ANTICANCER RESEARCH 35: 5717-5736 (2015) Review Atypical Fibroxanthoma - Histological Diagnosis, Immunohistochemical Markers and Concepts of Therapy MICHAEL KOCH1, ANNE J. FREUNDL2, ABBAS AGAIMY3, FRANKLIN KIESEWETTER2, JULIAN KÜNZEL4, IWONA CICHA1* and CHRISTOPH ALEXIOU1* 1Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, University Hospital Erlangen, Erlangen, Germany; 2Dermatology Clinic, 3Institute of Pathology, and 4ENT Department, University Hospital Mainz, Mainz, Germany Abstract. Background: Atypical fibroxanthoma (AFX) is an in 1962 (2). The name 'atypical fibroxanthoma' reflects the uncommon, rapidly growing cutaneous neoplasm of uncertain tumor composition, containing mainly xanthomatous-looking histogenesis. Thus far, there are no guidelines for diagnosis and cells and a varying proportion of fibrocytoid cells with therapy of this tumor. Patients and Methods: We included 18 variable, but usually marked cellular atypia (3). patients with 21 AFX, and 2,912 patients with a total of 2,939 According to previous reports, AFX chiefly occurs in the AFX cited in the literature between 1962 and 2014. Results: In sun-exposed head-and-neck area, especially in elderly males our cohort, excision with safety margin was performed in 100% (3). There are two disease peaks described: one within the 5th of primary tumors. Local recurrences were observed in 25% of to 7th decade of life and another one between the 7th and 8th primary tumors and parotid metastases in 5%. Ten-year disease- decade. The former disease peak is associated with lower specific survival was 100%. The literature research yielded 280 tumor frequency (21.8%) and tumors that do not necessarily relevant publications. Over 90% of the reported cases were manifest on skin areas exposed to sunlight (4). -

Fundamentals of Dermatology Describing Rashes and Lesions
Dermatology for the Non-Dermatologist May 30 – June 3, 2018 - 1 - Fundamentals of Dermatology Describing Rashes and Lesions History remains ESSENTIAL to establish diagnosis – duration, treatments, prior history of skin conditions, drug use, systemic illness, etc., etc. Historical characteristics of lesions and rashes are also key elements of the description. Painful vs. painless? Pruritic? Burning sensation? Key descriptive elements – 1- definition and morphology of the lesion, 2- location and the extent of the disease. DEFINITIONS: Atrophy: Thinning of the epidermis and/or dermis causing a shiny appearance or fine wrinkling and/or depression of the skin (common causes: steroids, sudden weight gain, “stretch marks”) Bulla: Circumscribed superficial collection of fluid below or within the epidermis > 5mm (if <5mm vesicle), may be formed by the coalescence of vesicles (blister) Burrow: A linear, “threadlike” elevation of the skin, typically a few millimeters long. (scabies) Comedo: A plugged sebaceous follicle, such as closed (whitehead) & open comedones (blackhead) in acne Crust: Dried residue of serum, blood or pus (scab) Cyst: A circumscribed, usually slightly compressible, round, walled lesion, below the epidermis, may be filled with fluid or semi-solid material (sebaceous cyst, cystic acne) Dermatitis: nonspecific term for inflammation of the skin (many possible causes); may be a specific condition, e.g. atopic dermatitis Eczema: a generic term for acute or chronic inflammatory conditions of the skin.

Lipid Deposition at the Limbus
Eye (1989) 3, 240-250 Lipid Deposition at the Limbus S. M. CRISPIN Bristol Summary Lipid deposition at the limbus is a feature of familial and non-familial dyslipopro teinemias and can also occur without apparent accompanying systemic abnormality. Hyperlipoproteinemia, most notably type II hyperlipoproteinemia, is frequently associated with bilateral corneal arcus, with less common association in types III, IV and V. Diffuse bilateral opacification of the cornea with accentuation towards the limbus is a feature of HDL deficiency syndromes and LCAT deficiency. Whereas the lipid accumulation of hyperlipoproteinemia may be representative of excessive insudation of lipoprotein from plasma into the cornea that of hypoliproteinemia is more likely to be a consequence of defective lipid clearance. The situation is yet further complicated by the modifying influences of secondary factors. both local and systemic. Lipid may be deposited at the limbus in a so. Both local and systemic factors can influ variety of situations; most commonly it ence lipid deposition in this region and their accumulates as a consequence of excessive inter-relationships are complex and often lipid entry or defective lipid clearance over a poorly understood. Some of the local factors long period of time, but this is not invariably which have been investigated include normal and abnormal structure and function; the effects of temperature and vasculature; and the modifying influences of certain ocular disorders. LIVER Local lipoprotein metabolism of cornea and limbus has received little study but there is a wealth of information available concerning systemic plasma lipoproteins in health and disease and a number of dyslipoproteinemias VLDLI LDL have been reported in which corneal lipid deposition is one of the clinical features. -
Squamous Cell Carcinoma Where the Center of the Lesion Has Been Ulcerated and Masked
GROWTH KINGDOM STUART TOBIN, M.D. DIVISION OF DERMATOLOGY ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF SURGERY UK HEALTHCARE Growth Kingdom Dermatology is subdivided into two general divisions or kingdoms. In biology there was the plant kingdom and the animal kingdom. In dermatology there is the rash kingdom and the growth kingdom. First algorithmic decision one needs to make is it a rash or a growth? •If it is a growth then there is an app or logical sequential pattern in determining what the diagnosis is. •Almost every growth on the skin derives from a normal skin cell or skin structure. •By classifying the growth into one of the limited number of skin cells or skin structures one can formulate a differential diagnosis. •The skin is composed of the epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous fat •Within each of these layers are individual cells and tissue units that compose each layer. The primary epidermis skin cells are: 1. Squamous Cell 2. Melanocyte 3. Basal cell •In the dermis the primary cells are histiocytes and fibroblasts •A dense connective tissue matrix of collagen is also present in the dermis •Structures in the skin include blood vessels, nerves, the oil gland apparatus or the pilosebaceous structure which includes the oil gland and the hair follicle. • Sweat glands usually eccrine and subcutaneous fat tissue which house larger blood vessels. • The clinician can formulate a differential diagnosis by determining which cell or structure the growth is derived from. •Dermatologists are very sensitive to color and often use it as a means of placing growths into a differential. •If the lesion is RED or BLUE/PURPLE we think vascular •If the lesion is some color variation of BROWN or BLACK we think of pigmented lesions •If the lesion has a WHITE SCALE we think of lesions of squamous cell origin since the squamous cell is the only cell capable of producing keratin. -

Difference Between Dyslipidemia and Hyperlipidemia Key Difference – Dyslipidemia Vs Hyperlipidemia
Difference Between Dyslipidemia and Hyperlipidemia www.differenebetween.com Key Difference – Dyslipidemia vs Hyperlipidemia Dyslipidemia and hyperlipidemia are two medical conditions that affect the lipid levels of the body. Any deviation of the lipid level of the body from the normal and clinically appropriate values is identified as dyslipidemia. Hyperlipidemia is a form of dyslipidemia where the lipid levels are abnormally elevated. The key difference between dyslipidemia and hyperlipidemia is that dyslipidemia refers to any abnormality in the lipid levels whereas hyperlipidemia refers to an abnormal elevation in the lipid level. What is Dyslipidemia? Any abnormality in the lipid levels of the body is identified as dyslipidemia. Different forms of dyslipidemia include Hyperlipidemia Hypolipidemia Lipid levels of the body are abnormally reduced in this condition. Severe protein energy malnutrition, severe malabsorption, and intestinal lymphangiectasia are the causes. Hypolipoproteinemia This disease is caused by genetic or acquired causes. The familial form of hypolipoproteinemia is asymptomatic and does not require treatments. But there are some other forms of this condition which are extremely severe. Genetic disorders associated with this condition are, Abeta lipoproteinemia Familial hypobetalipoproteinemia Chylomicron retention disease Lipodystrophy Lipomatosis Dyslipidemia in pregnancy What is Hyperlipidemia? Hyperlipidemia is a form of dyslipidemia that is characterized by abnormally elevated lipid levels. Primary Hyperlipidemia Primary hyperlipidemias are due to a primary defect in the lipid metabolism. Classification Disorders of VLDL and chylomicrons- hypertriglyceridemia alone The commonest cause of these disorders is the genetic defects in multiple genes. There is a modest increase in the VLDL level. Disorders of LDL- hypercholesterolemia alone There are several subgroups of this category Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia This is a fairly common autosomal dominant monogenic disorder. -

ABSTRACT Neonatal hypertriglyceridemia is a very rare condition. Diagnosis in neonatal period is very difficult and is usually diagnosed when acute pancreatitis sets in. Early diagnosis is important as it can prevent the complications associated with the condition that is acute pancreatitis and pancreatic necrosis. Here we present a case of neonatal hypertriglyceridemia who presented to us with respiratory distress but was diagnosed early due to the presence of highly viscous and milky blood. This holds importance as early treatment can reduce the complications and morbidity associated with familial hypertriglyceridemia. Keywords: Hypertriglyceridemia, Milky blood, Neonatal INTRODUCTION lipoproteins, an increased level of cholesterol with an elevated level of Tg, and relative frequency slightly Familial hypertriglyceridemia (FH) is a very rare higher, about 5%.4 Lipid disorders can occur as a primary condition occurring in around 1 % of population.1 Plasma event or secondary to the underlying disease. -
