Abstract
Signet-ring cell/histiocytoid carcinoma (SRCHC) is a rare appendageal tumor, mainly considering eyelids, more rarely axillae. This article describes 2 novel SRCHC cases of 71- and 66-year-old men and systematically reviews the literature on SRCHC. Of all cases reported in the literature, 73 (91.2%) were men and 7 (8.8%) were women. The median age at diagnosis was 71 years. Skin changes were located in the eyelids (68%) and axillae (32%). In all tested cases, SRCHC cells expressed CK7, CKAE1/AE3, EMA, CAM5.2, and AR and PIK3CA mutations. Future research should determine whether AR/PIK3CA-targeted therapies influence patients' survival.
