  • Carcinomas of the eccrine sweat gland represent a rare group of tumors with potential for local destruction and metastasis. (medscape.com)

  • In fact, clear cell acanthoma possesses a similar staining pattern to inflammatory dermatoses such as psoriasis vulgaris, lichen planus, and discoid lupus erythematosus and might be a localized form of inflammatory eruption rather than a neoplasm. (medscape.com)
  • 2 With time, it became evident that poromas of an eccrine lineage also exist, but the historic view of poromas as neoplasms of eccrine lineage has persisted such that many poromas are assumed to be eccrine poromas. (clinicaladvisor.com)
  • With the emergence of many immunomarkers, immunohistochemistry has become a vital ancillary diagnostic tool in dermatopathology and an essential adjunct for the correct identification of skin neoplasms. (edu.au)
  • The complexity of some skin neoplasms makes it imperative that the role of immunohistochemistry in subtyping these conditions is clearly understood. (edu.au)
  • The authors hypothesize that this difference may be partly explained by the fact that the bulk of eccrine sweat glands lie deep in the dermis, an environment relatively protected from the sun and environmental mutagens. (medscape.com)
