Summary
Infundibulocystic basal cell carcinoma, a rare tumor with follicular differentiation, remains controversial regarding its classification and behavior. Further research is needed to determine its nosology and biological characteristics.
Area of Science:
- Dermatopathology
- Oncology
Background:
- Infundibulocystic basal cell carcinoma (BCC) was first described in 1987, characterized by follicular differentiation.
- Its classification and malignant potential have been debated since its initial description.
Observation:
- Two new cases of infundibulocystic BCC are presented.
- The first case exhibited typical features but lacked stroma; the second showed basaloid nodules resembling nodular BCC in the deep portion.
Findings:
- The study reviews criteria for establishing the malignancy of infundibulocystic BCC.
- Variations in stromal presence and deep nodule formation were observed in the presented cases.
Implications:
- The nosology and biological behavior of infundibulocystic BCC require further elucidation.
- Distinguishing this entity from other follicularly differentiating tumors remains a challenge.
