Tumors of sweat gland origin are rare in the hand but should be considered in the differential diagnosis when certain imaging features are present. We present a case of nodular hidradenoma of the hand, with previously unreported magnetic resonance imaging features, and a further case in the thigh, both with ultrasound and histopathological correlation. The imaging literature of this tumor is reviewed, and its significance is discussed with respect to the current understanding of its malignant potential.
起源于汗腺的肿瘤在手部较为罕见,但当出现某些影像学特征时,应在鉴别诊断中予以考虑。我们报告一例手部结节性汗腺瘤,具有此前未报道过的磁共振成像特征,以及另一例大腿部的病例,两例均有超声及组织病理学对照。本文回顾了该肿瘤的影像学文献,并就目前对其恶性潜能的认识探讨了其意义。
