“…These figures are in line with those of several published cost-effectiveness studies in pathology. For comparison, one study 11 concluded that clinically diagnosed cutaneous fibroepithelial polyps did not require microscopic examination because the global pathology charges to detect any malignancy or any potentially lifethreatening malignancy in such specimens were $7430.61 and $37 153.05, respectively. In contrast, the same group suggested that it was cost-effective to examine clinically diagnosed seborrheic keratoses by histopathologic methods (at $937.55 to detect a malignant tumor).…”

“…Hayes and Berry 3 reported the first unsuspected basal cell carcinoma (BCC) in a skin tag. Three years later, Eads et al 4 reported five malignant tumors [four BCCs and one in situ squamous cell carcinoma (SCC)] out of 1135 benign specimens with a skin tag or similar clinical diagnosis submitted for histopathological examination. In the following years, Schwartz et al 1 reported a keratoacanthoma-like SCC and Aksoy et al 5 reported an additional BCC in acrochorda.…”

“…Com relação aos acrocórdons, há um estudo que sugere a desobrigação de analisar microscopicamente essas lesões. 10 Os autores encontraram cinco casos de malignidade em meio a 1.335 lesões com suspeita clínica de póli-po fibroepitelial estudadas. 10 Por outro lado, raramente schwanoma 11 e nevo écrino 12 podem ser confundidos clinicamente com acrocórdons.…”

Os cistos epidér-micos também podem abrigar neoplasias não diagnosticadas clinicamente, como carcinoma basocelular 13,14 e carcinoma epidermóide.…”
