[Fibroepithelial tumors of Pinkus with extra-dorsal, lumbar and sacral localizations -31 cases].

Abstract

In our series of 70 fibroepithelial tumors of Pinkus, 31 tumors were located outside of the dorsal, lumbar and sacral areas. Moreover, we have noted in the literature 32 ectopic localizations. The clinical and evolutive characteristics are the same as for the dorsal, lumbar and sacral tumors. Thus, the extra-dorsal, lumbar and sacral tumors are much more frequent than usually believed; the clinical diagnosis is however much more difficult since one is deprived of the very important notion of lumbo-sacral localization.
