Cutaneous adnexal tumors are neoplasms that arise from skin appendages. Their morphologic diversity and phenotypic variability with rare progression to malignancy make them difficult to diagnose and classify, and there is currently no established treatment strategy. To overcome these difficulties, this study investigated the transcription factor SOX9 expression, morphology, and genetics of skin adnexal tumors for understanding their biology, especially their histogenesis.

Background: Malignant pilomatricoma (MP) is a rare cancer of the hair matrix with only a few cases reported in literature. Given the rarity of this cancer and the lack of relevant genetic data, very little is known about the nature of the molecular pathophysiology except the involvement of the Catenin Beta 1 (CTNNB1)/Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in some cases.
Materials And Methods: We describe the whole-exome genomic profiling of four samples from two patients: 1) an MP from patient I, 2) a coexisting benign pilomatricoma (BP) from patient I, 3) a BP from an age and location-matched control patient II, and 4) normal skin tissue from patient II.

Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RTS) is an autosomaldominant hereditary disease, which contains many skeletal and organ anomalies as well as mental retardation. Although high incidence of keloids in RTS is known, it is difficult to find a detailed report on the clinical features of keloids. In the following letter, we report an RTS patient fulfilling diagnostic criteria whosuffered from both keloids and pilomatricoma.

Gardner syndrome (GS) is caused by mutations in the APC and besides adenomatous colorectal polyps includes such manifestations as osteomas, epidermoid cysts (ECs) and occasionally multiple pilomatricomas. More than 50 % of ECs in patients with GS exhibit pilomatricoma-like ghost cell keratinization. The latter may be explained by the fact that the development of both GS and pilomatricoma is driven by activation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

This article describes the first published case of coexistence in a child of a rare hybrid odontogenic ghost cell tumor and a solitary cutaneous pilomatrixoma. An 11-year-old boy presented with a large well-defined unilocular radiolucent lesion in the right posterior mandible. Marsupialization followed by enucleation of the remaining lesion at a later period was the treatment of choice.
