INTRODUCTION: Eccrine spiradenoma (ES) is a rare benign cutaneous adnexal tumor. The aim of our study was to discuss the clinical presentation, cytomorphologic features, and differential diagnosis of a series of 3 cases of ES diagnosed by fine needle aspiration (FNA).
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The pathology databases were searched for cases of ES diagnosed by FNA and confirmed by follow-up surgical excision. FNA smears, cell blocks, and histologic sections were examined.
RESULTS: Three cases of ES that had presented as a soft tissue mass from 3 patients were reviewed. The sites included the left forearm, left leg, and left ankle. Cytology smears showed the presence of hypercellular 3-dimensional dense cell clusters and smaller loose cell aggregates, single cells, and bare nuclei. Most cells had round to oval nuclei, scant cytoplasm, and indistinct cell borders. A second population of cells had more spindled nuclei and were often dispersed as single cells. Scattered lymphocytes were present. Two cases showed the presence of pseudo-rosettes composed of hyaline globules of basement membrane-like material with a surrounding row of basaloid cells. None of the cases showed cytologic atypia, necrosis, or mitoses. Immunohistochemistry was used in 2 cases and showed positive staining with myoepithelial markers (smooth muscle actin, calponin, S100, and CK5). The cytology diagnoses were ES, basaloid cutaneous adnexal neoplasm, and suspicious for ES.
CONCLUSIONS: FNA cytopathology of ES demonstrated banal basaloid and spindle cells, lymphocytes, and infrequent metachromatic-stained hyaline globules. A specific diagnosis requires immunohistochemistry testing to avoid confusion with other cutaneous basaloid neoplasms.
