Email: [email protected] Abstract Background: Skin adnexal tumors are a wide spectrum of benign and malignant tumors that differentiate towards one or more adnexal structures found in normal skin. The adnexal structures of skin are the hair follicles, sebaceous glands, eccrine and apocrine sweat glands. These skin adnexal tumors are often difficult to diagnose clinically. This retrospective study was undertaken to know the various histomorphological patterns of skin adnexal tumors at our institution and to determine the incidence among the genders and age groups along with the site distribution. Materials and methods: A total of 40 specimens received and diagnosed as skin adnexal tumors in the department of Pathology at Belgaum Institute of Medical Sciences, Belagavi for a period of 6 years from January 2014 to December 2019 were taken for the study. Histopathological slides prepared from tissue blocks retrieved from departmental archives were reviewed and classified according to the WHO classification 2017. Results: Out of the total 40 samples, benign tumors were 36 (90%) and malignant were 4 (10%). Largest group was the benign tumors of apocrine and eccrine differentiation (47.5%) followed by benign tumors of hair follicle differentiation (40%). Malignant tumors of sebaceous differentiation were 5%, malignant tumors of eccrine and apocrine differentiation were 2.5% and malignant hair follicle differentiation tumors were 2.5% of the total. Conclusions: Benign skin adnexal tumors were more compared to malignant tumors with most common being tumors of eccrine and apocrine origin.

    Differential Diagnosis of Basal Cell Carcinoma and Benign Tumors of Hair Follicles Using CD34 RESEARCH COMMUNICATION Differential Diagnosis of Basal Cell Carcinoma and Benign Tumors of Cutaneous Appendages Originating from Hair Follicles by Using CD34 Demet Sengul1, Ilker Sengul2*, Muzeyyen Hesna Astarci3, Huseyin Ustun3, Gamze Mocan4 Abstract Background and Aims: Differential diagnosis of the group of benign trichoblastomas, trichofolliculomas, trichoadenomas and trichoepitheliomas, and basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) is troublesome for the clinician as well as the pathologist, especially when only small biopsy specimens are available. Here we investigated whether CD34 expression might be of assistance. Methods: Thirty benign tumors of cutaneous appendages originating from hair follicles (BTCOHF) and 30 BCCs were retrieved from our archives and immunohistochemically stained. CD 34 expression was graded from [0] to [2+] and compared among the groups and subgroups. Results: There was no significant difference between the degree of expression between [0] and [1+] and [0] and [2+] for each group. However, [1+] and [2+] immunopositivity of BTCOHFs was significantly stronger than in BCCs (p= 0.014). Conclusions: CD34 may contribute to differential diagnosis of skin lesions.

Physical examination revealed a dome-shaped, 12x13-mm, dark red tumor. The tumor was excised with a 2 to 3-mm margin. The patient has remained free of disease during 77-months of follow-up. Microscopic examination revealed a bulb-like tumor in the dermis, contiguous with the overlying epidermis. It was composed of small, monomorphous, cigar-shaped basaloid cells in linear, parallel rows, resembling the palisading of nuclei of Verocay bodies, and presenting a rippled-pattern. There were scattered cells showing sebaceous differentiation with vacuolated cytoplasm and scalloped nuclei. There were tiny, duct-like spaces. The tumor revealed characteristics of rippled-pattern sebaceoma.

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.

    PHOTO CHALLENGE Friable Scalp Nodule Shannon Buck, DO; Jaree Naqvi, BS; John Moad, MD; Heidi Donnelly, MD A 75-year-old woman presented with an enlarging plaque on the scalp of 5 years’ duration. Physical examination revealed a 5.6×2.9-cm, tan-colored, verrucous plaque with an overlying pink friable nodule on the left occipital scalp. The lesion was not painful or pruritic,copy and the patient did not have any constitutional symptoms such as fever, night sweats, or weight loss. The patient denied prior tanning bed use and reported intermittent sun exposure over her lifetime. She denied any prior surgicalnot intervention. There was no family history of similar lesions. WHAT’S THE DIAGNOSIS? Doa. adnexal neoplasm arising in a nevus sebaceus b. atypical fibroxanthoma c. basal cell carcinoma d. cylindroma e. metastatic renal cell carcinoma CUTIS PLEASE TURN TO PAGE E20 FOR THE DIAGNOSIS Drs. Buck and Donnelly are from Dayton Skin Care Specialists, Ohio. Mr. Naqvi is from Boonshoft School of Medicine, Wright State University, Dayton. Dr. Moad is from Dermatopathology Laboratory of Central States, Dayton. The authors report no conflict of interest.

PHOTO CHALLENGE DISCUSSION THE DIAGNOSIS: Adnexal Neoplasm Arising in a Nevus Sebaceus iopsy of the lesion showed a proliferation of basa- secondary neoplasms, 88% of which were benign.2 The loid-appearing cells with focal ductal differentiation origins of these neoplasms can be epithelial, sebaceous, Band ulceration consistent with poroma (Figure 1).

    ANNUAL MEETING ABSTRACTS 125A liver (3), abdominal wall (1) and lung (1). Of the 33 FNA cases, 30 were primary The average DNA concentration for LBC samples was 43.2 ng/µl and FFPE was 12.3 AML (28 in kidney and 2 in liver) and 3 were metastasis (in liver, lung and abdominal ng/µl. Mean average read depths were 10,899 and 7,980 for LBC and FFPE, respectively. wall, respectively). FNA diagnoses included consistent with or favor AML (16, 49%), Five FFPE and 1 LBC specimens had minimum read depths below quality control descriptive (13), non-diagnostic (1) and erroneous diagnosis (3). Of the latter 3 cases standards (<100) involving primarily PIK3CA (6) and BRAF (3). (all in the kidney), two were called “clear cell renal cell carcinoma” due to predominant Targeted genes were concordant across specimen types. For both FFPE and LBC, NGS epithelioid component and one was called “pleomorphic malignancy”. Two renal AMLs detected KRAS mutations previously identified by PCR. In addition, all 20 specimens had co-existing metastatic carcinoma (neuroendocrine carcinoma from pancreas and showed a common EGFR polymorphism c.2361G>A. metastatic lung adenocarcinoma, respectively). Conclusions: NGS results of FFPE and LBC (DNA from cell pellets) were consistent, Upon review, smooth muscle component was most commonly seen (19), followed but the superior coverage depth of LBC specimens supports its clinical use. Our initial by vascular component (17) and adipose tissue (6). Only 4 cases showed all the three experience using NGS on 128 clinical lung cancer FNAs detected KRAS mutations in components; 13 cases had 2 components and 7 cases had smooth muscle component 30 patients and EGFR in 16; qualifying 8 for tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy.
