“…As in their benign counterparts, the histologic features of these tumors often overlap; and their classification is therefore not uniform. The terms "sweat glatid carcinoma" (29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35), "adenocarcinoma of the eccrine sweat gland" (36, 37), "inetastasizing eccrine sweat gland carcinoma" (38)(39)(40)(41), and "epidermotrophic eccrine carcinoma" (42) have beeti applied. More specific terms: "porosyringocarcinoma" (43); "clear cell hidradenocarcinoma" (7,44); "mucinous (adenocystic) carcinoma ofthe skin" (45); "primary mucinons sweat gland adenocarcinoma" (46); "primary adenoid cystic carcitioma of the skin" (47); "eccrine porocarcinoma" (9,48,49); "malignant clear cell acrospiroma" (17); "malignant hidroacanthoma simplex" (50); "syringoid eccrine carcinoma" (51); "malignant transformation of eccrine spiradenoma" (18); "carcinoma arising in eccrine spiradenoma" (19); and "malignant chondroid syringoma" (20); were also encountered in the literature.…”

Aggressive digital papillary adenoma and adenocarcinoma. A clinicopathological study of 57 patients, with histochemical, immunopathological, and ultrastructural observations

Fifty-seven examples of a rare eccrine sweat gland tumor (aggressive digital papillary adenoma and adenocarcinoma) were studied by means of light microscopy, electron microscopy, and immunoperoxidase techniques. The neoplasm occurred as a single, painless mass, almost exclusively on the fingers, toes, and adjacent skin of the palms and soles. Microscopic features were distinct from those of other eccrine sweat gland tumors and often led to the diagnosis of such metastatic carcinoma as that of the breast. The characteristic histologic features included tubuloalveolar and ductal structures with areas of papillary projections protruding into cystic lumina. The stroma varied from thin, fibrous septae to areas of dense, hyalinized collagen. Forty tumors were classified as adenoma (ADPA) and 17 as adenocarcinoma (ADPAca). Histologically, ADPAca was distinguished from ADPA by its poor glandular differentiation and by necrosis, cellular atypia and pleomorphism, invasion of soft tissue and bone, and invasion of blood vessels. Eighteen (50%) patients with ADPA and 8 (47.0%) who had ADPAca developed recurrent lesions (2 months to 9 years) after surgical removal of the tumor. Seven (41.2%) patients with ADPAca developed metastases, of which 5 involved the lung. Three patients died of metastases, 5 to 20 years after surgical treatment of the primary tumor. The histologic malignant features in ADPAca are indicative of potential for distant metastasis and fatality. The recognition of aggressive digital papillary adenoma and adenocarcinoma as a distinct clinicopathological eccrine sweat gland neoplasm is important because of the potential for aggressive local growth and distant metastasis.

“…The median age at onset is 63 years, but the tumor has been reported in an 8‐year‐old boy and an 84‐year‐old man 2,3 . To date, approximately 140 cases have been reported 1–65 . Males are affected more than twice as often as females, and the incidence of this neoplasm appears to be slightly higher in blacks than in whites 4 .…”

“…Despite its relative indolence, primary mucinous carcinoma of the skin has a propensity for local recurrence after excision, with a recurrence rate of approximately 27%. There have been a few reports of direct extension into skeletal muscle, periosteum, bone, and dura 2,3,9,10,31 . Regional and distant metastases are rare and have been reported in 11% and 3% of cases, respectively 5 .…”

Simple excision of primary mucinous carcinoma of the skin is associated with a high recurrence rate. Given the low rate of metastasis and characteristic histologic tumor continuity associated with primary mucinous carcinoma of the skin, as well as the tendency for the tumor to involve cosmetically sensitive areas, such as the face and eyelids, MMS appears to represent a preferable treatment alternative for this particular sweat gland tumor. MMS appears to be associated with a very low risk of tumor recurrence.

“…Apesar do curso relativamente lento, trata-se de tumor localmente muito agressivo, com taxas de recorrência pós-cirúrgica entre os 26 e 33% 13,15 , taxas estas ainda mais consideráveis quando o tumor está localizado nas pálpebras. Existem casos descritos de extensão tumoral directa ao músculo esquelético, periósteo e osso 1,13,[16][17][18] . A metastização regional e à distância são raras, rondando os 11% e 3% 5 , respectivamente.…”

O carcinoma mucinoso primário, também conhecido como carcinoma adenoquístico mucinoso ou car- cinoma colóide, é uma neoplasia maligna rara, descrita em 1952 por Lennox e col. De origem nas glândulas sudo- ríparas ou nas respectivas estruturas germinativas, a sua natureza apócrina ou écrina é ainda controversa. Histologi- camente pode ser confundido com metástase cutânea dos, muito mais frequentes, carcinomas mucinosos da mama, tracto gastrointestinal, pulmão, ovário ou próstata. Descreve-se o caso de uma mulher de 60 anos referenciada ao nosso Serviço por história com 2 anos de evolução de um nódulo quístico eritemato-violáceo do couro cabeludo, com cerca de 2 cm, inicialmente interpretado como carcinoma basocelular sólido-quístico. Após biópsia cutânea foi estabelecido o diagnóstico de carcinoma mucinoso vs metástase, pelo que se procedeu a exérese de toda a lesão. O exame físico e exames complementares de diagnóstico foram negativos, excluindo a hipótese de lesão secundária.PALAVRAS-CHAVE – Adenocarcinoma mucinoso.
