..However, no data on aldosterone levels in patients with AGA have been published to date...

..A case of a syringocystoadema papilliferum associated with apocrine hydrocystoma and verruca is presented. It is unusual to see the occurrence of three histopathologic types of tumors coexisting in one cutaneous lesion...

..The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and carotid arteriosclerosis in patients with early-onset androgenetic alopecia...

..However, only 3 studies have addressed this association in female patients. Most studies considered the risk of myocardial infarction or mortality as a result of heart disease, without analyzing cardiovascular risk factors...

..Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) and benign prostatic hyperplasia are both androgen-dependent entities that respond to the blocking of 5-alpha-reductase...

..Recently, a case-control study found that lichen planus (LP) was associated with dyslipidaemia in a large series of patients. However, no data were presented about lipid values in patients and controls...

..Multiple eccrine hidrocystomas of de upper lip are bening cystic lesions that are associated with a chronic course. It is reported in the literature as a rare pathology...

..Recently a case-control study found that lichen planus was associated with dyslipidemia in a large series of patients. However, no data were presented about lipid values, glucose levels, or blood pressure...

..AGA can be associated with low levels of SHBG and insulin resistance, which could be related to hyperglycemia and type 2 diabetes...

..This regimen eradicates a high percentage of tumors and reduces local adverse effects, which are poorly tolerated by aged skin...

..The elevated lipid values in these patients may contribute, alongside other mechanisms, to the development of cardiovascular disease in patient with androgenic alopecia...

..However, no data on blood pressure (BP) and aldosterone levels in women with AGA have been published to date...

..We present an infrequent case of dermatofibroma with a vascular pattern resembling hemangiopericytoma and the presence of abundant mast cells, which may be responsible for this vascular component...

..We present a benign lesion that clinically reproduces a breast carcinoma. KEYWORDS: Granular cell tumor; Breast; Differential diagnosis; Cutaneous...

..However, FMPS is significantly superior in the identification of collagen fibers. The FMPS method combines morphological and histochemical parameters that could be useful in the study of pigmented lesions of melanocytic origin...

..It had grown rapidly in the last month. After surgical excision the histological study confirmed the diagnosis of a polypoid dermatofibroma...

..The objective of this article is to provide a clear review of research into the range of MLT functions, focusing specifically on MT receptors. We aim to contribute interesting, new approaches to research into oral cavity tumours...

..Smoothelin is a cytoskeletal protein of differentiated smooth muscle cells with contractile capacity, distinguishing it from other smooth muscle proteins, such as smooth muscle actin (SMA)...

..The rest of her cutaneous exam was normal. There was no family history of any similar tumor...

..We report the first case of malignant melanoma with an intense and diffuse pattern of dyscohesion, resembling acantholysis. Recognition of this histologic pattern in malignant melanoma is important to avoid a misdiagnosis...

..We discuss some of the difficulties of diagnosis and histological evolution of the lesion. KEYWORDS: Myositis ossificans; Thigh; Differential diagnosis; Nontraumatic...
