To report a case of pigmented caruncular oncocytoma that simulated malignant melanoma and discuss the associated ultrasonographic and pathologic features.
Case report.
An 81-year-old female presented with a painless caruncular mass with a smooth brown surface suspicious for melanoma. Ultrasound biomicroscopy revealed a round mass with a large central cavity, more suggestive of a cystic rather than solid lesion. Following complete surgical resection, histopathology revealed a cystadenomatous lesion composed of bland cells with copious eosinophilic cytoplasm consistent with oncocytoma that had a central blood-filled cavity.
Oncocytoma is a benign tumor that can appear pigmented clinically and resemble melanoma. The definitive diagnosis requires histopathologic evaluation. Oncocytoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a pigmented caruncular mass.
报告一例色素沉着性泪阜嗜酸性细胞瘤,其临床表现类似恶性黑色素瘤,并探讨相关的超声及病理特征。
病例报告。
一名81岁女性患者,泪阜出现无痛性肿物,表面光滑呈褐色,怀疑为黑色素瘤。超声生物显微镜检查显示为圆形肿物,中央有一个大腔,更提示为囊性而非实性病变。完整手术切除后,组织病理学显示为囊腺瘤性病变,由细胞温和、富含嗜酸性细胞质的细胞组成,符合嗜酸性细胞瘤,且中央有充满血液的腔。
嗜酸性细胞瘤是一种良性肿瘤,临床上可表现为色素沉着,类似黑色素瘤。明确诊断需要组织病理学评估。在色素沉着性泪阜肿物的鉴别诊断中应考虑嗜酸性细胞瘤。
