Cutaneous mixed tumor with prominent pilomatricomal differentiation
1Department of Pathology, Sir Ganga Ram hospital, New Delhi 110060, India.
Abstract:
Cutaneous mixed tumors show a wide range of differentiation and metaplastic changes in their components. However, pilomatricomal differentiation is a rare phenomenon and, when present, is usually only focal. We report a case of a 59-year-old male who presented with a large tumor in the scalp. Histopathologic examination revealed an apocrine mixed tumor with prominent pilomatricomal differentiation.

Papillary Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.

The papillary layer is made of loose, areolar connective tissue, which means the collagen and...
