Often the distinction of cutaneous apocrine carcinoma from metastatic mammary apocrine carcinoma to the skin can be a diagnostic dilemma because both tumors share similar histologic features and have overlapping immunohistochemical profile. We compared the expression of adipophilin, cytokeratin 5/6, p63, GATA3, mammaglobin, androgen receptor, estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and HER2 by immunohistochemistry in 14 cutaneous apocrine carcinomas (11 primary tumors, 3 metastases) and 26 primary apocrine carcinomas of the breast. Whereas focal adipophilin staining was seen in 36% (5/14) of cutaneous apocrine carcinoma, strong and diffuse adipophilin staining was seen in 88% (22/25) of mammary apocrine carcinoma (P = .0013). Differences in estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor expression were also statistically significant (P = .018 and .043). Androgen receptor was strongly positive in all cutaneous and mammary cases. Although there was no significant difference in the frequency of expression of cytokeratin 5/6, p63, HER2, GATA3, and mammaglobin in cutaneous apocrine carcinoma versus mammary apocrine carcinoma, strong and diffuse cytokeratin 5/6 and/or mammaglobin expression were seen only in cutaneous apocrine carcinoma. In conclusion, cutaneous apocrine carcinoma is likely adipophilin- ER+ PR+/- HER2- and can exhibit strong and diffuse cytokeratin 5/6 and/or mammaglobin expression. On the contrary, a mammary apocrine carcinoma is likely adipophilin+ ER- PR- and often exhibit 3+ HER2 with corresponding HER2 gene amplification. A panel of adipophilin, ER, PR, HER2, cytokeratin 5/6, and mammaglobin may be helpful in distinguishing cutaneous apocrine carcinoma from mammary apocrine carcinoma.

In order to describe the clinical-pathological characteristics of the cases of Eccrine Porocarcinoma (EP) found in the Instituto Nacional de Enfermedades Neoplásicas (INEN), a cross-sectional study was carried out, including all EP cases recorded between 1998 and 2009. A revision of the clinical-pathological records indentified and a new reading of the pathology slides of the cases found were performed. 19 EP cases were found, the median age of which was 64 years (range: 37-98). EP was primarily found on male patients (57.9%) and was most commonly located on the foot (21.1%), followed by the head, thorax and thigh (15.8%, respectively). In one case, EP was located on the gluteal region, and showed an unusually invasive behavior and rectal involvement. We conclude that EP is a rather uncommon entity in Peru. Its most common location is on the foot and it affects mostly male patients for the most part.

Con el objetivo de describir las características clínico-patológicas de los casos de porocarcinoma ecrino (PE) registrados en el Instituto Nacional de Enfermedades Neoplásicas (INEN), se realizó un estudio trasversal que incluyó todos los casos entre 1998-2009. Para ello se realizó una revisión de fichas clínico-patológicas y una nueva lectura de las láminas de patología de los casos encontrados. Se hallaron 19 casos de PE; la mediana de edad fue de 64 años (rango: 37-98); con mayor frecuencia en el sexo masculino (57,9%); la localización más frecuente fue en el pie (21,1%), seguida de cabeza, tórax y muslo (15,8%, en todos los casos). Se describe un caso de localización glútea que cursó con una conducta inusualmente invasiva y con compromiso rectal. Se concluye que el PE es una entidad poco frecuente en el Perú, su localización más común es en el pie, y afecta predominantemente al sexo masculino. (AU)

Sclerotic fibroma was first described in association with Cowden's disease by Weary et al. in 1972. In 1989, Rapini and Golitz detailed 11 cases of solitary sclerotic fibroma (SFS) in the absence of Cowden's disease, suggesting the term SFS of the skin. Classic histological features include hypocellular, hyalinized bands of collagen sharply demarcated from the surrounding skin. Numerous authors have described sclerotic fibroma-like changes in other entities including melanocytic nevi, dermatofibromas, lipomas, tendon sheath fibromas, giant cell collagenomas, neurofibromas, angiofibromas, erythema elevatum diutinum, and folliculitis. Dissension has arisen, with some dermatopathologists asserting that sclerotic fibroma is just an evolutionary end-point of a previous lesion. Others contend that SFS is a distinct lesion and cite recurrent cases and/or proliferation marker studies to corroborate this view. We detail the histopathological findings of lesions consistent with the classic description of SFS and compare these to sclerotic changes observed in an intradermal nevus, blue nevus, erythema elevatum diutinum, neurofollicular hamartoma, angiofibroma, neurofibroma, accessory nipple, and dermatofibromas. Sclerotic fibroma-like change may be seen in a variety of lesions and may represent a common reaction pattern in the skin.

BACKGROUND: Primary pleuropulmonary synovial sarcoma (SS) is a rare neoplasm and a recently recognized anatomic subset. Its clinicopathologic attributes are not yet well defined. METHODS: In this study, the clinical and histopathologic features of 12 SS arising in the lung and/or pleura were analyzed. RESULTS: The neoplasms occurred in 7 men and 5 women, 20-72 years old (median, 31 years), were well circumscribed with a mean size of 7.2 cm, and involved either lung (9 cases), pleura (2 cases), or both (1 case). All the tumors were of monophasic type. Nine showed a classic spindle cell pattern, and three showed predominantly poorly differentiated features. All but one case showed at least focal positivity for epithelial membrane antigen (EMA), a finding characteristic of this tumor. The lack of EMA staining in one case, proven by electron microscopy to be SS, was attributed to the scarcity of material available for immunohistochemical stains. The diagnosis was proven cytogenetically in three cases. Within 2 years, local recurrence developed in 8 patients (75%), 3 of whom developed metastasis (25%). Five patients died of their disease within 2.5 years, 4 of them from uncontrolled local disease. CONCLUSIONS: The authors conclude that pleuropulmonary SS, although rare, represents a distinct anatomic subset having pathologic features similar to those of its soft tissue counterpart. Its clinical behavior appears more aggressive, perhaps because of relatively later presentation combined with the difficulty in obtaining a wide surgical margin.
