Papillary eccrine adenoma (also known as "tubular apocrine adenoma") is a cutaneous condition characterized by an uncommon benign sweat gland neoplasm that presents as a dermal nodule located primarily on the extremities of black patients.

A folliculosebaceous-apocrine hamartoma, also known as "follicular-apocrine hamartoma", is a benign proliferation of the folliculosebaceous-apocrine unit.

Hidrocystoma (also known as cystadenoma, a Moll's gland cyst, and a sudoriferous cyst) is an adenoma of the sweat glands.

Hidrocystomas are cysts of sweat ducts, usually on the eyelids. They are not tumours (a similar-sounding lesion called hidroadenoma is a benign tumour).

There are three types of "sweat" glands: True sweat glands or eccrine glands;

sebaceous glands, which have an oily secretion around hair follicles; and apocrine glands which have more oily product than eccrine glands and are found on the face, armpit, and groin.

Hidrocystomas usually arise from apocrine glands. They are also called Cysts of Moll or sudoriferous cysts. There may be a type of hidroadenoma that arises from eccrine glands, but these are uncommon.

Other related conditions on the eyelids include chalazion ( a granulomatous reaction to sebaceous glands on the eyelid), lacrimal duct cysts (cysts related to tear ducts) and nasolacrimal duct cysts (the nasolacrimal duct drains tears into the nose via a punctum on the lower eyelid).

Mucinous nevus (also known as "Nevus mucinosus") is a rare cutaneous condition characterized by hamartoma that can be congenital or acquired.

Folliculosebaceous cystic hamartoma abbreviated as (FSCH) is a rare cutaneous hamartoma consisting of dilated folliculosebaceous units invested in mesenchymal elements. it typically affects adults, have a predilection for the central face or scalp, with less than 1.5 cm dimension. Clinically, the lesions are asymptomatic, rubbery to firm in consistency, and usually occur on or above the neck in (> 90%) of cases, Histopathologically, FSCH shares several similar features to sebaceous trichofolliculoma, but it is usually possible to differentiate these two tumors.

A poroma is a benign skin tumor derived from sweat glands. Although the original term "poroma "was initially used to describe a tumor derived from the ductal epithelium of eccrine sweat glands, the term is used in general reference to tumors derived from ductal portions of both eccrine and apocrine sweat glands. Specific sub-types are primarily defined by location of tumor, and include:

- eccrine poroma

- hidroacanthoma simplex (intraepithelial poroma)

- dermal duct tumor (intradermal poroma)

- syringoacanthoma

- syringofibroadenoma

- poroid hidradenoma ("disputed as different family")

A basaloid follicular hamartoma is a cutaneous condition characterized as distinctive benign adnexal tumor that has several described variants.

Spiradenoma, also spiroma or eccrine spiradenoma, is a cutaneous condition that is typically characterized, clinically, as a solitary, deep-seated dermal nodule of approximately one centimeter, occurring on the ventral surface of the body. Spiradenoma lesions are benign sudoriferous tumors, and have also been described as cystic epitheliomas of the sweat glands.

The histological origin is controversial.

Additional types of nevi do not involve disorders of pigmentation or melanocytes. These additional nevi represent hamartomatous proliferations of the epithelium, connective tissue, and vascular malformations.

In dermatologic pathology, a dermal cylindroma, also dermal eccrine cylindroma or Cutaneous Cylindroma) and (less specifically) cylindroma, is a benign adnexal tumor, which occurs on the scalp and forehead.when multiple Cylindroma-Show Hat like configration.

Multiple cylindromas may grow together in a "hat-like" configuration, sometimes referred to as a turban tumor. Cylindromas are uncommon dysplasias of skin appendages.

The term "nevus" is applied to a number of conditions caused by neoplasias and hyperplasias of melanocytes, as well as a number of pigmentation disorders, both hypermelanotic (containing increased melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color) and hypomelanotic (containing decreased melanin).

Local gigantism or localised gigantism is a condition in which a certain part of the body acquires larger than normal size due to excessive growth of the anatomical structures or abnormal accumulation of substances. It is more common in fingers and toes, where it is termed macrodactyly. However, sometimes an entire limb may be enlarged.

Syringomas are harmless eccrine sweat duct tumors, typically found clustered on eyelids, although they may also be found in the armpits, abdomen, chest, neck, scalp or groin area including genitals in a symmetric pattern. They are skin-colored or yellowish firm, rounded bumps, 1–3 mm in diameter, and may be confused with xanthoma, milia, hidrocystoma, trichoepithelioma, and xanthelasma. They are more common in women and are most commonly found in middle-aged Asian women. While they can present at any time in life, they typically present during adolescence. They are usually not associated with any other symptoms although can sometimes cause itchiness or irritation.

A variant of eccrine spiradenoma which can be multiple on the scalp and can coalesce to form a 'Turban' tumour. In pathology, a cylindroma is a tumour with nests of cells that resemble a cylinder in cross section.

Types include:

- Dermal eccrine cylindroma, a benign tumour of the skin

- Adenoid cystic carcinoma, a malignant tumour of the salivary gland

Local gigantism may be caused by a heterogeneous group of both congenital and acquired conditions.

Congenital smooth muscle hamartoma is typically a skin colored or lightly pigmented patch or plaque with hypertrichosis.

Dermal cylindromas are:

- dermal lesions consisting of nests of cells that are surrounded by hyaline (i.e. glassy, eosinophilic, acellular) material and have:

- hyperchromatic nuclei that may palisade (columnar nuclei arranged around the periphery of the cells nests - with their short axis tangential to the nest periphery), and

- cells with lighter staining ovoid nuclei at their centre.

They lack of a significant number of lymphocytes; this differentiates them from spiradenomas.

Hair follicle nevus (also known as a "Vellus hamartoma") is a cutaneous condition that presents as a small papule from which fine hairs protrude evenly from the surface.

An eccrine poroma specifically refers to a tumor derived specifically from the most apical portion of eccrine sweat gland ("acrosyringium"). They are most commonly found on acral distribution (on palms & soles), and most commonly in adults. They are described as <1–2 cm pink/red shiny, exophytic lesions that can be pigmented and are clinically very similar to pyogenic granulomas. Histologically, the cells as PAS-positive and clearly surrounded by normal keratinocytes. These tumors are surgically excised usually without complication or recurrence, although malignant porocarcinomas can recur and metastasize to local lymph nodes.

Syringofibroadenoma (also known as "acrosyringeal nevus of Weedon and Lewis") is a cutaneous condition characterized by a hyperkeratotic nodule or plaque involving the extremities.

It is considered of eccrine origin.

Eccrine angiomatous hamartoma usually appear as a solitary nodular lesion on the acral areas of the extremities, particularly the palms and soles.

Fibrous hamartoma of infancy is a rapidly growing, painless, ill-defined subcutaneous or intradermal nodule that is generally solitary and less than 5 cm in size, though, rarely, multiple lesions occur synchronously.

By 1999, there were 12 reported cases.

The majority of patients are less than 2 years old, with 25% of cases being congenital. Possible locations include the trunk and limbs; usually the upper arm or shoulder. Local excision is the treatment of choice, but it may recur locally.

The most common hamartomas occur in the lungs. About 5–8% of all solitary lung nodules, about 75% of all benign lung tumors, are hamartomas. They almost always arise from connective tissue and are generally formed of cartilage, connective tissue, and fat cells, although they may include many other types of cells. The great majority of them form in the connective tissue on the outside of the lungs, although about 10% form deep in the linings of the bronchi. They can be worrisome, especially if situated deep in the lung, as it is sometimes difficult to make the important distinction between a hamartoma and a lung malignancy. An X-ray will often not provide a definitive diagnosis, and even a CT scan may be insufficient if the hamartoma lacks the typical cartilage and fat cells. Lung hamartomas may have popcorn-like calcifications on chest xray or computed tomography (CT scan).

Lung hamartomas are more common in men than in women, and may present additional difficulties in smokers.

Some lung hamartomas can compress surrounding lung tissue to a degree, but this is generally not debilitating and is often asymptomatic, especially for the more common peripheral growths. They are treated, if at all, by surgical resection, with an excellent prognosis: generally, the only real danger is the inherent possibility of surgical complications.

One of the most troublesome hamartomas occurs on the hypothalamus. Unlike most such growths, a hypothalamic hamartoma is symptomatic; it most often causes gelastic seizures, and can cause visual problems, other seizures, rage disorders associated with hypothalamic diseases, and early onset of puberty. The symptoms typically begin in early infancy and are progressive, often into general cognitive and/or functional disability. Moreover, resection is usually difficult, as the growths are generally adjacent to, or even intertwined with, the optic nerve. Symptoms tend to be resistant to medical control; however, surgical techniques are improving and can result in immense improvement of prognosis.

Choristomas, forms of heterotopia, are closely related benign tumors, found in abnormal locations.

It is different from hamartoma. The two can be differentiated as follows: a hamartoma is disorganized overgrowth of tissues in their normal location, (eg, Peutz-Jeghers polyps) while a choristoma is normal tissue growth in an abnormal location (e.g., gastric tissue located in distal ileum in Meckel diverticulum).
