Abstract:
Eccrine spiradenoma is a benign, usually a solitary intradermal tumor with a characteristic clinical and pathological picture. Even though eccrine spiradenoma shows no characteristic distribution, it usually occurs on the ventral surface of the body, especially over the upper half including head and neck. Here we present a case of eccrine spiradenoma which occurred at an unusual site, the scrotum. The scrotum in our case is a relatively rare site for eccrine spiradenoma albeit the fact that histogenesis of tumor is uncertain.
