This abdominal mass maybe due to late inflammatory and secondary hyperplastic epidermal changes after surgery.

These superficial levels look like a superficial angiomyxoma. However we are not seeing the deeper aspect of the specimen/ lesion to exclude a low-grade fibromyxosarcoma or a myxofibrosarcoma, spreading up into the skin (though very unlikely)- particularly since the clinical description (mass) sounds worrying! However if this is a superficial lesion and the histo of the remaining part of the lesion is no more worrying, I would go with a benign Superficial angiomyxoma.

How about chronic lymphoedema as a differential? Scarring, vertical vessels, chronic inflammation, haemosiderin. Any history of surgery etc. Reminded me of the mass lesions seen in anogenital regions in chronic lymphoedema.

I think this case is a Chronic papillomatous dermatitis probably secondary to a stoma irritant contact dermatitis. The patient could have a stoma after a gastrointestinal cancer surgery.
This alteration has been described together with lymphoedema and hyperplasic epithelial changes.

There´s a nice paper by Dr. Carlson who also demonstrated HPV interacting with this alteration:
[url="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22699864"]http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22699864[/url]

I also want to congratulate our friend Dr. Robledo for his Birthday. I wish you good health, happiness and nice dermpath cases in your life.

I had the same impression of Dr. Richard Carr. The histological findings did not remind me a superficial angiomyxoma. I am wondering if the patient is a morbidly obese one and the diagnosis could be elephantiasis nostras verrucosa. I think clinicopathologic correlation is absolutely necessary.

[color="#000000"]I'm thinking of chronic lymphedema with syringofibroadenomatous hyperplasia supported by dermal edema, mild lymphocytic perivascular infiltrate, hemosiderin deposition, and dilated thick-walled vessels arranged perpendicularly to the skin surface.[/color]
