Abstract

Hybrid peripheral nerve sheath tumors (PNSTs) are benign tumors that show features of more than one type of PNST. Benign cutaneous plexiform hybrid tumor of perineurioma and cellular neurothekeoma (BCPHTPCN) is a rare, recently described entity that shows various combinations of histomorphologic and immunophenotypic features of the PNSTs perineurioma and cellular neurothekeoma. Our case describes a middle-aged man initially presenting with an acute papulopustular rosacea flare. Rosacea treatment unmasked a prominent erythematous papule on the forehead. A biopsy was taken, and histopathological examination showed a proliferation of epithelioid, ovoid, and spindled cells arranged in a compact nested and intersecting fascicular growth. Immunohistochemical stains were positive for NKI/C3, CD10, PGP9.5, MITF, and GLUT-1. There was weak reactivity with EMA and minimal reactivity with Claudin-1. Tumor cells were negative for SOX10, CD163, CD68, CD34, ALK, and Pan-TRK. The patient was diagnosed with BCPHTPCN. DNA and RNA sequencing showed a folliculin (FLCN) gene mutation, which is most commonly associated with Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome. The patient underwent excision and has remained without recurrence or complications several months post-diagnosis. We hope to expand the clinical and histopathologic characteristics of this peculiar neoplasm, as well as provide additional insight that might improve our understanding of BCPHTPCN tumorigenesis.

期刊介绍: Journal of Cutaneous Pathology publishes manuscripts broadly relevant to diseases of the skin and mucosae, with the aims of advancing scientific knowledge regarding dermatopathology and enhancing the communication between clinical practitioners and research scientists. Original scientific manuscripts on diagnostic and experimental cutaneous pathology are especially desirable. Timely, pertinent review articles also will be given high priority. Manuscripts based on light, fluorescence, and electron microscopy, histochemistry, immunology, molecular biology, and genetics, as well as allied sciences, are all welcome, provided their principal focus is on cutaneous pathology. Publication time will be kept as short as possible, ensuring that articles will be quickly available to all interested in this speciality.
