ABSTRACT
This report presents a rare case of a giant Nevus Lipomatosus Cutaneous Superficialis (NLCS) on the vulva of a 38-year-old female. The patient underwent excisional surgery and electrodesiccation for complete lesion removal. Recurrence following CO2 laser treatment was observed. The study highlights the challenges in managing large NLCS lesions in challenging locations and emphasizes the importance of combining surgical excision and electrodesiccation for successful treatment. Further research and reported cases are needed to enhance our understanding of this rare condition and guide optimal treatment strategies.
ABSTRACT
Little is known about how Drosophila adults behave in the wild, including mating, allocation of food and space, and escape from predators. This lack of information has negative implications for our ability to understand the capabilities of the nervous system to integrate sensory cues necessary for the adaptation of organisms in natural conditions. We characterized a set of behavioral routines of D. melanogaster and D. simulans adults in three ecologically different orchards: grape, apple and prickly pear. We also investigated how the flies identify conspecifics and aliens in the wild to better understand relationships between group formation and adaptation of Drosophila to breeding sites. We characterized the locations by recording in each orchard humidity, temperature, illumination conditions, pH of fruits, the presence/absence of other Drosophila species and the predator ant Linepithema humile. Our findings suggest that the home range of these species of Drosophila includes decaying fruits and, principally, a variety of microhabitats that surround the fruits. The ecological heterogeneity of the orchards and odors emitted by adult D. melanogaster and D. simulans influence perch preferences, cluster formation, court and mating, egg-laying site selection, and use of space. This is one of the first large examinations of the association between changing, complex environments and a set of adult behaviors of Drosophila. Therefore, our results have implications for understanding the genetic differentiation and evolution of populations of species in the genus Drosophila.

La acantosis nigricans es un síndrome que afecta tanto la piel como las mucosas que se caracteriza por lesiones papilomatosas en mucosa bucal y alteraciones pigmentadas de la piel. Puede encontrarse con o sin asociación a neoplasia maligna, generalmente adenocarcinoma gástrico. Las manifestaciones bucales de este padecimiento, son más comunes cuando se encuentra asociada a neoplasia maligna y, se caracterizan por proliferaciones papilomatosas en labio, encías y lengua. El tratamiento es sintomático y al tratar la neoplasia subyacente se pueden llegar a resolver las lesiones de piel y de la boca. En el presente trabajo se describe un caso clínico asociado a adenocarcinoma de endometrio, destacando las manifestaciones bucales de la lesión de importancia para el estomatólogo de práctica general para que después de sea enviado al servicio correspondiente.
The acantosis nigricans is a syndrome that affects both the skin and the mucousas ones that are characterized by papilomatosus injuries in mucousae of the mouth and pigmented alterations of the skin. It can be with or without association to malignant neoplasia,, generally adenocarcinoma gastric. The mouth manifestations of this suffering, are more common when it is associated to malignant neoplasia and, are characterized by polilomatosus proliferations in lip, gums and tongue. The treatment is symptomatic and on having treated the neoplasia there can manage to be solved the injuries of skin and of the mouth. In the present work a clinical case is described, emphasizing the mouth manifestations of the injury of importance for the dentist for a good channeling of patiently and suitable attention.
