  • Malignant Eccrine Adenoma with Sarcomatous (Heterologous) Components: Report of a Rare Skin Adnexal Neoplasm with Literature Review

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.

Lovly1,7 Proliferating tricholemmal tumors (PTTs) are rare benign neoplasms that arise from the outer sheath of a hair follicle. Occasionally, these PTTs undergo malignant transformation to become malignant proliferating tricholemmal tumors (MPTTs). Little is known about the molecular alterations, malignant progression, and management of MPTTs. Here, we describe the case of a 58-year-old female that had a widely metastatic MPTT that harbored an activating PIK3CA mutation and was sensitive to the PI3K inhibitor, alpelisib (BYL719). We review the available literature on metastatic MPTT, detail the patient’s course, and present a whole genome analysis of this rare tumor. npj Precision Oncology (2019) 3:5 ; https://doi.org/10.1038/s41698-019-0077-2 INTRODUCTION posterior scalp cyst for cosmesis.

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.

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.

    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.
