Eccrine poroma localized in the second toe.

Eccrine poroma is a rare adult benign adnexal tumor that originates in the excretory pore of the sweat gland. It is a small reddish lesion, protuberant, fleshy, and well-defined. It is located preferably in the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet [1].

The role of reflectance confocal microscopy in the diagnosis of eccrine poroma: A retrospective case-control study.

Eccrine poroma (EP) is a rare benign adnexal tumor that may mimic benign or malignant tumors and differential diagnosis may be difficult under clinical and dermoscopic examination. Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) examination may add important information to diagnosis and subsequent management of solitary lesions for which dermoscopy can be challenging. The aim of the present study was to investigate features of EP at RCM in order to detect the characteristics that might aid in the differential diagnosis of EP versus other solitary lesions (benign or malignant).

Intraabdominal dissemination of porocarcinoma; A case report.

Introduction: Porocarcinoma is a rare malignancy of dermal sweat glands commonly diagnosed in the seventh decade of life. It frequently evolves from a de novo benign poroma. These tumors present as a mass/nodule, ulcer, papule, or wart.

Poroma: A Retrospective Series of 80 Patients at a Tertiary Care Hospital.

Background: Poroma is a benign, exclusively cutaneous, adnexal tumor with a predilection for palmoplantar skin.

Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics of poroma in our population.

Material And Methods: Retrospective study of patients diagnosed with poroma between 2002 and 2021.

Pigmented eccrine poroma in an atypical location.

Eccrine poroma is the term that includes benign neoplasms of the terminal duct of the eccrine sweat glands, which may clinically and dermoscopically resemble other melanoma and non-melanoma skin tumors. They are often located on the extremities (especially palms and soles), presenting as normochromic or erythematous papules and nodules, measuring up to 2 cm. Pigmented variants are uncommon, accounting for less than 20% of cases.

Molecular analysis of NUT-positive poromas and porocarcinomas identifies novel break points of YAP1::NUTM1 fusions.

Background: Poromas, and their malignant counterparts, porocarcinomas, harbor recurrent translocations involving YAP1-MAML2, YAP1-NUTM1, and infrequently WWTR1-NUTM1; YAP1-NUTM1 being the most common in porocarcinomas. NUT immunohistochemistry (IHC) can be used to identify NUTM1-translocated tumors. This study sought to investigate potential novel NUTM1-fusion partners among NUT IHC-positive poromas and porocarcinomas.

Head and Neck Porocarcinoma: SEER Analysis of Epidemiology and Survival.

Unlabelled: Porocarcinoma is a rare malignant adnexal tumor. Little is known about the location of the disease in the head and neck. Our aim is to offer the largest analysis of demographic, pathological, and treatment patterns of head and neck porocarcinoma in comparison with other locations of the neoplasm from an epidemiologically representative cohort.

Porocarcinoma of the left arm: A report of a rare skin cancer case and literature review.

Porocarcinoma is a rare type of skin cancer that develops from the intraepidermal ductal part of eccrine sweat glands. It can arise de novo or from poroma ground with high potential for locoregional metastatic spread, morbidity, and mortality. It mostly occurs in elderly patients.

Primary Spindle Cell Sarcoma of the Lung with Fusion: An Extremely Rare Case of a Potentially Emerging Entity and Review of the Literature.

Originally described in a rare subset of poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinomas termed NUT carcinomas, rearrangements are now known to characterize a wide spectrum of neoplasms including sarcomas, poromas/porocarcinomas, unclassified adnexal carcinomas and pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) has led to the identification of a multitude of novel fusion partners in addition to , which was initially reported in the majority of NUT carcinomas. -rearranged sarcomas usually harbor fusions with the MAD gene family (, , ) and present as spindle cell proliferations in diverse locations in patients of all ages.

UV-induced local immunosuppression in the tumour microenvironment of eccrine porocarcinoma and poroma.

Eccrine porocarcinoma (EPC) is a rare malignant adnexal tumour of the skin. Part of EPCs develop from their benign counterpart, poroma (EP), with chronic light exposure and immunosuppression hypothesized to play a role in the malignant transformation. However, the impact of chronic light exposure on the microenvironment of EPCs and EPs has not been investigated yet.

Breast metastases of eccrine porocarcinoma.

Eccrine porocarcinoma is a rare skin adnexal malignant neoplasm that may arise from a pre-existing benign eccrine poroma or without a predisposing factor. It is a highly invasive neoplasm and has a strong metastatic potential. The most frequently affected organs are the lymph nodes and rarely solid organs such as the liver, lungs and breast.

Dermal Duct Tumor: A Diagnostic Dilemma.

Poromas or poroid tumors are a group of rare, benign cutaneous neoplasms derived from the terminal eccrine or apocrine sweat gland duct. There are four poroma variants with overlapping features: dermal duct tumor (DDT), eccrine poroma, hidroacanthoma simplex, and poroid hidradenoma, of which DDT is the least common. Clinically, the variants have a nonspecific appearance and present as solitary dome-shaped papules, plaques, or nodules.

Fusion-positive skin/adnexal carcinomas.

Gene fusions have been increasingly identified as central events driving oncogenesis in a variety of benign and malignant neoplasms of different histogenesis originating in diverse organs. While some fusion-driven neoplasms may occur at any body site, certain genotypes and their associated phenotypic entities cluster to specific body site/organ, albeit with variable frequencies among anatomic locations. In the last two decades, several skin adnexal entities driven by specific fusions have been described; some of them represent new entities (eg, secretory carcinoma harboring NTRK fusions), while others are old established entities with newly discovered underlying gene fusions (eg, poroid neoplasms harboring NUTM1, YAP1, and WWTR1 fusions).

Trichilemmal cysts with proteinaceous material: A potential diagnostic pitfall.

Background: Cysts of the skin are observed frequently and their diagnoses are generally straightforward. However, atypical cystic lesions for which differentiation is indistinct have been noted.

Methods: We examined five cases of trichilemmal cyst with proteinaceous material (TCPM), which required differentiation from sweat duct/gland tumors.

Combined Poroma and Verruca Plantaris.

A 76-year-old female patient presented with a peculiar new exophytic-appearing, flesh-colored skin lesion on her left hallux. Owing to its atypical appearance, the neoplasm was biopsied. Histologic sections demonstrated numerous thickened, anastomosing cord-like structures composed of bland appearing adnexal keratinocytes attached to the epidermis and extending into the superficial dermis.

Unusual Presentations of Eccrine Porocarcinomas.

Eccrine porocarcinomas (EPCs) are rare tumours, albeit the most common malignant adnexal tumours of the skin. They can present with very heterogeneous clinical and dermoscopic features, rendering diagnosis limited to histopathological examination alone. We share 2 cases of EPCs, one of which arose in a patient with a prior diagnosis of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and another whose EPC was likely a malignant transformation of an existing poroma.

Metastatic Porocarcinoma Effectively Managed by Pembrolizumab.

Eccrine porocarcinoma (EPC) is a rare malignancy of the sweat glands. Currently, there is no standard algorithm for its presentations, diagnosis, and management. However, immunotherapy is an emerging option that may be crucial to the treatment of EPC.
