Apatenko Syringoepithelioma

Syringoepitheliomas are the most common tumors of the epithelial tissues of the skin and appendages. They are malignant neoplasms of mesenchymal origin (that is, they are not an epithelial tumor). There are also syringofibrosarcomas, these include tumors of mesenchymal origin and more malignant ones. They can be classified as a single group, but the distribution and symptoms differ.

In order to describe all the details, you need to turn to the pathomorphology of syringoepithelioma. A.K. Apatenko says that this is a rounded neoplasm, a characteristic feature is the characteristic color of white skin, and is distinguished by a large structure. Between the skin and the syrinx capsule there is a connective tissue layer that forms a gland several millimeters in size. Its excretory duct is located inside the entire gland and goes out. The new growth is visualized from above, and its shape resembles a vertical barrel-shaped structure, the top of which is slightly elongated. Contents in the form of a clear or jelly-like liquid begin to emerge from the upper parts of the tumor along the grooves; it flows out between the fingers. Depending on the level of cavity formation, the gland may be blind or open to the upper layers of the skin. The consistency of the liquid may also be jelly-like or watery. Large syringopithecus contain denser contents. The gland is usually located towards and above the skin, but can also be found in the peripeduncular spaces.

Signs and manifestations of syringopiasis include: thickening of the skin, due to which the relief is noticeably leveled, expansion and stretching of the skin is noted; upon palpation, a dense and motionless consistency. Skin areas are normal in temperature, and decreased tissue density and density are common symptoms in the early stages. If the tumor is quite large in size, then the presence of hyperemia and accumulation of lymphoid cells in the subcutaneous layers can be noted. Damage to the sebaceous and sweat glands, pigment formations, metastasis to the lymph nodes, and the presence of cystic cavities are noted. On palpation, mobility and density without pain are noted.
