Abstract:
We present a 44-year-old female patient who was being studied by the Gynecology Department because of the presence of large abdominal masses which proved to be leiomyomas on histological analysis. The Dermatology Department was consulted because of an asymptomatic umbilical tumor which had been developing for 5 years. Upon histological examination, we observed glands with angular lumens that showed decapitation secretion distributed throughout the dermis, surrounded by a cellular stroma with extravasated erythrocytes.
