[Comparative morphological properties of different hepatoid glands: histological variants and the morphofunctional unit].

Three groups can be recognized in the type of hepatoid glands: glands synthesizing protein alone, glands synthesizing protein and hydrophobic lipids and/or melanin, and intermediate glands. Histological variants (seven in total) can be recognized within each group. Different possible combinations of hepatoid glands with other derivatives of hair follicles are considered. The first definition of the morphofunctional unit of the hepatoid land is proposed.
