Trabecular cell carcinoma--report of a case.
Trabecular cell carcinoma is a little known tumor with potentially aggressive behavior. Once a diagnosis has been established, aggressive surgical treatment should follow, with wide excision. Other modalities to be considered are radiation therapy and possible chemotherapy, for which no precedent exists. The tumor resembles metastatic anaplastic carcinomas, and familiary with it is important in the evaluation of cutaneous malignancies. A 55-year-old patient with trabecular cell carcinoma is presented.
