Area of Science:

Dermatopathology
Histology
Surgical Pathology

Background:

Adenolipoma of the skin is an uncommon microscopic variant of solitary lipoma.
It is characterized by the presence of eccrine sweat glands within the adipose tissue proliferation.
This histological feature is analogous to adenolipoma found in the breast.

Observation:

This report details two novel cases of skin adenolipoma.
The cases were analyzed to further understand the nature of this rare lesion.

Findings:

Skin adenolipoma is a benign neoplastic proliferation of adipose tissue.
The defining characteristic is the entrapment of normal eccrine sweat glands within the lipoma.
Clinically, it is indistinguishable from a standard solitary lipoma.

Implications:

Adenolipoma of the skin represents a histological variant rather than a distinct clinical entity.
The presence of eccrine glands is likely incidental, resulting from entrapment during adipose tissue growth.
Understanding this variant is important for accurate histopathological diagnosis and avoiding misclassification.
