Superficial epithelioma with sebaceous differentiation

K Rothko, E R Farmer, I Zeligman

    Archives of Dermatology
    |March 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    A rare skin tumor, characterized by plate-like lobules of basophilic cells, was observed in a 48-year-old male. Successful treatment with electrodesiccation and curettage resulted in no recurrence, indicating effective management of these cutaneous neoplasms.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Oncology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Cutaneous tumors present a diverse range of benign and malignant conditions affecting the skin.
    • Accurate histopathological diagnosis is crucial for determining appropriate treatment and prognosis.
    • Understanding the specific histological features of rare skin neoplasms aids in their classification and management.

    Observation:

    • A 48-year-old male developed six distinct cutaneous tumors over an eight-year period.
    • Tumor locations included the face, right axilla, trunk, and right thigh.
    • Biopsies revealed characteristic histopathological findings within the neoplastic lobules.

    Findings:

    • Histological examination showed multiple plate-like lobules composed of basophilic cells.
    • Broad attachments of these lobules to the overlying epidermis were noted.
    • Intra-lobular presence of keratin-filled cysts and clusters of sebaceous cells confirmed the tumor's nature.

    Implications:

    • The observed histological pattern is consistent with a specific type of cutaneous adnexal tumor.
    • Electrodesiccation and curettage proved to be a curative treatment modality.
    • This case highlights the importance of thorough histopathological evaluation for diagnosing and managing cutaneous neoplasms.
