balloon cell nevus

Introduction

Introduction to balloon cell Ballooncellnevus is named by histological features and occurs mostly in young people under the age of 30, with a diameter rarely exceeding 5 mm. Balloon-shaped cell rafts are called only when balloon cells account for most or even all of melanocytes. basic knowledge The proportion of illness: 0.002% Susceptible people: good for young people under 30 years old Mode of infection: non-infectious Complications: septic shock

Cause

Causes:

The cause is still unknown.

Pathogenesis

The pathogenesis is still unclear.

Prevention

Balloon cell plaque prevention

Pay attention to living and eating, pay attention to daily life.

Complication

Balloon cell complication Complications septic shock

More skin, sputum cells.

Symptom

Balloon-like cell sputum symptoms common symptoms papule itching

1. Very rare, mostly occurs in young people under the age of 30, but can also be seen in middle-aged and elderly people.

2. The lesion is a single light brown, slightly raised papule, soft, rarely exceeding 5 mm in diameter, often occurring in the head, neck, torso, upper limbs and feet.

Examine

Balloon cell sputum examination

Histopathology: intradermal sputum and complex sputum, there are so-called "balloon cells", the melanosomes in the sputum cells are progressively enlarged, caused by vacuolar degeneration, the cells are larger than the sputum cells, and the diameter is 20-40 m. The quality is vacuolized or fine-grained, and it is negative for lipid, glycogen or mucopolysaccharide staining. The nucleus is uniform, small and round, and is often located in the center of the cell.

Only when balloon-shaped cells account for most or even all of melanocytes, they are called balloon-like cell rafts, which are arranged in different sizes in the dermis, and can be scattered or arranged in clusters in the epidermis. Around the lesion, it can also be mixed with balloon cells, and there are two intercellular transition forms.

Immunohistochemistry:

1. Balloon cell melanoma cells are obviously atypical, and nuclear mitosis is more common.

2. The clear cell tumor balloon cell-like balloon-like cells stained positive for S-100 protein.

Diagnosis

Diagnosis and identification of balloon cell

According to the clinical manifestations, the characteristics of skin lesions and histopathological features can be diagnosed.
