Bilateral Eyelid Polyposis Due to Eccrine Hidrocystoma. This case report discusses a diagnosis of eccrine hidrocystoma in a female patient aged 65 years who presented with bilateral, painless eyelid masses.
Topical glycopyrrolate followed by microneedling: a novel treatment option for eccrine hidrocystomas. Eccrine hidrocystomas (EH) are benign cystic tumors of the eccrine glands with no established treatment yet. Eccrine glands are activated by acetylcholine released from innervating sympathetic nerve fibers. Use of oral anti-cholinergic agents is rare due to the possibility of systemic side
Diagnostic Workup and Treatment of a Rare Apocrine Hidrocystoma Affecting the Oral Mucosa: A Clinical and Histological Case Report Apocrine hidrocystomas are rare benign cystic tumors originating from the secretory portion of apocrine sweat glands. To the best of our knowledge, there is no evidence currently available reporting the presence of apocrine hidrocystomas in the oral cavity. Therefore , this case report aims to describe the clinical and histological features of an apocrine hidrocystoma affecting the oral mucosa. A 69-year-old male patient presented with a 1-year history of a solitary, well-circumscribed, submucosal mass in the left posterior buccal mucosa. The clinical examination revealed a yellowish soft, fluctuant, and painless lesion with no clinical signs of erythema or ulcerations
Giant eyelid eccrine hidrocystoma-induced progressive ptosis in childhood An upper lid eccrine hidrocystoma presenting as early childhood progressive ptosis is very rare. We present a 9-year-old female child with droopy right upper lid since birth and progressive increase in symptoms. She had right upper lid ptosis (marginal reflex distance 1 of -1 mm) with fair levator function (8 mm ) and abnormal cystic change on the conjunctival side. Computerized tomography imaging delineated the well-defined cystic lesion with homogeneous cavity with no contrast enhancement. Following the cyst excision, a giant eccrine hidrocystoma measuring 25 mm × 15 mm was removed, the largest reported in pediatric eyes. The case demonstrates the possibility of giant lid eccrine hidrocystomas presenting
Giant Hidrocystoma of the Orbit Presenting with Inversion and Ptosis of the Upper Eyelid A case of giant hidrocystoma of the orbit in a 57-year-old female causing pain, epiphora and ptosis is reported. The cystic mass was totally excised as a whole. Histopathologic examination revealed eccrine hidrocystoma of the orbit. Hidrocystoma must be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients
Presentation of massive orbital hidrocystoma at birth: case report and review of the literature Hidrocystoma, or sudoriferous cyst, is an eyelid tumor originating from apocrine or eccrine sweat glands. Its presence in the orbit is relatively rare. A full-term female child with severe right eye extrusion was referred to our department two hours after birth. We performed cyst aspiration under and then the cyst was completely removed with an intact wall through a trans-conjunctival incision. The diameter of the aspirated cyst was about 4 cm. In pathologic consultation, a cystic cavity lined by a layer of sweat duct like epithelium with apical snouts consistent with the diagnosis of apocrine hidrocystoma was reported. To date, in the literature, six other cases of orbital hidrocystoma have been reported

Multiple Apocrine Hidrocystomas Successfully Treated With Botulinum Toxin A. Apocrine hidrocystomas, while rare, present predominantly as solitary papules occurring in the periocular region of the face. Various treatment modalities for these lesions exist depending on their size and location, but the management of multiple hidrocystomas can be more challenging. Recent reports illustrate that multiple eccrine hidrocystomas have been successfully treated with botulinum toxin A. Herein we describe the effective use of botulinum toxin A in a 29-year-old man with multiple facial apocrine hidrocystomas, which, to our knowledge, has not yet been reported in the English-language literature.
Orbital Eccrine Hidrocystoma A 29-year-old female patient presented with a painless mass on her upper eyelid medially. She noticed the mass 4 years earlier and it had increased in size over time. She had no diplopia, eyelid swelling, skin lesion overlying the mass, or visual disturbances. On ocular examination, eye movements and funduscopy were normal. The mass was movable and painless with palpation. Magnetic resonance imaging with contrast showed a 12x8x7 mm well-circumscribed cystic lesion with no contrast dye appearance. Surgical removal was performed delicately and no capsular rupture occured. Pathological examination revealed an eccrine hidrocystoma. Our aim is to underline that eccrine hidrocystoma should be included in differential diagnosis of orbital masses.
Blue Ear Cyst: A Rare Eccrine Hidrocystoma of the Ear Canal and Successful Endoscopic Excision . Hidrocystomas are benign cystic growths of the apocrine and eccrine sweat glands. These cystic lesions have been well documented on the face, head, and neck, but rarely in the external auditory canal. . A 67-year-old woman presented with a bluish cystic mass partially occluding the external auditory canal and interfering with hearing aid use. Lesion was excised completely via a transcanal endoscopic approach with excellent cosmetic results, no canal stenosis, and no recurrence at 1-year follow-up. . We present a rare eccrine hidrocystoma of the external auditory canal and successful excision of this benign lesion. We describe the surgical management using a transcanal endoscopic approach
"Apocrine Hidrocystoma and Cystadenoma"-like Tumor of the Digits or Toes: A Potential Diagnostic Pitfall of Digital Papillary Adenocarcinoma. Digital papillary carcinoma (DPC) is a rare, underreported, and often misdiagnosed malignant tumor of the sweat glands. It is often located on the digits and toes and most commonly occurs in male individuals in their fifties to seventies. Because of lack of pain, slow growth, and an inconspicuous appearance, clinical diagnosis is often missed or delayed. In contrast, apocrine hidrocystoma (AH) is a cystic adenoma that arises from the apocrine secretory coil, and it is extremely rare for AHs to develop on the digits. We report 7 cases of DPC, including clinical course, histopathologic and immunohistochemical findings, and therapeutic approach in which
Multiple eccrine hidrocystomas successfully treated with cryotherapy in a patient with sarcoidosis. Eccrine hidrocystomas (EHs) are benign cystic lesions of the eccrine ducts. They may have a chronic course and seasonal variation, and have a female predilection. Solitary EH can be easily treated by surgical excision, whereas multiple lesions are difficult to treat. We report a 65-year-old woman
Dermoscopy of apocrine hidrocystomas: a morphological study. The dermoscopic morphology of apocrine hidrocystomas remains to be elucidated. To evaluate the morphological findings of apocrine hidrocystomas under dermoscopic observation. Dermoscopic examination of 22 cases of apocrine hidrocystomas was performed to evaluate specific dermoscopic criteria and patterns. The most frequently occurring dermoscopic features were found to be: (i) A translucent to opaque, homogeneous area which occupies the whole lesion in all apocrine hidrocystomas (100%). The colour of this homogeneous area was skin-colored in 31.8% of our cases; yellow, in 31.8% and blue, in 22.7% of apocrine hidrocystomas. (ii) Vascular structures were identified in 81.8% of our cases; arborizing vessels, in 68.2% and linear-irregular
