  • Title: Clear-cell porocarcinoma in situ: a cytologic variant of porocarcinoma in situ.
    Author: Rutten A, Requena L, Requena C.
    Journal: Am J Dermatopathol; 2002 Feb; 24(1):67-71. PubMed ID: 11803286.
    Abstract:
    Poromas are benign neoplasms composed of poroid and cuticular cells. Four histopathologic variants of poromas are accepted, according to the architectural features of the neoplasm: hidroacanthoma simplex or intraepidermal poroma; eccrine poroma, which is a poroma connected to the epidermis that extends to superficial dermis; dermal duct tumor, which develops when the neoplasm is composed of small, solid aggregations of poroid and cuticular cells confined to the dermis with little or no connection with the epidermis; and poroid hidradenoma, which is a solid-cystic, dermal poroma. The malignant counterpart of hidroacanthoma simplex is named malignant hidroacanthoma simplex or porocarcinoma in situ. This report describes an example of clear-cell malignant hidroacanthoma simplex, a cytologic variant of porocarcinoma in situ, which, to our knowledge, has not been previously reported. In contrast with other clear-cell neoplasms, a relation with diabetes mellitus could not be clearly established in this case.
