The Langerhans cells are the KEYWORDS immunocompetent cells of the epidermis, and they represent the first defense barrier of the Histiocytoma, benign immune system towards the environment. The objective was to immunohistologically compare fibrous; the densities of S100-positive Langerhans cells in the healthy peritumoral epidermis against Skin neoplasms; those in the epidermis overlying dermatofibroma (20 cases), using antibodies against the S100 S100 Proteins molecule (the immunophenotypic hallmark of Langerhans cells). The control group (normal, healthy skin) included ten healthy age and sex-matched individuals who underwent skin biopsies for benign skin lesions. A significantly high density of Langerhans cells was observed both in the epidermis of the healthy skin (6.00 ± 0.29) and the peritumoral epidermis (6.44 ± 0.41) vs. those in the epidermis overlying the tumor (1.44 ± 0.33, p < 0.05). The quantitative deficit of Langerhans cells in the epidermis overlying dermatofibroma may be a possible factor in its development. © 2020 Sociedade Brasileira de Dermatologia.

  • Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease (Coxsackievirus) Fact Sheet
    Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease (Coxsackievirus) Fact Sheet Hand, foot, and mouth disease is caused by one of several types of viruses Hand, foot, and mouth disease is usually characterized by tiny blisters on the inside of the mouth and the palms of the hands, fingers, soles of the feet. It is commonly caused by coxsackievirus A16 (an enterovirus), and less often by other types of viruses. Anyone can get hand, foot, and mouth disease Young children are primarily affected, but it may be seen in adults. Most cases occur in the summer and early fall. Outbreaks may occur among groups of children especially in child care centers or nursery schools. Symptoms usually appear 3 to 5 days after exposure. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is usually spread through person-to-person contact People can spread the disease when they are shedding the virus in their feces. It is also spread by the respiratory tract from mouth or respiratory secretions (such as from saliva on hands or toys). The virus has also been found in the fluid from the skin blisters. The infection is spread most easily during the acute phase/stage of illness when people are feeling ill, but the virus can be spread for several weeks after the onset of infection. The symptoms are much like a common cold with a rash The rash appears as blisters or ulcers in the mouth, on the inner cheeks, gums, sides of the tongue, and as bumps or blisters on the hands, feet, and sometimes other parts of the skin. The skin rash may last for 7 to 10 days.

ABSTRACT population of plump spindled cells devoid of cell processes, these cells contained intracytoplasmic lipid droplets and rare Dermatofibroma (DF) and Dermatofibrosarcoma subplasmalemmal densities but lacked MVB. Protuberans (DFSP) are dermal tumors whose histogenesis has not been well defined to date.

The histogenesis of DF remains of DF with less clear histological differences and non-conclusive obscure. immunohistochemical results. In such cases electron microscopy studies may be useful to establish the diagnosis.

    KNOWLEDGE TO PRACTICE DES CONNAISSANCES À LA PRATIQUE Diagnostic Challenge A “ticklish” belly button… Tahira Daya*; Conor McKaigney, MD† CASE HISTORY A 42-year-old woman presented to the emergency department (ED) with acute onset periumbilical pain and erythema, which started that morning. She felt nauseated but denied vomiting. Her bowel movements were regular and non-bloody. She did not have a fever. She had no significant prior medical history, no recent trauma, and had no previous surgeries. In the ED, she appeared uncomfortable from pain but was not in acute distress. Vital signs upon initial presentation included a heart rate of 120 beats/min, a blood pressure of 145/111 mm Hg, respiratory rate of 16 breaths/min, temperature of 36.8°C (98.2°F), and an oxygen saturation of 99% on room air. Her vital signs two hours later after a fluid challenge and analgesics had improved to a heart rate of 74 beats/min and blood pressure of 132/83 mm Hg, and the remaining vitals were the same. Her abdomen demonstrated periumbilical erythema, with a central clearing; the area was tender to Figure 1. Periumbilical rash with central clearing. palpation, and warm to touch.
