“…Successful margin-free resection through simple and wide-local excision of hidradenocarcinoma of the finger has been described [4]. On the nose and scalp, Mohs micrographic surgery has been effectively used [2,5]. In the present case, tumor involvement of the margin was found and wide local excision of the previous site was offered by a plastic surgeon but was declined by the patient.…”

“…The natural history of hidradenocarcinoma disease has been variably described from indolent to aggressive [2] with a mean 5 year survival rate from time of diagnosis of 73.9%. Local recurrence is common and the disease will often metastasize to regional lymph nodes by the time of diagnosis, spreading to distant tissues in approximately 60% of patients and ultimately resulting in death in 40% of those diagnosed [2].…”

Clear cell hidradenocarcinoma is a malignant tumor of the sweat glands that represents less than 0.001% of the skin appendages malignant tumors. The original description is attributed to Keasbey and Headley in 1954. Its origin can be primary or it can be developed on a pre-existing benign neoplasm [1][2][3]. This neoplasm mainly affects male patients with an average age of 50. The most frequent topographic location is on the head followed by the neck and extremities [3]. In most of the cases, it is presented as a solitary tumor of a variable size of 1 to 5 cm, not well demarcated, either ulcerated or not. Typically, asymptomatic, slow growing and developing metastases approximately 60% within the first 2 years, the 5-year survival rate, is less than 30% [3]. The diagnosis is confirmed by a histopathologic study. The treatment of choice is a surgical procedure with wide margins. Other alternatives are chemotherapy and radiotherapy [3].

“…It grows slowly, over a long period of time, and without symptoms [1]. At present, complete excision with tumor free margins is thought to be a standard treatment for hidradenoma, because malignant transformation may occur [2]. Herein, we present a case of nodular hidradenoma in a 29-month-old girl on her left axilla.…”
