Distant metastasis from morphologically low‐grade spiradenocarcinoma: A report of two cases
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Malignant tumors arising from benign eccrine spiradenomas are rare. They are divided by morphology into low-grade and high-grade spiradenocarcinomas, with prognosis and metastatic potential closely linked to their histopathologic features. Tumors with low-grade morphology are known for their indolent behavior, with only two reported instances of metastatic spread. We report herein two further low-grade metastatic spiradenocarcinomas resulting in distant metastasis. Both tumors showed a background of a benign spiradenoma and subtle histopathologic signs of malignant transformation, characterized by loss of the dual-cell population, up to moderate cytological atypia and increased mitotic activity. Both patients developed metastases to the lungs years after the initial presentation, and one showed additional lymph nodal disease. We show that even the morphologically low-grade tumors may rarely show more aggressive behavior. Although often challenging, recognition of the morphologically low-grade malignant spiradenocarcinoma and long-term follow-up of the patients are important to detect metastatic disease.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
