A Case of Tubular Apocrine Adenoma with Syringocystadenoma Papilliferum that Developed in a Nevus Sebaceus

“…However, the immunohistochemical studies in our case were positive for GCDFP-15 in the TAA lesion, but they were negative in the SCAP lesion. These findings further support the biological differences between the TAA and SCAP apocrine-differentiated tumor, as Yamane et al 10 suggested.…”

“…Ishiko et al 6 suggested that TAA and SCAP occurred together only when they were preceded by an organoid nevus. Five cases of TAA and SCAP were reported to be associated with NS [4][5][6]8,10 . However, Lee et al 9 reported 1 case in the external auditory canal that had no evidence of pre-existing NS.…”

Tubular Apocrine Adenoma – A Case Report of Rare Sweat Gland Tumor

“…[6] The finding of a tubular apocrine adenoma in a female of middle age in our case is in concordance with what others have reported. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]10,12,[14][15][16][17][18] Tubular apocrine adenoma is found most commonly on the scalp but lesions have also been described at a variety of other sites including the face, [6] eyelid, [18] axilla, [3] leg and genitalia. [4,11,17] However, Lee et al reported a case in the external auditory canal.…”

“…In 40% of reported cases, the patient also had a nevus sebaceous and/or syringocystadenoma papilliferum but in our case no such associated tumor was found. [10][11][12][13][14][15] The tubular apocrine adenoma is benign in nature and recurrence following excision is uncommon. Theories regarding the origin of the tumor have been developed.…”

A Case of Zonal Syringocystadenoma Papilliferum of the Axilla Mimicking Verruca Vulgaris

“…In a series of 145 cases of SCAP reviewed by Mammino and Vidmar, 1 40% occurred with NS and 9% with basal cell carcinoma. But, it occasionally coexists with other tumors such as apocrine hidrocystoma and clear cell syringoma, 24 tubular apocrine adenoma, [25][26][27][28] apocrine poroma, 29 carcinoma, 32 mixed tubulopapillary hidradenoma, 33 hidradenoma papilliferum, 34 trichilemmoma, 35 apocrine hidrocystoma, 36 giant comedo, 37 condyloma acuminatum, 5,38 and verrucous carcinoma. 39 SCAP that is not associated with NS frequently appears hyperkeratotic or verrucous.…”
