AI Article Synopsis
- A 77-year-old woman had a blue-black nodule on her left upper eyelid that was examined using dermoscopy.
- The examination revealed characteristics similar to apocrine gland cysts and trichoblastoma.
- After surgical removal, it was diagnosed as a collision of both an apocrine gland cyst and a trichoblastoma, highlighting that trichoblastoma may also show a yellow-whitish structure in dermoscopic images.
Article Abstract
We report a case of a blue-black nodule on the left upper eyelid of a 77-year-old woman. Dermoscopic examination of the lesion revealed a purple or purple-red homogenous opaque area like that often observed in apocrine gland cysts and a yellow-whitish homogenous structure with arborizing vessels. After resection of the tumor, a final diagnosis of collision of an apocrine gland cyst and a trichoblastoma was made. We should note the possibility that trichoblastoma may exhibit a yellow-whitish homogenous structure in dermoscopy.

Deep cutaneous wounds, which are difficult to heal and specifically occur on dynamic body surfaces, remain a substantial healthcare challenge in clinical practice because of multiple underlying factors, including excessive reactive oxygen species, potential bacterial infection, and extensive degradation of the extracellular matrix (ECM) which further leads to the progressive deterioration of the wound microenvironment. Any available individual wound therapy, such as antibiotic-loaded cotton gauze, cannot address all these issues. Engineering an advanced multifunctional wound dressing is the current need to promote the overall healing process of such wounds.

Background/objective: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting apocrine gland areas, characterized by painful nodules and abscesses that may result in sinus tracts and scarring. The global prevalence of HS is increasing due to heightened awareness, improved diagnostic methods, rising obesity rates, and higher smoking prevalence. This study aimed to describe the epidemiological, clinical, and comorbid characteristics of HS patients.

Breast cancer (BC) is classified based on the expression of histopathological markers, namely, estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PgR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). Carcinomas with apocrine differentiation (CAD) are classified based on morphology. Androgen receptor (AR) is highly expressed in CAD; however, no study has comprehensively examined AR-related proteins in CAD.
