ABSTRACT
Se denomina tumor de colisión (TC) a la coexistencia de dos o más neoplasias independientes en la misma resección. Suelen ser hallazgos incidentales en la piel, de patogénesis y prevalencia desconocidas, con pocas referencias en la literatura. Aquí mostramos un estudio retrospectivo de TC diagnosticados por un dermatopatólogo entre los años 2019-2022 en nuestro centro. Se han definido las lesiones de manera independiente y organizado cada colisión en categorías: benigno-benigno (BB), benigno-maligno (BM) y maligno-maligno (MM). Del total de 108 TC (1,4% de las biopsias totales del dermatopatólogo en ese periodo), se detecta que la colisión más frecuente es la formada entre BM (48,5%), con un carcinoma basocelular (CBC) como lesión maligna más frecuente de forma global y con un nevus melanocítico (NM) como lesión benigna principal. Se ha realizado el análisis estadístico de los resultados con el software Stata 14.2, detectando una diferencia estadísticamente significativa entre edad y tipo de colisión. (AU)
A collision tumour (CT) is a neoplastic lesion comprised of two or more distinct cell populations that maintain distinct borders. Mostly, these are incidental findings in skin biopsies, whose pathologic mechanism and prevalence remain unknown, with few references among literature. Here, we present a retrospective study of CT, diagnosed by a dermatopathologist in our hospital between 2019-2022. Lesions have been defined individually and organized into three categories: benign-benign (BB), benign-malignant (BM) and malignant-malignant (MM). A total of 108 CT were diagnosed (1,4% of the biopsies from the dermatopathologist during this period), from which BM was the most frequent collision (48,5%). Globally, basal cell carcinoma (BCC) was the main malignant lesion and melanocytic nevus (MN) the main benign lesion. We have used the software Stata 14.2 in order to analyse results, and we have detected a statistically significant difference between age and collision type. (AU)
