A 28-year-old man came to us with a solitary skin colored, mildly tender nodule of 6 months duration on the dorsum of the right hand. On histological examination, multiple dilated ducts without apparent continuity with the surface were found in the dermis. These dilated ducts had branching tubules with eosinophilic amorphous material filling most of the lumina. The peripheral cells of the tubules resembled myoepithelial cells, whereas the luminal border cells were cuboidal or low columnar. Papillary projections arising from the inner cells were seen extending into the lumen. These features were diagnostic of a rare tumor, papillary eccrine adenoma.

Sweat gland cancers, particularly eccrine sweat gland carcinomas, are rare and challenging to treat due to their aggressive nature and inconspicuous clinical presentation. Aggressive digital papillary adenocarcinoma, a rare subtype, frequently presents with delays in diagnosis, increasing the risk of metastasis and recurrence. Surgical excision remains the standard treatment, but the role of postoperative radiation therapy is not well-established due to the paucity of data.

Article Synopsis
- Digital papillary adenocarcinoma (DPA) is a rare and often misdiagnosed malignant tumor, commonly mistaken for benign conditions, leading to delayed diagnosis and treatment.
- A 57-year-old man with recurrent finger infections was ultimately diagnosed with DPA after a surgical evaluation and biopsy revealed both infection and the tumor, necessitating surgical removal.
- Accurate diagnosis is vital due to the tumor's tendency for recurrence and metastasis, particularly to the lungs and lymph nodes, and current treatment primarily involves surgical excision with focus on achieving negative margins.

Digital papillary adenocarcinoma is a rare cutaneous tumor of eccrine origin that often presents as a papule or nodule on the dorsal aspect of a finger. It is challenging to diagnose because of its rarity, its benign appearance, and the lack of specific clinical or histological features. Excision is recommended, given the malignant nature and variable recurrence rates with metastases well documented in the literature.

A 70-year-old African American female with a history of stage IV mycosis fungoides in remission presented with a gradually enlarging, red, ulcerated nodule on her right dorsal hand. The lesion was biopsied, and it showed intraepidermal proliferation with cytologic atypia and increased vasculature in the papillary dermis. Immunohistochemical staining indicated a yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1) rearrangement, confirmed by RNA sequencing, revealing a YAP1::MAML2 (mastermind-like transcriptional coactivator 2) fusion.

Article Synopsis
- Poroid hidradenomas are rare tumors that develop from eccrine sweat glands and typically present as nodules made up of cuticular and poroid cells.
- They are classified under poroid neoplasms, which also includes other similar tumors like hidroacanthoma simplex and eccrine poroma, and their diagnosis can be complicated due to similarities with other tumors.
- A case study of a 56-year-old woman with a nodular lesion on her finger confirmed a poroid hidradenoma through histopathological analysis, emphasizing the necessity for careful clinical evaluation and diagnosis for these uncommon dermatological issues.
