1. The principal tissue changes in the respiratory tract of chickens caused by a vitamin A deficiency in the food are, first, an atrophy and degeneration of the lining mucous membrane epithelium as well as of the epithelium of the mucous membrane glands. This process is followed or accompanied by a replacement or substitution of the degenerating original epithelium of these parts by a squamous ...

Background: Steven-Johnson syndrome is one of life-threatening skin abnormality. SJS complication involve multiorgan disfunction such as mucosa, ocular, respiration, and digestive tract. Around 30- 50% patient experience chronic ocular sequel, which concludes progressive symblepharon, margo palpebral keratinization, trichiasis, entropion, corneal pannus, dry eye syndrome, persistent epithelial ...

Proliferating trichilemmal tumor (PTT) is an uncommon neoplasm arising from the follicular isthmus. Its histological characteristic is the presence of trichilemmal keratinization. PTT usually presents as a solitary nodule on the scalp of elderly women. We describe a case of a PTT on the gluteal region (buttocks) of a 16-year-old female, presenting as a solitary nodule.

PURPOSE To look at the correlation between many factors (time of hospitalization, floppy eyelid syndrome, trichiasis, open lacrimal puncta, symblepharon, and aqueous tear deficiency) and corneal complications in Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS). DESIGN Observational cases series. PATIENTS Clinical data were retrospectively reviewed from 38 patients (32.7+/-20.1 years old) with SJS (n = 11) an...

The authors describe one case of squamouscell carcinoma of the liver, which developed in a 54-year-old male. The gross tumor was a cyst, 10 cm in diameter, with the brown contents. A histological study revealed high-grade differentiated squamous-cell carcinoma without keratinization. An immunohistochemical study showed a positive reaction with cytokeratin 19 and PCNA expression in single nuclei...

Porokeratosis is a specific disorder of keratinization that has five clinical types and shows a characteristic 'cornoid lamella' on histopathology. Malignant degeneration has been described in all forms of porokeratosis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first Indian report of multicentric squamous cell carcinoma complicating porokeratosis.
