    A woman with stage I squamous carcinoma of the vulva associated with diffuse lichen sclerosus was treated with radical vulvectomy plus inguinofemoral and pelvic lymphadenectomy. This procedure was followed by vulvar reconstruction using bilateral gracilis myocutaneous grafts. Two years later the previously normal grafted skin had developed lichen sclerosus. This occurrence is unique and completely unexpected in view of the graft technique, which preserves the original blood supply and deep dermal tissues.

    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...

    Healing II: Complications

    Complications during healing arise when tissue repair is altered by local or systemic factors. These changes involve abnormal collagen deposition, altered biomechanics, and reduced vascular supply, impairing restoration of normal structure and function.Loss of FunctionScar tissue differs significantly from the original tissue it replaces. In the skin, fibrosis lacks adnexal structures such as hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and sweat glands. Their absence reduces tactile sensitivity, impairs...
