Adnexal Tumour

AbstractMicrocystic adnexal carcinoma (MAC) is a rare adnexal tumour which has only recently been recognized as a separate clinicopathological entity. It typically affects the face of the middle-aged and often requires extensive surgical excision, due to its locally invasive nature. Its clinical significance is that, despite being locally invasive, MAC is typified by a lack of metastatic spread. We present a case and review of the literature.

Anatomic Locations

Branchial cleft anomalies are congenital head and neck lesions that arise from incomplete maturation of the branchial apparatus during fetal development. The branchial arches are the precursors of the face, neck and pharynx, and disturbances in embryogenesis can present clinically as cysts, sinus tracts, and fistulas in predictable anatomic locations. However, there remains controversy regarding the precise embryogenesis of branchial cleft anomalies with several competing theories. These lesions often evade diagnosis in early childhood and may present in a delayed fashion after multiple failed interventions. Various diagnostic modalities have been described to facilitate clinical workup. Definitive treatment is complete surgical excision of the lesion. We present a comprehensive review of the literature along with several illustrative cases that highlight the unique challenges of diagnosis and surgical management of branchial cleft anomalies.

Background: Primary cutaneous CD4+ small/medium T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder (CD4+ PCSM-LPD) is defined by a predominance of small- to medium-sized CD4+ pleomorphic T cells and a favorable clinical course. Objective: We performed a retrospective analysis of 6 patients with CD4+ PCSM-LPD and reviewed the literature to address questions about its diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. Methods: Patients were 3 men and 3 women with a median age of 50 years. All patients presented with a single erythematous nodule, localised on the head in 4 patients and the upper trunk in 2 cases. No patients showed extracutaneous disease at any evaluation. Histopathologic features were characterised by nodular, diffuse, or, in 1 case, a superficial dense infiltrate of small/medium-sized pleomorphic CD4+/PD1+ T lymphocytes. T-cell receptor clonality was demonstrated in 5 cases. Treatment was surgical excision in 5 cases and radiotherapy in 1 case. Results: All patients achieved complete resolution without relapses, during a median follow-up of 3 years. A review of the literature confirmed that CD4+ PCSM-LPD presents predominantly with a solitary nodular lesion on the face, neck, or upper trunk in adult patients. Surgical excision is the preferred treatment. Spontaneous resolution after biopsy may occur. Conclusions: CD4+ PCSM-LPD is a rare disorder with a favorable course.

Epithelial Myoepithelial Carcinoma

Introduction Epithelial myoepithelial carcinoma (EMC) of the nasal cavity is a rare tumor, and here we describe the first case of EMC of the nasal cavity presenting with epiphora. A case presentation and review of the literature is provided. Methods A case report is described of a 63-year-old man who presented with unilateral epiphora and was found via a thorough history and physical examination to have a nasal tumor. The physical examination consisted of an ocular examination, including probing and irrigation, and a detailed nasal examination (anterior rhinoscopy, nasal endoscopy). The nasal examination was prompted by the patient's report of concurrent nasal symptoms during history taking. Immunohistochemistry subsequently identified the nasal tumor as EMC. A literature search was performed to gain insights into similar malignancies of the nasal cavity. Results Eight cases of EMC of the nasal cavity were identified in the literature, none of the patients presented with epiphora. The case presented here resulted in resolution of the patient's symptoms and no evidence of disease after surgical excision. Conclusion Epithelial myoepithelial is a rare salivary gland malignancy that can arise in the nasal cavity. Unilateral epiphora with concurrent nasal symptoms should prompt nasal cavity examination for the possibility of an obstructive tumor.
