Abstract
- Clear cell hidradenoma is an uncommon benign skin appendageal tumor that typically involves the dermal layer of the head, face, and extremities. The breast is a rare site for this lesion, with only two documented cases, which were determined based on mammogram and sonogram findings. We present a case of clear cell hidradenoma of the axillary tail with radiological findings and a literature review.

Fig. 1 56-year-old woman with soft, mobile mass in left axillary tail for six months. A. Medio-lateral oblique mammogram showing round, well-circumscribed, high-density mass in left axilla (white arrow). B. Ultrasound showing oval, well-circumscribed, complex mass with posterior acoustic enhancement in subcutaneous fat layer of left axillary tail. C. Power Doppler study revealed increased vascularity in peripheral area and internal solid portion of mass. D. Microscopically, tumor is predominantly composed of clear cells with ductal differentiation and eosinophilic cytoplasm (Hematoxylin & Eosin stain, ×400).
