ABSTRACT
Introduction@#Syringocystadenoma papilliferum (SCAP) is a relatively rare benign adnexal skin tumor which can manifest in a variety of clinical forms. Nearly one-third of cases are known to develop within a pre-existing nevus sebaceus (NS). The peculiar feature of this case was the appearance of a large exophytic tumor within a congenital verrucous plaque, which raised the suspicion of a malignant transformation. This is a case of a young Filipino adult with an unusual presentation of syringocystad- enoma papilliferum in a nevus sebaceus mimicking squamous cell carcinoma.@*Case report@#A 27-year-old Filipino female presented a persistently enlarging exophytic pedunculated cribriform tumor within a congenital verrucous plaque on the left temporal area. The tumor started to appear when she was 20 years old. One month prior to consult, it rapidly increased in size and bled on gentle manipulation. She has neither comorbidities nor any family history of a similar condition. Her physical examination was normal, with no palpable lymphadenopathies. The biopsy showed syringo- cystadenoma papilliferum on a nevus sebaceus. She underwent carbon dioxide (CO2 ) laser excision under local anesthesia. The procedure was uneventful and the patient is on regular follow-up and close monitoring for any possible malignant change or recurrence.@*Conclusion@#A case of syringocystadenoma papilliferum on a nevus sebaceus mimicking squamous cell carcinoma in a Filipino female treated with carbon dioxide laser excision was presented. The unusual presentation of SCAP can mimic malignancy and histopathologic evaluation is warranted to rule out malignant transformation for proper management.

Abstract: Syringocystadenoma papilliferum and tubular apocrine adenoma are rare benign sweat gland tumors. Syringocystadenoma papilliferum occurs alone or in association with other tumors. Although it is rare, the association of tubular apocrine adenoma with syringocystadenoma papilliferum developing in a sebaceous nevus on the scalp is well documented. However, the co-existence of these two tumors without the background of a sebaceous nevus has not been frequently reported. Syringocystadenoma papilliferum and tubular apocrine adenoma may have a histopathological overlap, but a few cases of a syringocystadenoma papilliferum combined with a tubular apocrine adenoma have been reported. Herein we describe an unusual case of syringocystadenoma papilliferum co-existing with a tubular apocrine adenoma located on the back of a 14-year-old patient in the absence of a pre-existing sebaceous nevus.

El hidradenoma papilífero es una tumoración benigna, rara, generalmente localizada en la región vulvar o perineal siendo la región perianal una localización poco frecuente. Su asociación con enfermedades de transmisión sexual y el carcinoma ductal es controvertida; es importante realizar el estudio histopatológico de cualquier tumoración en esta zona. Se reporta el caso de una paciente de 49 años de edad, con un nódulo en la región perianal de 2 años de evolución; el estudio histopatológico confirmó el diagnóstico de hidradenoma papilífero. (AU)
The papilliferous hidradenoma is a benign, rare tumor, usually located in the vulvar or perineal region and the perianal region is a rare site. Its association with sexually transmitted diseases and ductal carcinoma is controversial. It is important to perform the histopathological study of any tumor in this area. The case of a 49-year-old patient with a nodule in the perianal region of 2 years of evolution is reported. The histopathological study confirmed the diagnosis of papilliferous hidradenoma.

El nevo sebáceo o nevo de Jadassohn es un hamartoma cutáneo congénito poco frecuente formado por múltiples estructuras cutáneas. Presenta potencial de transformación a una variedad de neoplasias epidérmicas benignas y malignas, que suelen presentarse de manera individual. Si bien esta descrito en la literatura, es inusual el desarrollo de más de una neoplasia sobre un nevo sebáceo. En esta publicación se presenta el caso de un hombre de 62 años con una lesión de 3 años de evolución, cuyo estudio histopatológico demostró la presencia de un carcinoma basocelular y un siringocistoadenoma papilífero sobre un nevo sebáceo de Jadassohn.
Nevus sebaceous of Jadassohn is an infrequent cutaneous congenital hamartoma, formed by multiple cutaneous structures. It possesses a transformation potential to benign and malignant epidermic neoplasms, that usually present individually. Even though a few cases have been published, the coexistence of two or more tumors is rare. We hereby present the case of a 62 years old male, with a nevus sebaceous of Jadassohn history, that after excisional biopsy showed the presence of a basal cell carcinoma associated to a syringocystoadenoma papilliferum.

El hidradenoma papilífero es una neoplasia benigna, quística y papilar, poco frecuente que por lo general aparece en la vulva, aunque también se ha descrito en otras zonas. Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 74 años con uno localizado en región perianal, cuyo diagnóstico clínico inicial fue sarcoma de Kaposi. El interés de este informe radica en recalcar que esta afección puede aparecer en una zona diferente a la vulva, para evitar diagnósticos erróneos...
Papillary hidradenoma is a rare benign neoplasm characterized by the presence of cystic and papillary structures that usually occurs on the vulva but has also been described in other locations. We report the case of a 74 year-old woman with a perianal papillary hidradenoma. An initial diagnosis of Kaposi´s sarcoma was made. In order to prevent mistaken diagnoses, this report aims to emphasize this lesion is not limited to the vulva and may appear in other locations...

Comunicamos un caso de adenomatosis erosiva del pezón con correlación clínico-patológica, patología infrecuente y que debemos conocer para evitar cirugías agresivas innecesarias, dado que se presta al diagnóstico diferencial con la enfermedad de Paget y el carcinoma de mama intraductal.
A case of erosive adenomatosis of the nipple is reported with a clinicopathologic correlation, an unusual disease that we, as dermatologists, should know since the differential diagnosis with the Paget's disease and the intraductal breast carcinoma can lead to unnecessary surgery.
