Sebaceoma on the scalp simulating a malignant pigmented neoplasia^☆ ^☆☆

Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

The correct identification of pigmented nodular lesions of the scalp is often challenging. Despite the importance of clinical patterns and dermoscopy, important adjuvant tools that are usually helpful, their interpretation sometimes is not clear-cut. Here, the authors discuss a case of sebaceoma mimicking a malignant pigmented neoplasia, with conclusive histopathology.

Figure 1 Blackened nodule upon erythematous base with central crust at the apex of the scalp.

Figure 2 Hematic crust and peripheral red-milky area with poorly defined globules on dermoscopy.

Figure 3 Pathological features of sebaceoma. Regularly contoured epithelial neoplasia arranged in “v” with the apex pointing toward the depth. There is acanthosis on the left and predominance of dermal masses on the right, conferring intrinsic asymmetry, an unusual characteristic for this type of proliferation. The masses have regular shapes and sizes, are predominantly rounded or oval, and are immersed in collagenized stroma. In this panoramic magnification, it is already possible to perceive clusters of epithelial cells of pale cytoplasm permeating the masses; this is representative of mature sebocytes (hematoxylin and eosin, ×20).

Thumbnail

Figure 4 Pathological features of sebaceoma. Detail of epithelial massive arranged in the dermis. The predominance of vesicle-like epithelial cells and scarce cytoplasm (immature sebocytes) can be noted, which are less permeated by pale cytoplasm cells, containing lipid vacuoles, some with indented nuclei (mature sebocytes), randomly arranged and associated with ducts. There is absence of palisade in the periphery of the masses (hematoxylin and eosin, ×200).

Figure 5 Immunohistochemical staining of the skin biopsy: positivity in the immunohistochemical reaction with the anti-EMA antibody in a cytoplasmic reticular pattern around the lipid vacuoles (original magnification of ×400).
