Abstract

Syringocystadenoma papilliferum (SCAP) and tubular apocrine adenoma (TAA) are rare benign sweat gland tumors. SCAP and TAA may have a histopathologic overlap, but few cases of a SCAP combined with a TAA have been reported. Herein we describe an unusual case of a SCAP co-existing with a TAA located on the back of a 12-year-old girl.

Keywords: Back; Syringocystadenoma papilliferum; Tubular apocrine adenoma.
