Papillary Eccrine Adenoma: A Case Report

Abstract

Papillary Eccrine Adenoma (PEA) is a rare benign cutaneous sweat gland tumor which usually presents as an isolated, well circumscribed dermal nodule for a prolonged duration of time. It has a slow growing nature with greater incidence in women. It can resemble other cutaneous neoplasms, hence, it may present with diagnostic challenges. We report a case of Papillary Eccrine Adenoma in a 75yr old woman diagnosed by light microscopy. So far a total of 48 cases are reported in English literature.
