Mantleoma. A benign neoplasm with mantle differentiation
The American Journal of Dermatopathology
|August 1, 1993
Summary
This study describes mantleomas, rare benign skin neoplasms originating from the sebaceous gland
Area of Science:
- Dermatopathology
- Oncology
- Histology
Background:
- The sebaceous mantle, a component of the sebaceous gland cycle, is poorly understood.
- Neoplasms exhibiting mantle differentiation (mantleomas) are uncommon and typically present on the face.
- These neoplasms may be incidentally discovered during the evaluation of other skin conditions, such as basal cell carcinoma.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present four cases of neoplasms with mantle differentiation.
- To describe the histopathological features and clinical presentation of mantleomas.
- To evaluate the benign nature of these neoplasms.
Main Methods:
- Histopathological examination of four cases with mantle differentiation.
- Clinical correlation of lesion location and presentation.
- Surgical removal and follow-up for recurrence.
Main Results:
- Mantleomas exhibit variable complexity, ranging from cords of undifferentiated cells to retiform patterns with sebocytes.
- The neoplasms arise from the infundibulum of hair follicles.
- No recurrences or atypical neoplastic cells were observed, indicating benign behavior.
Conclusions:
- Mantleomas are benign neoplasms of the sebaceous gland.
- They are characterized by distinctive histopathological features related to the sebaceous mantle cycle.
- Surgical excision is curative, with no evidence of recurrence in the presented cases.
