Keratoacanthoma (KA) is a relatively common skin lesion. We report a case of KA-mimicking squamous cell carcinoma in a 40-year old smoker, who was also having speckeled leukoplakia on the buccal mucosa. The present case highlights the importance of histopathological diagnosis, as the treatment in latter case is aggressive, which is unnecessary if attempted with KA. Moreover, the present report provides an overview of such lesions, which could be encountered in clinical situations for which definitive diagnosis is of paramount importance before the starting of treatment plan.
Cystic endosalpingiosis is a non -neoplastic lesion characterised by multiple cysts lined with benign tubal type epithelium. Our case presented as cystic ovarian neoplasm clinically and radiologically. Patient underwent Total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Microscopically, the cyst consists of multiple cysts lined by benign tubal type epithelium. A diagnosis of subserosal cystic endosalphingiosis was made. Increasing awareness of this entity would be helpful in making correct diagnosis by pathologists.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
