Acrospiroma: a case report and review.
Acrospiromas are cutaneous tumors of sweat duct differentiation. They usually present as slowly enlarging 1 to 2 cm nodules in middle-aged or older adults without site predilection. On histologic examination they are multilobular dermal masses composed of a biphasic cell population. Acrospiromas are benign, and treatment consists of surgical excision.
