Abstract

ABSTRACTA tumor on the groin of a twentyseven year old woman was reported. It consisted of hamartomatous apocrine sweat structures, apocrine cystadenoma and adenoid basal cell epithelioma interconnected within a single connective tissue capsule. To our knowledge, this tumor is the first case of an apocrine tumor having this location and histology with each component representing differentiation of the duct and/or the secretory portion of the apocrine gland to differing degrees in a single lesion. It was hypothesized that the cystadenoma and the basal cell epithelioma had both originated from the latent apocrine hamartoma.
