Nodular Cystic Hidradenoma. There are some atypical features (bad delimitation and some infiltratives areas). But it seems total excised.

Two-cell type seen forming ducts and there are some solid and cystic regions. Stroma is myxohyaline. Second benign mixed tumour of skin.

Further observation: luminal lining shows apocrine changes, hobnail with abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm

Wonder how to differentiate in this case between apocrine cystadenoma and digital papillary adenocarcinoma, agree that those should be considered too.

Looking forward to the answer.

I would consider apocrine cystadenoma and low grade digital papillary adenocarcinoma. the distinction between the two on digits can be challenging- see reference below:

Given the location and the papillary features, I called this digital papillary adenocarcinoma.
