Dermatofibroma (DF) or cutaneous fibrous histiocytoma is a common benign skin tumor that exhibits multiple, distinct histologic variants. Although clear cell DF has been described in the literature, balloon cell degeneration causing a clear cell DF phenotype has been not been reported to date. Herein, we describe the clinicopathologic findings of balloon cell DF arising on the heel of a 43-year-old man. Clinically, it presented as enlarging tan-white, ulcerated, firm 1.5 cm nodule, clinically suspected to be pyogenic granuloma. Excisional biopsy revealed a circumscribed fibrous tumor populated by mostly clear and spindle cells. A zonal arrangement separated the varied tumor cells where the most superficial, polypoid area showed large, clear polygonal balloon cells; the mid-dermal zone demonstrated a transition between balloon cells, epithelioid cells, and spindle cells; and the deep dermal zone had storiform arrangement of spindle cells, with the fascicles separated by coarse collagen bundles. A CD10+ > CD68+ > Factor XIIIa+ immunophenotype was identified with negative immunolabeling for S-100 protein, HMB-45, cytokeratin AE1/AE3, desmin, smooth muscle actin, lysozyme, and leukocyte common antigen (LCA). Ultrastructurally, the clear tumor cells were filled with multiple, empty, nonmembrane bound vacuoles of varying size. No recurrence has been described after complete excision and 7 months of follow up. DF with balloon cell change, likely secondary to persistent irritation, should be added to the differential diagnosis of cutaneous primary and metastatic neoplasms showing balloon cell degeneration such as balloon cell melanocytic nevi and renal cell carcinoma, respectively.  相似文献

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) metastasize primarily within the peritoneal cavity and to the liver. Superficial soft tissue metastases occur in about 1% of advanced GIST and are mostly associated with abdominal laparotomy scars and advanced disease. Extra-abdominal subcutaneous metastases of GIST have not been previously reported. Subcutaneous spindle cell tumors constitute a diagnostic challenge of which the differential diagnostic list can be limited by recognition of morphological, immunohistochemical en molecular genetic patterns. A 69-year-old woman presented with a fast growing subcutaneous nodule on her right upper arm. She was known with an imatinib-resistant advanced GIST, treated with sunitinib. The nodule was excised. Histopathological examination revealed a sharply demarcated tumor nodule in the subcutaneous fat with slightly spindled tumor cells, with pleomorphic nuclei and multiple mitoses. There was a hemangiopericytomatous vascular pattern. The cells stained positive for CD117 (KIT) and CD34. No KIT or platelet-derived growth factor receptor-α mutations were detected. We report the first case of an extra-abdominal subcutaneous metastasis of GIST. Although rare, metastatic GIST should therefore be included in the differential diagnosis of subcutaneous spindle cell tumors. A comparative survey of the histological, immunohistochemical and molecular genetic features of spindle cell tumors of the subcutis and a review of the literature is presented.  相似文献

An ultrastructural study of five cases of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans revealed that the basic cell was a spindle shaped fibroblast with a peculiar deeply lobulated nucleus. An origin from perineural and endoneural cells could not be established since basal lamina material was sparsely present in only one case and other differential features were missing. In one case histiocytic cells were found, but also in this case the basic cell was the fibroblast; so evidence of relationship with fibrous histiocytoma was not found.  相似文献

Epithelioid cell histiocytoma (ECH) is a variant of dermatofibroma that presents typically as a solitary nodule. We report a case of a 20-year-old male who presented with a bleeding nodular lesion on the left arm followed a month later by a nodule on the right nostril. Both lesions had epithelioid cells in the dermis, with focal Factor 13a and CD68 immunoreactivity. The left arm lesion, in addition, showed staghorn vasculature as well. Both lesions were interpreted as ECH. The patient had an unremarkable medical history. To the best of our knowledge, multiple ECHs have not been reported in the literature. An appropriate diagnosis of ECH is important as the differential diagnosis usually includes melanocytic lesions.  相似文献

We report a patient with aneurysmal (angiomatoid) fibrous histiocytoma manifested clinically as a single firm subcutaneous nodule, diagnosed as an epithelial cyst. Histologically, the growth showed massive histiocytic proliferation and areas with a vascular component. The lesion was histologically mistaken for Kaposi's sarcoma.  相似文献

Clear cell sarcoma (CCS) typically presents as a tumor in the deep soft tissue of extremities, but when centered in the dermis it may be confused with a melanocytic nevus, primary nodular or metastatic melanoma. Compound variants of CCS, i.e. tumor cells present in both the epidermis and underlying soft tissue have not yet been described. Herein we report such a case, which initially presented as a nodule on the left wrist of a young woman at 19 years of age. The lesion was then interpreted as ‘Spitz nevus, compound type’. Twelve years later the patient noticed an enlarged lymph node in the right axilla. The excised lymph node was nearly completely replaced by malignant tumor cells, which were immunoreactive for S100 protein. They resembled the tumor cells of the wrist lesion. Cytogenetic analysis of the metastatic tumor revealed a t(12;22) translocation. Fluorescence in situ hybridization confirmed Ewing's sarcoma breakpoint region 1 (EWSR1) rearrangement in 70% of the tumor cells, thereby supporting the diagnosis of metastatic CCS. Our case is of interest because it documents that CCS can involve the epidermis. This observation expands the morphological spectrum associated with this tumor.  相似文献

INTRODUCTION: The atypical fibroxanthoma (AFX) is considered by most authorities to represent a superficial or minimally invasive variant of malignant fibrous histiocytoma that most often presents as a solitary nodule on the sun-exposed skin of the elderly. Among the rarest variants is the clear cell AFX, a lesion which raises consideration to a differential diagnosis encompassing a variety of neoplastic and non-neoplastic clear cell proliferations. METHODS: We describe three cases of a distinctive cutaneous neoplasm arising in the sun-exposed skin of elderly patients. In all cases, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue was available for analysis. The histology in concert with the immunophenotype was held to be diagnostic of the clear cell variant of AFX. RESULTS: All tumors comprised sheets of large cells with foamy cytoplasms and hyperchromatic, polyploid nuclei manifesting frequent and atypical mitoses. The critical cells in our cases expressed CD68 but none of CD3, CD20, CD34, S-100 protein, muscle-specific actin, factor XIIIa, Melan-A, carcinoembryonic antigen, or cytokeratin. CONCLUSION: Although typical examples of AFX provoke diagnostic consideration of spindle cell cancers of the skin (most often spindle cell melanoma, spindle cell squamous cell carcinoma, and leiomyosarcoma), the clear cell variant raises other differential diagnostic considerations instead. These include balloon cell melanoma, sebaceous carcinoma, pleomorphic liposarcoma, chordoma, parachordoma, tricholemmal carcinoma and clear cell squamous cell carcinoma. A diagnosis of AFX is one of exclusion; one must employ immunohistochemical markers to rule out the aforementioned differential diagnostic considerations. By reporting the fifth, sixth and seventh cases of clear cell AFX, we hope to alert dermatopathologists to this distinctive and unusual neoplasm, recognition of which is essential to avoid under- or over-diagnosis and inappropriate therapy.  相似文献

Fibrohistiocytic tumors are characterized by the presence of fibroblast like spindle cells and histiocytes. The benign fibrous histiocytoma (dermatofibroma, BFH) as well as the malignant dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) and the malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) belong to this group. A recurrent painful, hard 2 cm tumor on the left hallux of a 54-year-old woman led to an erosion of the underlying phalanx. The patient had suffered from ingrown toenails for more than 10 years. Histologically there was a deep penetrating fibrohistiocytic tumor that grew in a storiform pattern with interspersed foam cells. The tumor was CD34 negative and mitoses were scarce. The diagnosis was benign cellular fibrous histiocytoma (BZFH). BZFH belong to the group of BFH with a high recurrence rate especially after incomplete removal. Damage to the underlying bone has not been reported so far.  相似文献

Aneurysmal benign fibrous histiocytoma is an uncommon pathologic variant of dermatofibroma. In addition to the features of a typical dermatofibroma, it has large cleft-like or cavernous blood-filled spaces with numerous hemosiderin pigments. It should be differentiated from angiomatoid malignant fibrous histiocytoma, malignant melanoma, and vascular tumors such as Kaposi''s sarcoma and angiosarcoma. Atrophic dermatofibroma is also a rare variant of dermatofibroma, and the combination of aneurysmal and atrophic features is rarer still. We report a case of aneurysmal benign fibrous histiocytoma with atrophic features in a 27-year-old male who had a grayish-brown atrophic patchy lesion on his back for 2 years.  相似文献

Although epithelioid cell histiocytoma is considered a variant of fibrous histiocytoma (dermatofibroma), the histogenesis of this condition remains controversial. A recent investigation suggested the possibility that epithelioid cell histiocytoma is an angioformative fibrous histiocytoma. We report a case of epithelioid cell histiocytoma underlying a damaged artery. This epithelioid cell histiocytoma with a central area of hemorrhage was associated with a medium-sized artery in the reticular dermis running vertically up to the lesion. Both the artery in the reticular dermis and its centrally branched artery in the subcutaneous tissue showed mural injury and intraluminal epithelioid endothelial proliferation. Immunohistochemically, the labeling rate for each of the antibodies studied in the epithlioid cells was as follows: 40% for Factor XIIIa, 5% for CD34, 20% for factor VIII-related antigen, and 10% for alpha-smooth muscle cell actin. This case may support the view that epithelioid cell histiocytoma is a vascular and angioformative fibrous histiocytoma.  相似文献

We report a case of melanoma that had a marked response to treatment with imatinib mesylate (IM). The patient was a 61‐year‐old man who presented with a small red nodule on the thumb and destruction of the nail plate. On histological examination, this lesion was diagnosed as a melanoma, and computed tomography revealed lymph‐node swelling in the left axilla and nodules in both lung fields. Although the patient received intratumoral injections of interferon‐β and systemic administration of dacarbazine, both primary and metastatic lesions increased in size. Immunochemistry detected a KIT mutation, which was confirmed by DNA sequencing analysis, and patient was given IM. Within 2 weeks of starting the IM regimen, the size of the nodule on the nail plate markedly decreased, and the axillary lymph‐node swelling and lung‐nodule formation regressed. This case suggests that IM may be a promising treatment option for KIT mutation‐positive melanoma.  相似文献

Three cases of malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the skin with a marked inflammatory infiltrate in the stroma are reported. The inflammatory infiltrate, composed mainly of T-lymphocytes, obscured the nature of the neoplasms, and immunohistochemical studies were required to establish the diagnosis. Two tumors arose in the sun-damaged skin of the face, and one tumor arose in the chest wall. One patient developed a local recurrence with histopathologic findings similar to those observed in the original lesion, including the inflammatory infiltrate. Possible differential diagnoses include large cell lymphoma, inflammatory pseudotumor, inflammatory leiomyosarcoma, and spindle cell squamous cell carcinoma. The presumed rarity of inflammatory changes in malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the skin is supported by the absence of reported cases.  相似文献

We report the case of a two patients who presented with a solitary, asymptomatic, angiomatoid nodule on the right thigh. Histopathological finding showed a poorly circumscribed lesion, located in the dermis. The morphological aspect strongly suggested the diagnosis of atypical fibrous histiocytoma (AFH), but surprisingly, the neoplastic cells were diffusely CD30+, with a membrane staining devoid of paranuclear dot. The lesions were tested for p80/ALK1 expression. Surprisingly, we found a diffuse cytoplasmic positivity. Interestingly, using break‐apart fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), we evidenced an ALK rearrangement in nearly 50% of the neoplastic cells. The expression of CD30 and ALK1 with ALK gene rearrangement raised the possibility of three diagnoses: a primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), a cutaneous inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT), an AFH of the skin associated with ALK gene rearrangement and CD30 positivity. The three hypotheses were discussed and finally, although p80/ALK1 expression and cytogenetic abnormalities in fibrous histiocytoma (FH) are not yet reported to the best of our knowledge, we favored the diagnosis of AFH.  相似文献

We report a case of malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) located in the subcutaneous tissue on the right axilla. We excised the tumor sufficiently beyond the clinical margin. It was pathologically diagnosed as a storiform-pleomorphic type of malignant fibrous histiocytoma almost completely circumscribed by fibrous tissue, including fascicles of fibroblasts; this is a rare histological picture. The tumor has not recurred for three years. Although MFH frequently undergoes metastasis, the circumscribed-type subcutaneous MFH characteristic of superficiality and of histologically well-defined structure seems to have a relatively more favorable prognosis after adequate radical excision.  相似文献
