Area of Science:

  • Dermatopathology
  • Histology
  • Neoplasms

Background:

  • Organoid nevi are rare benign skin tumors.
  • Eccrine nevi are a type of appendageal nevus.
  • Understanding nevus variants is crucial for accurate diagnosis.

Observation:

  • A solitary lesion was identified on the lower extremity of a 47-year-old woman.
  • Histologic examination revealed features consistent with an organoid nevus.
  • The lesion presented as an intradermal proliferation.

Findings:

  • The observed lesion is considered a potential variant of eccrine nevus.
  • It is characterized by hyperplastic eccrine sweat glands.
  • Associated mucinous change was noted within the lesion.

Implications:

  • This case expands the histopathologic spectrum of organoid and eccrine nevi.
  • Further research may clarify the classification of such variants.
  • Accurate identification is key for appropriate clinical management.
