A Case of Tumor of Follicular Infundibulum in Parietal Scalp

Tumor of follicular infundibulum (TFI) is a rare benign cutaneous appendage tumor that does not have characteristic clinical features. It is mainly present in the head, neck, and trunk as a solitary lesion. In particular, TFI typically manifests as a plate-like proliferation with multiple thin epidermal connections comprise of monomorphic cells. TFI do not represent cutaneous characteristics, but have clinical significance because TFI is associated with basal cell carcinoma and Cowden's syndrome. We report a case of TFI in parietal scalp with a review of literatures.

Histologic Subtypes

Background: It is unknown whether the histologic subtypes of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) arise from a common progenitor cell or whether other factors play a role in their development. Objective: To investigate the relationship between the different BCC histopathologic subtypes and anatomical distribution of BCCs in a Canadian dermatology practice. Methods: The charts of all patients diagnosed with BCC between 1993 and 2005 from a single private dermatology practice in Vancouver, Canada, were reviewed. Descriptive data analysis was undertaken to look at the distribution of histologic subtypes based on age, gender, and anatomical location. Results: Nodular BCCs accounted for 58% of all tumors. Sixty-six percent of these were situated on the head/neck (odds ratio [OR] = 3.0, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.1-4.3, P < .0001). Infiltrative (OR = 2.4, 95% CI = 1.5-4.1, P = .0003) and superficial BCCs were more common in women (OR = 3.7, 95% CI = 2.5-5.7, P < .0001), affected the trunk (OR = 3.2, 95% CI = 2.1-4.9, P < .0001), and appeared in younger individuals (OR = 1.8, 95% CI = 1.2-2.7, P = .004). Conclusion: Our results show a preference of distinct BCC subtypes for certain anatomical locations.
