Frequent2
[ 2 ] examining the incidence of cytogenetic abnormalities in malignant eccrine tumors showed low incidences of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) or TP53 alterations in a mixed group of these neoplasms, in contrast to the frequent and multiple genetic abnormalities seen in tumors arising from epidermal keratinocytes.

Menopausal hot flashes may narrow (or lower) the threshold values of the thermoneutral zone, resulting in more frequent sweating. (aafp.org)
Commonly3
The glands ( lymph nodes ) on either side of the neck, under the jaw, or behind the ears commonly swell when you have a cold or sore throat. (healthlinkbc.ca)
Swollen glands commonly develop when the body fights infections from colds, insect bites, or small cuts. (healthlinkbc.ca)
Night sweats are a nonspecific symptom that patients commonly experience but rarely discuss with their physicians without prompting. (aafp.org)
Body1
However, research shows UVR is known to suppress sweating, which disrupts body thermoregulation, and a study analyzing TP53 mutations in 16 sweat gland carcinomas identified 3 G:C → A:T transitions at dipyrimidine sequences on the antisense strand. (medscape.com)
Study5
2 One definition suggested in a 2010 study was "sweating at night even when it is not excessively hot in your bedroom. (aafp.org)
In a study of school-aged children in China, 12% reported having weekly night sweats during the past year. (aafp.org)
A cohort study of 1,534 patients older than 65 years found that after seven years, patients who reported having night sweats were not more likely to die or to die earlier than patients who did not report them. (aafp.org)
In one study conducted in the primary care research setting, only 12% of patients who were explicitly asked about night sweats reported the symptom to their physicians. (aafp.org)
1 , 2 One study of 843 patients older than 65 years estimated an annual incidence of 5% (i.e., 5% of patients reported the onset of night sweats during one year). (aafp.org)
Skin2
Most swollen glands or lumps under the skin are not cause for concern. (healthlinkbc.ca)
Swollen glands and other lumps under the skin can be caused by many different things, including illness, infection, or another cause. (healthlinkbc.ca)
Potential2
Carcinomas of the eccrine sweat gland represent a rare group of tumors with potential for local destruction and metastasis. (medscape.com)
In the absence of environmental factors, some potential mechanisms for night sweats have been suggested. (aafp.org)
