Abstract
Introduction. Adenolipoma of the skin is an unusual microscopic varian t of the solitary lipoma, superposable to the adenolipoma of the breas t, characterized by the presence of normal eccrine sweat glands inside the fat proliferation. Observations. Two new cases are reported. Disc ussion. Adenolipoma of the skin is a benign lesion whose clinical feat ures are similar to those of solitary lipoma. Probably, it is only a h istological curiosity in which the eccrine glands are entrapped and ca rried by the adipose proliferation.
