Nodular hidradenoma is an uncommon cutaneous adnexal tumor arising from sweat glands. In the skin, it usually presents as a solitary dermal nodule; excision is curative in most cases. In rare instances, it may present as a breast mass and can mimic breast carcinoma clinically and radiologically, causing diagnostic dilemmas for the treating physician and pathologist. Herein, we discuss a case of nodular hidradenoma in a 20-year-old Hispanic woman as a rapidly growing mass in the breast that mimicked breast carcinoma. We discuss the rare presentation of this uncommon tumor and the differential diagnosis of this entity, as well as the results of our literature review on the topic.
结节性汗腺瘤是一种罕见的起源于汗腺的皮肤附属器肿瘤。在皮肤中,它通常表现为单个真皮结节;大多数情况下,手术切除可治愈。在罕见情况下,它可能表现为乳腺肿块,在临床和影像学上可酷似乳腺癌,给治疗医生和病理学家带来诊断难题。在此,我们讨论一例20岁西班牙裔女性的结节性汗腺瘤,其表现为乳腺内迅速生长的肿块,酷似乳腺癌。我们讨论了这种罕见肿瘤的少见表现、该实体的鉴别诊断以及我们关于该主题的文献综述结果。
