The malignant counterpart of a poroma is referred to as porocarcinoma. Poromas historically have been considered glandular adnexal neoplasms of eccrine lineage, and this view is so entrenched that the neoplasm is often referred to as eccrine poroma; however, recent analyses by many investigators suggest that poromas can be of either eccrine or apocrine lineage. Apocrine poromas are probably more common than those of eccrine lineage. Poromas belong to the spectrum of acrospiromas, along with nodular hidradenomas, clear cell hidradenomas, dermal duct tumors, and hidroacanthoma simplex. Pathophysiology: A poroma is a benign neoplasm that shows differentiation toward poroid (glandular ductal) cells. The malignant counterpart of poromas is porocarcinoma, which also shows poroid differentiation. Poromas occur only in the skin and are not known to affect any other tissues. Frequency: In the US: Precise prevalence figures have not been calculated for this benign neoplasm. Internationally: The worldwide prevalence is not thought to differ from that observed in the United States. Mortality/Morbidity: A poroma usually manifests as a solitary papule or nodule. Most lesions are asymptomatic, but minor pain can accompany some lesions. Rarely, the patient develops multiple poromas simultaneously, a phenomenon known as poromatosis. Multiple poromas may be of cosmetic concern and are sometimes disabling, especially if involvement of the sole is noted. Race: Poromas are not known to have racial or ethnic predilection. Sex: No sex predilection is known in the distribution of poromas. Males and females are equally affected. Age: Poromas can develop in persons of any age, but onset is typically in adulthood.

Although most are asymptomatic, pain can be a presenting sign. Poromas are one of many types of benign adnexal neoplasms that can manifest secondarily within a nevus sebaceus. Physical: Poromas typically manifest as skin-colored papules or nodules smaller than 2 cm in diameter. Poromas may occasionally manifest as pigmented lesions. Protuberant lesions may exhibit surface erosion or ulceration. Rarely, a poroma manifests in association with nevus sebaceus as a secondary neoplasm. Causes: The specific causes of poromas are not known. In contrast to some adnexal neoplasms of follicular lineage, poroma development has no established familial predilection.

The diagnosis typically cannot be made based solely on clinical findings alone, although an experienced observer may recognize the entity. The diagnosis can be fully established after surgical excision with subsequent microscopical examination by an http://www.emedicine.com/derm/topic112.htm 16/3/2007 eMedicine - Poroma : Article by Timothy McCalmont, MD Page 4 of 8 appropriately trained and certified dermatopathologist. Imaging Studies: Imaging studies are not needed in the evaluation of this benign and typically superficial adnexal neoplasm. Other Tests: No other testing is applicable. Procedures: No procedures (other than simple excision) are applicable to this entity. Histologic Findings: Like all benign neoplasms, poromas typically show relatively sharp circumscription. Most tend to be small, although sizable tumors can be encountered. Poromas are composed of small cuboidal epithelial cells with monomorphous ovoid nuclei and inconspicuous nucleoli. The individual neoplastic cells have compact eosinophilic cytoplasm. Areas of ductal differentiation are manifested as tubules lined by a dense eosinophilic cuticle, and, sometimes, cytoplasmic vacuoles can also be seen as an indicator of luminal differentiation. Although poromas can usually be deemed benign based on circumscription and benign cytologic features, these lesions not uncommonly show small foci of necrosis en masse and a highly vascularized (granulation tissue–like) stroma, the combination of which can create concern for malignancy, especially in inexperienced observers. Poromas manifest several different variations. Intraepidermal poroma (historically known as hidroacanthoma simplex) represents a form of poroma in which nests of cells with tubular differentiation are confined to the surface epidermis, with no evidence of dermal involvement. This pattern of poromas can sometimes cause confusion with other entities that may exhibit an intraepidermal pattern of growth, including seborrheic keratosis and melanocytic neoplasms. Juxtaepidermal poroma refers to a pattern of poroma in which nests and thick cords of cells are in continuity with the epidermis but also involve the superficial dermis. The intervening stroma is highly vascularized, as described above. Dermal poroma (historically referred to as dermal duct tumor) represents a pattern of poroma confined wholly to the dermis. Some intradermal poromas have relatively little stroma, while others display the highly vascularized stroma that is typical of superficial poromas. Poromas belong to the family of tumors known as acrospiromas. These tumors all differentiate towards the acrosyringium. Other variants of acrospiroma include clear cell hidradenoma and nodular hidradenoma. Mixed patterns are common. Staging: Staging is not applicable to the evaluation of a benign neoplasm.

    Original Research Article Adnexa Cutis: Demystifying the plethora of Pilosebaceous and Sweat gland neoplasms Deepak Kumar B1,*, Sakthidasan Chinnathambi P2, Srinivasa Murthy V3 1Associate Professor, 2Junior Resident, 3Professor & Head, Dept. of Pathology, ESIC Medical College & PGIMSR ESIC Model Hospital, Bangalore *Corresponding Author: Email: [email protected] Abstract Background: The neoplasms of the adnexa cutis arising from the pluripotent stem cell show differentiation towards one of the four adnexal cell lines i.e. follicular, sebaceous, eccrine and apocrine type. Categorizing these neoplasms into specific cell line differentiation and into benign or malignant is important, as malignant adnexal neoplasms are associated with a number of uncommon genetic syndromes and have an aggressive outcome. This study was conducted to primarily categorize these neoplasms based on their histological differentiation. Methods: Fifty-five cases of adnexa cutis that were reported over a four-year period were classified based on their histopathological differentiation and association with clinical parameters. Results: Thirty-three cases (60%) showed pilosebaceous differentiation with pilomatricoma being the commonest benign neoplasm. Twenty two cases (40%) showed eccrine differentiation. The most common malignant adnexal tumor was sebaceous carcinoma. (3 cases – 5.4%). Conclusion: All clinically suspected nodular/papular lesions should be subjected for histopathological examination and classified by differentiation to accurately determine the biologic behavior of the neoplasm.

Aim : The present study is undertaken to assess the application of fine needle aspiration cytology in the diagnosis of eccrine skin adnexal tumors at all possible dermal and subcutaneous sites. Material and Methods: This is a retrospective study of fine needle aspiration cytology of subcutaneous swellings over a period of two years from January 2009 to December 2010 in a tertiary care center. A total of 2400 cases of dermal and subcutaneous swellings, for which fine needle aspiration cytology was done with histological follow up, were included in the study. The aspirates were provisionally diagnosed as basaloid neoplasms of skin adnexal origin. The aspirates were further grouped into benign and malignant lesions based on cell morphology and correlation between cytological and histological diagnoses was assessed. Results: Out of the 2400 cases of subcutaneous swellings, 20 cases were provisionally diagnosed as basaloid neoplasms of skin adnexal origin. They included 12 benign and 8 malignant lesions.
