Comments

The papillary eccrine adenoma often occurs on the distal extremities of African-American women, as in this case. It is a benign lesion of eccrine origin. Some cases show more papillary projections, but otherwise this shows classic features.

Description

The glandular spaces are lined by two layers of low cuboidal cells. Few papillae project into the lumen, Atypia and mitotic activity are not seen.
