Abstract Purpose of Review This review aimed to provide a comprehensive and current state art about epidemiology clinical aspects the HS. Recent Findings Our search yielded 17 articles that included studies showed prevalence range from 0.00033 1.4%. Incidence data is limited. HS more prevalent in women than men. The highest found third fourth decade life. most frequent localizations are inguina...

Apocrine carcinoma is an extremely rare malignant cutaneous neoplasm that usually arises in areas with a high density of apocrine glands.1 Diagnosis can be challenging as tumours share histological and immunophenotypic characteristics them. At first evaluation, the disease often assumed to benign. There have been approximately 100 reports neoplasms literature.<...

The differential diagnosis among the most frequent skin tumors, base-cell carcinoma and squamous-cell carcinoma, and the rare types, the sweat gland carcinomas, is fundamental for the early diagnosis and prognosis of a patient. These are classified as eccrine and apocrine, and the eccrine is the most common type. The eccrine sweat glands are most abundant in the palms of the hands and the feet ...

The present paper describes two distinct morphological features of ovine interdigital sinus, which were examined by means of scanning electron microscopy. In the sweat glandular component, acini with epithelial cells exhibiting a paved appearance and apocrine secretion were observed. In the same gland, other acini with cells exhibiting different luminal surfaces and simultaneous apocrine and me...

Sclerosing polycystic adenosis of the major salivary glands is rare and can simulate a slow growing tumour. It is pseudoencapsulated and includes tubuloacinar adenosis with dilated ducts, apocrine metaplasia, epithelial hyperplasia, and cystic changes associated with fibrosis. The histological appearance of the lesion is similar to that of fibrocystic disease of the breast. The multifocal natur...

Background: Cutaneous appendageal tumours can arise from either the eccrine, apocrine, hair follicles or the sebaceous glands. Majority of the tumours are benign. Final diagnosis requires a good clinical as well as histpathological correlation. The aim of the present study was to assess the clinicopathological characteristic of these tumours. Materials & Methods: The present study was a retro-p...

Hidradenomas are tumours that arise from the adnexal structures, both eccrine and apocrine and are histologically benign. The tumours that arise from eccrine differentiation are known as poroid hidradenomas and when they arise from the apocrine glands they are called nodular hidradenomas. In our centre a 13-year-old boy presented with a slow-growing, painless erythematous fungating nodule on th...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs involved in cancer development. Extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is a rare cutaneous malignancy and the role of miRNAs in EMPD remains unknown. Here, we used TaqMan miRNA arrays to characterize miRNA expression profile in EMPD and further validated the candidates by single RT-PCR. Total 12 cases EMPD were involved in this study. Using laser capture...

The development and fate of the apocrine sweat glands in the axilla are not yet well elucidated. The development (Borsetto, 1951 (1)), the structure and function (Shelley and Hurley, 1953 (2); Rothman, 1954 (3); Montagna, 1956 (4)), and the ageing changes (Montagna, 1956a (5); Winkelmann and Hultin, 1958 (6)) of these glands are relatively well understood, but very little is known about their d...
