Abstract
A 41-year old woman, who had a congenital sebaceous nevus on the scalp, developed an apocrine hidrocystoma. This tumor, also known as apocrine cystadenoma or more recently as apocrine gland cyst, is a rare lesion, in most cases solitary, that occasionally arises from sebaceous nevi.Most tumors arising from sebaceous nevi appear in adults and often have a non agresive behaviour. Currently the prophylactic removal of sebaceous nevi is not adviced and clinical follow-up is probably enough, with surgical excision only of new developing lesions.
