Fine needle aspiration cytology of chondroid syringoma and syringocystadenoma papilliferum. A report of two cases.

Fine needle aspiration cytology of one case each of chondroid syringoma and syringocystadenoma papilliferum with histopathologic confirmation are reported. The aspirate of chondroid syringoma was characterized by the presence of two distinct components, a mesenchymal element with a chondroid appearance and an epithelial component. The chondroid element predominated in the smears. The aspirate from syringocystadenoma papilliferum showed papillalike clusters and dyshesive, monomorphic epithelial cells in a background of inflammatory cells. The clinical diagnosis and differential cytodiagnoses are discussed.

Sclerosing sweat-duct carcinoma (malignant syringoma) of the upper eyelid: a patient report with immunohistochemical and ultrastructural analysis.

Sclerosing sweat-duct carcinoma or malignant syringoma is a rare eyelid tumor. The authors report the first patient with sclerosing sweat-duct carcinoma involving the upper eyelid and present its immunohistochemical and ultrastructural features. The clinical features and the histopathologic and ultrastructural findings that distinguish this tumor from its benign counterparts are discussed. Sclerosing sweat-duct carcinomas are slow growing but locally invasive neoplasms that have a propensity to recur. Wide and deep surgical excision with frozen section evaluation of margins is recommended.

A case of Grover's disease with syringoma-like features and leukemia cutis.

UNLABELLED: Leukemia cutis used to be a late manifestation of leukemia. On the other hand, Grover's disease has been described in the setting of cancer. CASE REPORT: A patient diagnosed as having a chronic myelomonocytic leukemia presented with lichenoid, slightly infiltrated plaques on the anterior aspect of his thorax and abdomen and papulovesicles on his back. A skin biopsy showed the co-existence of leukemia cutis, Grover's disease, and syringoma-like features. DISCUSSION: We discuss and comment upon this unusual association.

Malignant chondroid syringoma.

Malignant chondroid syringoma (MCS) is a rare tumor, of the sweat gland; only a few hundred such cases are reported in literature. A female presented with a subcutaneous swelling on the scalp with repeated recurrence and positive regional lymph nodes. Adequate planning for the treatment of this case was possible as preoperative diagnosis of MCS was documented by fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). The case was successfully managed with a multimodal approach, which included radical surgery and subsequent radiotherapy. The patient is symptom free after 25 months. The possibility of this type tumor should be entertained when multiple recurrences occur following adequate excision. FNAC has a definitive role in planning rational therapy.

Brooke-Spiegler syndrome associated with cylindroma, trichoepithelioma, spiradenoma, and syringoma.

Brooke-Spiegler syndrome is a rare, autosomally dominant disease characterized by the development of multiple cylindromas, trichoepitheliomas, and occasional spiradenomas. We report herein a case of Brooke-Spiegler syndrome in a 55-year-old woman associated with multiple cylindromas, spiradenomas, trichoepitheliomas, and syringomas that developed on her face. Her 52-year-old sister also suffered from multiple trichoepitheliomas. Although there is variable clinical and histological expression in Brooke-Spiegler syndrome, all of the tumors encountered in our case were related to folliculosebaceous-apocrine units.

Trichostasis spinulosa arising within syringoma.

A forty-eight-year-old man presented with multiple pinhead to rice-sized papules on the face. Histopathologic examination showed a typical syringoma and dilated hair follicles containing several vellus hairs in the middle of a fibrotic stroma. We discuss the possible pathomechanism between these two conditions in the same lesion.

Syringoma-like eccrine sweat duct proliferation induced by radiation.

We report a 45-year-old woman with breast cancer who had undergone surgery and radiation and anti-estrogen therapy and presented with many reddish papules in the irradiated breast area. Skin biopsy of the affected area disclosed proliferation of eccrine sweat ducts and cystic structures; the clinical and histopathological features were consistent with syringoma-like eccrine sweat duct proliferation. The lesions spread rapidly on her chest during radiation therapy and regressed spontaneously 3 weeks after its completion. We postulate that the lesions were induced by radiation, and promoted by anti-estrogen therapy.

Syringoma of the vulva. A case report.

Syringoma of the vulva, especially as the multiple form, is a rare disorder. A review of the diagnoses in 4,500 patients from the Vulvar Clinic, Hospital de Clínicas José de San Martín, First Chair of Gynecology, Buenos Aires University, revealed only three cases, two of which were asymptomatic. The third patient, with multiple lesions and severe discomfort, is presented. With cryotherapy the lesions healed, and the patient was asymptomatic even during warm weather.

Solitary syringoma. Report of five cases and clinicopathologic comparison with microcystic adnexal carcinoma of the skin.

Five cases of solitary syringoma (SS) were found by the authors in a search of adnexal neoplasms seen over an 18-year period. These tumors all occurred in adults as mobile, flesh-colored, circumscribed papules of the facial skin, measuring < or = 5 mm in greatest dimension. Each was cured by simple punch or shave biopsy excision. Comparison with nine histologically similar variants of microcystic adnexal carcinoma (MAC) showed that the latter lesions differed from SS in that they showed much deeper invasion, with regular involvement of the underlying subcutis and perineural or vascular-adventitial infiltration. Moreover, SS was wider than it was deep on microscopic examination, whereas the converse pertained to MAC. Knowledge of the typical clinicopathologic attributes of these two tumor types should prevent clinicians and pathologists from confusing them with each other.

Chondroid syringoma of the eyelid.

An 81-year-old man underwent excisional biopsy of a big cylindric painless mass of the right lower eyelid, which had been present for over 23 years. Histopathologic and immuno-histochemical examination showed a chondroid syringoma, an uncommon benign neoplasm of possible eccrine sweat gland origin, which occurs generally in the head and neck skin. In the eyelids, it has been previously described as a small nodule in the upper lid. Surgical excision of these tumours is recommendable because malignant transformation is possible, although rare.

Unilateral linear nevoidal syringoma.

We here report the unusual occurrence of syringoma in a unilateral linear nevoid distribution in a 32-year-old woman. The papules were located on the right side of the chest and right arm. These lesions need to be distinguished from other linear papular eruptions.

Chondroid syringoma.

The patient reported in this paper presented with a painless, rapidly growing lump in the cheek. It was excised and histology showed that this was a chrondriod syringoma which is a benign tumour of the skin appendages.

Chondroid syringoma of the nose: report of a case.

Chondroid syringoma or mixed tumour of the skin is a rare benign tumour which can present on the face. We present here the case of a patient who underwent an excisional biopsy of a small painless nodule in the soft triangle of the nose for cosmetic reasons. The clinical presentation, histology and treatment, with review of the relevant literature, is discussed.

Malignant chondroid syringoma of the skin: magnetic resonance imaging features.

Skin tumours are usually divided into melanoma and non-melanoma types. Malignancies of the adnexal structures, of which sweat gland tumours are an example, are characterized under the non-melanoma types. Sweat gland malignancies are rare tumours that are usually associated with a poor prognosis. Given the rarity of these tumours, MRI findings of such tumours have not been described previously in the literature. We present a case report of an unusual malignant tumour of sweat gland origin known as a malignant chondroid syringoma of the skin with described MRI features. The MRI features are non-specific depicting intermediate signal intensity, changes on the proton density sequence and increased signal on the T2 and STIR-weighted sequences. Although these imaging features are characteristic of most soft tissue masses MRI can, in most cases, accurately depict the anatomic extent and identify tissue of origin, depth of invasion and relation to adjacent structures, such as muscles and bones. Thus high-resolution MRI of the skin in the future can be extremely helpful in characterizing and staging dermal neoplasms.
