A Case of Papillary Tubular Adenoma (Tubulopapillary Hidradenoma)

Abstract

Tubular apocrine adenoma and papillary eccrine adenoma are rare sweat gland neoplasms that appear as a small solitary lesion on the scalp or extremities, respectively. Although these lesions are thought to be distinct entities, there are enough similarities between them to group them under the term tubulopapillary hidradenoma or papillary tubular adenoma. We describe a case showing many tubular structures with papillary projection, syringocystadenoma-like structures, and eccrine hirocystoma-like structures in the axillary area. The term of papillary tubular adenoma or tubulopapillary hidradenoma may be prefered in this case.
