Resumen
Una afección cutánea rara, la anetodermia, puede imitar tumores. Este caso destaca la importancia de la biopsia para un diagnóstico preciso en pacientes de edad avanzada con crecimientos cutáneos inusuales.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Dermatología; Patología
Sus antecedentes:
- La anetodermia es un trastorno cutáneo raro que implica la pérdida de tejido elástico.
- Las presentaciones atípicas pueden imitar afecciones neoplásicas o inflamatorias, lo que complica el diagnóstico.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Informar un caso infrecuente de anetodermia que se presenta como neoplasias subcutáneas en una mujer de edad avanzada.
- Enfatizar la importancia de la histopatología en el diagnóstico de lesiones cutáneas atípicas.
Principales métodos:
- Presentación de caso de una mujer de 78 años con crecimientos cutáneos asintomáticos.
- Evaluación clínica y biopsia por punción de las lesiones.
- Examen histopatológico.
Principales resultados:
- La histopatología confirmó anetodermia en lesiones inicialmente sospechosas de neoplasias.
- La paciente no tenía enfermedades sistémicas conocidas ni dermatosis previa.
- La paciente se mantuvo asintomática con manejo conservador.
Conclusiones:
- La anetodermia puede presentarse de forma atípica, imitando neoplasias subcutáneas en adultos mayores.
- La confirmación histopatológica es crucial para lesiones cutáneas inciertas.
- El diagnóstico preciso es clave para el asesoramiento del paciente debido a las limitadas opciones de tratamiento.

Skin Cancer

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.

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...

Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
Papillary Layer
The papillary layer is made of loose, areolar connective tissue, which means the collagen...

Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives
3.2K
The first thing a clinician sees is the skin, so the examination of the skin should be part of any thorough physical examination. Most skin disorders are relatively benign, but a few, including melanomas, can be fatal if untreated. A couple of the more noticeable disorders, albinism and vitiligo, affect the appearance of the skin and its accessory organs.
Albinism
Albinism is a genetic disorder that affects (completely or partially) the coloring of skin, hair, and eyes. The defect is primarily...
