraepithelial sebaceous gland carcinoma were identified and analyzed.

Main Results:

The average patient age was 72 years, with a female predilection.
Ocular irritation and eyelid mass were the most common presenting symptoms.
Seven out of twelve cases experienced local recurrence, with no distant metastasis observed.

Conclusions:

A high index of suspicion for intraepithelial sebaceous gland carcinoma is warranted, particularly on the upper eyelid.
Close patient follow-up is essential due to the significant risk of local recurrence.
This study contributes valuable data on the prognostic features of this rare carcinoma.
