Hidradenoma(also known as acrospiroma, from ''akral "''peripheral"'' + spiroma "''epithelial tumor of sweat gland") refers to a benign adnexal tumor of the apical sweat gland. 〔 〕 It usually presents as a single, small skin-colored lesion, and is considered distinct from the closely related poroma. Hidradenomas are often sub-classified based on subtle histologic differences, for example: * clear-cell hidradenoma or acrospiroma * nodular hidradenoma or acrospiroma * solid-cystic hidradenoma Discussion of sweat gland tumors can be difficult and confusing due to the complex classification and redundant terminology used to describe the same tumors. For example, acrospiroma and hidradenoma are synonymous, and sometimes the term ''acrospiroma'' is used to generally describe benign sweat gland tumors. In addition, a single lesion may contain a mixture of cell-types.〔 There has also been a change in understanding about how tumors that were previously believed to strictly derive from specific sweat gland types may, in fact, derive from both eccrine ''or'' apocrine glands. Hidradenomas are by definition benign, with malignant transformation very rare. When tumors show malignant characteristics, they are known as hidradenocarcinoma. Surgical excision is usually curative and local recurrences are rare, although malignant tumors may metastasize.〔 == Additional images == File:SkinTumors-P7150488.JPG|Dermal duct tumor File:SkinTumors-P7240522.JPG|Acrospiroma, solid type File:SkinTumors-P8080553.JPG|Acrospiroma, clear cell type 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hidradenoma」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
