DEF

Acquired cholesteatoma is a saclike structure within the middle ear that is lined by keratinized, stratified, squamous epithelium and that contains desquamated epithelium or keratin.

CONT

Further, surgical observations lead us to the opinion that at least some so-called "acquired" cholesteatomas may actually have their origins as congenital cholesteatomas. When generally removed, small and mid-sized congenital cholesteatomas demonstrate completely normal middle ear mucosa at surgery.

Développées «autour de la dernière phalange de chaque doigt,» les «griffes» sont, comme les poils, des «formations kératinisées uniquement épidermiques». Du côté dorsal, la peau présente un puits, la «matrice» de la griffe, dans lequel l'activité de la couche de Malphigi produit des cellules cornées qui, refoulées vers l'extrémité distale de la phalange, forment la «muraille», ou plaque, de la griffe [...] Au-delà de la matrice se situe une zone stérile sur laquelle glisse la griffe qui est épaissie, à l'extrémité de la phalange, par l'apposition de nouvelles cellules kératinisées.
