title: Tubular apocrine adenoma in association with syringocystadenoma papilliferum.
abstract: Tubular apocrine adenoma is a very rare sweat gland tumor. In this report, a case of tubular apocrine adenoma in association with syringocystadenoma papilliferum on the scalp is presented. The stroma of the tubular apocrine adenoma consisted of numerous, young fibroblasts with mitotic activity. It was difficult to distinguish stromal cells and epithelial cells from each other in some areas. The characteristics and differences in histopathologic and immunohistochemical findings in these tumors are described.
