Abstract:
Clear cell hidradenoma is a much less common primary cutaneous tumor originated from sweat gland. Clinically this tumor occurs more frequently in female than in male and in patients of any age although there is a predilection for the middle and older age groups. The lesion is solitary and represents a cutaneous nodular and cystic mass of slow expansible growth. By light microscopy the lesion has been characterized as a solid cataneous tumor composed of clear epithelial cells which are focally arranged in glandular and cystic patterns. We observed a 37-year-old housewife who had suffered from a tumor on her back for 3 years. The tumor was a pedunculated, soft, fixed mass and 3. 5 * 3 * 1. 5 cm in size. Histopathologic finding showed the tumor to be composed of two main types of cells, fusiform and clear cells.
