A rare skin condition, cutaneous lung tissue heterotopia, was found in a child. This unique lesion featured lung structures within the skin, suggesting a new variant of bronchogenic or branchial cleft cysts.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatopathology
  • Pediatric Pathology
  • Congenital Malformations

Background:

  • Cutaneous heterotopias are rare developmental anomalies.
  • Lung tissue in the skin is exceptionally uncommon.
  • Understanding these entities aids in diagnosis and classification.

Observation:

  • A 3-year-old girl presented with a secreting skin papule on her scapula.
  • Pathological examination revealed lung tissue, including bronchioles and alveoli, within the dermis and subcutis.
  • A connection between the bronchioles and the epidermis was identified.

Findings:

  • The lesion demonstrated full pulmonary differentiation, confirmed by alveolar type II cells.
  • Histological features suggest a unique variant of bronchus-like skin entities.

  • The findings support classification as a cutaneous bronchogenic or branchial cleft cyst.

    • Implications:

    • This case expands the spectrum of known cutaneous malformations.
    • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate patient management.
    • Further research into the embryogenesis of such heterotopias is warranted.
