Mass Forming Basement Membrane Material Secondary to Adnexal Adenocarcinoma - a Case Report

Int J Surg Pathol. 2022 Dec;30(8):908-911. doi: 10.1177/10668969221086942. Epub 2022 Mar 21.

Abstract

We report a 77-year-old male with biopsy proven adnexal adenocarcinoma where there was only mass deposit of basement membrane material in the therapeutic excision. To our knowledge, this finding is extremely rare and has not been previously described in the literature and necessitates distinction from other conditions which cause eosinophilic hyaline deposits within the dermis.

Keywords: adnexal adenocarcinoma; amyloidosis; basement membrane deposit; colloid milium; cutaneous deposits.
