“…The most common clinical presentation was a solitary, intradermal, and painful nodule, the most frequent areas in the body were found to be the face and chest. 2 They usually present as typically small, discrete, well defined, and were found to be embedded in normal eccrine sweat glands.Research shows no age, gender or common site predilection. 3,4 These tumors are usually benign but the signs of malignancy include new onset of pain, color change of nodule, a rapid increase in size, increase in severity of tenderness or new onset of ulceration of a stable nodule.…”

“…1 It is frequently a benign tumor characterized as solitary, painful deep -seated dermal nodule with most common sites being the upper thorax and face. 2 Malignant transformation is suggested by the typical history of a longstanding benign lesion (mean duration of preexisting lesion is 20 years), that suddenly becomes enlarged, ulcerated & tender with change in it's color. 1…”

Introduction: Eccrine spiradenoma is extremely rare adnexal tumor of the sweat gland, mainly affecting middle aged persons with equal incidence in males and females. It is frequently a benign tumor characterized as solitary, painful deep-seated dermal nodule with most common sites being the upper thorax and face. Case report: A 35 year old male presented with multiple, painful swellings over scalp,face,anterior chest and back since 6 months with loss of weight and appetite for 2 months. On examination, patient had a single cervical lymph node of size 1*1cm in the right posterior triangle of neck. Multiple tender subcutaneous, hard, nonmobile swellings present over several areas with largest(2*1cm) over anterior chest wall. Histopathologically diagnosed as Eccrine spiradenoma which revealed clusters and sheets of cells having mild pleomorphic round to ovoid bland nuclei with indistinct cytoplasmic borders, occasional duct or follicular appearance and empty looking lumina with no necrosis or mitotic activity. Conclusion: Eccrine spiradenoma, a rare benign adnexal tumor confirmed by histopathological examination. Differential diagnosis include, Neuroma, Dermatofibroma, Glomus tumor, Angiolipoma, Cylindromas and leiomyomas. Diagnosis confirmation by histopathological examination is crucial because of its potential for malignant transformation. Its prognosis is poor as it has multiple recurrences. Histopathological examination is gold standard for the diagnosis.

“…The occurrence of Eccrine Spiradenoma is considered as of extreme rarity. There are only 50 reported cases which were being mentioned in the literature till date [1][2][3]. Out of those, 18 cases (36%) were from head and region, and only 1 case (2%) associated with head and neck malignancy [3,4].…”

Introduction: Eccrine Spiradenoma is a rare connective tissue tumor arising from the dermis of well differentiated eccrine sweat gland. It is considered benign nature, nonetheless, reported malignant cases are extremely rare. The most common presentation symptom is localized intradermal swelling and complete surgical excision is the gold standard in managing these cases.Aim: This case report is undertaken to document a rare case of adnexal tumor of head and neck as well as sharing our experience to peer medical practitioners.Case study: We present a case of a 68-year-old lady, presented to a tertiary medical centre with a localized nodular right posterior neck swelling for the past 10 years, which underwent complete excision.Results and discussion: Following complete surgical excision and thorough surveillance, there is no evidence of recurrence and malignant transformation.Conclusions: Eccrine Spiradenoma is an extremly rare adnexal tumor that could involve head and neck, with reported cases of recurrence and malignant transformation that need to be closely observed and intervened should it present.
