Abstract

Nodular hidradenomas is an uncommon benign adnexal tumor that arises as nodules from eccrine sweat glands. Although it can appear at various sites, its occurrence in eyelids is extremely rare. The diagnosis is usually confirmed on histopathology, and the lesion poses a diagnostic challenge for cytopathologist and is rarely diagnosed on fine aspiration needle cytology (FNAC), which prompted us to report. Here we report a rare case of Nodular Hidradenoma in a 50-year male, that was initially diagnosed on FNAC and later confirmed on histopathology and IHC. Thus, our study emphasizes that FNAC can be used as a first line diagnostic modality for nodular lesions of skin.
