Nodular Hidradenoma- An Uncommon Diagnosis on Cytology.
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
Hidradenoma is a benign adnexal tumor of the eccrine sweat glands. It is also known as nodular hidradenoma, eccrine acrospiroma and solid- cystic hidradenoma. It is an intermediate entity between eccrine poroma and eccrine spiradenoma[1] based upon electron microscopic ultrastructural features and histochemical enzyme analysis. It can involve various sites such as scalp, face, axillae, arms, thighs, trunk, pubic region but commonest site is head.[2] It usually occurs in second- fifth decade with a peak incidence in fifth- sixth decade showing a female preponderance. It usually presents as a slow growing, well- circumscribed, solitary, red- blue or brown colored, freely mobile mass with an average size of 5- 30 mm.[3] The cytological diagnosis of this tumor can be difficult at times as it mimics other benign and malignant skin neoplasms. On histopathological examination both solid and cystic components are noted with characteristic clear cells. In this case report, we present a case of a 45 year old female with a swelling over the left arm.
