  • Malignant Eccrine Adenoma with Sarcomatous (Heterologous) Components: Report of a Rare Skin Adnexal Neoplasm with Literature Review
    Open Access Case Report DOI: 10.7759/cureus.12390 Malignant Eccrine Adenoma With Sarcomatous (Heterologous) Components: Report of a Rare Skin Adnexal Neoplasm With Literature Review Hira Ishtiaq 1 , Muhammad Abdulwaasey 1 , Muhammad Usman Tariq 1 , Saira Fatima 2 1. Histopathology, Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, PAK 2. Histopathology, Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, PAK Corresponding author: Muhammad Usman Tariq, [email protected] Abstract Malignant eccrine spiradenoma (MES) is an exceedingly rare skin adnexal tumor that arises from pre- existing benign eccrine spiradenoma (BES). MES tumors show a wide spectrum of morphological features, posing a diagnostic challenge to the pathologist. Sarcomatous (heterologous) elements are seen in a few of these tumors, further complicating the morphological picture. We herein describe a case of a 66-year-old male who presented with a recently enlarging, ulcerated, nodular skin lesion over the right leg that had been present for the last 25 years. The patient underwent wide local excision of the tumor. Microscopic examination revealed a neoplastic lesion comprising benign and malignant components. The carcinomatous component showed features of infiltrating adenocarcinoma, not otherwise specified, whereas the sarcomatous component showed predominant osteosarcomatous and focal chondrosarcomatous differentiation. The benign component showed morphological and immunohistochemical features of BES. No adjuvant treatment was administered. The patient was alive and disease-free for 14 months, after which he was lost to follow-up. Careful identification and knowledge related to histological diversity are keys to the correct diagnosis of this rare tumor. MESs are potentially aggressive tumors, and therefore, close long-term follow-up should be maintained.

ABSTRACT Malignant Nodular hidradenoma is an extremely rare aggressive tumour originating from eccrine sweat glands with an incidence of <.001%. So far less than 80 cases have been reported in the literature. It’s known for its local recurrence (50%) and metastasis (60%) and hence early diagnosis and radical treatment is mandatory. But differentiating it from its benign counterparts and other skin tumour mimics is challenging, due to its histopathological similarity & lack of diagnostic immunomarkers. Authors report a case of 65-year-old female who presented with a short 4-month history of rapidly growing ulceroproliferative growth in the right inguinal region with bilateral inguinal node enlargement, associated with pain and discharge. Wedge biopsy of left inguinal lymph node showed malignant cutaneous adnexal tumour deposits, which after excision was typed as malignant nodular hidradenoma.

Olivier Galatoire and Mathieu Zmuda of the A. de Rothschild Ophthalmological Foundation and Dr. Christine Levy-Gabriel of the Curie Institute. The subject is now of unquestionable importance and evidently of great interest to Ophthalmologists, whether they are orbital- palpebral specialists or not. Indeed, errors or delays in the diagnosis of tumor pathologies are relatively common and the consequences can be serious in the case of malignant tumors, especially carcinomas. Swift diagnosis and anatomopathological confirmation will lead to a treatment, discussed in multidisciplinary team meetings, ranging from surgery to radiotherapy.

Methods: 50 cases of skin adnexal tumours diagnosed in histopathological study over a period of 4 years (May 2012 to September 2016) in the Department of Pathology, PDU Medical College, Rajkot. Histopathological study is done in Formalin fixed, Paraffin embedded tissue sections stained with Haematoxylin and Eosin. Results: Skin adnexal tumours found most common in the age group of 21 to 60 years (74%, 37/50). Male to female ratio was 1:1.2. 98% cases found benign with only a single case (2%) malignant. The sweat gland tumors formed the largest group involving 52% of cases followed by hair follicle tumors (40%),sebaceous gland tumours (6%) and mixed (2%). Nodular hidradenoma (22%) and trichilemmal cyst (22%) found the most common benign tumours. Chondroid syringoma with malignant changes is the only malignant adnexal tumour reported in our study. Conclusion: Dermal adnexal tumours are relatively rare. Benign adnexal tumors are far more common than their malignant counterparts.

Lynch pembrolizumab immunotherapy as part of multi- syndrome (MIM 120435) is characterized by defective modality treatment for invasive bladder cancer. He not DNA mismatch repair and predisposition to multiple only had a complete response of the bladder cancer, but cancers. A variant of Lynch syndrome, Muir–Torre also was noted to have an absence of new cancers during a syndrome (MIM 158320), is characterized by frequent 22-month follow-up period. This case adds to the rationale gastrointestinal tumors and hyperplastic or neoplastic skin for exploring the utility of immune checkpoint blockade tumors. We report the case of a man with Muir–Torre forcancerprevention,particularlyforpatientswithDNA syndrome who had 136 cutaneous or visceral hyperplastic repair deficits.

Clinical trials designed to evaluate reduce risk of virally initiated cancers represents a major strategies to reduce cancer incidence are challenging: in popu- success in cancer immunoprevention. There is interest in the lations where baseline risk is low, a large number of subjects and possibility that immunoprevention may also be useful where long follow-up periods are required.

Present for 4 weeks. Nodular fasciitis is a self-limited pseudosarcomatous proliferation that may cause clinical alarm due to its rapid growth. It is most common in young adults but occurs across a wide age range. This lesion is typically 3-5 cm and composed of bland fibroblasts and myofibroblasts without significant cytologic atypia arranged in a loose storiform pattern with areas of extravasated red blood cells. Mitoses may be numerous, but atypical mitotic figures are absent. Nodular fasciitis is a benign process, and recurrence is very rare (1%). Recent work has shown that the MYH9-USP6 gene fusion is present in approximately 90% of cases, and molecular techniques to show USP6 gene rearrangement may be a helpful ancillary tool in difficult cases or on small biopsy samples.
