Multiple eccrine hidrocytomas on the right nostril

A hidrocytoma ( English hydrocytoma ; ICD-O 8404/0), also hidrocystoma , is a benign new tissue formation ( neoplasia ) belonging to the adenoma family . These are cystic papules of the sweat gland duct (retention cysts).

Depending on which sweat gland is affected, a distinction is made between eccrine hidrocytoma (also called sweat gland retention cyst ) or apocrine hidrocytoma (also called apocrine cystadenoma ). This division is indeed disproved by recent immunohistochemical studies, as some eccrine Hidrozystome apocrine antigens express , but for historical reasons still valid.

Description and diagnosis

Hidrocytomas are characterized by translucent bluish nodules that usually appear individually (solitary). The blue color is created by the Tyndall effect . Histopathologically , one can recognize unilocular or multilocular cystic areas within the dermis . Multiple Hidrozytome occur when scooping-Schulz Pass Argentina's syndrome , a rare autosomal - recessive genodermatosis on.

Eccrine hidrocytomas are often localized on the eyelids or cheeks .

therapy

The removal of a hidrocytoma may be indicated for cosmetic reasons or in the case of functionally disruptive cysts. Various forms of treatment for hidrocytoma have been described. In addition to simple excision , these are high-frequency surgery , irradiation with infrared lasers ( CO ₂ laser or 1450 nanometer diode laser ) and trichloroacetic acid .
