*A painful skin lesion.
*One of the [[ANGEL tumours]]:
**A [[painful skin lesion]].
**Many of these tumours have a prominent vascular component (think of blood vessels throbbing).
*Benign.
*Benign.
*Usually solitary, circumscribed and dermal.
*Most common on the head.
*Multiple lesions, early in life suggest a genetic syndrome.
**Brooke-Spiegler syndrome - spiradenomas, cylindromas and trichoepitheliomas
*Generally considered to be an 'eccrine' tumor but some hypothesize a pilar origin <ref>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Kazakov | first1 = DV. | last2 = Soukup | first2 = R. | last3 = Mukensnabl | first3 = P. | last4 = Boudova | first4 = L. | last5 = Michal | first5 = M. | title = Brooke-Spiegler syndrome: report of a case with combined lesions containing cylindromatous, spiradenomatous, trichoblastomatous, and sebaceous differentiation. | journal = Am J Dermatopathol | volume = 27 | issue = 1 | pages = 27-33 | month = Feb | year = 2005 | doi =  | PMID = 15677973 }}</ref>

*Dense nests of cells in the dermis; "dermal blue balls".
*Dense nests of cells in the dermis; "dermal blue balls".
*Apocrine differentiation, i.e. apocrine snouts.
*Biphasic cell population:
**outer dark cells with small hyperchromatic nuclei and minimal cytoplasm.
**inner larger cells with [[vesicular nuclei]] and more cytoplasm.
**In some areas the two cell types mix together with dispersed hyaline droplets.
*Ductal differentiation.
*These cells form lobules that are surrounded by a hyaline or reticulin sheath.
*+/-Lymphocytes.
*Vascular component - large and small blood vessels.

*[[Dermal cylindroma]].
*[[Dermal cylindroma]].  
**These two tumors are very closely related and overlap.
**Many tumors have areas of both spiradenoma and cylindroma.
**The lobules of cylindroma are small
***more consistently discrete,
***show more a more consistent arrangement of the light and dark cells and are
***often surrounded by prominent hyaline material.
**Individual lobules of cylindroma fit together like pieces of a puzzle.
**Lobules of spiradenoma are larger
***may run together and fuse,
***may not have a prominent hyaline surround and
***may show more disorganization and mixing of the two cell types
*[[Trichoepithelioma]].
*[[Trichoepithelioma]].
**Trichoepithelioma will show
***attempts at hair bulbs,
***areas with more eosinophilic cytoplasm and
***characteristic peritumoral stroma
*[[Glomus tumour]], hemangioma or hemangiopericytoma (vascular spiradenomas).
**The location often speaks against glomus tumour.
*Basal cell carcinoma
**Spiradenoma is deeper, without connection to the epidermis
**Spiradenoma lacks clefting artefact.
**Spiradenoma lacks mitoses and prominent apoptosis.
**BCC lacks ducts
**BCC lobules lack a prominent surrounding hyaline membrane
*Lymphoid aggregate (spiradenoma will be cytokeratin positive)
