Apocrine cystomatosis is a rare condition characterized by clusters of cystically dilated sweat glands or other specialized apocrine glands. Cystic dilation of cutaneous sweat glands has been described in humans, dogs, and cats, but not in pigs, to our knowledge. We describe herein linear, brown, colloid-filled cavities < 1 cm diameter within the subcutaneous fat of the entire dorsal region of carcasses of three 6-mo-old pigs. These incidental findings were detected during meat inspection in 3 different slaughterhouses in Catalonia, Spain. Histopathology revealed multiple cystic cavities lined by flattened glandular epithelium, filled with proteinaceous material, and corresponding to cystic hyperplasia of sweat glands.

Abstract: Apocrine gland is one of the sweat glands in humans. This gland is considered as a gland that causes odor. Primary abnormalities in the apocrine glands are bromhidrosis and chromhidrosis. Bromhidrosis is a state of abnormal or offensive body odor due to the secretion of apocrine sweat glands lies in the armpit, scalp, soles of the feet, fingers, and genital. Chromhidrois is a fairly rare condition, characterized by the secretion of colored sweat from the pigmented apocrine glands that usually present in the armpits and face. In general, management of bromhidrosis and chromhidrosis including non-medicamentous, medica-mentous, and surgery shows satisfying result.Keywords: apocrine bromhidrosis and apocrine chromhidrosisAbstrak: Kelenjar apokrin merupakan salah satu kelenjar keringat pada manusia, dan kelenjar ini dianggap sebagai kelenjar yang menyebabkan bau badan. Kelainan primer pada kelenjar apokrin yaitu apokrin bromhidrosis dan apokrin kromhidrosis. Bromhidrosis adalah keadaan bau badan seseorang yang berlebihan dari normal akibat sekresi kelenjar keringat apokrin yang terletak di ketiak, kulit kepala, telapak kaki, sela-sela jari, dan genital. Kromhidrohis merupakan keadaan yang cukup jarang ditemukan, ditandai dengan sekresi keringat dari kelenjar apokrin yang berwarna, biasanya terdapat pada ketiak dan wajah. Secara umum penatalaksanaan bromhidrosis dan apokrin kromhidrosis meliputi nonmedikamentosa, medikamentosa, dan pembedahan memperlihatkan hasil yang memuaskan.Kata kunci: apokrin bromhidrosis, apokrin kromhidrosis

An apocrine hidrocystoma occurring on the finger of a 55-year-old man is reported. The lesion presented as a solitary, painless cystic nodule on the dorsal aspect of the middle phalanx of the index finger. Apocrine hidrocystoma is a benign tumour developed from apocrine sweat glands, but the location of the lesion was, however, not consistent with reported locations of apocrine glands in the adult.

This preliminarily study was made to examine the differences in sweat excretions from human eccrine and apocrine sweat glands in dynamic exercise and heat conditions. Sweat samples were collected from six young males while they were either running on a treadmill or sitting in a sauna cabinet. Sweat samples of at least 5 mL from the eccrine (upper−back) and apocrine (armpit) sweat glands were collected during a 20−min running (or inactive overheating) period. The samples were then analyzed for urea, uric acid, and electrolyte (Na+, Cl−, and K+) excretions. The results from a two−way repeated−measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed that the secretions of urea and K+ were significantly higher during running than during inactive overheating for both glands, as were Na+ secretions for the apocrine glands (all P < 0.05). Under the same sweating conditions, urea and K+ excretions from the apocrine glands were also higher than those from the eccrine glands (all P < 0.05). Significant differences were observed between the Na+ secretions of the apocrine and eccrine glands under the running condition. The effects of various sweating methods and sweat glands on Cl− secretions were nonsignificant, and little uric acid was excreted. A higher urea excretion level during running rather than in hot conditions could be attributed to an elevated metabolic rate.

The sweat glands are important in thermoregulation of cattle in a warm environment as they help dissipate heat through evaporation. Studies on gland histology are important to define its secretion potential and the capacity of perspiration and heat removal. The objective of this study was to determine, by histomorphometry, glandular epithelium height, the depth of the gland, length of the glandular portion and number of glands per cm2 of the sweat glands of the three age groups of Nellore cattle. Thirty females were used in this study. They were equally divided into calves, heifers and cows. Histological sections were obtained and analyzed by digital images in Trinocular BX40 Olympus microscope coupled to an Oly - 200 camera, connected to a computer. The images were obtained with microscope with 2x, 4x, 10x and 40x magnification objectives. The measurements were performed using HL Image 97 program. The height of glandular epithelium, depth of the glands, length and density of the glandular portion per cm2 , were all analyzed. The calves showed greater height of the glandular epithelium than heifers (P = 0.0024), and cows (P = 0.0191). The depth of the gland was not influenced by age. Cows had higher length of secretory portion than heifers (P = 0.0379) and calves (P = 0.0077). Heifers had a greater number of sweat glands per cm2 of skin than cows (P = 0.023). In cattle, the height of glandular epithelium and the density decreases as animals get older. On the other hand, the length of the secretor portion increases but with no changes in the depth of the sweat glands

AbstractSubcutaneous sarcoidosis (SS) is an unusual and specific subtype of nodular sarcoidosis 1. The presence of SS with no elements of systemic manifestations is a rare condition: it is reported only in 1.4% to 6% of patients with systemic sarcoidosis, with the trunk being the most predilected area. Such cases with rare presentation are challenging for physicians because it can mimic several chronic infections, amyloidosis, hypothyroidism, lysosomal storage diseases and other conditions. Typical imaging (specially bilateral hilar adenopathies), histological exam and laboratory findings are the baseline to establish the diagnosis of sarcoidosis. In our case, the presence of subcutaneous manifestations avoided the performance of invasive procedures to get confirmation from other target organs: The epithelioid cells granulommas in subcutaneous fat and the representative radiological images were enough features to make the certain diagnosis. The first-line therapy for SS is oral steroids (20–40 mgr/day) with responses observed only 4–8 weeks after initiation of the treatment2. Prognosis of SS is good with spontaneous remission in some cases; however, when granulommas or fibrosis involves vital organs sarcoidosis can be life-threatening. Physicians should consider diagnosis of SS in patients with clinical suspicious history as sometimes skin manifestations are the first sign of systemic presentation of disease

Fox-Fordyce Disease (FFD) is a rare, chronic, pruritic, inflammatory disorder of apocrine glands. It is characterized by dome-shaped, firm, discrete, skin-colored, and monomorphic perifollicular papules. The most common sites of involvement are axillae and anogenital and periareolar regions which are rich in apocrine sweat glands. Treatment is difficult. Topical, intralesional steroids, topical tretinoin, adapalene, clindamycin, benzoyl peroxide, oral contraceptives, isotretinoin, phototherapy, electrocauterisation, excision-liposuction and curettage, and fractional carbon dioxide laser are among the treatment options. In the literature, there are articles reporting beneficial effects of pimecrolimus in FFD. Nevertheless, there have not been any reports about the use of tacrolimus in FFD. We report two patients diagnosed with FFD by clinical and histopathologic examination and discussed therapeutic effects of topical tacrolimus on FFD in the light of literature.

While dental pulp calcifications and root anomalies may be inconsequential incidental findings in dental radiographs, they can, especially in combination, represent a clue, hidden in plain sight, for the diagnosis of hyperphosphatemic familial tumoral calcinosis (HFTC). HFTC is an autosomal recessive disease of mineral metabolism characterized by sometimes massive, painful calcification around large joints, systemic inflammation, dental pulp calcification, and thistle-shaped roots. This paper describes a woman with HFTC who endured not only the symptoms of HFTC for decades, but also the frustration of not knowing the cause. The diagnosis was finally made at the age of 73 years, when the connection between a large right shoulder calcification and hyperphosphatemia was made. The dental findings were likely present on her initial radiographs taken in childhood. Increased awareness of the association between characteristic dental findings and HFTC may allow for earlier diagnosis and interventions to improve the care of patients with this rare condition.

Introduction: Verneuil disease, or perianal hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), is a chronic suppurative disease with a tendency to develop sinus formation, fibrosis, and sclerosis, having a great impact on quality of life. HS affect the apocrine sweat glands or sebaceous glands and may arise in each of the regions where the apocrine glands are prominent: the axilla, breast aureole, umbilicus, perineum, groin, and buttocks. We present here moderate and extensive HS cases, with their respective treatment methods and outcomes. Methods: A retrospective re-view of 6 patients? medical records from January 2001 to December 2010. Results: The 6 patients underwent treatment for HS in the gluteal and perianal regions with surgical excision. Five of the patients were male (83%). The median age was 42.5 years. We performed a total of 8 operations on these patients. In 3 patients, the wound was left open for secondary healing, and the mean time for complete wound healing was 11.3 weeks (range: 9.5-19 weeks). Delayed skin grafting was used for 2 patients in whom the wounds had been left open after the first operation. In this group, complete wound healing took 2 months in total. One patient underwent primary wound closure using rotation flaps, with a complete healing time of 2 weeks. Successful treatment without recurrence was accomplished in 5 (83.3%) of the patients. Conclusion: The conservative treatment methods had little effect, particularly on gluteal and perianal/perineal HS. The only successful treatment was wide surgical excision. Management of the wound after wide excision should be tailored to the individual patient.
