Abstract

Hidradenoma papilliferum is an uncommon benign tumour that is located in the anogenital region of middle-aged women. They are usually only diagnosed after excision and are thought to arise from anogenital mammary-like glands. We present the case of a young woman who noticed a slow growing perianal lump which caused minimal symptoms.<br />Competing Interests: Competing interests: None declared.<br /> (© BMJ Publishing Group Limited 2018.
