Comments

Eccrine syringofibroadenoma is a rare tumor of eccrine derivation. Due to the thin, anastamosing strands, the low power differential diagnosis includes a fibroepithelioma of Pinkus and a seborrhiec keratosis, among others. This lesion is benign and shows characteristic eccrine differentiation, such as ductules within the strands. The cells are not cytologically atypical and peritumoral clefting is not seen.

Description

There are scattered ductules within the epithelium. The cells are not cytologically atypical and there is no peritumoral clefting. The stroma is fibromucinous and mildly hypercellular.
