Gene expression profiling in aggressive digital papillary adenocarcinoma sheds light on the architecture of a rare sweat gland carcinoma

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Sweat gland carcinomas are rare cutaneous adnexal malignancies. Aggressive digital papillary adenocarcinoma (ADPA) represents a very rare subentity, thought to arise almost exclusively from the sweat glands of the fingers and toes. The aetiology of sweat gland carcinomas and ADPA is largely unknown. ADPAs are most likely driven by somatic mutations. However, somatic mutation patterns are largely...
