“…In addition, the other cellular hallmarks of the tumor-promoting chronic ACD environment were present in the patient's lesional skin, as shown by a marked increase in blood vessels, M2 macrophages, and mast cells (Figure 3, B and C, and Supplemental Figures 6 and 7). Importantly, the inflammation was not has been reported to precede the development of such cancers (25,26). Our findings provide a mechanistic explanation for skin cancer development in these clinical contexts.…”

“…Autoimmune reactions to various ink components are also described. One small trial estimated that 2.1% of tattoos develop infectious, allergic or granulomatous reactions [10]. However, the incidence of tumorous reactions within tattoos is so rare that it is not currently described.…”

Background: There has been a longstanding debate regarding whether keratoacanthomas (KAs) are neoplastic or reactive/inflammatory lesions. Aim: The aim of this case report is to, within the aforementioned debate, offer support in favor of the potential reactive nature of keratoacanthomas. Case Presentation: A 64-year-old male presented with an eruption of 25 keratoacanthomas within a red ink tattoo. Eruptions were partially resolved over a matter of months, and completely resolved with treatment using oral Acitretin therapy. We believe this to be the third such reported case of eruptive KAs within only the red ink portions of a tattoo. Prior cases involved 2 and 8 KAs each. Discussion: Multiple studies suggest that KAs are neoplastic in nature and very distinct from cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. Especially interesting is the finding that KAs have increased expression of apoptotic genes; this is particularly notable because of the tendency for these lesions to spontaneously involute. Skin tumorigenesis can occur in predisposed individuals after carcinogen exposure, thus red ink possesses theoretical potential as a carcinogen. KAs could be seen in this case as in fact a reactive neoplasm.

“…Numerosas complicaciones que van desde dolor e inflamación de la piel hasta infecciones sisté-micas graves por microorganismos bacterianos y virales han sido asociados a los tatuajes (Arons et al 1992;Ghorpade 2009;Brandsma et al 2005, Drage et al 2009Juhas et al 2013, Nishioka et al 2001Kazandjieva et al, 2007;Lehner et al, 2011), debido a una insuficiente higiene personal, por la falta de desinfección en los establecimientos que realizan tatuajes (Kazandjieva et al, 2007) o alergias asociadas al pigmento de carbón (Lehner et al, 2011). Es posible pensar que la práctica antigua del tatuaje, posiblemente al carecer de los protocolos de esterilidad e higiene que se manejan hoy en día, pudo haber sido realizado con agujas y pigmentos contaminados, lo que pudo haber ocasionado diversas infecciones en el organismo, sin embargo en las momias Paracas es notorio que sobre la piel momificada no se hayan encontrado alteraciones dérmicas asociadas a los tatuajes que sugieran algún tipo de reacción o enfermedad.…”

RESUMENEl tatuaje es un tipo de modificación cultural del cuerpo que consiste en insertar tinta dentro de las capas dérmicas a través de una aguja u otro material. La práctica del tatuaje causa un trauma en la piel con el objetivo de ejecutar un diseño conocido, cuyo resultado es una marca indeleble en el cuerpo. Este artículo analiza las consecuencias paleopatológicas del tatuaje en un conjunto de momias tatuadas del periodo Paracas Necrópolis procedentes del Cementerio de Warikayan, localizado en la costa sur del Perú. A partir de los resultados obtenidos de los análisis bioarqueológicos, complementados con los análisis de tatuajes mediante microscopia óptica, fluorescencia de rayos X y reflectografía infrarroja, se localizan los tatuajes y se inspeccionan en busca de lesiones derivadas de la práctica de modificación cultural. Los resultados indican que el 43% de los individuos Paracas analizados tiene tatuajes. Las localizaciones más frecuente para los tatuajes eran el dorso y la palma de la mano (21%), los dedos de la mano (16%) y el antebrazo (14%), Se ha encontrado una prevalencia de tatuajes considerablemente alta en mujeres. El pigmento utilizado es el carbón y debido a la similitud de los diseños tatuados con aquellos registrados en mantos textiles y vasijas cerámicas de la cultura Paracas, es posible pensar que los tatuajes están relacionados con el estatus social.Palabras clave: Tatuajes, Paracas, Necrópolis, paleopatología, tejido blando ABSTRACT Tattoos are intentional body modifications that describes the implantation of pigment into the dermis by a needle or other material. Tattooing cause trauma to the skin in order to execute a specific design. The result is an indelible mark in the skin. This article analyzes the paleopathological implications of tattooing and presents the results of the optical microscopy analisys, X-ray fluorescence and infrared Reflectography performed on a set of tattooed mummies from the Paracas Cemetery of Warikayan, located on the southern coast of Peru. All individuals analyzed are from the Paracas Necropolis period. The results indicate that 43 % of the Paracas population had tattoos. The most common locations for tattoos were the hand (21%), the fingers (16 %) and forearm (14%). There was a significantly high prevalence of tattoos on women. The pigment used is coal. The similarity of the designs tattooed with those recorded in textiles and ceramic Paracas suggest that tattoos were associated with social status before they used as medical therapy
