[Dermoscopic characterization of 3 cases of fibroepithelioma of Pinkus].

چکیده
Fibroepithelioma of Pinkus is considered to be a rare variant of basal cell carcinoma with well-defined histopathological features. Clinical diagnosis often requires differentiation from benign lesions such as acrochordon, intradermal melanocytic nevus, neurofibroma, seborrheic keratosis, and even malignant lesions such as amelanotic melanoma. Dermoscopy of this type of lesion is not extensively described in the literature, though it usually presents certain specific characteristics that suggest the diagnosis and, therefore, an appropriate therapeutic approach. We present 3 cases of fibroepithelioma of Pinkus, describing their clinical, dermoscopic, and histopathological features.

Recently, use of a new immunostaining marker and further dermoscopic characterization of FeP have advanced the debate about its proper classification. PURPOSE A review of the evidence for and ...

Fibroepithelioma of Pinkus (FEP) is a rare indolent variety of basal cell carcinoma that is typically polypoid and located on the trunk of adult males aged 40-60 years. Basal cell carcinoma (including FEP) is very rare in the pediatric population. We are reporting such a case occurring in a 9-year-old boy.

We report two new cases of cystic fibroepithelioma of Pinkus together with immunohistochemical features and analyze the presence of cystic changes in a series of 16 classical fibroepitheliomas of Pinkus. Our findings show that the formation of cystic spaces is most probably caused by ischemic degeneration of stromal fenestrations, rather than by central tumor cell necrosis. This finding is supp...

BCC: basal cell carcinoma FEP: fibroepithelioma of Pinkus INTRODUCTION First described by Herman Pinkus in 1953 as a premalignant epithelial neoplasm from which a basal cell carcinoma (BCC) may arise, fibroepithelioma of Pinkus (FEP) is viewed by most as a subtype of BCC, although some view it as a subtype of trichoblastoma. FEP classically appears clinically as a solitary skin-colored papule, ...
