Squamous islands in eccrine neoplasms are common, appearing in 46% of cases. Their presence does not necessarily indicate malignancy, as they occur in both benign and malignant tumors.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatopathology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Squamous cell presence in eccrine neoplasms is often misconstrued as malignant transformation.
  • The significance of squamous islands within eccrine neoplasms requires further clarification.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the prevalence and characteristics of squamous islands in eccrine neoplasms.
  • To determine if squamous islands are exclusively indicative of malignant eccrine neoplasms.

Main Methods:

  • Histological examination of eccrine neoplasms.
  • Classification of squamous islands based on location, structure, and atypia.

Main Results:

  • Squamous islands were identified in 46% of studied eccrine neoplasms.
  • Three distinct types of squamous islands were observed, suggesting varied origins.

  • Squamous islands were present in both benign and malignant eccrine neoplasms.
  • Conclusions:

    • The presence of squamous islands in eccrine neoplasms is not a definitive marker of malignancy.
    • Squamous islands can arise from epidermal/hair follicle elements or squamous syringo-metaplasia.
    • Histological evaluation should consider the full spectrum of features, not solely squamous islands, for accurate diagnosis.
