Abstract

Tubular apocrine adenoma(TAA) is a rare benign neoplasm usually found on the scalp. It has been designated as an apocrine histogenesis on the basis of its ultrastructural characteristics, enzyme, and immunohistochemical phenotype.
Histopathologically the neoplasm consists of tubules or cysts, which show signs of apocrine secretion and sometimes needs to be differentiated from papillary eccrine adenoma.
We report a typical case of TAA on nostril which shows differentiation toward apocrine in nature.

Keywords: Tubular apocrine adenoma, Nostril
