“…Microcystic adnexal carcinoma (MAC) is a locally aggressive adnexal neoplasm recently described by Goldstein et al 1 in 1982. Synonyms applied to this neoplasm in the literature are sclerosing sweat duct (syringomatous) carcinoma, 2 malignant syringoma, 3 combined adnexal tumor of the skin, 4 and sweat duct carcinoma with syringomatous features 5 …”

Microcystic adnexal carcinoma (MAC) is a recently described rare adnexal neoplasm showing benign histologic features but a locally aggressive behavior. It has most commonly been reported to occur on the face but it has also been noted in the axilla and buttock. We describe a 41-year-old white male with a 5-year history of MAC on the scalp and treatment by Mohs micrographic surgery. To our knowledge, this is the first case of MAC reported to occur on the scalp.

“…[105][106][107][108] The diagnosis of these mixed lesions relies on histological evaluation, and they are usually classified according to the predominant morphological component. If no component is predominant, a different terminology is used to describe these lesions, including ''combined adnexal tumours of the skin'', 105 ''benign adnexal tumour with multidirectional differentiation'', 108 ''benign adnexal tumour of mixed lineage'' 2 16 and ''composite adnexal tumours of the skin''.…”

Skin adnexal neoplasms—part 2: An approach to tumours of cutaneous sweat glands

2006

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Tumours of cutaneous sweat glands are uncommon, with a wide histological spectrum, complex classification and many different terms often used to describe the same tumour. Furthermore, many eccrine/apocrine lesions coexist within hamartomas or within lesions with composite/mixed differentiation. In addition to the eccrine and apocrine glands, two other skin sweat glands have recently been described: the apoeccrine and the mammary-like glands of the anogenital area. In this review (the second of two articles on skin adnexal neoplasms), common as well as important benign and malignant lesions of cutaneous sweat glands are described, and a summary for differentiating primary adnexal neoplasms from metastatic carcinoma is outlined, striving to maintain a common and acceptable terminology in this complex subject. Composite/mixed adnexal tumours are also discussed briefly.

“…Thete are many reports of eombined adnexal tumors in whieh skin appendages of various degrees of differrentiation are ptesent in the same lesion (9)(10)(11)(12). For example, in nevus sebaeeous, epidermal hyperplasia, sebaceous gland adenoma, apoerine nevus and basal eell epithclioma may oecur one by one aeeording to the predetermined tnutational schedule.…”
