Abstract

Apocrine poroma is a benign cutaneous adnexal neoplasm differentiating in the direction of sebaceous and apocrine glands, and follicular germs. The clinical appearance of apocrine poroma is not distinctive, and the histologic finding is similar to that of eccrine poroma, which is typified by proliferation of poroid and luminal cells in continuity with the epidermis. But sebaceous, apocrine or follicular differentiation may also be found in the case of apocrine poroma. We herein report a case of apocrine poroma on the scalp. This case exhibited apocrine and sebaceous differentiation, and connection to an adjacent follicular epithelium.
