Background: Pilomatricoma is a common benign adnexal tumor differentiating toward elements of the hair matrix and shaft. It typically presents as a solitary, deep, dermal nodule. We describe a case of a pilomatricoma with the unusual feature of a thick-walled dermal bulla overlying the tumor. Objective: We describe a case of bullous pilomatricoma and discuss the potential etiology of the bullous feature of the lesion. Methods: This article includes a case report and a literature review. Conclusions: Bullous pilomatricoma has rarely been described. A common pathological feature in this type of pilomatricoma is the presence of dilated lymphatics. Bullous morphea associated with dermal lymphatic dilation has also been described. In both bullous pilomatricoma and morphea, it is possible that individual pathological features of the lesion lead to obstruction and congestion of the dermal lymphatics thereby inducing enough dilation and edema to form a dermal bulla. Antécédents: Le pilomatrixome (épithéliome calcifiant de Malherbe) est une tumeur annexielle bénigne qui ressemble aux éléments de la matrice et de la tige pilaires. Il se manifeste typiquement par un nodule sous-cutané solitaire. Nous rapportons un cas de pilomatrixome présentant la caractéristique inhabituelle d'une bulle dermique à paroi épaisse située au-dessus de la tumeur. Objectifs: Décrire un cas de pilomatrixome bulleux et présenter l'étiologie potentielle d'une telle manifestation. Méthodes: Cet article comporte une étude de cas ainsi qu'une revue de la littérature. Conclusion: Le pilomatrixome bulleux a rarement été décrit. La dilatation des vaisseaux lymphatiques constitue une manifestation pathologique fréquente de cette forme de pilomatrixome. La morphée bulleuse a également été associée à une dilatation de vaisseaux lymphatiques. Il est possible que les caractéristiques pathologiques individuelles des lésions du pilomatrixome bulleux et de la morphée entraînent une obstruction et une congestion des vaisseaux lymphatiques, provoquant ainsi une dilatation et un œdème suffisamment importants pour former une bulle.

Abstract Nodular hidradenoma is an uncommon cutaneous adnexal tumor arising from sweat glands. In the skin, it usually presents as a solitary dermal nodule; excision is curative in most cases. In rare instances, it may present as a breast mass and can mimic breast carcinoma clinically and radiologically, causing diagnostic dilemmas for the treating physician and pathologist. Herein, we discuss a case of nodular hidradenoma in a 20-year-old Hispanic woman as a rapidly growing mass in the breast that mimicked breast carcinoma. We discuss the rare presentation of this uncommon tumor and the differential diagnosis of this entity, as well as the results of our literature review on the topic.

Pilomatrixoma is a rare, benign, circumscribed, calcifying epithelial neoplasm that is derived from hair matrix cells. Multiple pilomatrixomas are uncommon. We describe a case of multiple pilomatrixomas in a 23-year-old black woman who presented with lesions on her face and back. Based on the results of the clinical examination, she was provisionally diagnosed with either calcified sebaceous cysts or calcified lymph nodes. She underwent surgical excision of the masses. On histopathology, the lesions were identified as pilomatrixomas. We attribute our original failure to diagnose this condition to our lack of familiarity with it. We discuss the presentation, differential diagnosis, and other characteristics of pilomatrixomas.

Myofibroblastoma of the breast is a rare benign spindle cell tumor. The main aim of this study is to review the literature of this rare tumor. We present a case of a mammary myofibroblastoma occurring in an 82-year-old man, emphasizing the clinical, radiological, and pathological features. The tumor was successfully identified and managed in our hospital. We would like to draw the attention of clinicians to myofibroblastoma as a rare possibility in the differential diagnosis of a breast mass.

Eccrine syringofibroadenoma (ESFA) is a rare adnexal tumor deriving from the acrosyringeal portion of the eccrine duct. Five subtypes of ESFA were described including a reactive form. Reactive ESFAs are associated with inflammatory and neoplastic dermatoses. In this article, we report the case of a 90-year-old woman presenting with 3 leg ulcers evolving for 2 years surrounded by large verrucous and eczematous lesions. Multiple skin biopsies showed anastomosing epithelial cords connected to the epidermis consistent with ESFA. We identified 8 cases of ESFA associated with chronic leg ulcers in the literature and reviewed their main clinical and histological features.

Cerebellar liponeurocytomas were recognized in the 2000 WHO 3rd edition of CNS tumors as a distinct grade I pathological entity, a tumor with a more favorable prognosis than medulloblastoma. But reports of long-term recurrences and some possible aggressive behavior led to an upgrade on the latest WHO 4th edition of CNS tumors. The case of a 64-year-old female patient is reported in this paper. More than 30 cases of this lately recognized pathological entity have been reported to date. The diagnostic, radiological, and pathological features associated with this tumor are discussed through a literature review.

Missed Diagnosis

Introduction. Oligomeganephronia (OMN) is one of rare congenital kidney disease. The number of nephrons reduces and the volume of glomerulus increases. The incidence of OMN is uncertain because it is difficult to diagnose. There are no any special clinical manifestations of OMN. Renal pathology is the only way to diagnose OMN, so missed diagnosis always happens without renal pathology. Case Outline. A 26-year-old male was diagnosed OMN associated with proteinuria and increased serum creatinine. The size of both kidneys on ultrasound was smaller than normal. Pathological features involved a reduced number of greatly enlarged glomeruli indicating OMN. Conclusion. OMN is a rare disease and it has been rarely reported. The exact mechanism is not clear. The diagnosis mainly depends on pathological findings. For patients with OMN, proteinuria and renal dysfunction are often the main cause to visit a doctor. Early diagnosis is important.
