Tubular apocrine adenoma of the axilla: a rare adnexal tumor

A case series of three atypical cases of syringocystadenoma papilliferum with thigh, abdomen and axillary involvement, and review of literature

Syringocystadenoma papilliferum is an uncommon benign apocrine gland tumour, mostly of congenital or early childhood onset, affecting head and neck. In addition, nevus sebaceous is commonly associated with this tumor. Here, we document three cases of syringocystadenoma papilliferum with many atypical features, such as the involvement of rare sites (abdomen, axilla and thigh), absence of nevus s...

Syringocystadenoma papilliferum combined with a tubular apocrine adenoma*

Syringocystadenoma papilliferum and tubular apocrine adenoma are rare benign sweat gland tumors. Syringocystadenoma papilliferum occurs alone or in association with other tumors. Although it is rare, the association of tubular apocrine adenoma with syringocystadenoma papilliferum developing in a sebaceous nevus on the scalp is well documented. However, the co-existence of these two tumors witho...

Primary apocrine adenocarcinoma of the axilla.

Primary apocrine adenocarcinoma (AA) is a rare malignant cutaneous neoplasm that typically arises in areas of high apocrine gland density such as the axillae and the anogenital region. Due to the nonspecific clinical manifestation of AA, the differential diagnosis may be broad. The rarity of this neoplasm has led to a relative lack of well-established histologic and immunohistochemical diagnost...

Tubular Apocrine Adenoma – Case Report and Systematic Review

Syringocystadenoma Papilliferum of the Back Combined with a Tubular Apocrine Adenoma

Syringocystadenoma papilliferum (SCAP) and tubular apocrine adenoma (TAA) are rare benign sweat gland tumors. SCAP and TAA may have a histopathologic overlap, but few cases of a SCAP combined with a TAA have been reported. Herein we describe an unusual case of a SCAP co-existing with a TAA located on the back of a 12-year-old girl.
