The age ranged from 20 to 84\u2009years with an average of 64\u2009years. They were long\u2010standing (duration 3\u201315\u2009years), slow\u2010growing, large tumors usually found on the scalp. Dermatoscopy accentuated translucent light to dark blue color and prominent vessels that were present more at the periphery. All lesions were multilocular with columnar to cuboidal lining and decapitation secretion. A large portion of the lesion consisted of a simple nonproliferative epithelial lining, identical to that observed in apocrine hidrocystomas, while the proliferative adenomatous component made up a smaller portion with two patterns: (1) tubular proliferation, which either protruded into the cystic cavity or expanded outward peripherally, or (2) papillary projections, which were multiple layers thick with fibrovascular core, sometimes accompanied by tubular proliferation. Immunohistochemical stains showed strong staining for p40 and a sparse number of cells stained for Ki\u201067 and p53.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The long duration of the lesion and the large areas of simple apocrine epithelial lining suggest that apocrine cystadenomas arise from long\u2010standing apocrine hidrocystomas. However, the retrospective nature of the study from a single institution is a limitation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/cup.14573","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,12]],"date-time":"2023-12-12T22:50:28Z","timestamp":1702421428000},"page":"251-257","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Apocrine
