Giant Eccrine Hidradenoma Mimicking a Malignant Tumor of the Salivary Gland

Giant Hidradenoma of Limbs: A Report of Two Pediatric Cases

Hidradenoma is a rare benign tumor that develops of the eccrine sweat glands. We report here two cases of benign giant hidradenoma with a clear cell variant in one case and nodular in the other. The tumor was localized on the forearm in a patient aged 6 years and in the foot in a 14-year-old child. An excisional biopsy was performed in both patients. Evolution was marked by a good outcome witho...

Malignant Nodular Hidradenoma: A Case Report

cording to their histology, and imaging examinations are not routinely performed. However, when a large soft tissue mass exists and malignancy is suspected, then imaging may be helpful to scrutinize the nature of the tumor. Malignant nodular hidradenoma is a rare aggressive malignant tumor of the eccrine sweat glands. Approximately 50 cases had been documented up to the year 2004 in the English...

Nodular Hidradenoma: A Rare Cytological Diagnosis

Nodular hidradenoma (HA) otherwise called as solid cystic HA/ Eccrine acrospiroma originate from distal excretory duct of sweat gland [1]. Origin from apocrine gland of breast has been seldom noted. It’s slow growing benign freely mobile solitary tumor with solid cystic consistency. Scalp, face and extremities are common locations. The usual age of presentation is 20-50 years showing female pre...

Malignant Pleomorphic Adenoma (Malignant Mixed Tumor) of the Minor Salivary Glands

Salivary  gland  tumors  accounts  for  less  than  1%  of  all  tumors.  Minor  salivary  gland  tumors (MSGTs) are uncommon and make up about 10% of all salivary gland neoplasms. The clinical and histopathological distribution of these tumors vary geographically. A case of a 38 yr old man with a minor salivary gland mass at chin region isreported here. The tumor invaded into the anterior ...
