Abstract
A 56-year-old female patient with colostomy presented with skin-colored cobblestone and verrucous asymptomatic papules on her peristomal skin for three months; she was referred to dermatology. Histopathology revealed irregular acanthosis, tongue-like extension of rete ridges of mature squamous epithelium without atypical morphology, hyperkeratosis, and inflammation of the skin. The histopathologic appearance was evaluated as compatible with pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia. No signs of malignancy, fungus, or koilocytes were found. The lesions were diagnosed as pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia by clinical and histopathologic findings. In this case report, we review pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia associated with colostomy.

Cutaneous acantholytic dyskeratotic acanthoma accompanying syringofibroadenomatous hyperplasia with proliferation of mature sebocytes: A case report. J Cutan Pathol 2020; 48:451-454.

Abstract
Acantholytic dyskeratotic acanthoma is a rare variant of epidermal acanthoma. It has a flat, plaque-like structure and is characterized microscopically by acantholysis and dyskeratosis. Eccrine syringofibroadenomatous hyperplasia is benign and likely reactive. It has recently been considered as a hyperplastic process affecting the eccrine ducts rather than the neoplasm because of its pathological heterogeneity and wide clinical associations. In this article, we present the case of 97-year-old Japanese women with a 10-mm wide, painful acantholytic dyskeratotic acanthoma accompanied by syringofibroadenomatous hyperplasia in the right femoral region. Although syringofibroadenomatous hyperplasia is known to occur as a reactive process with various dermatoses and cutaneous tumors, to date, there have been no reports of cases of acantholytic dyskeratotic acanthoma accompanying syringofibroadenomatous hyperplasia. Moreover, this case also includes the unusual finding of an increase in the mature sebocytes in the area of the syringofibroadenomatous hyperplasia.

Abstract
A 75-year-old man with human immunodeficiency virus infection and numerous biopsy-proven warts for 10 years, refractory to cryosurgery, cimetidine, and topical imiquimod, presented with numerous pink to hypopigmented verrucous papules and plaques involving the face, trunk, buttocks, and groin. Laboratory evaluation revealed a CD4 T-cell count of 62 cells per microliter and human immunodeficiency virus viral load of <117 copies per milliliter. Biopsy of a plaque groin lesion was performed. Histopathology revealed vertically oriented anastomosing strands of basaloid epithelium arising from multiple points along the epidermis in a background fibrovascular stroma. Ductal differentiation was identified. Areas of epidermis showed compact orthokeratosis, coarse hypergranulosis, and keratinocytes with abundant steel-blue-gray cytoplasm, indicative of viral cytopathic changes. Cytologic atypia was not identified. Human papillomavirus (HPV) genotyping of this lesion was positive for types 5 and 14. Overall, the findings were consistent with epidermodysplasia verruciformis in association with eccrine syringofibroadenoma (ESFA). The patient was subsequently treated with acitretin and showed clinical improvement. ESFA is an uncommon benign adnexal tumor with unknown pathogenesis. Although its association with HPV has rarely been reported, ESFA in the setting of acquired epidermodysplasia verruciformis has not been described. The development of ESFA in this case may be the result of HPV-induced cellular transformation.

Abstract
Epidermodysplasia verruciformis (EV) is a genodermatosis characterized by overgrowth of flat warts, pityriasis versicolor-like lesions and an increased propensity for developing cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas due to abnormal susceptibility to infection with beta-human papilloma viruses. Adnexal tumors are not typically associated with EV. Here we report a spectrum of hybrid adnexal tumors with divergent eccrine and folliculosebaceous differentiation, and cytologic features ranging from benign to frankly atypical, in a patient with inherited EV.

Abstract
The authors report 11 cases of extramammary Paget disease (EMPD), all of which also demonstrated a combination of histological changes highly reminiscent of syringocystadenocarcinoma papilliferum in situ. In addition to the classical features of EMPD, characterized by the intraepidermal spread of individually dispersed neoplastic cells with ample cytoplasm, many of which contained mucin, there were areas of acanthosis with the substitution of spinous layer keratinocytes by neoplastic cells, whereas the native basal cell layer was intact. In addition to acanthosis (and sometimes papillomatosis), the dermal papillae showed a prominent infiltrate of plasma cells, completing the resemblance to syringocystadenocarcinoma papilliferum in situ; this similarity was further enhanced in 2 cases, which showed conspicuous gland formation. One additional case showed multifocal dermal proliferations compatible with eccrine syringofibroadenoma (syringofibroadenomatous hyperplasia). The changes described herein seem to be relatively rare in EMPD, and they can represent a diagnostic pitfall, as evidenced by 2 cases that were originally misinterpreted as syringocystadenocarcinoma papilliferum in situ. Clinically, these microscopic changes sometimes corresponded to nodular lesions, which were specifically noted to have a papillated erosive surface.

Abstract
Literature has highlighted that peristomal skin problems are common among ostomists (Williams et al, 2010); however, peristoma metastases are considered to be very rare. Peristomal metastases tend to manifest as cutaneous or subcutaneous nodules, or as a rash on the anterior abdominal wall (Lyon and Smith, 2001), and are therefore easily mistaken for a more common stoma complication. The role of the specialist nurse in stoma care is crucial to recognizin unusual skin lesions and referring appropriately for further assessmet and treatment. Highlighting the need for education and sharing of clinical skills, this article explores the care of a patient who was diagnosed with a second primary peristomal adenocarinoma. The patient has consented to the use of this case study, and, to maintain confidentiality, his name has been changed.

Abstract
Long considered as ectopic breast tissue, anogenital mammary-like glands (MLGs) have recently been suggested to represent distinctive structures located in the anogenital area. We studied 16 neoplasms of anogenital MLG for human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA using INNO-line probe assay (LiPA) HPV Genotyping kit, GP5+/6+, CP(SGB), and FAP 6085-6319 primer sets. The lesions included 3 fibroadenomas, 2 adenosis tumors, 1 invasive ductal carcinoma, 1 tubulolobular carcinoma, 2 hidradenoma papilliferum with prominent cystic change rendering a cystadenoma appearance and oxyphilic metaplasia, and 7 cases of extramammary Paget disease. All 3 fibroadenomas, both adenosis tumors, both hidradenoma papilliferum, and the tubulolobular carcinoma proved negative for HPV DNA. HPV-31 was detected by LiPA in the case of invasive ductal carcinoma. In 2 of the 7 patients with extramammary Paget disease, there was HPV DNA present in the lesional tissue, typed as HPV-6 (LiPA) and a type which was closely related to HPV-21 and HPV-24 (FAP 6085-6319), whereas the remaining 5 cases tested negative. These results coupled with those obtained from literature review suggest that HPV plays no causative role in lesions of anogenital MLG.

Abstract
The authors report 10 cases of lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma (LELC) of the skin and the results of a molecular biological study for HPV, EBV, and SV40 in lesional tissues. All patients originated from Central Europe. There were seven men and three women, ranging in age from 57 to 86 years. Locations included the face (n = 4), scalp (n = 2), penis (n = 2), and retroauricular area (n = 1); location was unknown for one subject. All but two patients presented with a tumor confined to the skin; in both patients with the penile carcinoma, the tumors had metastasized to an inguinal lymph node. Six patients with available follow-up included four individuals with no evidence of tumor metastasis or recurrences at 2, 3, 4, and 5 years, one patient who died with metastatic disease 7 years after diagnosis, and one patient who died of an unrelated course. Microscopically, all cases showed distinctive features of LELC characterized by variably sized and shaped nodules or syncytial sheets of epithelial cells that contained vesicular chromatic and prominent nucleoli and that were permeated and surrounded by small, well-differentiated lymphocytes and plasma cells. Because all 10 cases studied proved negative for EBV, HPV, and SV40, these viruses seem to play no causal role in LELC of the skin in patients from Central Europe.

Abstract
Eccrine syringofibroadenoma (ESFA) is a rare, benign, adnexal neoplasm thought to be eccrine ductal differentiation displaying variable clinical findings and characteristic histological features. It usually occurs as a solitary nodule on the extremities of an elderly person. Histological findings typically show a proliferation of anastomosing strands, cords, and columns of monomorphous epithelial cells that harbor eccrine duct formations embedded in a fibrovascular stroma. Acrosyringial nevus, though usually regarded as an identical lesion, is sometimes regarded as a different entity showing prominent plasma cell infiltration. We report two cases of solitary ESFA with prominent plasma cell infiltration. Clinicopathological features of both cases suggest that acrosyringeal nevus and ESFA may be of the same disease entity. Prominent plasma cell infiltration may be just one of the common histological features of ESFA.
