| description | We present a case series of seven sweat gland tumours of the hand. The rarity of these lesions and, more importantly, the great difficulty in diagnosing such lesions on clinical examination is obvious in most of the literature. Our experience is similar, with only seven sweat gland tumours diagnosed out of a total of 1073 cases of tumours of the hand over 38 years at our private hand clinic. The details of these seven cases are outlined here, out of which only one tumour was malignant. Advances in histopathological examination, particularly in immunohistochemistry, play a significant role in the diagnosis of such tumours. Level of evidence: IV. |
