= proportional to lifetime sun exposure (UV light)

93
Q

SCC risk factors after sun exposure

Q

BCC what do you see

A

101
Q

Rodent ulcers

A

Basically eat off the face of the person and grows huge

102
Q

SHH role in PTCH and BCC

A

Unregulated SHH binds to PTCH so it CANT ——I SMO activity
SMO = activated TFs
(Mutation in BCC causes the PTCH to be constantly bound to and SMO is active all the time = Gorlin syndrome and sporadic bcc

There can also be loss of function PTCH and it cant block SMO (UV damage not fixed)

103
Q

Dermatofibroma (Benign Fibrous Histocytoma)

A

= BENIGN Adults, legs (middle age women)
= + dimple sign (press around the lesion towards it and it depressed down the skin (dos not squeeze down)**
= trauma, injury, inflammation response
= firm tan papules (flattens with time)

104
Q

Dermatofibroma histology (what do I see in the slide)

A

Spindle shaped cells, non-encapsulated mass in dermis
Epithelium above it is hyperplasia
elongated rete ridges that are hyperpigmented = Pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia
= collagen + fibroblasts

105
Q

Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans (DFSP)
Mutation causing this
What is it

A

Primary fibrosarcoma (hardening of soft tissue)
Slow aggressive localized,
COL1A1 + PDGFB (plt-derived factor B) mutation = tumor cell growth
= protuberant nodules usual in trunk, firm (can form plaque or ulcer)

106
Q

Dermatofibrosacroma Protuberans TX

A

PDGF-B receptor Tyrosine Kinase inhibitor (lifetime)

107
Q

Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans (DFSP) looks like what and histology

UV light therapy, topical steroids, or chemo if needed

113
Q

Mastocytosis

A

Urticaria Pigmentosa
Common in children
