Article Abstract
This case report describes a rare occurrence of inverted follicular keratosis (IFK) in a 27-year-old woman who had a single lesion on the left side of her nose. IFK, which primarily affects older males, is a harmless condition that involves the hair follicles and sebaceous ducts. The patient's lesion, with a size of 0.4 x 0.3 x 0.3 cm, was surgically removed and subsequently identified as IFK through histopathological analysis. This case underscores the significance of including IFK in the list of potential causes for solitary keratotic lesions in younger patients and emphasizes the need for histopathological analysis to ensure an accurate diagnosis. After the surgical removal, the patient did not experience any return of the condition, which aligns with the positive outlook described in the medical literature.

Background: Ulceroproliferative lesions involving the eyelids can be due to several causes, chief among them being squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). It is imperative to distinguish it from various mimics owing to the limited surgical therapy that can be offered at the site. Inverted follicular keratosis (IFK) is a rare benign epidermal tumor that arises from the infundibular portion of the hair follicle.

Inverted Follicular Keratosis (IFK) is a uncommon benign tumor, that presents a diagnostic challenge because of its varied clinical and histological appearance. This study aimed to dissect the clinical and pathological features of IFK in patients who have been presented to a tertiary care hospital for five years. Through a cross-sectional analysis, the medical records of 56 patients diagnosed with IFK for four years were meticulously reviewed.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the role of TRAb in the angiogenesis associated with Graves' disease (GD) and to elucidate its underlying mechanisms.
Methods: Human thyroid follicular epithelial cells (Nthy-ori 3-1) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were treated with the monoclonal thyroid-stimulating antibody M22 and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) at various concentrations. Cell viability, migration, and tube formation were evaluated using CCK-8, wound healing, and tube formation assays, respectively.
