A neonate with malignant ectomesenchymoma.

Abstract

Malignant ectomesenchymoma is a rare tumor reported in head-neck, abdomen and perineal regions. It consists of mesenchymal and neuroectodermal elements. In this tumor group, neoplastic cells are differentiated into neuronal cells. It also has at least one malignant mesenchymal element, generally rhabdomyosarcoma. In this report we present a neonate with ectomesenchymoma.

Malignant melanocytic trichoblastoma.

Trichoblastoma is an uncommon benign cutaneous neoplasm of the hair germ cell. The pigmented variety of the tumor is rare. There have only been a few case reports describing the malignant counterpart of trichoblastoma. There are no reports describing a pigmented variety of malignant trichoblastoma. We are presenting a case report of a 47-year-old patient with malignant trichoblastoma containing melanin deposits and propose to define this variety of the tumor as a separate entity: malignant melanocytic trichoblastoma.
