Apocrine hidrocystoma with mucinous metaplasia.
Hidrocystoma is a rare cystic lesion arising from the sweat glands, and is classified into apocrine and eccrine variants, with the majority being of apocrine nature [1]. It is usually found in the head and neck region, and commonly affects the periorbital area [1, 2]. Apocrine hidrocystoma is characterized histopathologically by the presence of a unilocular or multilocular cyst situated in the ...
متن کاملImmunohistochemical localisation of androgen receptor in apocrine metaplasia and apocrine adenosis of the breast: relation to oestrogen and progesterone receptors.
AIM To investigate the receptor status of the sex steroid hormones in apocrine metaplasia of the breast. METHODS 82 cases of apocrine metaplasia, including 18 of the rare lesion apocrine adenosis, were studied immunohistochemically for the expression of androgen receptor, oestrogen receptor, and progesterone receptor proteins on formalin fixed, paraffin embedded tissue sections. The standard ...
متن کاملApocrine metaplasia: a new type of müllerian metaplasia.
Apocrine differentiation was an incidental finding in an ovarian cyst. This is considered to be a further example of Müllerian metaplasia that has not been described before and which, theoretically, could occur in any organ of Müllerian derivation (ovary, uterus, cervix or fallopian tube). It is suggested that sites of such metaplasia could in turn be the origin of primary apocrine carcinoma in...
متن کاملSplenectomy in agnogenic myeloid metaplasia: factors of possible prognostic significance.
The available data of 338 cases of splenectomy in agnogenic myeloid metaplasia published since 1940 were retrieved from the literature and analysed. Postoperative survival was significantly shorter in patients with anaemia, massive splenomegaly or elevated serum alkaline phosphatase. Younger age or normal platelet counts were associated with a longer postoperative survival than that in older pa...
