The arteries supplying the lips are very tortuous so they can accommodate the movements of the mouth. Labial arteries taper only slightly and are usually caliber-persistent vessels. On rare occasions, older adults have a tumor-like lesion form on the vermilion of the upper or lower lip or have an ulcer of the lower lip. Cancer is the concern of the person and his or her physician and dentist. In surgical excision of this tumor-like lesion or removal of a specimen for biopsy, the treatment team needs to prepare for the possibility of brisk arterial bleeding and have proper materials to ligate the labial artery in the event it is inadvertently transected. It is also important to remember that both ends of a transected artery should be ligated. Could the tumor-like lesion or lip ulcer be a mucosal sign of a caliber-persistent artery of another area of the gastrointestinal tract? This question has not received adequate investigation. The relationship is unlikely but deserves consideration.

Thirty-one dermal appendage tumors of sweat gland differentiation including 7 spiradenomas (SPA), 8 cylindromas (CYL), 8 acrospiromas (ACS), and 8 chondroid syringomas (CS) were analyzed using antibodies to epithelial membrane antigen (EMA), cytokeratin (AE1, AE3, CAM 5.2, 34BE12), S-100 protein, actin (ACT), and desmin (DES) to characterize the immunocytochemical profile of benign sweat gland tumors. Cytokeratin expression was variable; AE1, 34BE12, AE3, and CAM 5.2 were present in 31, 24, 23, and 22 tumors respectively; 29 tumors contained EMA. Seventeen tumors, (6 SPA, 8 CYL, 2 ACS, 1 CS) stained with antibody to alpha smooth muscle actin, and 26 (7 SPA, 7 CYL, 4 ACS, 8 CS) expressed S-100 protein. Although some prior studies had reported actin filaments on electron microscopy in both spiradenoma and cylindroma, these tumors have previously been considered to be negative for myoepithelial differentiation. All spiradenomas and cylindromas we studied demonstrated actin and/or S-100 protein positivity in basal epithelial cells, consistent with myoepithelial differentiation. The organization of actin and S-100 protein positivity displayed by the spiradenomas and cylindromas we studied suggests that the tumors are differentiated towards the secretory portion of the eccrine sweat gland.

Sixty‐four cases of deep fungal infections diagnosed using PAS or silver stains and 18 control cases of sarcoidosis, M. tuberculosis and M. leprae infection were stained using commercial polyclonal antibody raised against M. paratuberculosis (MP), M. Duvalii (MD), and Bacillus Calmette‐Guerin (BCG). Nine of 13 cases of sporotrichosis stained positively using anti‐MP antibody only; 13 of 14 cases of histoplasmosis stained with anti‐BCG, anti‐MD, and anti‐MP; seven cases of cryptococcosis had only focal staining of rare individual organisms within masses of negative organisms; seven of eight cases of coccidioidomycosis stained predominantly with anti‐BCG and anti‐MP; eight cases of aspergillus had focal (1 to 5% of organisms) staining of hyphae with anti‐BCG and anti‐MD; and four of 12 cases of Candida infection showed focal nonspecific staining with both antibodies and nonimmune serum. Control cases of sarcoidosis exhibited no staining with any of the three antibodies, whereas cases of mycobacterial infection showed staining of bacilli and intracellular debris with all three antibodies.
