Multiple Scrotal Cysts Composed of Combined Syringomas and Epidermal Inclusion Cysts: A Previously Unreported Association.

The American Journal of Dermatopathology
My Diep, David S Cassarino

Abstract

Epidermal inclusion cyst (EIC) and syringoma are both benign lesions that are primarily asymptomatic and occur at various places on the body. Although both EIC and syringoma are common, their joint appearance has not been previously reported. These benign proliferations target different populations, and with differing clinical presentations. Syringomas tend to develop in young females as smaller multiple lesions, while EICs often present in older males as single or multiple variants that are typically larger in size. They also possess distinctive histopathological appearances that can used for their diagnosis. Furthermore, despite both having unclear etiologies, the involvement of the eccrine duct has been a proposed mechanism in the development of both lesions. Thus, further investigation of eccrine ducts in the pathology of these lesions can be the basis for assessing the association between EICs and syringomas. We report a unique case of a 16-year-old boy who presented to the clinic with multiple cysts (at least 20) on the scrotum, most of which consisted of both EIC and syringoma histologically. We are not aware of any previous reports of patients with multiple combined syringomas and EICs, and their potential association s...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
