Sweat gland tumors with stromal haemangiomatous component: an undescribed type of skin tumors. Report of four cases.
An undescribed type of skin tumour, discovered in four cases, is reported. It is characterized by sweat-gland tumours (benign or malignant), with a common stromal haemangiomatous component which confers to it a peculiar pattern. Histogenetic possibilities are discussed. A collision mechanism between a pre-existent hamartomatous component (haemangioma) and a recent sweat-gland growth may be responsible for the appearance of this type and we think that this picture is more frequent but unidentified because, to our knowledge, it was not described up to the present paper.
