Poroid hidradenoma is a variant of the eccrine poroma that belongs to the group of poroid neoplasms. It presents architectural features of hidradenoma, with solid and cystic areas and tumour cells restricted to the dermis, and cytological features of poroid neoplasm such as poroid and cuticular cells. Poroid hidradenoma becomes malignant in less than 1% of cases, but its histologic characterist...

We present a case of poroid hidradenoma on the right chest in a 62year-old male with diabetes mellitus and chronic renal failure. Poroid hidradenoma is usually solitary and shows eccrine differentiation. There have been a small number of reports describing poroid hidradenoma, and the present case is a rare instance. Because the relations between clear cell neoplasms and diabetes mellitus are kn...

Phytases are enzymes used as an important component in monogastric animals feeds in order to improve phosphorous availability, since it is not readily assimilated by these animals in the form of the phytate presented in plants and grains. As these enzymes are used in industrial activities, they must retain its catalytic activities during a certain storage period. This study presents information...

A fungus with gelatinous poroid fruiting bodies was found in Puerto Rico and determined by macro- and micromorphology to be most similar to members of the lamellate agaric genus Resupinatus. This species is described as a new species, Resupinatus porosus. Phylogenetic analyses of ribosomal DNA sequences support the inclusion of this fungus in the clade containing Resupinatus, and indicate that ...

Poroma is a benign adnexal neoplasm with atn "poroid"/ductal differentiation that mimics benign and malignant skin tumors. Histopathology shows circumscribed proliferation of poroid cells intermingled with a variable number of cuticular cells. We report a case of pigmented poroma located on the face that simulated clinically and dermatoscopically a pigmented basal cell carcinoma. The features o...

A 65-year-old male presented with a slowly enlarging nodule on his right leg, which had been present for 10 years and which had gradually increased in size over the previous 6 months. Physical examination revealed a red and dark bluish, dome-shaped nodule, 26 mm × 22 mm in size, on the right side of the posterior aspect of his right leg (Fig. 1). Histopathology revealed a well-demarcated, solid...

Papillary poroid hidradenoma is a very rare entity which belongs to poroid neoplasms, which represents 10% of sudoriferous tumours. It can be easily misdiagnosed as a malignant neoplasm. A 34-years-old male presented with an asymptomatic mass over the right chest wall, below the nipple, of 18 months duration. Clinical examination revealed tense cystic swelling which revealed hypoechoic and soli...

Introduction: Poroid hidradenomas (PH) are rare benign skin adnexal tumours with eccrine differentiation. PH have features of both poroma and hidradenoma, wholly intradermal. Few been reported in the literature, here we present two cases localised to left knee. The common histological examination finding was a circumscribed cyst lined by basaloid cells resembling poroma, occasional ductal struc...
