Research paper thumbnail of Histological study of eyelid hidrocystoma: A clinical case

SAGE Open Medical Case Reports

Hidrocystomas are benign lesions with frequent localization on the eyelids and common appearance ... more Hidrocystomas are benign lesions with frequent localization on the eyelids and common appearance as isolated translucent cystic lesions. The multiple and bilateral localization has been associated with systemic diseases or epidermodysplasia. The histological and ultrastructural study contributes to the distinction in eccrine or apocrine. In this clinical case, multiple bilateral skin lesions of the eyelids were removed surgically from a 55-year-old male patient with free medical history. The lesions were fully removed surgically without rupture of the cysts. The obtained tissues were fixed and prepared for an anatomical pathology study as well as observation under the electron microscope. The histological study revealed cystic lesions with low cuboid epithelium and presence of cells and collagen fibrils, while the ultrastructural study also revealed the presence of apoptotic and secretory cells as well as vacuolization of the cytoplasm. No relapse of the lesions was obtained. In con...

As long as hair follicles are not destroyed, the potential for hair regrowth remains. Alopecia universalis is a severe form of AA and the chance of full hair regrowth is below 10%. We present a case of a 55-year-old woman with longstanding AA, who presented to the Outpatient Clinic of our Hospital Unit with almost full eyelashes and hair regrowth after an emotional stressful event. She reported no hair regrowth for the last 35 years. There are few case reports which have exhibited that hair follicles are still alive and may be reactivated after many years.

In the past, another SARS coronavirus, the SARS-CoV, caused severe and even fatal respiratory illness as well. Ocular involvement has been reported for both these viruses. This review aims to highlight similarities and differences between these coronaviruses, focusing mainly on ocular findings. We wish that this article will lead to further analysis of the continuously emerging new data.
