Spiradenomas (SA) are rare, benign cutaneous adnexal tumors that may progress to become their malignant counterparts, i.e. spiradenocarcinomas (SAC). Cutaneous adnexal tumors are a group of skin tumors consisting of tissues that have differentiated (i.e. matured from stem cells) towards one of the four primary adnexal structures found in normal skin: hair follicles, sebaceous sweat glands ...
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition in which a person exhibits excessive sweating, [1] [2] more than is required for the regulation of body temperature. [3] Although it is primarily a physical burden, hyperhidrosis can deteriorate the quality of life of the people who are affected from a psychological, emotional, and social perspective. [4]
Pinealectomy is the surgical removal of the pineal gland, used often on birds to study circadian rhythms. Pneumonectomy is the surgical removal of a lung. Polypectomy is the surgical removal of an abnormal growth of tissue known as a polyp. Posthectomy, more commonly known as circumcision, is the surgical removal of the foreskin of the penis
Frey's syndrome (also known as Baillarger's syndrome, Dupuy's syndrome, auriculotemporal syndrome, [1] or Frey-Baillarger syndrome) is a rare neurological disorder resulting from damage to or near the parotid glands responsible for making saliva, and from damage to the auriculotemporal nerve often from surgery.
The eccrine sweat glands are distributed over much of the body and are responsible for secreting the watery, brackish sweat most often triggered by excessive body temperature. Apocrine sweat glands are restricted to the armpits and a few other areas of the body and produce an odorless, oily, opaque secretion which then gains its characteristic ...
A thermoregulatory sweat test can evaluate the body’s response to a thermal stimulus by inducing sweating through a hot box (also called a hot room), a thermal blanket, or physical exercise. Failure of the topical indicator to undergo a colour change during thermoregulatory sweat testing indicates hypohidrosis, and further tests may be ...
These sweat glands are in part activated by compounds called catecholamines, which are secreted in times of stress. From a dermatological standpoint, body odor isn’t an unhealthy thing, either ...
Adenolipomas are diagnosed by surgical resection and examining the tumor with a microscope. [5] The presence of eccrine sweat glands are used to distinguish the tumor from a common lipoma . Size and the development of the capsule (tissue surrounding the tumor) can also aid in diagnosis.
