Agree. Nodular hidradenoma with (not uncommon) incidental sebaceous differentiation.
The last image shows nice examples of longitudinal nuclear grooving.

Okay that was also my first impression but not my final diagnosis.

Dr. Richard
Did you call this neoplasm a sebaceoma based on the signs of sebaceous differentiation and the focal presence of a rippled pattern? And the nuclear and cytoplasmic features more in keeping with an hidradenoma?

Yes Romualdo the rippled pattern and basaloid areas won! So I ended up calling this a sebaceoma. I could not identify any glands or ducts at all on immunostains but I agree this lesion has many features in keeping with hidradenoma especially the central amorphous stroma and paler central areas with coffee bean nuclei highly suggestive of hidradenoma. Mis-match repair loss would have been helpful but I think we had technical difficulties with them on this case. Anyway I suggested consideration of Muir Torre. May be a unique tumour?

As I was seeing the images in the morning, my first impression was sebaceoma based on the rippled pattern and the basaloid areas with sebocytes, until I reached the 5th and 7th images which puzzled me a lot and made me favor hidradenoma with seb differentiation,,, very nice case, glad that I have thought about it !!! .. May be if I saw the whole lesion, I would have been more confident in describing it as sebaceoma... Thank u Dr Carr:-))

[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]I make Mona's words my own. I even thought of a colision tumor. After all, the diagnosis brought by the last high-power pictures has prevailed.[/font]
