[A case of nasal vestibule acantholytic acanthoma]
Abstract:
The patient, a 70-year-old woman, presented with a mass in the right nasal cavity accompanied by recurrent nosebleeds for 3 months. Physical examination revealed a mass in the right nasal vestibule, with a diameter of about 1.5 cm. The surface of the mass was not smooth and nasal CT showed a mass in the right nasal vestibule, which could be surgically removed. Immunohistochemical results of the tumor showed CKpan(3+), CK5/6(3+), p40(3+), p53(+), CD10(-), AR(-), Bcl-2(-), ki-67(+20%). Pathological diagnosis was acantholytic dyskeratotic acanthoma. This disease is rare and easy to be misdiagnosed, so it is necessary to pay attention to identification.

The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
