RESUMEN

Muir-Torre syndrome (MTS) is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder that manifests through the co-occurrence of sebaceous skin tumors and internal malignancies, primarily due to mutations in mismatch repair (MMR) genes such as MSH2, MLH1, and MSH6. This paper presents a detailed case report of a 57-year-old female diagnosed with MTS, highlighting her extensive medical history and the critical role of genetic testing and multidisciplinary management. The patient's dermatological and oncological assessments revealed multiple sebaceous carcinomas and recurrent urothelial carcinoma, confirmed by a pathogenic MSH2 mutation. Through comprehensive preventive surgeries and rigorous follow-up, this case underscores the necessity of proactive cancer surveillance. The discussion integrates findings from key genetic studies and emphasizes the importance of immunohistochemistry in diagnosis. Recommendations for clinical practice include routine genetic testing, stringent surveillance, and multidisciplinary management, underscoring the need for ongoing research to understand better and manage this complex syndrome.

RESUMEN

Background and Aims: Acne vulgaris remains one of the most common and problematic dermatological conditions. Recently, a fractional 1927 nm thulium laser has been developed with specific water absorption characteristics which may be of interest in the treatment of acne. Subjects and Methods: Nine consecutive Korean subjects, 6 females and 3 males, ages ranging from 13 to 33 yr, presented with a mixture of inflammatory and noninflammatory acne. Baseline clinical photography, image analysis and lesion counts were performed. A fractional 1927 nm thulium laser (FTL) delivered 6 treatment sessions in 5 subjects and 5 sessions in 4 subjects, 4 weeks between sessions. Pain during treatment was assessed. At 32 weeks after the last treatment session, an independent Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) performed lesion counts and graded the severity of the acne at baseline and the final assessment on a quintile scale. Data were analyzed statistically. Results: All 9 subjects completed the study with significant reductions in the inflammatory and noninflammatory lesions (P values 0.0012 and 0.0081, respectively) with overall lesion counts at the final assessment ranging from 60% to 97.1%, and acne grades in the IGA dropping by an average of 1.67 (range 1 to 3 grades). There was no significant difference in lesion counts or acne grades between the subjects who had 6 treatments and those who had 5 (P = 0.7695). Mild pain was reported during treatment, and no adverse events were reported by either the subjects or investigator. Conclusions: The FTL at the parameters used in the present study caused disruption to the upper portion of the affected follicles and sebaceous glands under an intact stratum corneum, thereby destroying or damaging the causative Cutibacterium acnes. The superficial controlled coagulation additionally induced follicular remodeling and tissue regeneration, potentially contributing to the noticeable results in inflammatory and noninflammatory acne lesions.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Acne vulgaris poses a significant dermatological challenge, necessitating alternative treatments due to limitations and side effects associated with current therapies. This pilot clinical trial investigated the feasibility and efficacy of precision cryotherapy for acne vulgaris. METHODS: A total of 20 volunteers underwent targeted precision cryotherapy using a carbon dioxide-based device. Treatment outcomes were assessed using various parameters, including Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) score, acne lesion count, erythema index (EI), global evaluation score, and participant satisfaction. Safety monitoring included adverse event reporting and physical examination. RESULTS: Precision cryotherapy demonstrated a significant reduction (90.25%) in the acne lesion count by week 4, with clinical improvement indicated by IGA score reduction (p < 0.001). The EI showed notable improvements at weeks 1, 2, and 4. The global evaluation score demonstrated a 75%-100% clinical improvement at Visit 4. Participants reported high satisfaction (6.75 ± 0.79) with the procedure. No adverse event or discomfort was reported. CONCLUSION: Precision cryotherapy effectively improved acne lesions, which was safe and satisfactory for participants. These findings suggest its potential as an alternative therapeutic modality, especially for populations with limited treatment options. Further research is needed to validate the results and explore underlying mechanisms.

RESUMEN

Introduction: Eyelid sebaceous gland carcinoma (SGC) is an aggressive malignancy. Surgical excision is the standard treatment for non-metastatic eyelid SGC. This study aimed to evaluate treatment outcomes with use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) and any change in ease/difficulty of surgical treatment in such cases. Methods: This was a prospective interventional study conducted over 24-month period. Histopathologically, confirmed cases without any systemic metastasis were included. Clinico-demographic details were collected for 30 patients. 10 patients received NACT using cisplatin and 5-FU. Tumour response was evaluated using RECIST criteria. An ease of surgery questionnaire was used to assess difficulty of surgical treatment before and after NACT. Results: Of the 30 patients evaluated for recruitment, 37% had recurrent SGC and 72% had advanced tumour stage. Ten patients were recruited for NACT. There was partial response in 80% and complete response in 10% cases. Tumour T category downstaging was seen in 50% of cases. While tumour dimensions/volume reduced substantially, surgical ease improved in only 40% cases. Conclusion: A significant proportion of SGC patients evaluated in our study presented with recurrent and/or advanced disease. NACT caused tumour regression in 90% of cases. However, surgical ease improvement was limited, pointing to a need for surgical modification in such cases. Corneal ulceration was noted in 2 cases with large tumours causing a complete mechanical ptosis. Overall, the study introduced an ease of surgery questionnaire and provided insights into benefits and challenges of using NACT for eyelid SGC management.

RESUMEN

Introduction: The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinicopathological features of eyelid sebaceous gland carcinoma (SGC), which requires immunohistochemical examination for a definitive diagnosis. Methods: Twenty-seven patients with a final diagnosis of eyelid SGC at Toyama University Hospital between April 2016 and April 2022 were retrospectively studied. In cases with a strong clinical suspicion of SGC, if the initial pathological diagnosis by hematoxylin-eosin staining was non-SGC, additional detailed pathology was performed, including immunostaining for adipophilin (ADP) and androgen receptor (AR). Results: Five patients (18.5%) had a diagnosis other than SGC, including three with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), one with basal cell carcinoma, and one with Bowen disease. In these 5 cases, detailed pathology, including immunostaining for ADP and AR, was performed again, which ultimately led to the diagnosis of SGC. ADP was positive in all 5 cases, and AR was positive in 4 cases. The 3 patients diagnosed with SCC were characterized by a high Ki-67 index, active mitosis, and relatively low differentiation. Conclusion: SGC can be pathologically diagnosed in other cancers, such as SCC and BCC. When SCC was diagnosed, it was often hypo-differentiated and required more attention. Immunostaining for ADP and AR is invaluable for confirming SGC diagnosis.

RESUMEN

Epidermal inclusion cyst (EIC) is a benign lesion rarely discovered within lymph nodes. The present case report introduces an EIC incidentally discovered during an axillary lymph node biopsy in a patient with invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast. A 55-year-old woman presented with a breast mass. Ultrasound revealed a suspicious mass, and a core needle biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of invasive ductal carcinoma. Lumpectomy and sentinel lymph node biopsies were performed. Histopathological examination revealed tumor-free lymph nodes, with one of them harboring a keratinous EIC. EICs typically arise from entrapped epidermal cells. Their presence in lymph nodes is exceptionally rare. While the origin of such inclusions remains unclear, various theories exist, including anomalous embryonic development, implantation, and metaplasia. This report highlights the unique presentation of an EIC within an axillary lymph node. Recognizing this entity is crucial to avoid misdiagnosis of malignancy and unnecessary interventions.

RESUMEN

The role of aquaporin proteins (AQPs) in tumor biology has attracted attention over the past 20 years. However, the expression profiles of AQPs in canine sebaceous gland tumors remain obscure. This study was performed to clarify the expression of AQP1, 3, 5, the most studied AQPs in tumor biology, in sebaceous adenoma and sebaceous epithelioma. Among these AQPs, only AQP3 was expressed in normal tissue and both tumor types and located to only undifferentiated sebocytes (basaloid cells). A cellular proliferation marker, Ki67, was detected only in the area including basaloid cells in both tumor types. These findings suggest that AQP3 is useful for clarifying the origin of sebaceous gland tumors, and that AQP3 may be related to sebaceous gland development.

RESUMEN

Background: Caruncular sebaceous gland hyperplasia (SGH) is an uncommon, benign lesion. Its cause is still unclear. It has not been reported in the pediatric population, with few cases diagnosed in the fourth to eighth decades of life. Case Report: A 6-year-old boy presented with a slowly growing caruncular mass in the right eye. A diagnosis of caruncular SGH was made by histopathology. The clinical, histopathology, treatment, and prognosis are reviewed. Conclusion: This is the first described pediatric case of caruncular SGH that occurs since birth. There are many similarities between adult and pediatric caruncular SGH. Surgical excision is the recommended treatment.

RESUMEN

Skin stem cells (SCs) play a pivotal role in supporting tissue homeostasis. Several types of SCs are responsible for maintaining and regenerating skin tissue. These include bulge SCs and others residing in the interfollicular epidermis, infundibulum, isthmus, sebaceous glands, and sweat glands. The emergence of skin SCs commences during embryogenesis, where multipotent SCs arise from various precursor populations. These early events set the foundation for the diverse pool of SCs that will reside in the adult skin, ready to respond to tissue repair and regeneration demands. A network of molecular cues regulates skin SC behavior, balancing quiescence, self-renewal, and differentiation. The disruption of this delicate equilibrium can lead to SC exhaustion, impaired wound healing, and pathological conditions such as skin cancer. The present review explores the intricate mechanisms governing the development, activation, and differentiation of skin SCs, shedding light on the molecular signaling pathways that drive their fate decisions and skin homeostasis. Unraveling the complexities of these molecular drivers not only enhances our fundamental knowledge of skin biology but also holds promise for developing novel strategies to modulate skin SC fate for regenerative medicine applications, ultimately benefiting patients with skin disorders and injuries.

RESUMEN

Objective: This research aims to explore how Puerariae Lobatae Radix regulates sebaceous gland secretion using network pharmacology, and validate its effects on important targets through animal studies. Methods: This study utilized UPLC-EQ-MS to analyze Puerariae Lobatae Radix extract and identify potential bioactive compounds. Predicted targets of these compounds were obtained from the Swiss Target Prediction database, while targets associated with sebaceous gland secretion were obtained from the GeneCards database. Common targets between the databases were identified and a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was established using the STRING platform. The PPI network was further analyzed using Cytoscape software. Pathway enrichment analysis was performed using Reactome, and molecular docking experiments targeted pivotal pathway proteins. Animal experiments were then conducted to validate the regulatory effects of the primary active compounds of Puerariae Lobatae Radix on key pathway proteins. Results: This research identified 17 active compounds in Puerariae Lobatae Radix and 163 potential targets associated with the regulation of sebum secretion. Pathway enrichment analysis indicates that these targets may modulate lipid metabolism pathways through involvement in peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α, SREB, steroid metabolism, and arachidonic acid metabolism pathways. Molecular docking analysis demonstrates that puerarin and daidzein show favorable binding interactions with key targets in these pathways. Animal experiments demonstrated that the administration of Puerariae Lobatae Radix resulted in a significant reduction in the area of sebaceous gland patches compared to the control group. Histological analysis revealed notable alterations in the structure of sebaceous glands, including reductions in size, thickness, and density. Furthermore, the expression levels of TG, DHT, and IL-6 were significantly decreased in the Puerariae Lobatae Radix group (p < 0.05), and immunoblotting indicated a significant decrease in the expression of PPARG and ACC1 (p < 0.05). Conclusion: This study demonstrates that Puerariae Lobatae Radix can regulate skin lipid metabolism by targeting multiple pathways. The primary mechanism involves inhibiting sebaceous gland growth and reducing TG secretion by modulating the expression of PPARG and ACC1. Puerarin and Daidzein are identified as key bioactive compounds responsible for this regulatory effect. These findings highlight the therapeutic potential of Puerariae Lobatae Radix in addressing sebaceous gland-related conditions.

RESUMEN

Background: Non-melanocytic benign skin tumours encompass a diverse group of lesions, classified based on their cellular origin, such as epidermal, vascular, fibrous, neural, muscle, and adnexal tumours. Though they often reveal solitary lesions, multiple skin tumours focus on genodermatoses. Each syndrome exhibits distinct clinical characteristics and potential complications, including cutaneous and extra-cutaneous malignancies, some of which are potentially life-threatening. Diagnosing genetic syndromes is complex and requires numerous histopathological and immunohistochemistry tests due to similarities between the adnexal tumours and basal cell carcinoma upon pathology. Methods: To illustrate the clinical practice, we conducted a retrospective case study that included eleven patients with genodermatoses referred to a tertiary dermatology clinic from September 2018 to April 2024. We have also conducted a research study on available treatment modalities in this setting. Results: Five patients with excellent aesthetic results were treated using a recently approved FDA plasma device. After searching SCOPUS and PubMed database records, we assessed 96 original articles to present current knowledge regarding the dermato-surgical approach. Conclusions: Multiple skin tumours, especially on the face, may significantly affect patients' quality of life and have psychological consequences. An appropriate treatment selection tailored to the patient's needs should be provided. There is no standardised treatment for multiple benign tumours in genodermatoses, and selected methods with varying efficacy are employed. We presented the utility of a new plasma device in these settings.

RESUMEN

Acne vulgaris is a complex condition involving factors that affect the pilosebaceous unit. A primary manifestation of acne pathology is the development of comedones, often linked to the overproduction of sebum resulting from 5α-dihydrotestosterone (5α-DHT) and insulin activity. Ozenoxacin is a topical quinolone that exhibits potent antibacterial activity against Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes). It is commonly used to treat acne associated with this bacterium; however, its effect on sebum production within the sebaceous glands remains unclear. In this study, the effects of ozenoxacin on sebum production were examined using insulin- and 5α-DHT-differentiated hamster sebocytes. Ozenoxacin showed a dose-dependent inhibition of lipid droplet formation and triacylglycerol (TG) production, which is a major component of sebum. In addition, it suppressed the expression of diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1, stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1, and perilipin-1 mRNA, all important factors involved in sebum synthesis, in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, ozenoxacin decreased phosphorylated 40S ribosomal protein S6 levels downstream of the mechanistic/mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1), without altering the phosphorylation of Akt, an upstream regulator of mTORC1, in both insulin- and 5α-DHT-treated hamster sebocytes. Interestingly, nadifloxacin, but not clindamycin, exhibited a similar suppression of sebum production, albeit with lesser potency compared with ozenoxacin. Furthermore, a topical application of a 2% ozenoxacin-containing lotion to the auricle skin of hamsters did not affect the size of the sebaceous glands or epidermal thickness. Notably, it decreased the amount of TG on the skin surface. The results provide novel insights into the sebum-inhibitory properties of ozenoxacin, indicating its potential efficacy in controlling microbial growth and regulating sebum production for acne management.

RESUMEN

Introduction: Epidermoid cysts (E.C.s), also known as sebaceous cysts, are benign asymptomatic subepidermal nodules filled with keratin material. These cysts originate from the follicular infundibulum, which when obstructed by keratin, results in cyst formation. Conventionally, E.C.s have been managed surgically with a high success rate and minimal complications. In this report, we present the successful resolution of an E.C. using a minimally invasive technique involving the intralesional injection of recombinant hydrolytic enzymes like hyaluronidase, collagenase, and lipase. Case Presentation: A 44-year-old woman with no significant medical history presented to the clinic with a mass on her right cheek that had been evolving for over 10 years. Skin and soft tissue ultrasound confirmed the presence of an E.C. of 9.3×6.6 × 9.3 mm. Owing to the size and location of the cyst, a decision was made to infiltrate the lesion with recombinant enzymes. Remarkably, significant clinical improvement was observed on Day 21, and complete dissolution of the E.C. occurred 40 days after the initial intervention. Importantly, no recurrences were observed during the 4-year follow-up period. Conclusion: Intralesional administration of hydrolytic enzymes represents an innovative technique in the management of E.C.s. However, further controlled studies are required to determine the efficacy and safety of this procedure.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To report the outcomes of platinum-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) for eyelid and periocular sebaceous gland carcinoma (eSGC). METHODS: Retrospective study of 25 patients. RESULTS: The mean age at presentation of eSGC was 59 years. The mean tumor basal diameter was 46 mm. By the 8th edition of AJCC classification, tumors belonged T2 (n = 2, 8%), T3 (n = 6, 24%), and T4 (n = 17, 68%); N1 (n = 12,48%); and M1 (n = 1, 4%). NACT with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and cisplatin/carboplatin was administered in 21 (84%)/4 (16%) patients, respectively. The mean number of cycles of neoadjuvant systemic chemotherapy per patient was 2 (median, 3). The mean percentage reduction of tumor basal volume after neoadjuvant chemotherapy was 65% (median, 60%). After NACT, 12 (48%) patients underwent surgical treatment, 6 (12%) patients underwent EBRT, and 4 (8%) underwent adjuvant chemotherapy. A total of 11 (44%) patients were lost to follow-up during the course of treatment, of whom 3 died from metastatic disease. In 16 patients followed up for ≥ 3 months, complete tumor control was achieved in 11 (69%) patients, local tumor control in 14 (88%), and globe salvage in 7 (44%) at a mean follow-up of 25 months (median, 7 months; range, 3 to 110 months). No tumor recurrence was seen in any case. One (4%) serious adverse event of cardiotoxicity was noted. CONCLUSION: Platinum-based NACT is a suitable option for eSGC with advanced tumors and locoregional metastasis. Adverse events are rare and in patients compliant with treatment, NACT-based combination therapy offers globe salvage and systemic tumor control.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Sebaceous adenitis (SA) is an immune-mediated disease targeting the sebaceous glands. Meibomian gland dysfunction is a disease affecting meibomian glands with inflammatory features. Sebaceous and meibomian glands share anatomical, physiological and embryological similarities. The involvement of meibomian glands in dogs with SA is currently unknown. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate meibomian glands in dogs affected by SA and compare them with healthy dogs. ANIMALS: Eighteen dogs were enrolled. Nine dogs with SA were retrospectively identified from clinical records and represented the case group. Nine healthy, breed- and age-matched dogs were prospectively enrolled in the control group. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Both groups underwent dermatological examination, Schirmer tear test-1 (STT-1), tear meniscus height (TMH), slit-lamp biomicroscopy, interferometry (INT) and noncontact infrared meibography (NIM). RESULTS: One third of SA dogs presented subepithelial crystalline opacities. No significant difference between groups was observed in TMH (p = 0.944) and STT-1 values (p = 0.066). INT (p = 0.016) and NIM grades (p = 0.010) were significantly higher and lower in the SA group compared to the control group, respectively. INT values decreased with age (η = 0.930), while NIM scores (η = 0.935) increased. CONCLUSIONS: Clinical Relevance: Subepithelial crystalline opacities in SA dogs might reflect a reduced tear film quality. In the absence of standardised methods, INT and NIM proved to be noninvasive and useful methods to examine meibomian glands. Dogs with SA showed a thinner lacrimal lipid layer and more severe meibomian gland abnormalities than control dogs, which seemed to progress with age.

RESUMEN

Cattle mange causes extreme itchiness, and the associated stress is an animal welfare concern that leads to economic losses due to decreased cattle productivity and deworming costs. This study investigated the reason why Chorioptic mites, C. bovis and C. texanus, preferentially infest the tail root region (rTR) and performed histological and biochemical analysis focusing on the volatile components of host odors that serve as the starting point for infestation of parasitic arthropods. Skin samples were taken from the rTR, lateral abdominal, and central masseteric, with the latter two designated as comparison sites. The two and three-dimensional histological analysis measured each sebaceous and sweat gland percentage per unit volume. The q-PCR analyzed the expression levels of ALDH1A1 and LOC785756, which are genes associated with volatile odoriferous compounds that serve as repellency and attractive messengers for ticks. Immunohistochemistry stained three sites with anti-androgen binding protein beta-like (ABPß-like), encoded by LOC785756, antibody. The three-dimensional analysis showed that sebaceous glands in the rTR tend to be more continuous and existed in larger masses than in other regions. The expression level of LOC785756 was significantly higher in the rTR, and immunohistochemistry revealed the presence of ABPß-like in the sebaceous gland with strong positive signals in the rTR. These results suggest that C. bovis/texanus selectively infests the rTR because that skin has well-developed sebaceous glands, including a large amount of ABPß-like, which acts as a mite attractant.

RESUMEN

Linear nevus sebaceous syndrome (LNSS) is a neurocutaneous syndrome associated with systemic complications that involve multiple organs, including the skin, central nervous system, eyes, and skeleton. LNSS is considered to be caused by mosaic RAS gene mutation. In this report, we present an autopsy case of LNSS in a Japanese boy. The affected neonate had hydrops fetalis and was born at 28 weeks and 4 days of gestation, weighing 2104 g. He had bilateral inverted eyelids, verrucous linear nevus separated along Blaschko's line, myocardial hypertrophy, and pharyngeal constriction, and underwent intensive treatment in NICU for arrhythmia, hydrocephalus, and respiratory distress. The hydrocephalus progressed gradually and he died at the age of 181 days, 12 days after a sudden cardiac arrest and recovery. KRAS G12D mutation was found in a skin biopsy specimen but not in blood cells, suggesting a postzygotic mosaicism. Autopsy revealed novel pathological findings related to LNSS, including intracranial lipomatous hamartoma and mesenteric lymphangioma, in addition to previously reported findings such as multicystic dysplastic kidney. There was the limited expression of mutated KRAS protein in kidneys.
