    Description: Fatal skin necrosis, induced by heparin. Skin necrosis is the pathologic death of one or more cells, or of a portion of tissue or organ, resulting from irreversible damage; earliest irreversible changesare mitochondrial, consisting of swelling and granular calcium deposits seen by electron microscopy; most frequent visible alterationsare nuclear: pyknosis, shrunken and abnormally dark basophilic staining; karyolysis, swollen and abnormally pale basophilic staining;or karyorrhexis, rupture, and fragmentation of the nucleus. After such changes, the outlines of individual cells are indistinct, andaffected cells may merge, sometimes forming a focus of coarsely granular, amorphous, or hyaline material

  2. Dermatology: Basal Cell Carcinoma

    show more
    Description: A malignant skin neoplasm that seldom metastasizes but has potentialities for local invasion and destruction. Clinically it is divided into types: nodular, cicatricial, morphaic, and erythematoid (pagetoid). They develop on hair-bearing skin, most commonly on sun-exposed areas. Approximately 85% are found on the head and neck area and the remaining 15% on the trunk and limbs. (From DeVita Jr et al., Cancer: Principles & Practice of Oncology, 3d ed, p1471)
