Pleomorphic fibroma of the skin Epithelioid cell histiocytoma: von Kossa: Calcium: Calcinosis cutis Pseudoxanthoma elasticum: Wade: Leprosy: Wright: Blood cells: Transient neonatal pustular melanosis [nb 3] Erythema toxicum neonatorum [nb 4] > Granuloma inguinale: Ziehl–Neelsen stain: Leprosy [nb 1]
Merkel cells are found in the skin and some parts of the mucosa of all vertebrates. In mammalian skin, they are clear cells found in the stratum basale [2] [3] (at the bottom of sweat duct ridges) of the epidermis approximately 10 μm in diameter. They are oval-shaped mechanoreceptors essential for light touch sensation and found in the skin of ...
Superficial fascia is the lowermost layer of the skin in nearly all of the regions of the body, that blends with the reticular dermis layer. [13] It is present on the face , over the upper portion of the sternocleidomastoid , at the nape of the neck and overlying the breastbone . [ 14 ]
An initial evaluation of a suspected lymphoma is to make a "touch prep" wherein a glass slide is lightly pressed against excised lymphoid tissue, and subsequently stained (usually H&E stain) for evaluation under light microscopy. The second method of histology processing is called frozen section processing. This is a highly technical scientific ...
The human skin is the outer covering of the body and is the largest organ of the integumentary system. The skin has up to seven layers of ectodermal tissue guarding muscles, bones, ligaments and internal organs. Human skin is similar to most of the other mammals' skin, and it is very similar to pig skin.
Pictogram of margin controlled histology or CCPDMA Pictogram of standard bread loafing histology False negative in standard bread loafing histology. Bread loafing is a common method of processing surgical specimens for histopathology. The process involves cutting the specimen into 3 or more sections. [1]
The stratum lucidum (Latin, 'clear layer') is a thin, clear layer of dead skin cells in the epidermis named for its translucent appearance under a microscope. It is readily visible by light microscopy only in areas of thick skin , which are found on the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet.
Scale forms on the skin surface in various disease settings, and is the result of abnormal desquamation. In pathologic desquamation, such as that seen in X-linked ichthyosis, the stratum corneum becomes thicker (hyperkeratosis), imparting a "dry" or scaly appearance to the skin, and instead of detaching as single cells, corneocytes are shed in clusters, which forms visible scales.
