Eccrine porocarcinoma is an uncommon malignant adnexal tumor of the skin. Eccrine porocarcinoma is an adenocarcinoma of the eccrine sweat gland with a propensity to recur locally and gives metastases to regional lymph nodes. This paper presents a cytologic diagnosis by fine needle aspiration of an eccrine porocarcinoma along with histopathology and immunocyto-histochemistry.
The cytologic findings of an eccrine porocarcinoma in a 76-year-old female and histologic features of the skin tumor are reported. Cytologically in fine needle aspiration biopsy, the tumor was characterized by atypical malignant cells with basophilic cytoplasm, hyperchromatic nuclei and prominent nucleoli. The cytologic diagnosis was confirmed by histology.
The accurate preoperative diagnosis of eccrine porocarcinoma is crucial to developing a curative surgical plan. Fine needle aspiration cytology provides a convenient, safe and effective approach to solving a challenging differential diagnosis.
小汗腺汗孔癌是一种罕见的皮肤附属器恶性肿瘤。小汗腺汗孔癌是一种小汗腺腺癌,易局部复发并可转移至区域淋巴结。本文介绍了一例通过细针穿刺抽吸诊断小汗腺汗孔癌的病例,并结合组织病理学和免疫细胞组织化学检查。
报告了一名76岁女性小汗腺汗孔癌的细胞学检查结果及该皮肤肿瘤的组织学特征。在细针穿刺活检的细胞学检查中,肿瘤表现为具有嗜碱性细胞质、核深染和明显核仁的非典型恶性细胞。组织学检查证实了细胞学诊断。
小汗腺汗孔癌的准确术前诊断对于制定根治性手术方案至关重要。细针穿刺细胞学检查为解决具有挑战性的鉴别诊断提供了一种方便、安全且有效的方法。
