Carcinoma anexial microquístico. A propósito de un caso

Abstract

Resumen: El carcinoma anexial microquístico (CAM) se caracteriza por ser una neoplasia poco frecuente, de crecimiento lento, invasivo y localmente destructivo. La incidencia de la invasión perineural y la recurrencia del tumor son altas. Se comunica el caso de una paciente de 56 años, sin antecedentes relevantes, que presenta una placa indurada paranasal izquierda, de 30 años de evolución. Se realiza biopsia profunda arribándose al
diagnóstico de carcinoma anexial microquístico. Dada las características del tumor, se indica tratamiento con cirugía micrográfica de Mohs
(Dermatol Argent 2009;15(2):131-133).

Title: Microcystic adnexal carcinoma, a case report

Abstract: Microcystic adnexal carcinoma (MAC) is a very infrequent, slow growing, invasive and locally destructive cutaneous neoplasia. The incidence of the perineural infiltration and tumor recurrence are very high. We report a case of a 56-year-old patient, with no relevant personal history and an indurated erythematous plaque along the left perinasal fold hat she had noticed more than 30 years before. A deep biopsy was performed arriving to the diagnoses of MAC. Given tumor characteristics, Mohs micrographic surgery was performed
(Dermatol Argent 2009;15(2):131-133).

Key words: microcystic adnexal carcinoma (MAC).
