    Author: Demarchi A, Bellis D, Nunziata R, Coverlizza S.
    Journal: Pathologica; 2003 Dec; 95(6):447-51. PubMed ID: 15080524.
    Abstract:
    AIM: We describe a case of Aggressive Digital Papillary Adenocarcinoma, a rare skin neoplasm with acral location. RESULTS: The patient, a 66 year old man, presented with an ulcerated mass of the fifth toe of the left foot, 4.4 cm in size. Histologically the tumour was characterized by a solid-cystic structure, with extensive papillary component, comedo necrosis and focal eccrine differentiation. Immunohistochemistry showed diffuse positivity for cytokeratins AE1/AE3 and 7, and, focal staining for Muscle Specific Actin, Vimentin and EMA. Chest CT scan showed the presence of a single pulmonary node, whose cytological features were consistent with a metastatic disease. CONCLUSIONS: The clinico-pathological features of the present are similar to those previously reported in the literature and confirms the aggressive nature of this neoplasm.
