AI Article Synopsis

  • - Hidradenoma Papilliferum is a rare but benign tumor found predominantly in the anogenital region of women aged 30-49, although it can also appear in atypical locations like the breast, ears, and eyelids, known as Ectopic Hidradenoma Papilliferum.
  • - The tumor arises from apocrine or mammary-like glands and is characterized by a firm nodule with no connection to the skin's surface, often described as having a flesh to red color and a frond-like structure upon examination.
  • - A case study highlights a 33-year-old woman who experienced a slow-growing nodule in her perineum for eight months; a biopsy confirmed the diagnosis

Article Abstract

Hidradenoma Papilliferum is an uncommon benign neoplasm typically presents in the anogenital region of 30 to 49 years old females. Rarely it can be seen over the head and over modified apocrine glands area such as breast, external ear canal and eyelids. In these cases, it is referred to as Ectopic Hidradenoma Papilliferum. It usually arises from mammary like glands or apocrine glands, in middle aged females. It has histopathological similarities to intraductul papilloma of breast. Clinically It presents as an isolated dermal or subcutaneous nodule which is said to have no connection to the epidermis. Interestingly the lack of communication with the overlying epithelium is accepted by some as criteria for diagnosis. It usually presents as a firm, flesh to red- coloured nodule in the anogenital area. The nodule is composed of tubules and papillary structures arranged in a frond like pattern. Here I present a case report of 33 Years old unmarried, sexually active female, presented with complaint of, a small swelling over perineum for last 8 months. The swelling has been growing very slowly without any other associated complaints. A biopsy was taken on an outpatient basis which confirmed the diagnosis and patient was treated with complete excision of the lesion.

Sialadenoma papilliferum is a tumor characterized by surface papillary projections and glandular/microcystic proliferation at the lesion base. Cases in which surface involvement is absent have been termed "sialadenoma papilliferum-like intraductal papillary tumor." Similar tumors that are present in the mandible have been termed "tubulopapillary hidradenoma-like tumor of the mandible.

Article Synopsis
  • Poromas are benign skin tumors originating from sweat glands, often appearing as pink or red bumps primarily on hairless areas like palms and soles.
  • A 70-year-old woman had a poroma on her abdomen that showed some histological features similar to another neoplasm, syringocystadenoma papilliferum (SCAP), but lacked certain defining characteristics of SCAP.
  • This case, showing rare SCAP-like features within a poroma, emphasizes the need for careful diagnosis as it may simply reflect a variation of poromas, rather than representing two different tumors.
