Case: A 26-year-old woman developed a painful enlarging mass in her left leg over the course of 4 years. Marginal resection and local adjuvant therapy was undertaken, and pathology confirmed the mass to be an apocrine hidrocystoma.

Conclusion: Giant apocrine hidrocystomas with osseous involvement outside of the head and neck are extremely rare. Although these tumors have a low recurrence rate, this case presents a single giant apocrine hidrocystoma that recurred and was successfully treated.
