Eccrine poroma is a benign adnexal tumour of the uppermost portion of the intraepidermal eccrine sweat gland duct and acrosyringium. Eccrine porocarcinoma is the malignant phenotype arising from the intraepidermal portion of the eccrine sweat gland duct epithelium or from pre-existing eccrine poroma. Both commonly occur in the palms or sides of the feet; these areas have a high concentration of...

Eccrine poromas and porocarcinomas are adnexal tumors derived from the sweat duct epithelium. However, eccrine poroma is benign in nature, whilst eccrine porocarcinoma is regarded as its malignant counterpart. We report the case of a man who presented simultaneously with an eccrine poroma and eccrine porocarcinoma. Both lesions had no clear distinctive features, enhancing the need of high-level...

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...

Comedo-like lesions of the palm, present since birth, are studied electronmicroscopically and their eccrine nature demonstrated. We suggest their inclusion under the name porokeratotic eccrine-ostial and dermal duct nevus previously proposed by Abell and Read.

An eccrine poroma is a benign neoplasm that originates from the intraepidermal ductal portion of the eccrine sweat duct. Although eccrine poromas are most commonly found on the sole or side of the foot, eccrine poromas have been observed on other areas of the skin, such as the scalp, neck, and chest. We report an interesting case of an eccrine poroma, which presented as a 1×1 cm protruding dome...

Porokeratotic eccrine and hair follicle nevus is a very rare non-hereditary disorder of keratinization with eccrine and hair follicle involvement with only 9 cases described in the literature. In 2009 the term porokeratotic anexial ostial nevus was proposed to comprehend porokeratotic eccrine and hair follicle nevus and a related and more common process without follicular involvement: porokerat...

Eccrine poromas arise from the intraepidermal region of the eccrine sweat duct and most often occur as a benign solitary tumor. There are few reports of the occurrence of multiple lesions, defined as poromatosis, which may present in patients who have undergone radiotherapy and/or polychemotherapy. We report the case of a 43-year-old male with a history of mantle cell lymphoma who had undergone...
