Sir, Eccrine angiomatous hamartoma (EAH) is a rare benign hamartoma of eccrine glands and blood vessels. It most commonly develops before adulthood as a single, slowgrowing lesion on the extremities. We describe here a case of adult-onset EAH with generalized multiple hairy reddish-brown indurated plaques with a rapidly progressive course. As the lesions showed histopathological findings such a...

Eccrine angiomatous hamartoma is a rare hamartomatous lesion characterized by proliferation of eccrine glands and small blood vessels, and occasionally other elements. It generally arises congenitally or later in childhood, as solitary or multiple lesions on the distal extremities. Adult-onset multiple lesions are very rare. Herein we describe a 33-year-old male with symptomatic multiple eccrin...

introduction eccrine poroma is a benign neoplasm thought to derived from eccrine sweat glands. recently, studies have shown wide distribution of eccrine poroma, including acral, face, and abdomen forms. case presentation we reported a 65-years-old woman with rapidly growing 5-cm ulcerative eccrine poroma with active bleeding since one year prior to presentation. conclusions although rapid growt...

Eccrine hidrocystomas are benign tumors of the sweat glands that arise from cystic dilatation of the excretory sweat duct. Exact diagnosis requires biopsy and histopathologic examination, from which arises risk of scarring. Dermoscopy could be a useful tool in diagnosing eccrine hidrocystomas. Herein we aim to present dermoscopic features in three female patients with multiple lesions on the fa...

There are 3 major sweat-producing glands present in skin; eccrine, apocrine, and apoeccrine glands. Due to the high rate of secretion, eccrine sweating is a vital regulator of body temperature in response to thermal stress in humans; therefore, an inability to sweat (anhidrosis) results in heat intolerance that may cause impaired consciousness and death. Here, we have reported 5 members of a co...

The sweat eccrine and apocrine glands of human skin secrete many functionally significant substances, including hydrolytic enzymes, onto its surface through the mechanisms secretion, excretion recruitment. Shown is their recreational origin as a secretory product digestive glands—pepsinogen by stomach glands, α-amylase—by pancreas. Hydrolases in epidermal barrier provide hydrolysis proteins, ca...

The distribution and selectivity of complex carbohydrates in the eccrine glands of the digital pads in the North American raccoon (Procyon lotor) were studied using light and electron microscopic histochemical methods, particularly lectin histochemistry. In the eccrine glands, the dark cells exhibited neutral and acidic glycoconjugates with different saccharide residues (alpha-L-fucose, beta-D-...

Preliminary to a study of benign appendageal tumors of the skin, the results of which will be published separately, the following study of normal apocrine and eccrine glands was undertaken. The use of the periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) and Alcian Blue (AB) stains separately on tissue sections and the clarification of the two color reactions of the PAS stain by Alcian Blue (1) has lead to a better h...

Electron microscope observations on eccrine sweat glands have been carried out by many workers, namely on human eccrine swear glands by HIBBS (1958), IIJIMA (1959), CHRALES (1960), KUROSUMI et al. (1960), and MUNGER (1961) and on those of animals by KITAMURA (1958), MUNGER et al. (1961), ELLIS et al. (1961), MATSUZAWA et al. (1963), KUROSUMI et al. (1964) and TERZAKIS (1964). Already by means o...

Primary hyperhidrosis is characterized by excessive sweating in palmar, plantar and axillary body regions. Gland hypertrophy and the existence of a third type of sweat gland, the apoeccrine gland, with high fluid transporting capabilities have been suggested as possible causes. This study investigated whether sweat glands were hypertrophied in axillary hyperhidrotic patients and if mechanisms a...
