Experimentally Induced Disappearance and Re-appearance of Lesions of Hidrocystoma1

Multiple ekkrine Hidrozystome bei M. Parkinson

“…Die Therapie solitärer ekkriner Hidrozystome kann mittels Elektrokaustik oder chirurgischer Exzision erfolgen [12]. So verabreichten Dostrovsky und Sagher [3] Atropinsulfat oral in einer Dosierung von 3 mg täglich verteilt auf sechs Einzeldosen; innerhalb weniger Tage kam es zum Rückgang der Läsionen. Darüberhinaus hat man sich das Ansprechen auf Parasympthomimetika wie Atropin zu Nutze gemacht.…”

Apocrine cystadenoma and apocrine hidrocystoma: examination of 21 cases with emphasis on nomenclature according to proliferative features

“…Historically the term ‘hidrocystoma’ was first described for cystic sweat gland lesions even though lately these lesions had been shown as a retention type cystic dilation of the eccrine sweat duct 6–11 . Subsequently, AC was defined as a benign nevoid tumor which represents an adenomatous cystic proliferation of apocrine glands and not a simple retention cyst 1 .…”

The Efficacy of Electrosurgery and Excision in Treating Patients with Multiple Apocrine Hidrocystomas

“…In contrast, apocrine hidrocystomas are typically solitary cysts, and are bluish‐black to fleshy in color. They are usually distributed around the eyes, and occur in both sexes 4 . There is no relationship between the size or presentation of these lesions and climate.…”

“…Therapeutic options can be divided into medical and surgical modalities. Traditionally medical therapies are effective only for eccrine hidrocystomas; 3–7 in contrast, surgical modalities may be utilized for both eccrine and apocrine hidrocystomas. A number of surgical options exist for treating multiple hidrocystomas.…”
