Published: June 2021

Poroid hidradenoma has both features of hidradenoma and poroma. The histological hidradenoma framework consisting of solid and cystic components, and the presence of poroid and cuticular cells resembling a poroid neoplasm. Despite transforming into malignant neoplasm only in < 1% of cases, its histological characteristics may resemble those of malignant neoplasms. Although the risk of malignant transformation is very low, surgical excision is recommended to prevent growth and/or recurrence. To date, very few cases of poroid hidradenoma have been reported in the literature. Herein, we present a case of poroid hidradenoma on the scalp of a 74-year-old woman.

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.

Article Synopsis
  • There is a challenging distinction between digital papillary adenocarcinoma (DPAC) and benign skin tumors like poroid hidradenoma, as they share similar clinical and histological features.
  • Recent findings indicate that poroid hidradenoma often has YAP1-NUTM1 gene fusions, leading to NUT protein expression that can be detected via immunohistochemistry.
  • In a study comparing DPAC and poroid hidradenoma, strong NUT-1 expression was found in three out of four poroid hidradenoma cases, while it was absent in all DPAC cases, suggesting NUT-1 testing could aid in differentiating these conditions.
