DefinitionThis section has been translated automatically.
Benign adnexal tumor with apocrine differentiation. About 1/3 of the cases are associated with a sebaceous nevus. Rarely the transition to an apocrine ductal carcinoma occurs.
LocalizationThis section has been translated automatically.
Especially the capillitium, face, neck, armpits, groins and genital region are affected.
Clinical featuresThis section has been translated automatically.
Mostly solitary, rarely multiple or linearly arranged, reddish-brown, 1.0-5.0 cm large tumor with predominantly verrucous, sometimes ulcerated surface.
HistologyThis section has been translated automatically.
Usually moderately well defined dermal tumor originating from the surface epithelium with villi-shaped, papillary convolutes. These are lined in the upper part of the squamous epithelium, in the deeper parts by double-row cuboidal or cylindrical epithelium. Apocrine decapitation. In the deeper parts cystic dilated duct systems are visible. The centre of the papillae is densely filled with lymphocytes and plasma cells. Although plasma cell infiltration is a characteristic feature of this adnexal tumor, it is not specific and is also found in other apocrine differentiated tumors.
