granulosum, lucidum & corneum (superficial).
• keratinised, stratified squamous epithelium;
• -Keratinocytes grow and are replaced by mitoses in
stratum granulosum
• -strata lucidum; granulosum and spinosum: :Thick in
glabrous skin and absent in eyelid skin.
Melanocytes :
• dendritic cells / neural crest origin,
• located in basal epidermis.
• Melanin - transferred via membrane processes
• transferred to keratinocytes in the strata
granulosum and spinosum.
• Ethnic diff in skin colour --By distribution of

Editor's Notes

  • #3 Epidermis: -5% of the skin -five layers - strata:basalis (deep), spinosum, granulosum, lucidum & corneum (superficial). -keratinised, stratified squamous epithelium; -Keratinocytes grow and are replaced by mitoses in stratum granulosum -strata lucidum; granulosum and spinosum: :Thick in glabrous skin and absent in eyelid skin.
  • #5 Eccrine glands distributed throughout the entire body surface,except in lips. secrete sweat in response to emotion or during thermoregulation. Apocrine glands secretion. in response to emotion and hormone/ become active at puberty. found in the axillae and groins secretion,- malodourous after bacterial degradation,
  • #10 Neurofibromatosis Schwann cells form tumours 70% -autosomal dominant /30% sporadic mutations. Chromosomes 17 gene mutation Naevoid basal cell carcinoma (Gorlin’s) syndrome autosomal dominant abnormal tumour suppressor gene on Ch. 9q 22-31 coding - ‘patched’ protein. c/f multiple basal cell carcinomas (BCCs). Head - over-developed supraorbital ridges; broad nasal roots; hyperteliorism; molar odontogeniccysts. Trunk - bifid ribs; scoliosis; Hand - brachymetacarpalism; palmar pits Xeroderma pigmentosum abnormality on the ‘patched’ gene of Ch. 9q aberrant nucleotide repair during cellular DNA maintenance .>2000-fold increase in skin cancer risk autosomal recessive (60% mortality by 20 years of age). Gardner’s syndrome autosomal dominant disease variant of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) abnormal gene on Ch. 5. multiple epidermoid cysts and lipomata. Ferguson-Smith syndrome autosomal-dominantly / Ch. 9q abnormality develop multiple self-healing squamous cell carcinomas (SCC).
  • #14 Lipodystrophy a localised or generalised loss of fatty tissue, complication of long-term administration of insulin, treatmen with protease inhibitors in hiv transplant recipients. treated by by autologous fat grafting, injections of poly-L-lactic acid free tissue transfer.

  • #18   Necrotising fasciitis Meleney’s synergistic gangrene and Fournier’s gangrene are variants synergistic, polymicrobial infection;MC streptococcal species (Group A β-haemolytic) C/F : oedema beyond skin erythema; & woody-hard texture OF SC tissues; cant distinguish fascial plane & muscle; disproportionate pain N skin vesicles & softtissue crepitus Lymphangitis - absent. Xray air in sc tissues Mx : surgical – excise till bleeding tissues , antibiotics ,VAC dressings, early skin grafting Mortality - 30% and 50%
  • #28 Basal cell carcinoma Malignant tumour of epithelial cells of basal epidermis and hair follicles; MC men than women. 95% cases - 40 and 80 yrs 33% arise in parts of body not sunexposed .Nodular and nodulocystic - 90% of BCC Main Predisposing factor – UVR / sun exposure, Other predisposing factors arsenic,coal tar, aromatic hydrocarbons, ionising radiation and genetic skin cancer syndromes. BCC is divided into Localized variety :1. nodular;2. nodulocystic;3. cystic;4. pigmented and 5. naevoid generalised -superficial: 1.multifocal & 2.superficial spreading; infiltrative: 1.morphoeic,2. ice pick and 3. cicatrizing microscopic 26 subtypes Diagnostic : ovoid cells in nests with a single ‘palisading’ layer. only the outer layer divide, Morphoeic BCCs synthe size type 4 collagenase and so spread rapidly Prognosis ; 1.‘low-risk’ 2,high-risk’ large (>2 cm); (near the eye, nose and ear); Recurrent tumours; presence of immunosuppression; micronodular or infiltrating subtypes. MANAGEMENT two-stage surgical approach OR Mohs’ micrographic surgery IF margins are ill-defined, or tissue at a premium (nose, eyes) excision margin between 2 and15 mm, depending on the macroscopic variant. recurrence rate –67% if margins grossly + / 33% microscopic + or reported ‘close’ radiotherapy elderly or infirm patients, similar recurrence rates to surgery risk of generating further malignancy after 1–2 decades. 5-fluorouracil, imquimod Biopsy-proven, superficial tumours Follow-up is reserved for Lesion In high-risk areas; in sun-damaged skin; with syndromes; in who decline further surgery after incomplete excisions.
  • #31 recurrence rate –67% if margins grossly + / 33% microscopic + or reported ‘close’
  • #47 horizontal growth phase, cells spread along the dermo-epidermal junction /migration is radial. vertical growth phase: dermis maybe invaded.
  • #49   ADJUVANT THERAPY FOR UNRESECTABLE AND METASTATIC MM. 50% of MM has B-RAF V600 mutations. dabrafenib or vemurafenib, Targeted therapy in stage IV melanoma promising results block B-RAF action Trametinib different action on the MAPK ( mitogen activated protein kinase )- stops cell growth & promotes apoptosis. Combined use with dabrafenib counter acquired tumour resistance via MAPK pathway reactivation, good results in stage 4 disease. ipilimumab or nivolimumab immune checkpoint inhibitors good result in metastatic or unresectable melanoma.
  • #56 angiosomes 3d segments of tissue -with an arterial supply and a venous drainage. Blood flows between neighbouring angiosomes by choke vessels ‘choke’ vessels, - situated within muscles. Blood supply to the skin anastomoses in subfascial, fascial, subdermal, dermal and subepidermal plexi. Epidermis has no blood vessels/ cells nourish by diffusion. venous drainage is via both valved and unvalved veins. Unvalved veins allow oscillating flow in the subdermal plexus
