“…In the literature, summing up the cases of the studies which dwell on this point [2,5,7,[10][11][12], of a total of 89 cases, there was lymph node metastasis in 6 of them. In some of these series, there was not a single case of lymphatic involvement [5,7,11,12]. However, some authors have also verified the extension along the perineural lymphatics: M uller et al [7] in 1 case; Smith and Tanaka [10] in 6 out of 24 patients.…”

20 cases of adenoacanthoma, diagnosed out of a total of 1,100 cutaneous epitheliomas were studied. All cases were facial, with actinic elastose. In 11 of the 20 cases, the appearance was that of a tumor with a central crater. Histopathologically, the characteristic appearance of adenoacanthoma (tubular and alveolar formations with acantholytic and dyskeratotic cells) was associated with structures of squamous cell epithelioma. In 4 of the 20 cases, there were glandular tumoral manifestations derived from the sweat glands. Clinically, they have a local malignancy, and a relative radioresistance. In no case was there gangliar metastasis; but in 2 cases, there was extension along the perineural lymphatics. In 4 cases of acantholytic keratosis, an indication of transition toward adenoacanthoma was seen. This supports the hypothesis that this form of keratosis is the departure-point for adenoacanthoma.
