Göz Kapağında Nodular Hidradenoma

Abstract

Nodular hidradenoma is a benign cutaneous neoplasm originated from ducts of eccrine sweat glands. It usually presents as slowly enlarging, solitary, freely movable, solid or cystic swelling. İt present most instances measure between 0.5 and 2.0 cm in diameter, although they may be larger. A nodular hidradenoma has ben referred to as a clear cell hidradenoma, an eccrine sweat gland adenoma of the clear cell type, a solid cystic hidradenoma, and an eccrine acrospiroma. We report a case of a nodular hidradenoma in a 23-year-old woman who presented with a nodular swelling in the left lower eyelid. The examination revealed a solitary 6 mmx4 mm sized mass in the lid margin of the left lower eyelid. It was firm to hard in consistency, painless, and did not appear to extend to the deeper underlying tissues. There was no ulceration on the surface. The nodular hidradenoma was diagnosed by excisional biopsy.
