“…Pathways underlying the pathogenesis of the tumor are still being elucidated. The potential role of hereditary factors was pointed out by some investigators who suggested autosomal and dominant inheritance but their observations are still not established [5]. Interestingly, trauma has been speculated as precipitating factor leading to the development of ES [6].…”

Eccrine spiradenoma is an uncommon and benign adnexal tumor characterized by one or more nodules. The present article refers to a young patient with multiple and gradually enlarged nodules which remained undiagnosed and untreated for many years. Lesions were initially considered as multiple leiomyomas whereas skin biopsy revealed the existence of uncommon and benign tumors of eccrine and apocrine grandular adnexa confirming the diagnosis of eccrine spiradenoma. Similarities in clinical appearance and symptoms between tumors may lead to erroneous diagnosis and skin biopsy is an essential tool for differential diagnosis.

“…Solitary ES occurs more frequently in men, whereas multiple ES appear more commonly in females, with an estimated female to male ratio of 3:1 [7]. The onset of the tumor is typically observed during the second to fourth decade of life.…”

“…7 As a remote echo of such erroneous assumptions, we find even current reports of linear naevi said to be arranged in a "zoosteriform" or "dermatomal" pattern. [30][31][32][33][34] In 1969 MacDonald and Sims, 35 being unaware of Blaschko's work, studied photographs and descriptions in several case reports and reported 16 cases in their own records stating that "no association could be found between the lesions and anatomical features of the skin." They concluded that "the epidermis is not … inherently segmental.…”

Archetypical Patterns of Skin Manifestations in Neurocutaneous Disorders

et al. 2018

The distribution of the cutaneous manifestations in neurocutaneous disorders is not casual; rather, it reflects predetermined patterns of skin arrangements, due to the action of the underlying genes, proteins, and/or metabolic pathways on the skin texture and appendages. These patterns of distribution are pathognomonic for each neurocutaneous disorder and can occur either in specific areas of the body (e.g., the forehead, the face, the trunk, the nails, one limb or one of more segments of the body) or following specific lines (e.g., lines of Blaschko) or taking peculiar shapes (e.g., leaf-like, ovoid, whorled, “S” or “V” shaped). These patterns of abnormal skin often mirror similar phenomena in extra-cutaneous organs/tissues, principally in the central nervous system but also in the eye, bone, heart/vessels, lung, kidney, and gut. A classification system, including several patterns of cutaneous arrangements (archetypical patterns) was proposed by the German dermatologist Rudolf Happle in 1993 and later expanded until 2014: this classification, originally meant to broadly explain (genetic and nongenetic) mosaic skin disorders and phenomena, was later expanded to explain the patterns of distribution of skin manifestations in some autosomal dominant skin disorders (genodermatoses). Currently, we recognize: (1) six archetypical patterns, including type 1 “along the lines of Blaschko” in (a) narrow or (b) large bands, type 2 “checkerboard” pattern, type 3 “phylloid” pattern, type 4 “patchy pattern without midline separation,” type 5 “lateralization” pattern, and type 6 “sash-like” pattern; (2) three less well-defined (so far unclassifiable) archetypical patterns, including (a) a diffuse hypopigmentation of the trunk versus smaller areas of normal skin on a unilateral aspect of the thorax and a segmental hyperpigmentation involving both arms and the trunk, (b) an “atypical” pattern along the Blaschko's lines, (c) the “mesotropic facial pattern,” and (iii) segmental manifestations of monogenic disorders, including (type 1) segmental areas of skin affected with the typical manifestations of a disease associated to otherwise unaffected skin and (type 2) segmental areas of skin affected with a very pronounced degree of the typical skin manifestations of a disease. In this article we review the existing literature on the early history of Blaschko's lines, the presentation of the (well-defined and unclassified) archetypical patterns and the segmental manifestations of monogenic disorders tailoring these concepts to neurocutaneous disorders.

“…It mainly affects adults, with the highest incidence in the fourth decade of life 1 . Yoshida et al 2 divided ES into solitary and multiple ES on the basis of its clinical appearance. Most presentations of ES are solitary and show no predilection for any sex.…”

Multiple Segmental Eccrine Spiradenoma with a Zosteriform Pattern: A Case Report and Literature Review

Eccrine spiradenoma usually occurs as solitary tender nodules. However, it rarely occurs as multifocal localized tumors or has zosteriform distribution. We report the case of a 32-year-old woman with a 20-year history of itchy lesions on the left side of the back and forearm with a zosteriform distribution. Before disease onset, almost no patients have inducing factors, but our patient received an injection beforehand; however, whether this was coincidental or causative remains unknown. The lesions became very itchy after perspiration or eating spicy food, which has never been reported. A literature search revealed 22 cases of multiple segmental eccrine spiradenoma; we summarized the clinical characteristic in order to aid diagnosis and treatment selection.
