TI  - Nodular Hidradenoma of the Scalp: A Rare Case Report
JO  - Surgery Research Journal
VL  - 4
IS  - 1
AB  - Nodular hidradenoma is a rare benign tumour originating from eccrine or apocrine sweat glands.
While documented cases exist in the medical literature, nodular hidradenoma of the scalp is relatively
uncommon. We present a rare case of nodular hidradenoma located on the scalp to contribute to the
limited knowledge regarding its clinical presentation, diagnosis, management and outcomes in this
specific anatomical site.
We present a case of a 45-year-old female with a nodular hidradenoma of the scalp. The patient
complained of a slow growing swelling, itchy, slightly tender scalp lump over 9 years period.
Clinical examination revealed a well-defined, firm nodule measuring 3.5 x 3 cms in diameter with 2
cms wide stalk. The patient underwent complete surgical excision, resulting in a favourable outcome for
regular follow up to one year.
