발목에 발생한 아포크린땀샘낭종 1례

Abstract

Apocrine hidrocystoma is a benign tumor arising from apocrine sweat gland. It presents as a solitary translucent nodule, usually on the face, head, and neck. However it is extremely rare for the apocrine hidrocystoma to arise on the extremities, and no case of apocrine hidrocystoma on lower extremity has been reported in Korean dermatologic literature. Herein, we report a case of 63-year-old male apocrine hidrocystoma that developed in ankle area with a review of the literature.
