Article Abstract

Cutaneous bronchogenic anomalies are rare. We report a 4-year-old boy who presented with a tumour and relapsing infection in the right scapular region. Histopathological examination of this tumour revealed a subcutaneous cystic legion formed by ciliated columnar epithelium with smooth muscle bundles and squamous epithelium with sebaceous glands.

Human papillomaviruses (HPV) are a big group of infection agents with oncogenic potential, especially regarding squamous epithelium. Some high-risk variants are key in the development of squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) across multiple systems, the most affected of which is the female reproductive system, but also parts of the gastrointestinal tract, head, and neck SCC, and cutaneous and pulmonary (bronchogenic) SCCs. In cases where a patient develops two SCCs in different systems, often the main question is whether these tumors are synchronous, metachronous, or if one of the tumors is a metastasis from the other, with HPV testing and stereotype identification often being of aid in differentiating between these.

Cystic structures represent one of the most common findings in dermatopathology. These encompass both cystic tumors and pseudocysts resulting from the accumulation of certain substances, such as mucin. In a two-part series (of which this is the first part), we have reviewed the principal types of cysts and pseudocysts that may be observed in cutaneous biopsies, examining their histopathological features and primary differential diagnoses.

Objective: Masses of the sternoclavicular area are rare, and are not well described in the literature. We aim to present a series of patients with masses in this location and to review all reported English language cases of sternoclavicular masses in pediatric patients.

Methods: This is a case series of pediatric patients with masses of the sternoclavicular area presenting to a tertiary care pediatric hospital from 2010 through 2017.

Bronchogenic cysts are foregut-derived developmental anomalies found along the developmental pathway of the foregut. The putative theory of pathogenesis is abnormal budding or branching of epithelial cells during the development of tracheobronchial tree. Over 99 % of cases occur in the mediastinum and lung while the head and neck area is affected in less than 1 % of cases with only rare cases reported in the oral cavity.
