INTRODUCTION In recent years much attention has been focused on the human eccrine sweat gland by both clinical and basic science investigators (1-14). The clinician is aware of the role of the sweat gland in the production of both general and cutaneous disease. The physiologist and the chemist have studied the normal and the alterations from the normal of the functions of the gland and of its secretions. Pathologists have been concerned primarily with tumors of the sweat glands and occasionally with alterations in structure as they pertain to clinical disease. The present trend is to correlate the normal and the abnormal variations of the physiology and chemistry of the sweat gland with its histochemistry and histo-logic structure.
