Abstract
Hidradenoma refers to a benign adnexal tumor of apical sweat gland. It is often cutaneous, benign tumor of sweat glands. Other names of it are nodular hidradenoma, eccrine acrospiroma, and solid cystic hidradenoma. Lesions are commonly seen on the head, face, extremities and are rarely seen in oral cavity. Clinical appearance of hidradenoma is not specific, but can be diagnosed histopathologically, after complete removal of the lesion. Histopathologically, it has a striking resemblance to salivary gland pathology. A 75 Year old male patient reported with an extra oral swelling near the lip region. Clinical diagnosis was found to be different when compared to the histopathological diagnosis. Management includes wide local excision.
