The tumor cells were immunoreactive for EMA, BerEp-4, CK7, and, AE1/3 with variable positive stains of Androgen receptor,
CK8/18, and Vimentin, but were negative for immunostains of S100, HMB45, CK20, TTF-1, RCC, and PSA. The neoplastic cells
from the foci of apocrine differentiation were immunoreactive for GCDFP-15 and CK8/18. Immunostains for mismatch repair genes
includnig hMLH1, hMSH2, hMSH6, PMSH2 and RT-PCR for microsatellite instability studies including MSI (T) and MSI(C) were
negative.

Abstract
A skin biopsy from a nasal lesion showed a dermal infiltrating neoplasm composed of
polygonal cells with small nuclei and abundant coarsely granular eosinophilic cytoplasm.
Light microscopic features were that of a granular cell tumor. However, the results of the
immunohistologic studies and the observations of the electron microscopic studies did
not identify the nature of the cells nor did they confirm that it was a granular cell tumor.
We interpret the lesion as a pseudogranular cell tumor of the skin.

Abstract
Medical students and the trainees in dermatology and pathology have a curiosity about the names, such as,
acne vulgaris or verruca vulgaris. The word “vulgaris” sounds like vulgar, commonly meaning crudely
indecent, coarse, or obscene. However, the word “vulgar” is derived from the Latin word “vulgaris”, meaning
“of or belonging to the common people”. In medical terminology, the word “vulgaris” means common or
ordinary.
A search through the indexes in Dermatology and Pathology text books revealed seven dermatologic
conditions with “vulgaris” in their names. These included very common diseases, such as, acne vulgaris and
verruca vulgaris as well as now rarely diagnosed disease, such as, lupus vulgaris. We are briefly reviewing
the seven “vulgaris” diseases of the skin.

Case presentation
We report a case of a 59-year-old woman with a cutaneous
leiomyosarcoma associated with osteoclast-like giant cells arising from the
subcutaneous artery of the leg. The nature of the giant cells is discussed in
light of the findings from the immunostaining as well as survey of the
literature.

Abstract
Dermatomyofibroma is a rare, benign cutaneous tumor derived from
myofibroblasts. It is predominantly found in young women, and only a few
cases have been reported in males. This entity is not generally well known and
often misdiagnosed. We report such a case of dermatofibroma occurring in a
23-year-old male with a brief review of the English literature.

Abstract
We report a case of a 50-year-old man who developed a possible implantation

Abstract
A 58-year-old Caucasian woman presented with a cystic lump behind the right ear
that was clinically diagnosed as an infected sebaceous cyst. The lesion was
treated with incision and drainage followed by antibiotics for 3 months. Because
there was no resolution, a biopsy was performed that revealed a high grade
angiosarcoma. She expired 2 months later. Cutaneous angiosarcoma is an
extremely aggressive tumor. Therefore early diagnosis and management is crucial
in providing better patient care.

We are reporting a case of CD34-positive fibroma of the lip. English literature is briefly reviewed.
Case Report
A 56-year-old female presented with a slightly raised nodule on the lower lip measuring 0.7 x 0.7 cm. This lesion was noted by
the patient for about a month. There was no history of trauma or previous biopsy at this site. An excisional biopsy was performed.

Abstract
We are reporting two cases of perianal squamous cell carcinoma in-situ, negative for high-risk (HR) and
low-risk (LR) human papilloma viruses. A brief review of anal and perianal squamous cell carcinoma and
the role of HPV are presented.
Introduction
Squamous cell carcinoma, the second most common form of skin cancer, most often affects sun-exposed
surfaces. However, squamous cell carcinoma can involve skin surfaces not previously exposed to sunlight,
such as in the anal and perianal regions. Invasive perianal squamous cell carcinoma is a locally infiltrative
malignant skin tumor that exhibits destructive growth. It is a relatively uncommon tumor, which develops
from the precursor lesion anal intraepithelial neoplasia (AIN). Immunosuppression is felt to be a risk factor.

An-86-year-old male with a history of multiple actinic keratoses and seborrheic
keratoses of the head and trunk presented with a mid-back skin lesion. The lesion
was poorly circumscribed, flat, and gray, with a pink-tan, well-circumscribed scaly
nodule within it. The biopsied lesion was composed of the usual features of
hyperkeratotic seborrheic keratosis, but with focal atypical melanocytic proliferation
with nesting along the dermal-epidermal junction. We interpreted this lesion as a
melanoma in-situ arising within a seborrheic keratosis.
