Eccrine Hidrocystoma of the Central Chest and Dermoscopic Findings

Eccrine hidrocystomas are benign, cystic tumors that are most commonly found on the central face in middle-aged females. Their dermoscopic findings are rarely described in the literature, with only seven cases currently reported to date. We present the case of an elderly man with an unusual location...

description Eccrine hidrocystomas are benign, cystic tumors that are most commonly found on the central face in middle-aged females. Their dermoscopic findings are rarely described in the literature, with only seven cases currently reported to date. We present the case of an elderly man with an unusual location of an eccrine hidrocystoma of the central chest and its associated dermoscopic findings. Characterizing the dermoscopic features of eccrine hidrocystomas may allow for better differentiation of these lesions from cutaneous malignancies and may minimize unnecessary biopsies, treatment, and scarring.

Their dermoscopic findings are rarely described in the literature, with only seven cases currently reported to date. We present the case of an elderly man with an unusual location of an eccrine hidrocystoma of the central chest and its associated dermoscopic findings. Characterizing the dermoscopic features of eccrine hidrocystomas may allow for better differentiation of these lesions from cutaneous malignancies and may minimize unnecessary biopsies, treatment, and scarring.
