Abstract
Purpose: Clear cell hidradenoma, now regarded as an eccrine sweat gland tumor on the basis of its enzyme histochemical and electron microscopic features, occurs as a solitary tumor in most instances. Methods: A 17 year old male presented with asymptomatic nodule, which had developed on nipple with a four years of history and total excision and purse-string suture was then performed. Results: No recurrence was observed 2 months after excision. Histologically, it showed a well circumscribed tumor composed of characteristic clear epithelial cells which are focally arranged in glandular patterns. Conclusion: This case is unique in that the tumor developed on the young male nipple, unusual site and this report emphasizes the benefit of local excision to prevent recurrence of these tumor.
