Mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis testis is rare, often high-grade, and has a median survival of about 24 months.
research DP18 A mimicker of melanoma on sun-exposed sites
Melanocytic matricoma can look like skin cancer but is usually harmless; surgery and follow-up are advised.
research Multipotent nestin-expressing stem cells capable of forming neurons are located in the upper, middle and lower part of the vibrissa hair follicle
Stem cells in hair follicles can become neurons and other cells, especially in the upper part, useful for nerve repair.
