Eccrine spiradenoma, also spiradenoma,[1] is (usually) a benign, painful skin thingy. There is case series of malignant ones.[2]
General
- One of the ANGEL tumours:
- A painful skin lesion.
- Many of these tumours have a prominent vascular component (think of blood vessels throbbing).
- Benign.
- Usually solitary, circumscribed and dermal.
- Most common on the head.
- Multiple lesions, early in life suggest a genetic syndrome.
- Brooke-Spiegler syndrome - spiradenomas, cylindromas and trichoepitheliomas
- Generally considered to be an 'eccrine' tumor but some hypothesize a pilar origin [3]
Microscopic
- Dense nests of cells in the dermis; "dermal blue balls".
- Biphasic cell population:
- outer dark cells with small hyperchromatic nuclei and minimal cytoplasm.
- inner larger cells with vesicular nuclei and more cytoplasm.
- In some areas the two cell types mix together with dispersed hyaline droplets.
- Ductal differentiation.
- These cells form lobules that are surrounded by a hyaline or reticulin sheath.
- +/-Lymphocytes.
- Vascular component - large and small blood vessels.
DDx:
- Dermal cylindroma.
- These two tumors are very closely related and overlap.
- Many tumors have areas of both spiradenoma and cylindroma.
- The lobules of cylindroma are small
- more consistently discrete,
- show more a more consistent arrangement of the light and dark cells and are
- often surrounded by prominent hyaline material.
- Individual lobules of cylindroma fit together like pieces of a puzzle.
- Lobules of spiradenoma are larger
- may run together and fuse,
- may not have a prominent hyaline surround and
- may show more disorganization and mixing of the two cell types
- Trichoepithelioma.
- Trichoepithelioma will show
- attempts at hair bulbs,
- areas with more eosinophilic cytoplasm and
- characteristic peritumoral stroma
- Trichoepithelioma will show
- Glomus tumour, hemangioma or hemangiopericytoma (vascular spiradenomas).
- The location often speaks against glomus tumour.
- Basal cell carcinoma
- Spiradenoma is deeper, without connection to the epidermis
- Spiradenoma lacks clefting artefact.
- Spiradenoma lacks mitoses and prominent apoptosis.
- BCC lacks ducts
- BCC lobules lack a prominent surrounding hyaline membrane
- Lymphoid aggregate (spiradenoma will be cytokeratin positive)
