Area of Science:
- Dermatopathology
- Oncology
- Cell Biology
Background:
- Oncocytic neoplasms typically arise in salivary, thyroid, parathyroid, and renal tissues.
- Ocular adnexal tumors with oncocytosis have been documented previously.
- Skin adnexal tumors with oncocytosis are exceptionally rare.
