ABSTRACT
Abstract: Acrospiroma, also known as hidradenoma, is a rare cutaneous tumor that has several histological characteristics. As a consequence, a high index of suspicion is necessary for its diagnosis. Here we report a case that illustrates the importance of a good clinical-pathologic correlation in order to recognize this disease.

Reportamos el caso de un espiroadenoma ecrino en una paciente de 90 años de edad, que empezó un año antes de la consulta con una lesión en el párpado. Se trata de un tumor benigno de la glándulas sudoríparas que es raro en el párpado. Al principio pensamos en otro tumor, como el carcinoma sebáceo, por su rápido crecimiento. La posibilidad de un tumor de glándulas sudoríparas debiera considerarse en el diagnóstico de tumores palpebrales.
We report a case of an eccrine spiradenoma in a 90 years old woman, who began a year before with the lesion on the eyelid. It is a begin sweat gland tumor, that is rare on the eyelid. At the beginning we thougth in an other tumor, like sebaceous carcinoma for its quick growth. The possibility of sweat gland tumor should be kept in mind in the diagnosis of eyelid tumours.

We report a case of nodular hidradenoma in a 90 year old male, presenting with an eyelid swelling. The cytomorphological features are described with special emphasis on cytoplasmic granularity and tubule formation as an important feature in diagnosing and differentiating eccrine tumors from other adnexal neoplasms on FNAC.

Introducción: Poroma es un tumor benigno, del conducto excretor de las glándulas suporíparas. El diagnóstico diferencial es amplio: porocarcinoma, granuloma telangiectásico, melanoma, etc. Objetivos: Determinar la correlación clínico-patológica de los pacientes con diagnósticos de poroma durante los años 1994-2003 en el Centro de Histodiagnósticos Málaga, Santiago de Chile y la ubicación de estas lesiones. Materiales y Métodos: Se analizaron retrospectivamente 37.500 biopsias entre los años 1994-2003, seleccionando aquellas con diagnóstico histopatológico de poroma. Se analizó la ubicación, diagnóstico clínico de derivación y la correlación clínico-patológica. Resultados: El 0,1 por ciento de las biopsias examinadas tenía el diagnóstico de poroma. La ubicación clínica más frecuentes fue: pie (27 por ciento), muslo y pierna (20 por ciento), tórax (8 por ciento). Los diagnósticos clínicos de derivación fueron: granuloma telangiectásico (19 por ciento), angioma (8 por ciento), tumor benigno (8 por ciento), nevo (8 por ciento). Conclusiones: Sólo un 7,5 por ciento del total de biopsias con diagnóstico histológico de poroma, tuvieron diagnóstico clínico concordante.

Este relato apresenta um caso de poroma écrino, uma neoplasia benigna e incomum da glândula sudorípara, localizado no torax de um menino de treze anos. Como os tumores anexiais têm classificaçöes controversas, os autores também fazem uma revisäo da literatura sobre poroma écrino abordando os mais recentes achados no seu diagnóstico e tratamento. O tumor apresentado neste relato chama a atençäo näo apenas pelo seu tamanho e pela idade do paciente mas também pelo local encontrado

Eccrine porocarcinoma is a rare tumor of eccrine sweat ducts of the skin. We report a case successfully treated surgically. These tumors hardly have a typical clinical appearance but is easily recognizable histologically. Three morfological variants can be identified: a benign, a premalignant or dysplastic, and an invasive, malignant form. Symptoms such as bleeding, pain and itching are sugestive of a possible malignant transformation. Primary treatment is wide surgical excision. The value of adjunctive therapy has not been proved. Our report and review of the literature illustrate the natural history and pathological finding of this disease
