چکیده
Apocrine hidrocystoma is a cyst from the secretory portion of the apocrine sweat gland and tends to occur as a solitary facial lesion. We report a 66-year-old woman with multiple, cystic lesions on her face. Histopathology revealed cystic spaces lined by a row of secretory cells showing decapitation secretion. We emphasize the multiple character of the case and discuss its distinction from so-called eccrine hidrocystomas.
