Abstract

Aggressive digital papillary adenoma is a rare neoplasm of eccrine sweat gland origin. We report a case of aggressive digital papillary adenoma of the fifth finger, together with a literature review.

Keywords: fifth finger, aggressive digital papillary adenoma

Figures and Tables

Figure 1

Ultrasonography shows the case of aggressive digital papillary adenoma of the fifth finger dorsum area. Well marginated cystic mass is attached at the 5th finger extensor tendon area.

Figure 2

Clinical photographs. (A) Tumor in the left fifth finger of the patient. (B) Intra-operative view of the cystic mass. (C) Photograph after excision of the mass.

Figure 3

Microscopic findings of dermal nodule show cystic tumor with papillary projections (H&E stain; A: ×100, B: ×200).
