OBJECTIVE
We describe here a series of selected patients from an established vaginitis research clinic diagnosed with vulvovestibulitis (VV) who underwent surgical intervention for focal disease. Long-term results of surgical correction are reported and characteristic histopathology findings
OBJECTIVE
To observe the histopathological change of conjunctivochalasis.
METHODS
Conjunctival tissue was collected from 17 patients with conjunctivochalasis and 15 simple cataract patients. By HE/Verhoeff elastic fiber staining, the histopathological changes of conjunctival tissues in the patients
Examination of biopsy specimens secured during endoscopy of 70 patients in the terminal stage of chronic renal failure revealed abnormalities characteristic of chronic esophagitis, viz. hyper- and parakeratosis, basal-cell proliferation, acanthotic outgrowths, epithelial thickening, vacuolated cells
BACKGROUND
Chewing qat leaves (takhzeen al-qat) is a common habit in East Africa and Yemen. It has been reported to cause different systemic effects. At the oral mucosa, it causes clinical changes that appear as white lesions. The aim of this paper was to study the histopathological changes in the
The evolution, maturation, and regression of lesions of psoriasis were studied histologically. The earliest histologic changes in pinhead-sized macules of psoriasis consist of a superficial perivascular infiltrate of lymphocytes and histiocytes and dilation and tortuosity of the blood vessels in the
An acute zinc deficiency state developed in 6 patients on total parenteral alimentation, which allegedly included zinc 37 mumol/l. The actual concentration of this trace element when measured by us, was 3 mumol/l. The clinical picture consisted of an acrodermatitis enteropathica-like syndrome, with
Measles skin rash was immunohistochemically examined in an effort to detect virus antigen in skin samples taken from a 15-year-old girl with measles. A sectioned specimen obtained by punch biopsy from a 2nd-day skin lesion showed localized parakeratosis and acanthosis with multinucleated giant cells
We report a healthy 16-year-old Caucasian boy, who consulted us for white, asymptomatic lesions in the mouth. The lesions were stable and had been present for 6 years. On physical examination, there were diffuse white, soft, corrugated plaques involving the buccal and labial mucosa, oral
Some epidermal alterations in measles has been described, such as keratinocytes apoptotic, parakeratosis, giant-cell formation, intranuclear and cytoplasmic inclusions, dyskeratosis, spongiosis, and intracellular edema. The authors report for the first time in human a case of measles with the
Structural reorganization of the buccal mucosa and changes in proliferative activity of epitheliocytes in typical and erosive ulcerative lichen planus were studied. The most manifest diagnostically significant pathomorphological signs of lichen planus of the buccal mucosa are described: acanthosis,
Prolonged topical trifluridine treatment of herpes simplex keratitis in three elderly patients produced slightly raised dysplastic corneal epithelial lesions. The involved epithelium had a ground-glass appearance and exhibited opaque cells, edema, and spindle-shaped surface cells. Histopathology
Grover disease (GD) is a rather common papular pruritic dermatosis that can be transient, persistent, or asymptomatic. The microscopic diagnosis of clinically suspected lesions can be challenging because GD can adopt different patterns, and involved areas are generally admitted to be mostly focal.
The purpose of this study was to determine the protective effect of octreotide against oxidative damage in rabbit conjunctiva and cornea exposed to ultraviolet radiation. Twenty rabbits weighing 2,500-3,000 g were used and we divided them into 4 groups with randomly selected 5 rabbits. Rabbits were
Papular acrodermatitis of childhood (Gianotti-Crosti syndrome) is an uncommon, self-limited disease characterized by an erythematous papular eruption symmetrically distributed on the face and limbs and mild lymphadenopathy, thought to be of viral origin. The histopathologic findings are nonspecific
The dermatopathologist is sometimes confronted with a single lesion biopsy showing the histopathology of a lichen planus (LP) taken from a patient having no further clinical signs of LP. This entity represents the 'solitary lichenoid benign keratosis' (SLBK). We report about 202 patients with 204
