Apocrine adenoma versus pocrine carcinoma. Report of two cases

J Am Acad Dermatol. 1980 Apr;2(4):322-6. doi: 10.1016/s0190-9622(80)80045-4.

Abstract

Two examples of apocrine neoplasm are presented, contrasting the features of an apocrine adenoma with those of a possible apocrine adenocarcinoma. Apocrine adenocarcinoma, distinct from Paget's disease, is a rare neoplasm. Its recognition is complicated by long periods of benign growth and by subtle histologic differences from apocrine adenoma.
