Hidradenocarcinoma: a rare but challenging diagnosis

Abstract

Hidradenocarcinoma is a rare, aggressive cancer arising from sweat glands. Hidradenocarcinoma has no definitive histologic features compared to its benign hidradenoma, thereby posing a diagnostic challenge for clinicians and pathologists. This novel case report demonstrates specific MRI signs that suggested malignant degeneration of hidradenoma.
