Definition: Adenodermia refers to an abnormal development of skin cells that are usually associated with the skin of the ear, nose or mouth. The term "adenodermia" can be used to describe any abnormal layer of cells in the skin, especially those that produce keratin proteins (the building blocks for hair and nails) or other substances that contribute to the formation of a specific type of skin cell called an epithelial cell. The definition of adenodermia is complex due to its heterogeneity. Adenocytes are cells that secrete hormones and enzymes, and in some cases, they produce proteins that are involved in wound healing. Adenoepithelium or epidermal cells can be present in the skin, as well as in other parts of the body. The term "adenoepithelial" refers to a type of epithelial cell found in the skin. The combination of keratin and epinephrine is responsible for the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which stimulates hair growth, and also releases certain hormones that help with wound healing. Adenomatous polypoid keratitis, or adenoepithelioma, are benign tumors that can develop on skin, as well as other parts of the body. Adenoepithelial cells play a role in the regulation of blood pressure and can be found in the lining of the digestive system, in the skin, and in other tissues. Adenomatous polypoid keratitis is an example of such a disorder, which causes inflammation of the lining of the eye (mucosa) and affects the cornea. In summary, adenodermia refers to an abnormal development of skin cells that are associated with the ear, nose or mouth, usually resulting from the production of keratin proteins. Adenoepithelial cells can be present in the skin as well as other parts of the body, contributing to wound healing and regulating blood pressure.
