Eccrine gland clear reticulated cytoplasm.

J M Burket, R Brooks, D A Burket

    Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology
    |September 1, 1985

    Summary

    A normal variation in eccrine secretory coils can be mistaken for disease. Electron microscopy reveals unique ultrastructural details of this common variation, aiding accurate diagnosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Histopathology
    • Electron Microscopy

    Background:

    • Eccrine glands are crucial for thermoregulation.
    • Pathologic changes in eccrine coils can indicate various skin conditions.
    • Accurate differentiation between normal variations and pathology is essential for diagnosis.

    Observation:

    • A common variation of the eccrine secretory coil was observed.
    • This variation was initially mistaken for a pathologic change.
    • The study presents novel electron microscopic findings of this variation.

    Findings:

    • Electron microscopy revealed distinct ultrastructural features of the normal eccrine coil variation.
    • These features differentiate the variation from actual pathologic alterations.
    • This detailed ultrastructural analysis has not been previously reported.

    Implications:

    • Improved diagnostic accuracy in dermatopathology.
    • Reduced misdiagnosis of eccrine gland conditions.
    • Enhanced understanding of normal eccrine gland morphology.
