Synopsis
benign dermal nodule / benign cutaneous nodule
eccrine derivation / apocrine gland derivation
biphasic cellular population
- (1) round cells , fusiform cells , or polygonal cells with vesicular nuclei and eosinophilic cytoplasm
- (2) clear cells with clear cytoplasm and often eccentrically located nuclei
dermal nodule with ducts
cuboidal cells with pink cytoplasm
clear cell degeneration
halinized stroma
Molecular biology
TORC1-MAML2 fusion gene by t(11;19)(q21;p13)
- fusion of the N-terminal CREB-binding domain of the cAMP coactivator TORC1 (a.k.a. MECT1 and WAMTP1) to the Notch coactivator MAML2.
