Cutaneous metastases are an uncommon feature of solid organ malignancies. The cost of multiple investigations and prolonged processing time of biopsies may lead to diagnostic delays especially in resource limited practice settings. Dermoscopy can provide useful clues and has been found to be useful in the diagnosis of cutaneous metastases. Dermoscopic findings of skin lesions may limit unnecessary investigations and shorten time to diagnosis. There are limited data on dermoscopic features of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma in the literature. We report dermoscopic features of cutaneous metastasis of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma seen in a black African child.
皮肤转移是实体器官恶性肿瘤的一种罕见特征。多次检查的费用以及活检延长的处理时间可能导致诊断延迟,尤其是在资源有限的临床环境中。皮肤镜检查可以提供有用的线索,并且已发现其在皮肤转移瘤的诊断中很有用。皮肤病变的皮肤镜检查结果可能会减少不必要的检查并缩短诊断时间。文献中关于胚胎性横纹肌肉瘤皮肤镜特征的数据有限。我们报告了一名非洲黑人儿童中所见的胚胎性横纹肌肉瘤皮肤转移的皮肤镜特征。
