Abstract

Hidradenoma are rare benign tumors with eccrine or apocrine differentiation that most often presents as a small, firm, solitary dermal nodule. At times, hidradenoma shows striking cytologic and histologic similarity to other neoplasms, including its malignant counterpart, hidradenocarcinoma. We present the first reported case of benign hidradenoma of the lower lip. The case illustrates important diagnostic features of hidradenoma and discusses the current understanding of its malignant potential and the appropriate management of such lesions.<br /> (Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Inc.
