Acantholytic squamous cell carcinoma: Pathological study of three cases in Ecuador
Eduardo Garzon Aldas and Gabriela Torres D
Central University of Ecuador, Ecuador
Adenoid squamous cell carcinoma is an uncommon histopathological variant of squamous cell carcinoma
characterized by acantholysis of tumor cells creating pseudolumina and the appearance of glandular
differentiation. It is also known as pseudoglandular, pseudo angiosarcoma, adenoid, epithelioma dyskeratotic or
adenoacanthoma. In this article we describe and analyze 3 cases of acantholytic cell carcinoma. The purpose is to
verify if the data of our cases can be validated with scientific information. All our cases presented lesions in the
face, in one of them the tumor developed on the skin that showed actinic keratosis. The other 2 tumors were in the
right side of the face, and both were big, approximately the biggest 8 x 4, and the other one 6 x 2.5 cm. Due to the
size and location, they were both send to the oncologist for the treatment. One of our cases showed metatypical
carcinomas plus acantholytic variant of squamous cell carcinoma. None of our cases presented metastasis. The
histopathological findings were: keratinized squamous tumor cell type, adenoid structures with round spaces with
a defined wall with at least one cell width and spaces with isolated or group of dyskeratotic cells.
