AI Article Synopsis
- Trichostasis spinulosa is a rare skin condition affecting hair follicles, leading to the accumulation of dormant (telogen) hairs.
- It is noticeable when formations of hair tufts protrude from these enlarged follicles.
- The case discussed involves trichostasis spinulosa linked with benign pigmented skin lesions (intradermal melanocytic nevi), and dermoscopy is used to diagnose the condition effectively.
Article Abstract
Trichostasis spinulosa is a rarely diagnosed disorder of the pilosebaceous unit, characterized by retention of telogen hairs within the dilated follicles. A hair tuft can be seen protruding from the follicles. We present a case of trichostasis spinulosa associated with intradermal melanocytic nevi, where dermoscopy helps to identify this entity.

Early detection of occult spinal dysraphism, such as diastematomyelia with tethered cord, is vital to prevent neurological damage. Though rarely diagnosed in the neonatal period, cutaneous stigmata can aid early identification. Utilizing neonatal ultrasound enables timely management and multidisciplinary intervention.

Relatively more-apparent body parts are often used to name relatively less-apparent body parts. To explore this etymological phenomenon, this report assesses anatomical terminology derived from some of the most apparent structures of the human body-hairs. Hair-related anatomical terminology involves varied etymons, roots, and derivatives: calvus "bald," cilia "eyelashes," glaber "hairless," pilus "hair," pubes (historically referring to the developing beard), pudendum "modesty" (referring to hair growth that covers genitalia), tempus "time" (referring to the location where hair commonly grays, thus showing a person's age), and tragus "goat" (referring to the tuft of hair that resembles the beard of a goat).

Mature teratomas, also known as ovarian dermoid cysts, are benign embryonal tumors that develop slowly. One of the following imaging techniques is commonly employed to evaluate these cysts: transvaginal ultrasound, pelvic ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging, or computed tomography. The two surgical methods most frequently used for removing persistent or very large cysts are laparoscopy and laparotomy.
