Abstract
-
BACKGROUND: Various eccrine tumors are rather common diseases in clinicians. However, data on the clinicopathologic features of eccrine tumors in Korea are limited.
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinicopathologic characteristics of eccrine tumors in Korea.
METHODS
Two hundred and sixty five cases of eccrine tumors, seen from 2002 to 2004 in Korea, were retrospectively analyzed clinically and histopathologically.
RESULTS
The most common eccrine tumors identified within Koreans were syringoma (61%), followed by eccrine poroma (13%), eccrine hidrocystoma (9%), and nodular hidradenoma (6%). Moreover, eccrine tumors were usually found to occur in middle-aged woman as multiple asymptomatic skin-colored papules. The most common site of occurrence was the face (45%), followed by the neck (9%), scalp (5%), foot (5%), abdomen (4%), and vulvar (3%).
CONCLUSION
The results of this study will be useful and fundamental data on eccrine tumors for clinicians and pathologists.
