Rare Benign Nodular Hidradenoma of the Breast in a Male Child
Abstract
We report the first documented case of nodular hidradenoma arising from the nipple-areolar complex in a 9-year-old male. Excision of an enlarging breast lump was performed, and histopathology confirmed solid-cystic eccrine hidradenoma with clear margins. Although benign, it can mimic malignancy clinically and radiologically and warrants complete excision.
