RESUMO
AbstractA 43-year-old Chinese man presented with generalized hypohidrosis, which he had had since birth, without obvious abnormalities of other skin appendages except a sparse beard and axillary hairs. The sweat test revealed localized sweating on the face, axillae and palms. Histopathologic examination showed that the sweat glands were absent in the forearm and thigh, but some eccrine and apocrine sweat glands were present in the right axilla. S-100 was expressed in the nerve terminals surrounding the acini and ducts of the eccrine sweat glands, while PGP9.5 was positive in the acini of apocrine glands and the nerve terminals surrounding the eccrine glands in the axilla. To our knowledge, this is the first case of congenital idiopathic hypohidrosis in China.

El antígeno carcionoembrionario (CEA) es una glicoproteína de composición heterogénea, normalmente detectada en las células epiteliales fetales y en gran variedad de carcinomas, particularmente en adenocarcinomas del tuvo digestivo (incluyendo páncreas). Por esta característica es referido como un antígeno oncofetal. También se ha observado en la piel en las glándulas apocrinas y ecrinas y en sus tumores, en la Enfermedad de Paget mamaria y extramamaria y en la mayoría de adenocarcinomas metastásicos. En el presente trabajo se hace una revisión de usos en dermopatología
