A Weeping Tumor in a Young Girl: An Unusual Presentation of Nodular Hidradenoma

Indian J Dermatol. 2016 May-Jun;61(3):321-3. doi: 10.4103/0019-5154.182423.

Abstract

A 10-year-old girl presented with a swelling on her left thigh that was associated with dripping of serous fluid from the lesion. Based on histological features of the excised tumor, a diagnosis of nodular hidradenoma was made. Atypical features including large size of the tumor, location on the lower limb, a weeping presentation, and histological finding of a nodular hidradenoma with an unusually large cystic cavity discharging fluid prompted us to report the case.

Keywords: Lower limb; nodular hidradenoma; serous discharge.
