Congenital spiradenoma.
A case of an adenomatous sweat gland hamartoma present since birth is described. The histological and ultrastructural findings were similar to those of spiradenoma, and carcinoembryonic antigen, usually present in cutaneous sweat gland tumors, was also demonstrated. Sweat gland nevi are rare, and a spiradenomatous variant has not been previously documented.
