Lipomatous mixed tumour of the skin: a histological, immunohistochemical and ultrastructural study

Abstract

The tumour differed from lipomas with myxoid stroma and from lipoadenomas, which show non-proliferating normal sweat glands admixed with adipose tissue. Because of the similarity to lipomatous pleomorphic adenoma/mixed tumour of salivary glands, we suggest that it should be called 'lipomatous mixed tumour of the skin'.
