Adenocarcinoma de células basales / Basal cell adenocarcinoma

El adenocarcinoma de células basales, también conocido como carcinoma salival basaloide, adenoma maligno de células basales, es una neoplasia epitelial de bajo grado, infiltrante, localmente destructivo y con tendencia a ser recidivante. Su aparición es entre la 5ª y 6ª década de vida, sin predilección por sexo. Clínicamente se manifiesta con un edema o un aumento repentino de tamaño en la zona, de consistencia firme, crecimiento lento e indoloro. El diagnóstico de certeza es a través de la histopatología; su tratamiento quirúrgico, y tiene buen pronóstico en sus estadios iniciales (AU)

Basal cells adenocarcinoma also known as salivary basaloide carcinoma basal cells malignant adenoma is a low degree, infiltrating, locally destructive and prone to be relapsing, epithelial neoplasia. It occurs between the 5th and 6th decade of life, with no predilection for sex. Clinically it manifests with an edema or sudden increased size in the area, of firm consistency, slow growth and pain-less. Its treatment is surgical and the diagnosis of certainty is histopathological with a good prognosis. The purpose of this presentation is to show the case of a 57- years-old male patient with clinical and anatomopathological diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of basal cells located in the yugal mucosa (AU)

Digital Pilomatrixoma An Unusual Site of Presentation.

Pilomatricoma is an uncommon, harmless, skin lesion derived from hair matrix cells. It is also spelled 'pilomatrixoma' and sometimes known as 'calcifing epithelioma of malherbe'. It is most often diagnosed in young children but may also affect adults. Single skin-coloured or purplish lesions arised on the head and neck, but they may occur on any site. They are characterized by calcification within the lesion, which makes it feel hard and bony. FNAC can help us in the diagnosis but excisional biopsy and histopathological examination is recommended for confirmation and curative treatment. We present a rare case of pilomatricoma of the digit in an adult female.

Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology of Pilomatrixoma: A Report of Five Cases / 대한세포병리학회지

Pilomatrixoma is a benign tumor which usually occur as a solitary, firm nodule in the head and neck, and upper extremities of young people. This tumor is occasionally encountered during aspiration biopsy of subcutaneous masses, but only a small number of cases are correctly diagnosed prior to excision. We report five cases of pilomatrixoma. Four cases occurred in the neck and one case in the back. The characteristic fine needle aspiration cytologic features are shadow cells and basaloid cells in the background of inflammatory cells, including some multinucleated giant cells. The shadow cells were recognized in all five cases. These cells were pale, anucleated cells with relatively distinct cell borders. May-Gr nbald-Giemsa stain is useful for the identification of shadow cells. The recognition of shadow cells appears to be essential for accurate diagnosis of pilomatrixoma.

Cutaneous Lymphadenoma: A case report and Review of Literature

The cutaneous lymphadenoma is a recently described tumor with a distinctive histologic picture representing a basaloid epithelial proliferation and intraepithelial lymphocytic infiltration; it seems to be a benign adnexal neoplasm of uncertain histogenesis. We documented one example of cutaneous lymphadenoma showing typical histologic features. The tumor typically presented as a well circumscribed nodule with scant or no epidermal connections. The proliferating one consisted of multiple rounded lobules of basaloid cells with some degree of peripheral palisading. There was an intense infiltrate of small lymphocytes within the lobules but few in the stroma. No clear adnexal differentiation is noted. Immunohistochemically, the basaloid cells show weak immunoreactivity for high molecular weight keratin and carcinoembryonic antigen, small lymphocytes for T-cell marker and some dendritic cells for S-100 protein. After surgical resection, we found no evidence of local recurrence or distant metastasis for four years, so we considered this tumor as a benign one and diagnosed as cutaneous lymphadenoma by typical histologic features.
