Nodular hidradenoma is a rare benign adnexal tumor that occurs as a solitary nodule with a predilection for the head, face, and upper extremities. We describe the case of nodular hidradenoma presenting as an expanding nodule on the scalp. This tumor is a simulator of malignant lesions on clinical and dermoscopic examination. Our case emphasizes the importance to identify this tumor as a differential for scalp lesions.

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.
