A recurrent scalp swelling, initially thought to be a fibroma, was diagnosed as a malignant tumor after biopsy. Surgical excision was performed, with no signs of metastasis observed.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Dermatopathology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Recurrent scalp swellings can present diagnostic challenges.
  • Fibromas are benign tumors, but differential diagnosis must include malignancies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a case of a malignant scalp tumor misdiagnosed initially.
  • To highlight the histopathological features and management of this rare condition.

Main Methods:

  • Clinical presentation of a painful, recurrent scalp swelling.
  • Excision biopsy for histopathological examination.
  • Microscopic analysis revealing anaplastic epithelial cells, mitosis, chondroid areas, desmoplasia, and perineural invasion.

Main Results:

  • Initial clinical diagnosis was fibroma.
  • Histopathology confirmed a malignant epithelial tumor.
  • Features included anaplastic cells, mitosis, chondroid differentiation, desmoplasia, and perineural invasion.

    • Conclusions:

    • The case underscores the importance of thorough histopathological evaluation for scalp lesions.
    • Wide excision is a primary treatment modality for localized malignant tumors.
    • Absence of metastasis at presentation guided the treatment approach.
