Hyaline Cell-Rich Apocrine Mixed Tumor with Cytologic Atypia

Hyaline cell-rich apocrine mixed tumor is relatively rare, and it often possesses atypical cells. Despite the presence of atypical cells, other histopathological features such as well circumscription, smooth border, predominance of bland cells, and no mitotic figures lead to classify these tumors as benign. In addition, no recurrence or metastasis has been reported even when cytologic atypia is identified. Here we report a case of hyaline cell-rich apocrine mixed tumor with cytologic atypia, which did not recur for 14 months after excision.Dermatopathology 2018;5:108 –112
