Abstract
A case of Fox-Fordyce disease was diagnosed through histo1ogic examination of a biopsy from the 1eft axilla. The patient was a white adult fema1e who presented an intense pruritus in both axillae. Fistu1ae appeared later. Hyperkeratosis, acanthosis, occ1usion of gland duots, dilation of appocrine gland ducts and a chronic inflamatory infiltrate of the outer annexes was noted. P AS and A1cian Blue staíníng techniques were positive for mucopolysaccharídes and acid mucopolysaccharides in the contents af the dilated ducts and glands. The saliva test for glycogen did not change the P A S and A1cian Blue tests.
