Abstract
- Poroid hidradenoma is a benign tumor with eccrine differentiation. It is a recently described variant of a group of neoplasms known as poromas. This neoplasm shows architectural characteristics of hidradenoma (tumor cells confined within the dermis in both solid and cystic components) and cytologic characteristics of poroid neoplasm (poroid and cuticular cells). We herein report a case of poroid hidradenoma in a 51-year-old woman who presented with a solitary, bluish, tender nodule on the lateral aspect of her right thigh.
