Background/objectives: Hidrocystomas, eccrine and apocrine, are rare cystic lesions that form benign tumors of the sweat glands. This study aimed to describe the clinical features of hidrocystomas and evaluate the role of non-invasive imaging techniques, including dermoscopy, Line-field Confocal Optical Coherence Tomography (LC-OCT), Reflectance Confocal Microscopy (RCM), and Ultra-High-Frequency Ultrasound (UHFUS), in their diagnosis.

Methods: In total, seven cases of hidrocystomas were collected from the Dermatologic Clinic of the University of Siena, Italy.

Article Synopsis
  • - The human body has two main types of sweat glands: apocrine and eccrine, with eccrine glands playing a key role in thermoregulation and grip enhancement, controlled by the autonomic nervous system.
  • - Sudoscan technology measures electrochemical skin conductance (ESC) to diagnose small fiber neuropathy non-invasively, showing comparable effectiveness to more invasive testing methods while offering better accessibility and reliability.
  • - Unlike traditional skin conductance measures, Sudoscan focuses specifically on sudomotor function, and its integration into consumer health devices indicates its potential uses outside clinical settings, paving the way for future medical research.

There are very few case reports in the literature detailing miliaria pustulosa in neonates. When presenting in neonates, its similarity to life-threatening infections may cause diagnostic confusion.

Eccrine carcinoma (EC) is a rare intraepidermal carcinoma of the eccrine sweat glands. Even more rare are instances of EC exhibiting intracranial invasion. Here, we describe the case of a metachronous EC mass demonstrating intracranial invasion in a patient with advanced-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), reporting CT head findings of a left frontal skull expansile destructive mass with soft tissue density and immunostain findings of the following: CEA: positive, granular, EMA: positive, AE1/AE3: positive, CK7: strongly positive, CK20: negative, GCDFP: negative, and HEPAR: negative.

Squamoid eccrine ductal carcinoma (SEDC) is a cutaneous adnexal malignancy that is histologically challenging to distinguish from squamous cell carcinoma. We report three cases of this rare entity and review the present literature regarding clinical, histological, and immunohistochemical features. Patients presented with a single nodule or plaque lesion on their back and temple.
