Tumoral melanosis is a histological term used to refer to a nodular accumulation of melanophages in the dermis, which clinically arises as a pigmented lesion. It is usually associated with the regression of melanomas or of other melanocytic lesions. The authors present the case of a 45-year old man/woman with a pigmented macule on his/her left leg. The lesion was completely excised and diagnosed as a tumoral melanosis.

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is an uncommon and relapsing fibrohistiocytic tumor of intermediate malignancy. Its rarest variant is known as atrophic, morphea type or dermatofibrosarcoma non protuberans and its clinical diagnose is difficult. There are not well established dermatoscopic criteria, so the diagnosis is histopathologic. There are advances in immunohistochemical and genetic that help the diagnosis and complete surgical excision. It is reported a case of atrophic dermatofibrosarcoma in a 27 years patient ant it is reviewed the clinical, dermoscopic, histological and genetic aspects.

Porokeratoma is an entity defined as an acanthoma with porokeratosis characteristics. It has a distinct histological pattern from that of the cornoid lamella and has clinical differences regarding the typical porokeratosis. The condition has been described only recently and there are few cases reported in the literature. The authors report the case of a 46 year-old male patient with an exophytic nodular lesion located in the intergluteal region. Histological examinations evidenced multiple cornoid lamellae, with those located on the periphery being better defined. Based on the clinical and histological appearance, the lesion was diagnosed as a porokeratoma.
