Neoplasms of Sweat Gland
Abstract:
Fifty cases of sweat gland tumours seen during a. period of 27 years, accounted for 54.34% of skin appendages tumours. There were 47 sweat glands, tumours and 3 malignant, seen in the 21- 40 years age group. M : F ratio was 1:1 Histopathol4caUy, there were 13 cases of eccrine, acrospiroma, 11 cases each of syringocystadenovaa papiuiferum and chondroid syringoma, 5 cases of eccrine, spiradenoma, 3 cases of dermal cylindrom and 2 cases each of hidradenoma papilliferum and eccrine pogrom. Three cases of malignant sweat gland tumours included 2 cases of sweat gland-carcinoma and 1 case of primary mucmous carcinomas of skin.

Sweat glands are classified as merocrine glands; that is, the secretions are excreted by exocytosis through a duct without affecting the cells of the gland. There...

Exocrine Glands: Methods of Secretion
Merocrine Secretion
Merocrine secretion is the most common type of exocrine secretion. The secretions are enclosed in vesicles and moved to the cell's apical surface, where the contents are released by exocytosis. For example, mucous, a watery secretion rich in the glycoprotein mucin, is a merocrine secretion. The eccrine...

Exocrine Glands: Types of Secretions
Serous glands produce watery secretions rich in digestive enzymes and proteins. The constituent cells of the serous gland have centrally located nuclei and eosinophilic secretory granules in the cytoplasm. The parotid gland is an example of a serous gland. It secretes saliva, which contains enzymes, such as lipases and...
