A poroma is a benign neoplasm composed of poroid and cuticular cells and is thought to derive from the eccrine duct. Several recent reports have described cases with sebaceous, follicular, and apocrine differentiation, suggesting a possible apocrine origin, however. Trichoblastoma is a rare benign tumor composed of germinative cells related to the folliculosebaceous-apocrine unit. We report a unique case of a trichoblastoma arising within a poroma with apocrine and sebaceous differentiation. To our knowledge, this exceptional association has not been described previously and may support the theory of the apocrine origin of poromas.

It is well known that adnexal skin tumors can simulate other cutaneous neoplasia and that various types of benign and malignant skin tumors can develop or modify during pregnancy. Here, we report a case of trichoblastoma mimicking a keratoacanthoma arising in a nevus sebaceous during pregnancy. Given its unique clinical and dermoscopic features, this case highlights the pivotal role of clinicopathological correlation in the diagnosis of adnexal tumors with an atypical clinical presentation.

Article Synopsis
- - Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is often linked to the Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV), particularly when the virus integrates into the host's DNA and leads to mutations in the Large T antigen (LT), which is essential for the virus's cancer-causing properties.
- - In recent cases involving MCC combined with skin tumors called trichoblastoma and poroma, researchers found evidence of MCC developing from epithelial cells and identified both mutated and wild-type LT sequences.
- - The findings indicate that some MCC cases may contain intact MCPyV genomes and express certain viral proteins, suggesting a more complex interaction between the virus and cancer than previously understood.

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common malignant tumour arising from the basal cells of the epidermis or follicular structures. The aetiology of BCC is a multifactorial combination of genotype, phenotype and environmental factors. The pathogenesis of BCC remains unclear, with diverse and complex signalling pathways involved.

Article Synopsis
- * While most NS remain inactive, there are instances where benign and malignant growths can develop, particularly basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas.
- * The article highlights the first documented case of malignant melanoma arising from a NS in a 68-year-old man in the U.S., noting that such occurrences are extremely uncommon.
