Abstract:
Aggressive digital papillary adenoma is a rare neoplasm of eccrine sweat gland origin. We report a case of aggressive digital papillary adenoma with literature reviews. Pathogenesis of this tumor is unclear but, according to his past history, possible induction by defoliants could not be ruled out. Several immunohistochemical studies were done to confirm tumoral origin and to evaluate histological potential of malignancy.
