Cutaneous syncytial myoepithelioma (CSM) is a rare type of cutaneous neoplasm that typically presents as a solitary and well-circumscribed nodule on the skin. It predominantly occurs on the upper and lower extremities of adult patients. Immunohistochemically, CSM is characterized by the co-expression of smooth muscle and epithelial markers. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) targeting the EWSR1 gene rearrangement is an important diagnostic tool for CSM. In our case report, we found the focal positivity for CD34, which has never been previously observed; this was mostly confined to a central area of the neoplasm.
皮肤合体性肌上皮瘤(CSM)是一种罕见的皮肤肿瘤,通常表现为皮肤上单个且边界清楚的结节。它主要发生在成年患者的上肢和下肢。免疫组化方面,CSM的特征是平滑肌和上皮标志物的共表达。针对EWSR1基因重排的荧光原位杂交(FISH)是CSM的重要诊断工具。在我们的病例报告中,我们发现CD34呈局灶性阳性,这在之前从未被观察到;这种情况大多局限于肿瘤的中央区域。
