Cureus. 2022 Aug 4;14(8):e27676. doi: 10.7759/cureus.27676. eCollection 2022 Aug.

Abstract

Solid cystic hidradenoma, or clear cell hidradenoma, is a distinct and histologically rare tumor formed at the sweat glands, found mainly in adults and majorly among women. In this case, a 26-year-old female presented with asymptomatic swelling in her left inguinal area. Similar cases have been discussed in the literature considering the same kind of tumor. The present case is reported owing to the rarity of the type of tumor in terms of size and region of occurrence with the associated condition of pregnancy.
