BACKGROUND Atypical lentiginous nevus (of the elderly) is a peculiar form of dysplastic nevus. Clinically, this condition can resemble malignant melanoma and histologically, it has a lentiginous pattern with variable degrees of atypia and an absence of dermal nests. These features may lead to an erroneous diagnosis of lentigo maligna melanoma or lentiginous melanoma. MATERIAL AND METHODS We r...

Abundant mucin deposition is an unusual fi nding for melanocytic lesions. This notion, however, should be toned down since mucin may be present in distinct melanocytic lesions. Indeed, following the fi rst description of mucin depositions in neural differentiated naevi by Maize and Ackerman in 1987 1 this phenomenon was repeatedly observed. Especially in blue naevi mucin deposition is a peculia...

In our first paper (1) we reported that epidermal cancers induced by cutaneous applications of methylcholanthrene appeared more quickly and in a higher percentage of animals in young than in old New Buffalo mice. The obvious conclusion reached was that the epidermis of these young New Buffalo mice was less resistant to the carcinogenic action of methylcholanthrene than the epidermis of old ones...

Toksik epidermal nekrolizis (TEN) sıklıkla ilaç kullanımı sonucu gelişen, akut başlangıçlı, çok hızlı ilerleyen, epidermis nekrozu ile karakterize bir hastalıktır.
