Epidermoid hidradenoma. A clinicopathologic study.

R J Stanley, N P Sanchez, M C Massa

    Journal of Cutaneous Pathology
    |October 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    Epidermoid hidradenoma, a benign skin tumor, typically presents as asymptomatic nodules on the head and neck in older adults. Despite some atypical features, these tumors show no significant change in prognosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatopathology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Hidradenomas are benign skin neoplasms originating from sweat glands.
    • The epidermoid variant of hidradenoma is a less common subtype.
    • Understanding the clinical and histopathologic features is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present clinical and histopathologic data of epidermoid hidradenoma cases.
    • To evaluate the prognostic implications of histologic atypia in this variant.
    • To determine if the epidermoid variant warrants separate classification from other benign hidradenomas.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 8 cases of epidermoid hidradenoma.
    • Analysis of clinical presentation, tumor location, and patient demographics.
    • Histopathologic examination including assessment of atypia and mitotic activity.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Long-term follow-up evaluation.

    • Main Results:

    • Most tumors occurred in the head and neck region of middle-aged and older adults.
    • Lesions typically presented as asymptomatic nodules, occasionally with ulceration or rapid growth.
    • Despite focal histologic atypia and mitotic activity, all tumors were benign on long-term follow-up.
    • Cytologic variability did not correlate with prognosis.

    Conclusions:

    • Epidermoid hidradenoma is a benign neoplasm.
    • This variant should be grouped with other benign solid-cystic hidradenomas.
    • Histologic atypia does not alter the benign prognosis of epidermoid hidradenoma.
