Figure

• 

  Fig. 1 (A) An ulcerated black tumor mass on her face. (B) A keratotic black nodule on her left cheek; the arrow indicates the lesion. (C) A black nodule on her neck. (D) A black nodule on her back. (E) Histopathology of the tumor on her face showing tumor nests extending to the subcutaneous tissue (H&E, ×40). (F) Some tumor nests arranged in an anastomosing fashion (H&E, ×200). (G) Histopathology of the tumor on her cheek showing large tumor nests that extend into the deep dermis (H&E, ×40). (H) Each tumor nest showing a palisading arrangement (H&E, ×100). We received the patient's consent form about publishing all photographic materials.

  Fig. 2 (A) A nodule adjacent to the tumor mass on her left cheek; the arrow indicates the lesion. (B) Histopathology showing anastomosing tumor nests extending into the deep dermis in conjunction to the epidermis (H&E, ×40). (C) Infundibular structures situated in the center of the tumor (H&E, ×100). (D) A subcutaneous tumor on her left buttock. (E) Histopathology showing a well-circumscribed tumor with a surrounding cleft in the deep dermis. No continuity of the epidermis and the tumor was found (H&E, ×20). (F) Some of tumor nests showing a differentiation toward follicular structures (H&E, ×400).
