I see the nests of neoplastic cells within an acanthotic epidermis, so I would call this lesion hidroacanthoma simplex. To call a lesion poroma I would like to see it at a lower level within the dermis, although extensively conected to the epidermis.

Romualdo, as far as I understand an intraepidermal eccrine poroma = hidroacanthoma simplex. It is the same thing is it not?

Lesion of poroma group combining patterns of hidroacanthoma simplex (Borst-Jadassohn-like intraepidermal aggregates in picture #1) and classic poroma (interconnected aggregates in picture #2).

Yes, hidroacanthoma simplex is an intraepidermal variant of poroma. As we all know, three variants of poroma exist: hidroacanhoma simplex, eccrine poroma or simply poroma, the dermal-epidermal form, and dermal duct tumor (Winkelman-Mc Leod), the dermal variant. As pathologists, we try to be the more specific as we can, so I think this tumor fits more with hidroacanthoma simplex.

I will add pigmented clonal seborrheic keratosis to the differential. A CEA stain showing positive staining of the small and large lumenal spaces would confirm it being a poroma.
