Agreed. And in fact, the Andrews clinical dermatology textbook from which this article is primarily based is incorrect, or at least in disagreement, with other authoritative dermatology textbooks (e.g. Bolognia) and from dermatopathology standard classification. While the term "acrospiroma" is sometimes used more descriptively as a general category of benign sweat gland tumor inclusive of both poroma and hidradenoma, it is traditionally synonymous with hidradenoma and I believe it best to go by the dermatopathologic definitions because these are diagnoses that entirely depend on the histologic appearance of these tumors. Thus, I move that this page re-direct to hidradenoma page with relevant material migrated over. Dr G (talk) 23:32, 9 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

The request to rename this article to Hidradenoma has been carried out.

Acrospiroma → Hidradenoma – The Andrews clinical dermatology textbook from which this article is primarily based is incorrect, or at least in disagreement, with other authoritative dermatology textbooks (e.g. Bolognia) and from dermatopathology standard classification. While the term "acrospiroma" is sometimes used more descriptively as a general category of benign sweat gland tumor inclusive of both poroma and hidradenoma, it is traditionally synonymous with hidradenoma and I believe it best to go by the dermatopathologic definitions because these are diagnoses that entirely depend on the histologic appearance of these tumors. According to a 2007 review article from the Journal of Clinical Pathology^[1] (#10 on Google Scholar list of top Pathology publications), which is in agreement with the hidradenoma entry in Bolognia's Dermatology.^[2] Thus, I move that this page re-direct to hidradenoma page, which is itself almost totally undeveloped.
