Aggressive digital papillary adenoma (ADPA) and adenocarcinoma (ADPAca) are adnexal tumors that are not often recognized because of their rarity. We present a rare case of ADPAca involving the left middle finger of a 43-year-old man. Histopathological features of ADPAca are distinct from those of other eccrine sweat gland tumors; however, ADPAca may be misdiagnosed particularly for a metastasis of papillary adenocarcinoma originating in the colon, thyroid, or breast. Clinicopathological correlation is essential to ule out a possible risk of metastatic carcinoma of the skin. Recognition of these tumors is important because of a potential risk of local recurrence nd distant metastases. Aggressive surgical treatment consisting of digit amputation is advocated in the treatment of ADPAca. |
