Abstract:
Apocrine hidrocystoma is an uncommon benign tumor derived from the secretory segment of apocrine sweat glands and another name for it is apocrine cystadenoma. A 48-year-old female patient had a solitary, translucent red-brownish cystic nodule, 10 × 6 × 7mm in size, on the periorbital area of her left eye. The lesion had enlarged very slowly for 25 years. We excised the lesion and identified it as apocrine hidrocystoma. This is a case of apocrine hidrocystoma with typical clinical and histopathological findings.
