Abstract
Syringocystoadenoma papilliferum is benign adnexal tumor derived from the sweat glands that is located in the head and neck in 70-80% of patients, and commonly presents as a papule or a solitary nodule. We report a case of syringocystoadenoma papilliferum with an atypical presentation given its location in the thigh and the peculiar histologic features, unrepresentative of this entity.

Abstract
Although it is generally recognized that some benign sweat gland neoplasms may show appreciable mitotic activity, there are few reports of its quantitative analysis in specific tumor types or of its correlation with clinical behavior. The presence of a large number of mitoses in a sweat gland tumor for which the histologic criteria of malignancy are not well defined, particularly in association with nuclear abnormalities, may produce a considerable diagnostic challenge. We recently encountered such a problem in a putative case of hidradenoma papilliferum. Therefore, we have undertaken a retrospective clinicopathologic study of 19 cases originally diagnosed as hidradenoma papilliferum or probable hidradenoma papilliferum, with a particular emphasis on the relationship of the mitotic index to clinical behavior. The age range of the cases was 41 to 92 years (mean 56.8 years). In all cases in which the margins could be evaluated, the tumors were well circumscribed (15/15), but in 4 cases circumscription could not be assessed because the specimen was fragmented. All showed focal mild nuclear pleomorphism. Mitoses were present in both epithelial and myoepithelial cells. The mitotic index varied from 0 to 5.3 mitoses/mm2 (0 to 13 mitoses per 10 high power fields (hpf); 1 hpf=0.246 mm2), with a mean of 2.4/mm2 (6/10 hpf) and a median of 0.8/mm2 (2/10 hpf). No atypical mitoses were identified. The proliferative fraction (MIB-1 index) correlated with the mitotic index (correlation coefficient 0.94; P<0.0001) and varied from 1% to 10.5% (mean 3.9%, median 3.0%). There were no recurrences or metastases over a mean period of 8 years. Consequently, we have shown that the mitotic index in these lesions can be variable and often high, but it does not predict a more aggressive outcome.

Abstract
Malignant eccrine spiradenoma is a rare skin tumor of sweat gland origin. We present the first reported case of this tumor in the female genitalia. Due to the rarity of this tumor, there has yet to be an established standard of care. The present case is that of a 41-year-old woman with malignant eccrine spiradenoma of the periclitoral region. She had an 18-month history of a recurrent, painful mass adjacent to the clitoris. Her diagnosis was made after excision of the cystic tumor. The patient then underwent a partial radical vulvectomy with bilateral sentinel lymph node sampling. As malignant eccrine spiradenoma is a rare tumor, no standard care exists for treatment and postoperative management. Based on our review of the literature, wide local excision appears to be the preferred initial treatment. Furthermore, adjuvant chemotherapy and/or radiation does not seem to improve survival in patients with advanced or recurrent cancer. Although lymph node sampling and/or lymphadenectomy is frequently reported in the treatment of this tumor, hematogenous metastasis can also occur. Therefore, these patients require close postoperative follow-up for recurrent disease.

Abstract
Clear cell hidradenoma is a benign skin appendage tumor that may mimic conventional-type renal cell carcinoma. Histologically, clear cell hidradenoma contains small ductular lumens, focal apocrine and squamoid change, and a less prominent vascular pattern than renal cell carcinoma. Furthermore, immunohistochemical studies can aid in distinguishing the 2 tumors. Knowing the cytologic features of primary skin adnexal neoplasms helps distinguish them from cutaneous metastases, which are more commonly referred for fine-needle aspiration biopsy evaluation. Detailed clinical history, physical findings, and ancillary studies are essential for correct diagnosis and categorization of these tumors. We report the rare case of a patient with renal cell carcinoma who underwent excision of an axillary clear cell hidradenoma, which was clinically suggestive of cutaneous metastatic disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nevus sebaceus has a well-documented potential to develop a wide variety of neoplasms of both epidermal and adnexal origins. It is highly unusual for more than three tumors to arise simultaneously within a single nevus sebaceus. Sebaceous carcinoma arising within a nevus sebaceus is a rare occurrence. OBJECTIVE The objective was to report the case of a patient with a nevus sebaceus that simultaneously developed five distinct neoplasms of epidermal and various adnexal origins and to report the fourth case of sebaceous carcinoma arising within a nevus sebaceus. METHODS A 45-year-old woman presented with a nevus sebaceus that contained five separate neoplasms, including sebaceous carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, trichoadenoma, trichoblastoma, and syringocystadenoma papilliferum. RESULTS Complete excision of the nevus sebaceus and the five tumors was performed. Systemic work-up showed no evidence of metastatic disease or association with Muir-Torre syndrome. CONCLUSION This case report highlights the diverse neoplastic potential of nevus sebaceus and demonstrates the capacity of this hamartoma to develop aggressive tumors, such as sebaceous carcinoma. Prophylactic excision or at least close clinical surveillance for sudden development of new growths is warranted in all cases of nevus sebaceus.

Abstract
We describe a rare case of apocrine adenoma of the breast in a 45-year-old man. The patient presented with a tender lump in his left breast that had been present for 6 months. A mammogram identified a 3-mm nodular density in the breast, which was described as a hypoechoic nodule on ultrasound. Microscopic examination of tissue from an excisional biopsy revealed a 3-mm group of benign glands with abundant granular, eosinophilic cytoplasm and apical luminal blebbing, consistent with an apocrine adenoma. After reviewing other reported apocrine adenomas in the literature, we determined that our case was the smallest detected apocrine adenoma to be reported to date.

Abstract
Malignant spiradenoma is an exceedingly rare adnexal tumour clinically characterized by rapid enlargement of a pre-existing, long-standing benign spiradenoma. Microscopic examination typically reveals a continuum between benign spiradenoma and areas of malignant transformation. Biological behaviour is unpredictable and it should be regarded as a potentially lethal neoplasm. Treatment recommendations require radical surgical excision. The reported case of a 23-year-old female illustrates the malignant transformation of a 1.5 cm nodule within a large linear spiradenoma almost covering the frontal aspect of the lower leg. In reviewing the literature, malignant transformation seems to occur slightly more often in multiple than in solitary spiradenomas. It is unclear whether excision restricted to the malignant area is an advisable treatment option in comparison to total excision of all spiradenoma nodules. In the presented case, the transformed area was excised. The patient is free of recurrence after 2 years.

Abstract
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.

Abstract
Infiltrating syringomatous adenoma of the breast is classified as a benign, locally invasive neoplasm. To our knowledge, there have been no reported cases of metastasizing syringomatous adenomas. We used sentinel lymph node mapping to identify metastatic cells, leading to a diagnosis of infiltrating syringomatous adenoma of the breast.

Abstract
Pathologic examination of an excisional biopsy specimen of a subepidermal nodule from the nasal tip of a 37-year-old black man demonstrated papillae covered by eosinophilic columnar epithelial cells, suggesting cylindric cell papilloma or well-differentiated papillary adenocarcinoma of nasal mucosa. The patient did not submit to further investigation of the sinonasal tract but sought attention 15 months later because of local recurrence of the lesion. A protuberant, 3-cm, cystic nodule of the subcutis over the left nasal ala and tip was excised completely and found to have characteristics of hidradenoma papilliferum, an apocrine gland neoplasm most commonly occurring in the anogenital skin of white women. This case demonstrates how easily an apocrine neoplasm arising near a mucocutaneous junction can be confused with a mucosal tumor, potentially leading to inappropriate treatment.

Abstract
We report a case of multiple eccrine spiradenomas that arose in adulthood along a patient's arm and continued to the midline of the patient's chest across multiple dermatomes. This is one of a handful of such cases, which have been reported as linear, nevoid, or zosteriform eccrine spiradenomas. We believe this distribution is best described as Blaschkoid rather than zosteriform or linear because these lesions follow the lines of Blaschko rather than those of a single dermatome.

Abstract
Adenomas of the middle ear are rare benign glandular neoplasms arising from the middle ear mucosa. After previous operations 25 and 15 years before, a 67-year-old female complained about dizziness, tinnitus, and unilateral hearing loss on the left side. A tumor in the tympanum that was revealed by otoscopy could be removed completely. Histological examinations showed an adenoma of the middle ear with cholesteatoma. This was inconsistent with the histological result of the operation in 1983, which had described a hidradenoma. An exact analysis of the preparations confirmed that a middle ear adenoma had already been present in 1983. Hidradenoma is one of the most important differential diagnoses. The characteristic histological sign of middle ear adenomas in contrast to hidradenomas is the lack of myoepithelial cells. In addition, it is very difficult to differentiate middle ear adenoma and adenocarcinoma using histopathological and clinical methods. Therefore, thorough follow-up is mandatory for patients after surgical treatment of middle ear adenomas.

Abstract
Spiradenoma is a benign skin adnexal neoplasm that usually appears as a solitary nodule in any area of the body. There have been only 33 reports on malignant transformation of a benign eccrine spiradenoma since the first description by Dabska in 1972. Most cases have originated on a long-standing cutaneous lesion. These tumors can behave in an aggressive fashion, and some have led to the patient's death. We report 2 new cases of this rare neoplasm affecting 2 men, 92 and 72 years of age, comment on the clinical and pathologic features of our cases, and review the literature concerning this lesion.
