This paper deals with five tumors thought to be related to the eccrine sweat pore inasmuch as they have histologic features of the intraepidermal part of the sweat duct. As they also present certain clinical similarities, it was considered justifiable to report them as a group. Evidence concerning the intraepidermal portion of the eccrine duct was presented in 1939 by one of us (Pinkus1) to the effect that the duct has its own wall up to the very surface and constitutes a morphologic and biologic entity which plays a role
