Tubular
apocrine adenoma(TAA) is a rare benign neoplasm usually found on the scalp. It has
been designated as an apocrine histogenesis on the basis of its ultrastructural
characteristics, enzyme, and immunohistochemical phenotype. Histopathologically
the neoplasm consists of tubules or cysts, which show signs of apocrine secretion
and sometimes needs to be differentiated from papillary eccrine adenoma. We report
a typical case of TAA on nostril which shows differentiation toward apocrine in
nature. |
