The distribution and selectivity of complex carbohydrates in the eccrine glands of the digital pads in the North American raccoon (Procyon lotor) were studied using light and electron microscopic histochemical methods, particularly lectin histochemistry. In the eccrine glands, the dark cells exhibited neutral and acidic glycoconjugates with different saccharide residues (alpha-L-fucose, beta-D-...

Isolated human eccrine sweat glands have been microdissected into their secretory and reabsorptive components. Complete separation of these epithelia was confirmed by differential uptake of Neutral Red stain by an intermediate section of gland containing the junction between the secretory coil and the collecting duct. Primary cultures were obtained from explants of both tissues in medium RPMI-1...

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) commonly affects the elderly and is mostly confined to the head and neck region. Only 10% of all cases occur on the trunk. We presented a case of bullous lesion on the abdomen in a young male, initially diagnosed by clinicians as a vascular nevus. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry (IHC) revealed it to be Nodular cystic variant of BCC. This rare va...

Introduction: Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is one of the most prevalent autoimmune blistering diseases, and believed to be mediated by autoantibodies and complement. The disorder is categorized by the development of urticarial plaques surmounted by subepidermal blisters, and the deposition of immunoglobulins and complement at the basement membrane zone (BMZ) of the skin. Case Report: A 70-year-old m...

<p class="abstract">Phacomatosis pigmentovascularis is a rare group of syndromes characterized by the co-existence vascular nevus and pigmentary with or without extracutaneous systemic involvement. The existing classifications phacomatosis are based on phenotypic characteristics. We report case pigmentovascularis, flammeus, anaemicus dermal melanocytosis manifestations. molecular basis ye...

Port-wine stain is a vascular malformation characterized pathologically by ectasia of superficial dermal capillaris and clinically by persistent macular erythema. The association of a port-wine stain on a limb with soft tissue swelling, with or without bony overgrowth, is termed klippel-Trenaunay syndrome. Phakomatosis pigmento-vascularis is a combination of port-wine stain and cutaneous ...

Nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis is a rare benign hamartomatous skin tumor characterized by dermal deposition of mature adipose tissue. Two clinical forms have been described (classical and solitary types). We describe a case of nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis with a 13-year history of growth in a young woman who had a solitary skin-colored tumoral mass on the right buttock. ...

A 3-year-old boy visited the Department of Plastic Surgery of our hospital, complaining of a painful nodule on the hand which had existed since birth. Physical examination revealed a skin-colored, smooth, small nodule on the left thumb [Figure 1a]. Neither palmar hyperhidrosis nor finger hyperplasia was observed. In addition, the patient had a depigmented macule on the left abdomen [Figure 1b] ...

Both acquired bilateral nevus of Ota-like macules (ABNOM) and nevus of Ota are characterized by the presence of dermal melanocytes. There are no differences in the method of treatment, however, postinflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) develops more often in ABNOM than in nevus of Ota following treatment. We investigated the differences in the development of PIH after treatment between ABNOM and...
