“…These findings indicate that the cysts of the present case probably originated from the nonadnexal epidermis. A similar localized distribution of multiple trichilemmal cysts was reported in a case of multiple glomus tumors [17]. The development on the dominant hand suggests that invagination of epidermal cells caused by traumatic injuries induced these palmar epidermoid cysts.…”

Multiple Palmar Epidermoid Cysts

Implantation of epidermal fragments into the dermis has been pointed out as the cause of common epidermal cysts. However, some palmoplantar epidermoid cysts have been reported to be caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection or to be derived from eccrine ducts. A 65-year-old left-handed woman presented with extraordinary multiple epidermoid cysts on the palm and volar aspect of the fingers of her left hand. HPV infection was not detected by immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization and polymerase chain reaction. Histological investigation revealed syringeal structures within the cyst wall and in the cyst cavity. Carcinoembryonic antigen was observed in these syringeal structures but was not specifically stained in the cyst wall cells by immunohistochemistry. The cytokeratin composition of the cyst wall cells was similar to that of the nonadnexal epidermis.

“…A positive family history, not found in our observation, is present in 60% of cases [1]. CMGTs are extremely rare, and less than 20 cases have been well documented [5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12]. Our case is an uncommon example of congenital glomangiomas which, moreover, occurred sporadically.…”

“…Seven case reports of CMGT with a type 2 segmental involvement have been so far recorded in the world literature [6, 8, 10, 11, 12]. In the majority of cases, congenital lesions showed a unilateral distribution whereas tumors developed later in time were disseminated smaller nodules based on the phenotype (table 1).…”

Congenital multiple glomus tumors are extremely rare, and less than 20 cases have been well documented. We report an uncommon case of congenital multiple glomangiomas with a segmental manifestation in a 9-year-old girl. Since birth, the child had presented asymptomatic angiomatous macules arranged in a segmental pattern on the neck and trunk. During a follow-up period of 9 years, disseminated smaller papulonodular lesions developed on both arms and the left leg with a segmental distribution. Histopathology of congenital and acquired lesions confirmed the diagnosis of glomangiomas. The family history was negative for glomus tumors. This type of presentation supports the recently described type 2 segmental manifestation of multiple glomus tumors, with a segmental involvement of congenital early developing lesions.

“…As a segmental distribution of cutaneous lesions in other diseases, 3 cases with type 2 segmental manifestation of multiple glomus tumors have recently been presented by Florez et al [13], and also 1 each with type 1 or 2 segmental Darier disease by Itin et al [14]. These disorders may easily be differentiated histologically from eccrine spiradenomas.…”

The first case of multifocal eccrine spiradenomas on the hand, forearm and scalp is described. This case is unusual in that the tumors located on the little finger included the nail matrix and occurred in a linear/ zosteriform distribution, resulting in a nail deformity. The nodules on the forearm and scalp were in a random distribution. Histologically, each tumor was highly cellular and composed of two cell types: small darkly staining basaloid cells and larger, pale cells. Ultrastructural observations often showed an intracellular lumen with numerous microvilli in larger pale-staining cells.
