Abstract
Sir, Nodular hidradenoma is a rare, benign adnexal tumor usually located in the head, neck, and extremities [1]. The difficulty of the diagnosis is due to the non-specificity of the clinical and histological presentation, often requiring a clinicopathological correlation [2]. Herein, we report a case of atypical abdominal hidradenoma mimicking lipoma. Our patient was a 51-year-old Moroccan female operated for bowel obstruction and fibroma presenting with a slowly growing, painless, subcutaneous abdominal nodule persistent for the last two years. The nodule had gradually increased in size in a context of apyrexia and general state preservation. A clinical examination was remarkable for a subcutaneous nodule (2.5 cm long axis) at the left iliac fossa, painless, indurated, and not fixed to the deep tissues, with slightly purplish skin (Fig. 1). The rest of the examination was featureless. In addition, dermoscopy was non-specific.
