The clinical and pathological features and treatment of two patients with multiple eccrine hidrocystomas are presented. The first case is characterized by multiple pearly papules with a bluish hue located in the periorbital region and the bridge of the nose. The second case is characterized by multiple, skin-coloured papules located in the periorbital area, forehead, chin and nose. Both were exacerbated by a hot and humid environment. Histopathologically, both demonstrated a unilocular cyst located in the dermis, with a 2-3-layer wall composed of cuboidal epithelium that was non-keratinizing. Treatment with topical atropine sulphate 1% in aqueous solution three times a day was instituted in the first case; however, this was poorly tolerated because of blurred vision and nausea. The lesions were subsequently hyfrecated with a good response. The second case was treated with topical atropine sulphate 1% in aqueous solution three times a day with a good response.
