J Cutan Pathol. 2022 Apr;49(4):369-372. doi: 10.1111/cup.14161. Epub 2021 Nov 16.

Abstract

We present a giant vascular spiradenocylindroma (GVSC) with a unique presentation. The diagnosis of GVSC can be clinically and radiologically elusive. The differential diagnosis includes angiolipoma, angiosarcoma, and glomus-tumor-like vascular lesions. Dermatologists should consider this variant of spiradenocylindroma in any vascular-like lesion.

Keywords: adnexal neoplasms; dermatopathology; pathology.
