[Solar elastosis in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma].
INTRODUCTION Solar elastosis, or basophilic degeneration of collagen, may be a histologic sign of chronic sun damage. MATERIAL AND METHODS We reviewed 222 cases of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) to identify the presence of solar elastosis and its possible invasion of the upper, middle, or deep reticular dermis. We also analyzed clinical variables such as SCC location, location in exposed areas...
متن کاملSolar Elastosis in Its Papular Form: Uncommon, Mistakable
Solar elastosis is a degenerative condition of elastic tissue in the dermis due to prolonged sun exposure. There are a variety of clinical manifestations of solar elastosis. In its most common form, solar elastosis manifests as yellow, thickened, coarsely wrinkled skin. We report two uncommon cases of severe solar elastosis with a papular morphology. Its presentation can closely mimic a host of...
متن کاملCutis RhomboidalisFaciei: An Early Sign of Solar Elastosis
Actinic elastosis also known as solar elastosis is a degenerative change in the dermis. It is caused due to chronic exposure to electromagnetic radiation most commonly solar radiation and can also be due to infrared radiation exposure [1] . UVB wavelength (290-320nm) most commonly leads to solar elastosis; however UVA (320400nm) and sometimes infrared radiation (>700nm) can also aggravate the c...
متن کاملCutaneous melanoma.
In the past decade, major advances have been made in the understanding of melanoma. New predisposition genes have been reported and key somatic events, such as BRAF mutation, directly translated into therapeutic management. Surgery for localised melanoma and regional lymph node metastases is the standard of care. Sentinel-node biopsy provides precise staging, but has not been reported to affect...
متن کاملCutaneous Melanoma in Asians
Malignant melanoma is a rare disease in Asians but potentially the most aggressive form of skin cancer worldwide. It can occur in any melanocyte-containing anatomic site. Four main cutaneous melanoma subtypes are recognized: lentigo maligna melanoma, superficial spreading melanoma, acral lentiginous melanoma (ALM), and nodular melanoma. Generally, excessive exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiatio...
