AI Article Synopsis
- Nodular hidradenoma is a rare skin tumor arising from eccrine sweat glands, typically seen as a differential diagnosis for breast nodules.
- There are limited reported cases, with only 25 documented, making misdiagnosis a concern due to unfamiliarity with its features.
- A case is highlighted where an 18-year-old male presented with a breast lump, which was initially diagnosed as a benign skin tumor through fine needle aspiration and later confirmed as nodular hidradenoma via histopathology.
Article Abstract
Nodular hidradenoma is an established entity as a skin adnexal tumor arising from eccrine sweat glands. A skin adnexal tumor located in the breast is unusual and is one of the differential diagnoses for subareolar breast nodules. With the exception of gynecomastia, other lesions of the male breast are not very common. The review of literature showed only 25 reported cases till date. The rarity of this neoplasm and failure to identify its morphologic features may lead to misdiagnosis. Being itself rare, cytological features of this lesion are hardly encountered in case reports. We report a case of an 18-year-old male who presented with a left breast lump and underwent fine needle aspiration and was diagnosed as having a benign skin adnexal tumor. Later it was confirmed by histopathology to be a nodular hidradenoma.

Article Synopsis
- Poroid hidradenomas are rare tumors that develop from eccrine sweat glands and typically present as nodules made up of cuticular and poroid cells.
- They are classified under poroid neoplasms, which also includes other similar tumors like hidroacanthoma simplex and eccrine poroma, and their diagnosis can be complicated due to similarities with other tumors.
- A case study of a 56-year-old woman with a nodular lesion on her finger confirmed a poroid hidradenoma through histopathological analysis, emphasizing the necessity for careful clinical evaluation and diagnosis for these uncommon dermatological issues.

Objective: The aim of this study was to systematically investigate the ultrasonographic features of nodular hidradenoma (NH).
Methods: A retrospective analysis was used to systematically summarize the ultrasonographic data of 27 patients diagnosed with NH by surgical pathology, including 13 eccrine nodular hidradenomas (ENH) and 14 apocrine nodular hidradenomas (ANH).
Results: All instances of NH presented as solitary, well-defined lesions that infiltrated the dermis and subcutaneous fat layer, characterized by a heterogeneous hypoechoic internal solid component on ultrasound imaging.
