side of the foot. May occur anywhere
Bleeds with slight trauma
Frequent cup-shaped shallow depression
from which the tumor grows

Eccrine poromatosis
Eccrine poroma
Eccrine poroma, scan power view. Note numerous epidermal
connections by the tumor and the degree of acanthosis.
Low power view of above showing the vascular stroma and
relatively uniform cell population.
High power view of the small kertinocyte population
having distinct cytoplasmic borders.

blue or black nodule,
plaque or ulcerated
tumor

mortality
Mohs MS TOC
There are sharply
demarcated nests
of tumor within
the epidermis.
There is sparing
of a rim of normal
epidermal
keratinocytes in
most areas
There is much more atypia than would be expected in a clonal
seborrheic keratosis or in hidroacanthoma simplex. There are no
transitional atypical cells blending with the peripheral normal
keratinocytes. An abnormal mitosis is seen in this picture.
Chondroid Syringoma and
Malignant Chondroid Syringoma

subcutaneous nodule

located on the nose or
cheeks
80 % involving the
head and neck

origin

extremities. Reported on
face, scalp, back, buttocks

excision, Adjuvant
radiation therapy w/wo
chemotherapy
Scanning power view of a shaply demarcated subcutaneous
tumor. There are tubular foci, a cystic area, and a solid
component.
A high power view of the epithelium lining the cystic area.
A medium power view
showing tubular
differentiation.
A high power view showing cells of the type shown
above mixed with other cells lining a tubular structure as
well as being present in solid clusters peripheral to the
tubule..

Extirpation is TOC
Scan power view. Note the epidermal connection/s.
A high power view. Cuboidal and low columar cells form lumina in
this example. There are two delicate blood vessels in this picture.
Clear cell differentiation is seen, and the cells are larger than those
found in the other acrospiromas.
Another high power view. The luminal cells have some apocrine
features. A few delicate blood vessels are in this picture. Some of
the epithelial cells have clear cytoplasm and some do not.
Arrows point to some of the mucus producing cells. A characteristic
unit composed of a vessel surrounded by cells having stainable
cytoplasm which are surrounded by clear cells is seen near the top of
the image.
