Sebaceoma is a rare benign tumor arising from the sebaceous gland of the skin. Sebaceoma often occurs on the head and neck but rarely on the ears. We present the case of a 78-year-old female patient with a two-year history of a protruding mass in her left ear. Physical examination revealed a well-circumscribed plaque in the crus of the helix of the left ear. A wide local excisional biopsy was taken, and the mass was subjected to histopathologic assessment. While the mass showed cytological findings indicating sebaceoma, it also presented malignant features architecturally and immunohistochemically. Based on these findings, the tumor was regarded as a sebaceoma of borderline malignancy.

Trichilemmal carcinoma (TC) is a rare skin malignant tumor with pillar differentiation. TC presents along with other malignant hair follicle tumors and accounts for only 1% of all adnexal carcinomas. TC usually occurs on sun-exposed skin in elderly people, nevertheless, it can occur at any age. We report a case of trichilemmal cyst carcinoma in a 54-year-old woman presenting with an increasing occipital cyst. A histological examination confirmed the diagnosis and a large excision was performed. Despite the absence of a well-defined consensus on the management of TC, surgical excision with adequate margins seems to be safe in the absence of metastatic lesions. However, in the case of second localization, chemotherapy could be initiated, but again, in this case, no consensus on the appropriate protocols exists.

UNASSIGNED: Steatocystoma multiplex is a benign skin disorder originating from the sebaceous and nevoid ducts. Commonly classified under hamartomas, they are distributed over the trunk, neck, axillae, and groin.
UNASSIGNED: A 28-year-old male patient complained of multiple, asymptomatic skin-colored nodules over the face of 10-year duration. Clinical examination confirmed the historic findings of nontender, polysized, flesh-colored papules and nodules over the said distribution.
UNASSIGNED: On histopathology, a cyst was noted in the mid-dermis, lined by stratified squamous, agranular epithelium, which contained degenerated keratin. Nonpolarized dermoscopy showed a structureless, cream-colored area, and polarized dermoscopy revealed a distinctive, well-circumscribed, yellowish hue which was superimposed over the facial pseudoreticular pigmentary pattern. The findings were compatible with steatocystoma multiplex, and the patient was taken up for radiofrequency ablation.
UNASSIGNED: Herein, we report a rare variant of steatocystoma multiplex limited to the face and scalp subjected to dermatoscopy and characteristic histological correlation. To the best of our knowledge and following a literature search, dermoscopic features of this condition have not been reported thus far.

BACKGROUND: Lymphoepithelial cyst (LEC) of the pancreas is a rare benign tumor. LEC with sebaceous glands of the pancreas is extremely rare, and its histogenesis remains unclear.
METHODS: We present a 66-year-old man with an incidental finding of a cystic lesion at the neck of the pancreas. Pancreatic juice cytology results and elevated serum carbohydrate antigen 19-9 and Dupan-2 levels indicated that the cyst was a potential adenocarcinoma. Therefore, a pancreaticoduodenectomy was performed. Macroscopically, the tumor was a unilocular cyst with a thin transparent wall, filled with soft yellow material. Pathological findings showed that the cyst was lined with squamous epithelium, accompanied by dense lymphoid tissue with scattered germinal centers. There were no hair follicles, but sebaceous glands were present in the lymphoid tissue just beneath the squamous epithelium. Therefore, the histopathological diagnosis was an LEC with sebaceous glands of the pancreas. Furthermore, the squamous epithelium surrounding the cyst was pathologically continuous with the tubular structure, indicating that the tubular structure transitioned into the squamous epithelium.
CONCLUSIONS: We report an extremely rare case of LEC with sebaceous glands of the pancreas. Moreover, the pathological findings, which showed that the tubular structure transitioned into the squamous epithelium, suggested that this was squamous metaplasia. In order to investigate the histogenesis of LEC of the pancreas, the pathological findings must be evaluated.
