Siliconoma successfully controlled with low-dose oral isotretinoin: A case report with histopathologic and ultrasonographic findings

Silicones aka siloxanes are synthetic compounds, which contain siloxane bonds, i.e., the repeat unit –Si-O– with organic side groups such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, phenyl, fluoroalkyl, aminoalkyl, hydroxy, mercapto, hydrogen, and vinyl attached to the silicon atoms. They have ability to create short, long, or complex organosilicone oligomer and polymer particles. The siloxane bond in silicone is very strong and highly stable with nontoxic, noncarcinogenic, and hypoallergic properties. Silicone compounds have become one of the key ingredients in various skin care products namely moisturizers, sunscreen, color cosmetics, hair shampoos, etc. This review focuses on an update on various indications of silicone in dermatology. For this review, the literature search was conducted using keywords such as silicone and role of silicone.

On the other recent advances in a multiomic approach to immuno-oncology have revealed multiple roles of cytokines in oncology and the complex interactions between a tumor and host. 4 Analysis of cytokine responses and their locations has shown that cutaneous T-cell lymphoma is the malignant counterpart of skin resident memory T (T RM ) cells, which are longlived skin resident T-cells. 5 Skin T RM cells comprise CD4 + and CD8 + cell types, which possibly play unusual physiological roles. The similarity in immunologic features and locations of pediatric and adult PR tumor cells suggests that they originate from these subtypes of T RM cells; however, further investigation is needed.
