Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) commonly affects the elderly and is mostly confined to the head and neck region. Only 10% of all cases occur on the trunk. We presented a case of bullous lesion on the abdomen in a young male, initially diagnosed by clinicians as a vascular nevus. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry (IHC) revealed it to be Nodular cystic variant of BCC. This rare va...

OBJECTIVES The frequency of adnexal masses in pregnant women ranges from 0.1% to 4%. Selecting the right approach to manage the subsequent intervention remains one of the most controversial challenges among gynecologists. Our aim in this cross-sectional study was to clarify the clinical-pathological differences among the adnexal masses that are excised during either the antepartum period or ces...

INTRODUCTION Ancient schwannoma is a rare tumor of the peripheral nerve sheath. As degenerative properties are defined histologically, it can be wrongly interpreted as malignant. CASE PRESENTATION The case presented here is of a giant ancient schwannoma with a pelvic retroperitoneal location, which was mimicking an adnexal mass.

Page 19 Abstract Brooke-Spiegler syndrome (BSS) is a rare, inherited, autosomal-dominant genodermatosis characterized by the development of multiple adnexal cutaneous tumors including spiradenomas, cylindromas, spiradenocylindromas, trichoepitheliomas, epidermoid cysts, and milia. We present a case of Brooke-Spiegler syndrome with possible malignant transformation of a benign tumor. Brooke-Spie...

They were all examined by a single Level-II ultrasound operator, who had received training in the systematic examination of ovarian tumors in accordance with the IOTA guide...

Eccrine poromas and porocarcinomas are adnexal tumors derived from the sweat duct epithelium. However, eccrine poroma is benign in nature, whilst eccrine porocarcinoma is regarded as its malignant counterpart. We report the case of a man who presented simultaneously with an eccrine poroma and eccrine porocarcinoma. Both lesions had no clear distinctive features, enhancing the need of high-level...
