| A
single lesion demonstrating features of eccrine poroma and poroid
hidradenoma.J
Dermatol. 1995 Oct;22(10):773-9.
A case of a
single poroma lesion with the features of eccrine poroma and poroid
hidradenoma is reported. The patient was a 61-year-old woman with a
soft nodule, light brown in color, located on the posterior aspect of
the right knee and containing a pigmented papular lesion in its
center. The histological features of the papular lesion and the nodule
were consistent with those of eccrine poroma and poroid hidradenoma,
respectively. The eccrine poroma portion consisted mostly of poroid
cells. The number of cuticular cells was slightly greater than that of
poroid cells in the poroid hidradenoma portion. The cuticular cells in
this portion as well as the poroid cells in both portions were
immunohistochemically positive for epithelial membrane antigen. The
findings in this case suggest that there is a close relationship
between eccrine poroma and poroid hidradenoma and support the view
that poroid hidradenoma is a type of poroma. |
