Benign eccrine spiradenoma imitating a nerve sheath tumor: illustrative case
BACKGROUND: Benign eccrine spiradenoma is a rare tumor arising from the sweat glands and is a pathology that is almost never encountered in routine neurosurgical practice. Although this is a rare pathology, it is one that should be included in the differential diagnosis for a patient presenting with...

description | BACKGROUND: Benign eccrine spiradenoma is a rare tumor arising from the sweat glands and is a pathology that is almost never encountered in routine neurosurgical practice. Although this is a rare pathology, it is one that should be included in the differential diagnosis for a patient presenting with a painful, subcutaneous mass, because it can guide further treatment considerations. OBSERVATIONS: The authors present a case of benign eccrine spiradenoma that mimicked a nerve sheath tumor in clinical presentation, imaging characteristics, and gross appearance. LESSONS: Complete local excision of these lesions is the gold standard treatment, because they are painful, and there are reports of local recurrence and malignant degeneration with incomplete resection. For this reason, neurosurgeons should be sure to include this in the differential diagnosis of a patient with a painful, subcutaneous mass, because it may help to guide management decisions. |
