Apocrine Hidrocystoma of the Nail: A Unique Case.

Abstract: Apocrine hidrocystomas are benign, cystic neoplastic lesions resulting from the apocrine secretory component of the sweat gland. They most commonly occur on the head and neck, with predilection to the periorbital area. Less frequent sites include the axilla, nipple, external auditory canal, foreskin, conjunctiva, lower lip, and fingers, among others. The authors report a unique case of a nail bed hidrocystoma in a 55-year-old woman, a site not previously described.
