“…Age distribution of TAA is very wide, ranging from 18 to 78 years. [ 4 ] Since apocrine gland develop in association with hair follicle, TAA is usually not expected to arise in a hairless, and eccrine-dominant region of the body. The most common site of involvement is the scalp, followed by less common locations such as axilla and anogenital area.…”

“…Histologic features of TAA is characterized by lobules of well-differentiated tubular structures mainly at the dermis, and sometimes extending to the subcutis. [ 4 ] The tubule is lined with 2 rows of epithelial cells which show decapitation secretion. The lining cells are cuboidal to columnar, with eosinophilic cytoplasm and round nuclei.…”

Rationale: Tubular apocrine adenoma (TAA) is a very rare benign neoplasm of the apocrine gland. The typical anatomical locations are mostly hair-bearing areas, where normal apocrine glands are abundant. Patient concerns: We report the case of a 40-year-old patient with a tubular apocrine adenoma on a non-hair-bearing area. Diagnoses: Ultrasonography showed a 0.4-cm-sized hypoechoic nodule in the subcutaneous plane of the left palm at the fourth carpometacarpal joint level. Interventions: Surgical resection was performed and histopathological examination revealed lobules of well-differentiated dilated tubular structures at the dermis level. Outcomes: At 1 year of postoperative follow-up, the patient was completely recovered without signs of recurrence. Lessons: Diagnosis of TAA can be misleading due to its unusual location and inconspicuous appearance. Immunohistochemistry for epithelial membrane antigen and gross cystic disease fluid protein-15 is crucial for the proper diagnosis. Complete excision is recommended to prevent recurrence.

Moll glands are sweat apocrine glands close to the eyelid margin. Tumors derived from Moll glands are rare, although Moll glands cysts are frequent. They originate from their glandular tissue or tubules. In this report we present a rare case of a lower eyelid skin tubular apocrine adenoma occurred in the right eye lower eyelid of a caucasian 45 year old woman. The lesion was nodular and dome shaped and its size was 1.5 × 3.5 × 2 mm. After a complete excision the lesion was analyzed by our pathology unit. Histologic sections were stained with haematoxylin and eosin, alcian blue, periodic acid-Schiff (PAS). Additionally, the following immunohistochemical markers were used: cytokeratin 7 (CK7), cytokeratin 8/18 (CK8/18), cytokeratin 20 (CK20), S-100 protein and gross cystic disease protein 15 (GCDFP-15) (4,5). The immunohistochemical and phenotypic features resulted suggest the diagnosis of lower eyelid tubular apocrine adenoma probably originated from Moll glands. These findings allowed us to diagnose a very rare and benign cutaneous lesion of eyelid skin.
