Abstract:
Syringocystadenoma papilliferum (SCAP), tubular apocrine adenoma (TAA), and eccrine nevus are rare benign sweat gland tumors with varied clinical presentations but generally distinctive histomorphologic profiles. TAA and SCAP have been associated with other cutaneous hamartomas, most commonly with nevus sebaceus. Additionally, TAA and SCAP have uncommonly co-occurred in the same lesion. In contrast to nevus sebaceus, eccrine nevus is considerably less common and is rarely associated with other benign adnexal lesions. Here we present an unusual case of a complex sweat gland hamartoma containing features of syringocystadenoma papilliferum, tubular apocrine adenoma, and eccrine nevus in a 7-year-old female.
