“…Apocrine hidrocystomas, which are also known as apocrine cystadenomas and apocrine retention cysts, most commonly appear as asymptomatic and solitary or occasionally multiple dome-shaped, cystic translucent nodules presenting a smooth surface with color which varies from skin color to grayish or blue-black because of the Tyndall phenomenon or the presence of lipofuscin pigments in the fluid [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. They were first described by Mehregan in 1964 that reported 17 cases of a benign neoplasm located on the face that he named "apocrine cystadenoma" underlining that the tumor had to be considered an adenomatous cystic proliferation of the apocrine gland [1,[8][9][10].…”

“…In general, eccrine hidrocystomas are considered to represent dilatations of eccrine ducts due to retention of eccrine secretions. In contrast, apocrine cystadenomas are mostly thought to be true adenomas of the apocrine sweat gland coils because the secretory cells do not appear flattened as seen with a true retention cyst [1,2,7,20,31].…”

Apocrine hidrocystomas of the eyelids are cystic tumors that have their origin in the glandular portion of the apocrine gland; in most cases they cause only mild or absent symptoms, but they may annoy patients when in huge number, usually interfering with the field of view and disfiguring of upper part of the face. Consequently, those affected usually ask these lesions to be removed. Although a solitary lesion can be treated easily with surgical excision, the elimination of multiple lesions may be problematic because of their number and locations. Many approaches were proposed for solving this particular clinical presentation. We present a difficult case of multiple apocrine hidrocystomas successfully treated using carbon dioxide laser with a good cosmetic outcome taking the opportunity for a literature review.

“…Multiple apocrine cystadenomas are benign tumours that have been described in cats and people, 1,2 yet rarely reported in dogs. In cats and people, these present as periocular masses and are invariably reported as apocrine hidrocystomas 1,2 . To the best of the authors' knowledge, there is only one case report of multiple apocrine cystadenomas in a dog 3 .…”
