MUCINOUS SYRINGOMETAPLASIA - A CASE-REPORT WITH REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE

We describe a case of mucinous syringometaplasia in a 53-year-old man. The lesion was located on a previously unreported site, the shaft of the penis. Histologically the lesion contained bland mucinous cells in acrosyringia that extended to the adjacent epidermis. A review of pre viously reported cases is provided. Even though the name given to this entity implies a reactive nonneoplastic condition, the possibility th at this is a benign intraepithelial mucinous neoplasm has not been rul ed out. The main differential diagnosis is with extramammary Paget's d isease.
