obsolete facial neoplasm

Description

Based on the provided context, it appears that there are several types of facial neoplasms that have been considered obsolete or rare.

  • One such condition is Congenital Infiltrating Lipomatosis of the Face [8], a rare disorder characterized by a diffuse fatty infiltration of the soft tissues of the face.
  • Another condition mentioned is Malignant Neoplasm of the Nasopharynx, which is a primary malignancy of the mucosa (lining) of the nasopharynx, but it's not specifically related to facial neoplasms [6].
  • Additionally, there are various types of benign lesions of the middle ear that have manifestations within the temporal bone, such as Benign Lesions of the Middle Ear [7], but these are not directly related to facial neoplasms.

However, it's worth noting that one condition mentioned in the context is Congenital Infiltrating Lipomatosis of the Face, which is a rare disorder affecting the face. This condition is characterized by a diffuse fatty infiltration of the soft tissues of the face [8].

It's also mentioned that there are various types of facial neoplasms, including Nodular, Ulcerative, Superficial, Multicentric, Erythematous, and Sclerosing or Morphea-like forms, but these are not specifically described as obsolete [9].

It's also worth noting that the term "follicle center" is mentioned in the context, which is sometimes used to describe follicular lymphoma, although this term is considered obsolete [5].

Additional Characteristics

  • Congenital Infiltrating Lipomatosis of the Face
  • Malignant Neoplasm of the Nasopharynx
  • Benign Lesions of the Middle Ear

Signs and Symptoms

Diagnostic Tests

Based on the provided context, it appears that you are looking for information on diagnostic tests for an obsolete facial neoplasm.

According to search result [13], the obsolete name for this neoplasia is juvenile melanoma. However, the most relevant form of melanocytic neoplasm in facial surgery is lentigo maligna, which arises most frequently on sun-exposed areas, such as the hands and face.

Diagnostic tests for lentigo maligna may include:

  • Dermatoscopic examination: This can help identify subtle features that are often difficult to diagnose by clinical examination alone [13].
  • Biopsy: A skin biopsy may be performed to confirm the diagnosis of lentigo maligna.
  • Histopathological examination: Examination of tissue samples under a microscope can provide a definitive diagnosis.

It's worth noting that the incidence of melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancers is rising, and malignant tumors of the facial skin pose a challenge in treatment [14]. Therefore, accurate diagnosis and early detection are crucial for effective management.

Differential Diagnosis

Based on the provided context, it appears that you are looking for information on the differential diagnosis of an obsolete facial neoplasm.

The differential diagnosis of a facial neoplasm can be complex and involves considering various conditions. According to search result [1], Ewing sarcoma is a tumor lesion that primarily affects bones but can also appear as a primary tumor of the skin. This condition should be considered in the differential diagnosis of small blue pediatric tumors, such as acute myeloid leukemia, Ewing sarcoma, T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), and other similar conditions [1].

In addition to Ewing sarcoma, other conditions that may be considered in the differential diagnosis of a facial neoplasm include inflammatory dermatoses, such as psoriasis and nummular dermatitis, as well as lichenoid keratosis, actinic keratosis, and hemangiomas [3]. Cystic metastasis of a squamous cell carcinoma is also an important consideration in the differential diagnosis, particularly if the neoplasm originates from the oropharynx [4][8].

Other conditions that may be considered in the differential diagnosis include adenosquamous carcinoma, which is a rare cutaneous malignant neoplasm with mixed glandular and squamous differentiation [6]. Phymatous rosacea, scleromyxedema, actinic reticuloid, leprosy, leishmaniasis, and lymphoma are also conditions that may be considered in the differential diagnosis of a facial neoplasm [7].

It's worth noting that the face is a common area for the development of skin cancers due to frequent exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. Therefore, it's essential to consider skin cancer, such as basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, in the differential diagnosis of a facial neoplasm [15].

In summary, the differential diagnosis of an obsolete facial neoplasm can be complex and involves considering various conditions, including Ewing sarcoma, inflammatory dermatoses, cystic metastasis of a squamous cell carcinoma, adenosquamous carcinoma, phymatous rosacea, scleromyxedema, actinic reticuloid, leprosy, leishmaniasis, lymphoma, and skin cancer.
