Benign Nodular Hidradenoma of the Face

Abstract

A very rare case of nodular hidradenoma with an atypical clinical presentation of the face of a 70-year-old woman is presented. Although this rare benign tumor has the potential of local recurrence and malignant transformation, it is commonly reported in the dermatology, pathology, and oncology literature, with limited clinical information. The purpose of this report was to emphasize the clinical features of this lesion for plastic surgeons.
