Progesterone receptor positivity supports hormonal control of syringomas.

Syringomas may be at least partially under estrogen and/or progesterone influence, as they are more common in women and are known to proliferate at puberty. During pregnancy and the premenstrual period an increase in tumor size has also been described. We examined nine syringomas using immunohistochemical markers for estrogen (ER) and progesterone (PR) receptors. Scattered tumor cells displaying nuclear and cytoplasmic staining for ER were noted in one of the nine cases. Intense nuclear and cytoplasmic staining for PR was noted in most (> 80%) of the neoplastic cells in 8/9 syringoma cases. Current immunohistochemical evidence supports the theory that syringomas are under hormonal control.[1]
