- Abstract
Nodular hidradenoma is an infrequent benign tumor originating from the proximal portion of the sweat glands, most commonly associated with the apocrine glands. Owing to its variable clinical presentation, correctly diagnosing nodular hidradenoma can be challenging, with several potential conditions in the differential diagnosis to consider. This article presents a healthy 52-year-old woman with an atypical location of nodular hidradenoma, highlighting the critical role of integrating clinical, dermoscopic, and histopathological characteristics for an accurate diagnosis. We discuss the clinical features, dermoscopic findings, histological examination, differential diagnosis, and treatment options for nodular hidradenoma, emphasizing the importance of surgical intervention in preventing potential malignant transformation.
