SWEAT GLAND ADENOMA Meaning and Definition

  1. A sweat gland adenoma is a benign tumor that originates from the sweat glands of the skin. It is a rare condition characterized by the overgrowth of sweat gland cells in a localized area.

    Sweat glands are responsible for secreting sweat, which helps regulate body temperature. However, in the case of a sweat gland adenoma, there is an abnormal proliferation of sweat gland cells leading to the formation of a tumor.

    These growths typically appear as small, flesh-colored or pinkish nodules on the skin. Sweat gland adenomas are usually solitary, although rare cases of multiple adenomas have been reported. They can occur at any age but are more commonly seen in middle-aged and elderly individuals.

    While the exact cause of sweat gland adenomas is unknown, some studies suggest that hormonal imbalances and genetic factors may play a role in their development. These tumors are generally painless and slowly growing, with a diameter ranging from a few millimeters to a few centimeters. Rarely, they may cause discomfort or become ulcerated.

    Treatment for sweat gland adenomas usually involves surgical excision to remove the tumor completely. In most cases, the prognosis is excellent, with very low recurrence rates and no potential for malignant transformation. However, regular follow-ups are recommended to ensure proper monitoring and early detection of any potential complications.
