Sclerosing Sweat Duct-Like Carcinoma of the Tongue-A Case Report and a Review of the Literature.

Petersson, Fredrik ; Skogvall, Ingela LU and Elmberger, Göran (2009) In American Journal of Dermatopathology 31(7). p.691-694
Abstract
In this article, we present the second case of a tongue carcinoma with distinct morphological similarities to a primary sclerosing sweat duct carcinoma of the skin. The tumor infiltrated deeply into the striated muscle and exhibited extensive peri- and intraneural growth. Neoplastic cells had mildly pleomorphic nuclei and displayed in addition to small cysts, distinct duct formation with a bilayered epithelium. Mitotic figures were scarce. Despite extensive sampling, no precursor lesion-dysplasia-was found. The immunochemical study showed positive reaction for carcinoembryonic antigen, epithelial membrane antigen, cytokeratin (CK)7, low-molecular weight CK, BerEp4, high-molecular weight CK, CK5, and CK18. p63 was positive in the peripheral...
